    La funzione masticatoria è influenzata dall'orientamento del piano occlusale, dalle guide occlusali, dall'overjet e dall'overbite. Generalmente l'overjet e l'overbite sono utilizzati per definire il valore funzionale dell'occlusione. Questo studio associa una valutazione mediante registrazione dei cicli masticatori nel piano sagittale e un esame di immagini TCs dell'occlusione in 15 pazienti aventi una stessa ampiezza di overbite (2 mm) e una stessa ampiezza di overjet (2 mm) a livello degli elementi frontali. Dai risultati ottenuti si evince che i soggetti presentano cicli masticatori vari e angoli fra la superficie palatina degli incisivi superiori e quella vestibolare degli antgonisti di valore compreso tra 12° e 54°. Ciò dimostra che la guida occlusale non è dipendente dall'ampiezza dell'overjet e dell'overbite ma correlato al valore dell'angolo intercondilare chiamato angolo di overjet immediato (IOA

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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 link
    We 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

    We 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 text
    We 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

    The 20th-Century Heritage and the collective housing buildings: the refurbishment of the Orphanage “Don Minozzi” in Antrodoco, L'Aquila

    The case study presented regards an Orphanage built, within a specific social program, by the O.N.P.M.I. (National Opera for Southern Italy) for "the physical and moral assistance of war orphans" in the first half of the twentieth century. The building, designed by the architect Vittorio Paron, author of numerous other orphanages, was built between 1950 and 1957 and it presents a distribution and volumetric arrangement articulated, according to the functionalist approach. With a total area of 1860 sq.m., apportion over five levels, with services and classrooms on the first and second floors and dormitories to the last three, the building has load-resisting skeleton consisting of reinforced concrete frames and of collaborating curtain walls made of masonry stone or brick. The objective of this contribution is to report the results of the validation of an operative methodology elaborated in the complex of the research activity on the topics of refurbishment, in particular also of the specific typologies of the twentieth century Italian architecture, in particular those for collective housing. The methodology, by detailed phases of the building critical analysis, deals with the identification of what is defined as the "charter of values" and the related levels of transformability necessary for defining the objectives of “active conservation” and their operational translation. Specifically, in the case study, “active conservation” has translated into the restoring strategy of the original architectural and spatial features of the building, also in respect of the historical and symbolic value that the building has assumed in the local context, giving coherence to a prevailing conservation address for Italian modernism. At the same time, this approach involved in-depth analysis on the new use, both compatible with the layout and the organization of building spaces, and suitable to the resolution of some critical issues related to the surrounding territory. These aspects suggested the transformation into a tourist accommodation with specific services that are integrated with the local context
