Gli effetti urbanistici di un grande progetto di trasformazione della città di Milano
No full textMilan, the urban planning effects of a large project - Consideration of the affair of the former O.M. (Machine Workshop) area starts with an attempt to ‘read the past to understand the present’ and therefore the main documents, plans and programmes which affected this part of the city were examined and ‘taken apart’ as it were. This process involved analysing some of the main Milanese deregulation instruments (The master document for the Urban Link Line Railway, 1983), the starting point for the redefinition of plans for this area. In subsequent years the entire area was affected by the ‘Nine parks for Milan project’ (1995) which laid the foundations for the complete conversion of it, which was to occur with the ‘Urban redevelopment programme’ (1999) named the ‘former O.M.’. As we will see, this programme was to take no account of some abandoned or about to be abandoned areas contiguous to the zone which were redeveloped independently using the ‘Dia’ instrument. Reflection performed at the same time on the planning assumptions and on actual results highlighted issues for consideration within the framework of large urban transformations. Being There and Away
PERFORMANCES ENERGETICHE DELLA MORFOLOGIA URBANA: LE TIPOLOGIE URBANE DELLA CITTÀ DI MILANO IN RAPPORTO AL FABBISOGNO ENERGETICO.
No full textIl contributo ha come oggetto la stima del fabbisogno energetico della città di Milano a partire dall’analisi delle performances energetiche di vari brani di tessuto urbano. La metodologia sviluppata ha il fine di correlare i temi dell’analisi urbana con quello del consumo energetico. L’immagine puntuale e d’insieme dei tessuti analizzati consente dei confronti sulle prestazioni energetiche delle varie parti della città in funzione dell’epoca di costruzione, della densità, della morfologia prevalente, delle tecniche costruttive. La città di Milano è stata analizzata in relazione alla domanda energetica per diverse tipologie residenziali. A questo scopo é stato sviluppato un modello integrato nel sistema d’informazione geografica (GIS) ArcGIS 9.3 di ESRI. La ricerca si é focalizzata sul fabbisogno di energia da riscaldamento ed é direttamente correlato con la tipologia degli edifici e le tecniche costruttive applicate. Il modello utilizzato prende le premesse dalla quantificazione del comportamento energetico di ogni singolo edificio, applicando poi una generalizzazione delle informazioni ed una semplificazione di alcuni parametri, giungendo così ad una stima delle relazioni che intercorrono tra tipologie urbane diverse nella città, consentendo la valutazione del rapporto tra morfologia urbana e fabbisogno energetico
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
