Clorazione nella rete di adduzione e distribuzione idrica di Ferrara
No full textSi descrive la messa a punto, tramite misurazioni di campo, di un modello di qualità della rete acquedottistica di Ferrara che, basandosi sul software EPANET-MSX, consente di rappresentare la variazione spaziale e temporale della concentrazione del cloro residuo libero e dello ione clorito. Il modello costituisce un utile strumento gestionale per la valutazione dello stato attuale del sistema e dei benefici derivanti dall’utilizzo di dosaggi diversi nelle stazioni di clorazione
Systemic therapy as a first choice treatment for idiopathic granulomatous mastitis
No full textIdiopathic granulomatous mastitis clinically and histologically mimics an inflammatory carcinoma. A correct approach including ultrasound, clinical and histological analysis can safely identify a patient with this pathology, orienting to adequate therapy with anti-inflammatory and antibiotic drugs and leaving the surgical approach only for case unresponsive to medical therapy
Dislocazione e dosaggio ottimale delle stazioni di clorazione in una rete acquedottistica
No full textLa memoria presenta una procedura per l’ottimizzazione del dosaggio nelle stazioni di clorazione esistenti in una rete acquedottistica ovvero della posizione e del relativo dosaggio di un prefissato numero di nuovi punti (stazioni) di clorazione al fine di massimizzare e omogeneizzare la cloro-copertura garantendo, nel contempo, il rispetto dei vincoli rappresentati dalle concentrazioni massime ammissibili per i sottoprodotti nocivi alla salute dell’uomo. La procedura proposta si basa sull’accoppiamento di un ottimizzatore di tipo evolutivo con un modello idraulico e di qualità sviluppato appoggiandosi al software EPANET-MSX al fine di simulare contemporaneamente i fenomeni di decadimento del cloro e di formazione dei sottoprodotti. L’applicazione alla complessa rete acquedottistica di Ferrara evidenzia che la procedura proposta rappresenta un utile strumento per migliorare lo stato di cloro-copertura della rete nel rispetto dei vincoli imposti dalla normativa
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
