I disegni inediti di Xavier Pascal Coste di Antinoupolis e la porticus post scaenam del teatro.
No full textThe contribution examines five unpublished drawings made in Antinoupolis on 18 May 1821, by Xavier Pascal Coste, kept in the Fonds Pascal Coste at the Bibliothèque municipale de Marseille. Four of the drawings refer to a single monument: the Propylaeum which ended the main porticoed street of the city to the east, in the direction of the theatre. Thanks to this new documentation, together with the already known representations, a reconstruction of the monument is advanced, very relevant in terms of size and peculiarities. The fifth drawing presents two more enigmatic depictions, especially for one which depicts a portico on three sides, the location of which is not specified. It is proposed, very cautiously, that this portico could be the porticus post scaenam of the theatre. Beyond this hypothesis, the porticus post scaenam was undoubtedly present in Antinoupolis, with very relevant peculiarities and included in a very articulated urban program, to be traced back to the Hadrian foundation

No full textSi pubblicano tre lettere di Goffredo Coppola conservate nel carteggio Galbiati in Ambrosiana.
Da esse si ricavano informazioni relativa a due progetti mai realizzati da Coppola, una edizione critica delle epistole di Enea di Gaza e una edizione critica di Pindaro.Three letters by Goffredo Coppola preserved in the Galbiati correspondence in the Ambrosiana are published. From them we obtain information regarding two projects that Coppola never carried out, a critical edition of the Epistles of Aeneas of Gaza and a critical edition of Pindar
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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

Abstract
PURPOSE: To evaluate the role of topical mitomycin C in corneal wound healing (CWH) after photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) in highly myopic eyes.
DESIGN: Prospective, double-masked, randomized clinical trial.
PARTICIPANTS: Seventy-two eyes of 36 patients affected by high (>7 diopters) myopia.
METHODS: In each patient, one eye was randomly assigned to PRK with intraoperative topical 0.02% mitomycin C application, and the fellow eye was treated with a placebo. Postoperatively, mitomycin C-treated eyes received artificial tears (3 times daily, tapered in 3 months), whereas the fellow eye was treated with fluorometholone sodium 2% and artificial tears (3 times daily, tapered in 3 months).
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) and best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), contrast sensitivity, manifest refraction, and biomicroscopy. Contrast sensitivity was determined using the Pelli-Robson chart. Corneal confocal microscopy documented CWH.
RESULTS: Mean follow-up was 18 months (range, 12-36). No side effects or toxic effects were documented. At 12-month follow-up examination, UCVAs (logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution) were 0.4+/-0.48 and 0.5+/-0.53 (P = .03) in mitomycin C-treated eyes and corticosteroid-treated eyes, respectively. At 1 year, corneal haze developed in 20% of corticosteroid-treated eyes, versus 0% of mitomycin C-treated eyes. At 12, 24, and 36 months, corneal confocal microscopy showed activated keratocytes and extracellular matrix significantly more evident in untreated eyes (Ps = 0.004, 0.024, and 0.046, respectively).
CONCLUSION: Topical intraoperative application of 0.02% mitomycin C can reduce haze formation in highly myopic eyes undergoing PRK.

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
Satyricon 44,5. Nuove proposte.
No full textIn un difficile passo del Satyricon di Petronio, a 44,5, si legge : similia sicilia interiores et. E’ uno dei più criptici del romanzo, in cui il testo di H, sicuramente compromesso, ha da sempre suscitato tra gli studiosi vivo interesse, e innumerevoli sono state le ipotesi e le congetture per cercare di decifrarne il significato. In questo articolo espongo le nuove proposte, valutate in una analisi condivisa con mio Padre, Prof. Giuseppe Pennisi, al fine di poter dare nuova lettura ‘senso’ e interpretazione a un locus desperatu
