San Francesco di Paola a Verona. Storia e contesto di un convento diventato sede universitaria
No full textIl libro, dedicato alla chiesa e al convento dei Minimi di San Francesco di Paola a Verona, rende merito a un complesso monumentale cui non era mai stato dedicato uno studio monografico. Grazie al contribuito di vari autori, il volume ricostruisce la storia del convento, strettamente intrecciata a quella della città; ne segue le vicende dalla fondazione di fine Cinquecento, alla demaniazione d’inizio Ottocento e alla trasformazione in caserma fino alle vicende legate alla seconda guerra mondiale e alla ristrutturazione per destinarlo all’ateneo veronese, con la chiesa ristrutturata come sede della biblioteca centrale Arturo Frinzi. In questo quadro sono considerate le strutture architettoniche, stratificate e modificate nel tempo, e quanto si può rintracciare o ricostruire della dotazione artistica. La vicenda del convento è poi approfondita in rapporto alla storia, alla tradizione e alle emergenze del luogo dove è sorto e al suo contesto più immediato, a ridosso delle mura medievali, in origine caratterizzato dalla presenza assai prossima di due altre fondazioni religiose: Santa Maria della Vittoria Vecchia e Santa Maria della Vittoria Nuova
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
Preparation of catalysts and photocatalysts used for similar processes
No full textThis chapter reports the main techniques used to synthesize powders and films of heterogeneous catalysts and photocatalysts, often used for similar processes. Traditional preparation processes of bulky (photo)catalysts including precipitation, sol-gel technique, hydrothermal or solvothermal method, solid-state reactions, and flame syntheses were briefly described. The sonochemical method and microwave irradiation technique were also considered. The syntheses of supported catalysts by different techniques, including deposition-precipitation, impregnation, and wet coating technologies were also described. Moreover, a survey is reported of methods to deposit thin films of catalysts on various supports such as deposition-precipitation, impregnation, chemical and physical vapor deposition, or electrodeposition
Design of an Integrated Monitoring System for Multiple-Unit Freight Trains
Full text linkLately the world of passenger rail transport has undergone profound changes that have brought rail back to the centre of both policy and market attention. However, rail is now facing another revolution: policies are pushing toward a modal shift for freight as well, hoping to increase rail modal share by tapping into a larger pool of freight (e.g. refrigerated goods) and make it more sustainable both on an environmental and social level. To fulfil this purpose, freight trains must take advantage of existing high-speed infrastructure designed for promiscuous use, but only used for passengers. A necessary condition toward this goal is for the trains to be equipped with monitoring systems that enable the rolling stock to be continuously diagnosed in order to increase their safety, quality, and reliability. In this paper, after providing an overview of the Technical Specification for Interoperabilities applied on passenger trains in Europe and of the needs of the freight market, an innovative monitoring system for the next generation high-speed freight electric multiple unit is designed with a model based systems engineering approach, defining functional, logical and physical architectures. Then its future technological implications are evaluated, in a context where artificial intelligence is increasingly central in all industries, especially in predictive maintenance

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
