The Foglia river alluvial system (northern marche) and its relation to the late quaternary evolution of the central adriatic shelf
No full textThe late Quaternary evolution of the mid-adriatic continental shelf and the river Foglia (Northern Marche) related sediments have been
chosen as an example for a tentative correlation between marine and continental sequences.
The stratigraphic setting of the late Quaternary deposits of the Adriatic shelf has been defined by many Authors and is characterized by
a low system tract, present inside the mid-adriatic depression, followed by the transgressive and highstand system tracts formed by the
post-glacial sea-level rise.
Taking into account data from numerous available boreholes, a longitudinal section of the Foglia river alluvial plain has been defined
that shows four depositional units. These units, supported by radiocarbon ages, correlate with the recognized marine system tracts
Coastal processes and cliff recession between Gabicce and Pesaro (Northern Adriatic Sea): a case history.
No full textCliff recession on the high rocky coast between Gabicce and Pesaro Adriatic sea causes a wide range of mass movement
processes on the whole slope, affecting both the bedrock and the overburden. The outcropping late Miocene rock formations are
represented by marls, marly limestones, dark laminated mudstones and bedded sandstones and marls. Mass movements are
common because of stratification and discontinuities in the rocks that, together with the presence of groundwater and
weathering processes, reduce the overall strength of the slopes. A model for the evolution of this coastal area is proposed, which
involves cyclic basal erosion, followed by mass movement that favours debris accumulation at the base of the cliff. The
longshore currents have to then remove the material before a new cycle can begin

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
