Dalla Direttiva europea sull'Eco Design "progettazione ambientale" dei prodotti
No full textL'articolo tratta il tema della progettazione dei prodotti e dei servizi secondo criteri di compatibilità ambientale e dell'influenza che la nuova Direttiva Eco Design dell'Unione Europea potrà avere sulle scelte di progettazione da parte delle imprese produttrici, con particolare riferimento ai settori relativi ai cosiddetti Energy-using Products

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
INFLUENCE OF ATMOSPHERIC TEMPERATURE AND RELATIVE HUMIDITY ON BULK MILK SOMATIC CELL COUNT IN DAIRY HERDS
Full text linkThe production loss and health issues due to the presence of high bulk milk tank somatic cell count in dairy herds makes it essential to implement a consistent effort to maintain this indicator at levels below those required by law. For veterinary practitioners, providing evidence-based advice to clients in order to reduce risk factors of increasing somatic cell count is a difficult task. Statistical Process Control tools allow to verify with statistical certainty when process performance is improving, staying the same, or getting worse and they can be used in dairy farms. The main purpose of the project was to improve understanding in bulk milk somatic cell count variation related to daily temperature and relative humidity, and to build a model which could be predictive of future performance of somatic cell count. Daily bulk milk samples of thirteen commercial dairy farms included in the study were collected and data on daily mean temperature and relative humidity were used. Statistical analysis was performed using Generalized Additive Mixed Models to assess the impact of climatic variables on somatic cell count. We could describe a regression model which shows that the effect of temperature on response appears approximately linear while the one of humidity varies in a more complex way. The model fits well for all herds except one, and explanations are provided. The model constitutes a solid basis for further study of the relationship between daily temperature and humidity, and daily bulk milk somatic cell count. It will allow to set up a quality control on dairy farm using atmospheric temperature and humidity data. Hence it will be possible to provide evidence-based advice to dairy farmers with the use of control charts created on the basis of our statistical model
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
