L’urbanismo tattico come forma di design del non-finito.
No full textLe città contemporanee si trovano oggi ad affrontare gravi incertezze e sfide. Riflettere sullo spazio pubblico e considerare l'esperienza acquisita dalla pandemia richiede un'azione urgente di sviluppo urbano sostenibile e inclusivo. Oggi siamo di fronte a un sostanziale aumento dei progetti spaziali caratterizzati da temporaneità, basso costo e informalità. Questi esperimenti mirano a migliorare la qualità della vita urbana riconnettendo le persone con i loro territori e trovando opportunità di progetto negli spazi pubblici esistenti - spesso luoghi interstiziali o anonimi nascosti tra i rifiuti dell'ambiente costruito che hanno un grande potenziale di trasformazione. Le iniziative di urbanistica temporanea stanno cambiando l'aspetto delle città: il recupero di spazi di risulta, la riappropriazione di spazi degradati o abbandonati e gli eventi spontanei basati sulle iniziative dei cittadini diventano nuove pratiche progettuali in cui la temporaneità è un aspetto fondamentale. Questi interventi danno "un segno forte alla città, ma quasi sempre temporaneo e reversibile. Trasformano l'immagine urbana della città, magari solo per un'ora, ma hanno il potere di cambiare l'immagine in modo duraturo
L'UE e l'Azerbaigian
No full textL ’Azerbaigian si colloca a pieno titolo nel prisma di paesi a elevato interesse strategico per l’unione Europea (uE). Ciò è stato prevalentemente determinato dal progressivo “avvicinamento” geografico al paese, frutto di due processi di allargamento a Est, ma anche dalla rilevanza che la regione del Caucaso ha progressivamente assunto nelle strategie di sicurezza e prosperità dei paesi occidentali. In maniera speculare, l’Azerbaigian ha cercato negli ultimi anni di approfondire i suoi rapporti con l’unione Europea, considerata come un ulteriore partner, tra i molteplici attivi nell’area, in grado di favorire gli interessi del paese caucasico e la sua politica di attore indipendente nello scacchiere regionale
Design for public engagement: merging the role of academics and neighbourhood communities
No full textDesign emerges as a pivotal driver in fostering social cohesion, provid-ing the public realm with the tools to face the intricacies of urban living, and conceiving novel pathways for the future. Its influence extends to the creation of spaces and experiences that are not only inclusive but also accessible, fostering community engagement and supporting peo-ple to actively shape the environments that surround them. In this framework, Off Campus Nolo, a neighbourhood living lab in the city of Milan, is showing how bringing academic expertise to a neighbourhood scale can enhance the quality of design actions, explore innovative methods of knowledge co-production and dissemination, and stimulate social innovation within local communities
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
Micro milling of polymeric micro injected specimens with randomly oriented carbon nanotube fillers
No full textThe interest in the application of carbon nanotube (CNT) composites is recently increasing in several industrial sectors. The main reason for this growing attention is the reinforcing effect of the CNTs. However, the composite use is limited by technological issues concerning the manufacturing processes when small features are required. A multistage process chain could exploit the advantages of suitable processes to enhance the control of the filler orientation. This paper investigates the feasibility of milling micro features on micro injected specimens of POM/CNT and LCP/CNT composites. Design of experiment is used to study a suitable experimental design to investigate the influence of the material and the process parameters on the machinability and the feature geometry. POM-based composites showed a better machinability and allowed a fabrication of more accurate features, while LCP showed high cutting forces and the presence of diffused burrs, preventing the fabrication of very small features
Situated partnerships to face food waste within a neighborhood based food redistribution service: the case of "SOSpesa"
No full textDispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe 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
Bibliographics for the 983 eprints in the live archives of E-LIS : trends and status report up to 7th July 2004, based on author-self-archiving metadata
No full textThe priority for ideas and philosophy related to "Network Theory" have been traced back and documented by Braun(2004),and credit goes to Karinthy(1929).The IT has empowered to realise it, as the most practical phenomena and it is no more a humour. The OAI (Open Archives Initiatives)and ACIS (Academic Contributor Information System)are progressive in the direction ,which may lead to realise the "Collective Genius" at global level. Focus of present study is on Author-Self-Archiving (A-S-A)Metadata of the 983 Eprints in the Live Archives of the E-LIS (EPrints of Library and Information Science),which were approved till 7th July 2004.The A-S-A Metadata was used for librametric analysis. Self-explanatory bibliographics are illustrated.The highlights include: Conference papers (34%); highest approval, June 2004 (28%); published archives (76%);not refereed (52%); not in public domain (60%); highest self-archiving-author (De Robbio, Antonella).The Nos. of EPrints having single JITA domain specifications were: Theoretical and general aspects of libraries and information(27); Information use and sociology of information(80);Users,literacy and reading(13);Libraries as physical collections(30);Publishing and legal issues(57);Management(13);Industry, profession and education(36);Information sources, supports, channels(113) ; Information treatment for information services, Information functions and techniques (101); Technical services libraries, archives and museums(25); Housing technologies(1); Information technology and library technology(92); and Inter-domainery (395) i.e. having specifications of two or more than two JITA classes
