    The event “Stereotomy 2.0 and Digital Construction Tools” was held in New York from April 16th to April 29th, 2018 at the School of Architecture and Design (SoAD) of the New York Institute of Technology. The event included a workshop and an exhibition of the students’ work, that was followed by a symposium with international academics and professional speakers. Finally, an exhibition held in the Par Excellence Gallery in New York has shown some of the state-of-the-art research on digital stereotomy through physical models, prototypes and posters

    Costruzione del valore sui social media bancari. Un focus sulla poliedrica natura dei valori comunicati e ricercati

    Full text link
    Il settore finanziario sta vivendo profonde trasformazioni, il contesto bancario non ne è esente. Simili trasformazioni impongono seri ripensamenti per le banche e sul come esse possano continuare a creare ancora valore e mantenere un vantaggio competitivo. Sulla base di ciò, il presente lavoro si concentra così sul concetto di banca e valore con particolare focus sui social media. Sulla base della revisione della letteratura lato bancario e social media, che guida il primo capitolo, ci si è, poi, concentrati sull'indagare i valori aziendali ricercati dalle banche classificandoli in maniera comprensiva per la prima volta e al fine di comprendere, attraverso uno studio su quattro casi, se esista un gap con i valori comunicati sui loro profili social. All'analisi dal lato dell'impresa si è, infine, unito un focus sul lato dell'utenza. Partendo dalla distinzione tra follower e non follower di social media bancari, si è voluto cogliere quali valori e principi per essi, invece, possano essere più significativi in termini di influenza su engagement, fedeltà, word of mouth e fiducia verso i social media bancari

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

    Variations on the Author

    “Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    Full text link
    We provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis

    Flow Technology for the Genesis and Use of (Highly) Reactive Organometallic Reagents

    No full text
    In the field of organic synthesis, the advent of flow chemistry and flow microreactor technology represented a tremendous novelty in the way of thinking and performing chemical reactions, opening the doors to poorly explored or even impossible transformations using batch methods. In this Concept article, we would like to highlight the impact of flow chemistry for exploiting highly reactive organometallic reagents, and how, alongside the well-known advantages concerning safety, scalability, and productivity, flow chemistry makes possible processes that are impossible to control by using the traditional batch approach
