La formazione urbanistica dell'ingegnere e il governo del territorio
No full textLa pianificazione territoriale e l’urbanistica stanno vivendo una stagione particolare, per i cambiamenti che toccano i valori posti a fondamento delle scelte dei piani e dei progetti e al tempo stesso per le
sfide che minacciano la città contemporanea. Per risolverle è necessario un passaggio della disciplina urbanistica dall’eccezionalità dei provvedimenti all’ordinarietà della azioni, da approcci settoriali ad altri integrati e multidisciplinari, al fine di rendere equo il rapporto tra l’ambiente e la società.
Le complessità appena accennate possono essere potenzialmente affrontate della figura dell’ingegnere, sia per il contributo specifico, che per le capacità di sintesi progettuale. Radicato in una solida preparazione fisico-matematica, l’ingegnere assume la tecnica come riferimento per la soluzione dei problemi, ben sapendo che la tecnica ha in sé dei limiti intrinseci e altri gliene pone la collettività.
La formazione urbanistica dell’Ingegnere in tale prospettiva, deve essere resiliente e flessibile, adattandosi ai cambiamenti necessari alla disciplina per essere efficace operativamente e alla società portatrice di interessi e bisogni sempre mutevoli. Di fronte alle sfide sempre più cogenti che riguardano il presente, è evidente il ruolo insostituibile che la figura dell’ingegnere può svolgere nelle professioni riguardanti il territorio e l’ambiente, con particolare attenzione alle prospettive di evoluzione del sistema paese anche a seguito della crisi economica e finanziaria.
Il convegno “La formazione urbanistica dell’Ingegnere e il governo del territorio” chiude le celebrazioni del cinquantesimo anniversario della fondazione del Centro Nazionale di Studi Urbanistici, riprendendo il tema del primo Convegno CeNSU celebrato a Sorrento nel novembre 1965: il tema è appunto quello del legame tra la figura professionale dell’ingegnere e la disciplina urbanistica. L’evento di Roma del 26 e 27 novembre 2015, i cui i risultati più significativi sono riportati nel presente lavoro, fonde conoscenze accademiche ed esperienze professionali, oltre a far emergere alcune tematiche dibattute a livello nazionale. Esso rappresenta il primo volume di una collana che ha l’obiettivo di favorire il dibattito tecnico-scientifico su temi emergenti nel campo della ricerca in urbanistica, applicata anche alle problematiche della pianificazione alla scala urbana e territoriale, che possa rappresentare un solido ponte tra ricerca e l’attività professionale
Arylferrocenylmethanols: a new family of ferrocenes to be used as mediators in biosensors
No full textArylferrocenylphenylmethanols, ArFcPhCOH, were prepared from the corresponding aryl ferrocenyl ketones, ArCOFc, prepared by Friedel-Crafts acylation. pKa values of ArCOFc were determined in sulfuric acid. The electrochemical properties of ArFcPhCOH were investigated. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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 linkWe 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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe 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
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
