No full textUn consilium del giurista ferrarese Giovanni Cefali (1511/12-1580/81) in difesa di un giovane accusato di complicità nei reati di ratto e stupro di una ragazza fidanzata con un suo amico
A Versatile Multipurpose Scanning Probe Microscope
No full textA combined scanning probe microscope has been developed that allows simultaneous operation as a non-contact/tapping mode atomic force microscope, a scattering near-field optical microscope, and a scanning tunnelling microscope on conductive samples. The instrument is based on a commercial optical microscope. It operates with etched tungsten tips and exploits a tuning fork detection system for tip/sample distance control. The system has been tested on a p -doped silicon substrate with aluminium depositions, being able to discriminate the two materials by the electrical and optical images with a lateral resolution of 130 nm

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
A New Combined Laparoscopic-Vaginal Lateral Suspension Procedure for the Treatment of Pelvic Organ Prolapse
No full textObjective: To show an original technique of a new combined vaginal-laparoscopic lateral suspension in Hysteropexy with cistocele and rectocele. In recent years, changes in attitudes toward sexuality, psychological value of reproductive organs and the desire to preserve fertility have led to a growing interest in uterine-preserving surgery for Pelvic Organ prolapse. Minimally invasive procedures derived from sacrocolpopexy are considered the gold standard in the treatment of apical Pelvic Organ prolapse. However, dissection at the level of the promontory may be challenging, particularly in obese women and when an anatomical variation exists. This may be associated with rare but serious neurological or ureteral morbidity as well as life-threatening vascular injury. Materials and Methods: Stepwise demonstration of the technique with narrated video footage. Local institutional review board was consulted, and this study was exempted from approval. Results: Our technique entails 2 times. During the vaginal time, a polypropylene mesh is fixed to the cervical fascia and the 2 extremities are introduced in the abdominal cavity through the Douglas pouch. During the laparoscopic time, a retroperitoneal tunnel is made along the walls of the lateral abdominal walls; thereafter, each of the 2 extremities of the mesh is passed through the omolateral tunnel and “tension-free” suspended to the abdominal wall. Conclusion: Our combined technique may allow a safer approach, reducing the risks of serious complications. Moreover, it leads to a more physiological orientation of the vaginal axis. Further controlled studies are needed to confirm our suggestion
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe 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
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
