La cerimonia del comporre. Metodi e tecniche di composizione nei progetti urbani di Gianugo Polesello = The ceremony of composing. Methods and technics of composition in Gianugo Polesello urban projects
No full textL’obiettivo dell’attività di ricerca presentata è finalizzato a produrre una conoscenza
di tecniche e modalità della composizione urbana attraverso l’analisi e lo smontaggio di diversi progetti svolti dall’architetto friulano Gianugo Polesello. La ricerca si struttura per parti distinte privilegiando un ordine ipotattico bilanciato, a servizio dell’analisi dei progetti urbani, i quali sono il fulcro e il cardine strumentale della produzione di questa conoscenza.
Seppur con una loro diversità, le parti del lavoro proposto individuano un comune intento con cui costituire l’unità della tesi: il riconoscimento di un’idea di città a cui Polesello ambisce in ogni suo progetto attraverso una pratica ripetuta di tecniche ricorrenti (qui definita come cerimonia del comporre).
La prima parte introduce al tema del lavoro sulle forme e gli spazi inquadrando l’esperienza dell’architetto attraverso il riconoscimento di una genetica formale a partire dalle sue prime occasioni giovanili. Si mostra come vi sia una continuità nei temi di ricerca (oltre che alle tecniche) del progetto urbano avviata dal suo maestro Giuseppe Samonà nel contesto accademico veneziano.
La seconda parte, baricentro e nodo cruciale della presente tesi, avanza uno smontaggio critico di alcune selezionate occasioni progettuali elaborate da Polesello all’interno della sua carriera. La scelta dei progetti analizzati si propone più che per la natura delle componenti, quanto per le modalità con cui generare relazioni sul piano di progetto attraverso la dispositio delle figure architettoniche. L’individuazione delle invarianti di ogni area di progetto (topografia critica), la nominazione delle strutture fondative (fondazione del piano), le relazioni tra le parti di progetto e la loro combinazione all’interno del piano (invenzione di un ordine), l’analisi morfologica delle componenti in relazione alla loro collocazione (tipos/topos) costituiscono un armamentario tecnico con il quale indagare le composizioni.
La terza e ultima parte si occupa di illustrare i significati profondi degli strumenti figurativi con cui Polesello dispone le composizioni urbane: viene riconosciuta una tensione astrattiva di tipo iconico alle modalità ricorrenti del configurare, al di là dell’assemblare. Il senso delle operazioni trova nella composizione del “vuoto” urbano una matrice ideale a cui Polesello fa corrispondere forme e spazi. Attraverso il riconoscimento e l’identificazione delle tecniche di composizione è possibile rinnovare il valore dei sensi e dei significati della città dei nostri giorni.
Inoltre, la ricerca si avvale dell’utilizzo di un linguaggio grafico appropriato dato dalla rappresentazione in chiave astrattiva (lineare e stereometrica) rivolta ad un’interpretazione dei significati generali della figuratività che i progetti di Polesello possiedono.The goal of the follow research activity is aimed at producing a knowledge of techniques and modalities of Urban Composition through the analysis and disassembly of several projects carried out by the Friulian architect Gianugo Polesello. The research is structured by distinct parts privileging a balanced hypotactic order, serving the analysis of urban projects, which are the core and instrumental hinge of the production of this knowledge.
Although with their own diversity, the parts of the proposed work identify a common intent with which to constitute the unity of the thesis: the recognition of an idea of the city to which Polesello aspires in each of his projects through a repeated practice of recurring techniques (defined here as a ceremony of composing).
The first part introduces the theme of working on forms and spaces by focusing the architect’s experience through the formal genetic recognition from his early youthful occasions. It shows how there is a continuity in the research themes (as well as techniques) of Urban Design initiated by his master Giuseppe Samonà in the Venetian academia.
The second part, the barycenter and crucial issue of this thesis, makes a proposal for a critical disassembly of selected projects designed by Polesello within his career. The choice of the projects analyzed is proposed more for the nature of the components than for the ways in which they generate relationships on the design plane through the dispositio of architectural figures. The identification of the invariants of each project area (critical topography), the naming of the foundational structures (foundation of the plan), the relationships between the project parts and their combination within the plan (invention of an order), the morphological analysis of the components in relation to their location (tipos/topos) constitute a technical equipment with which to investigate the arrangements.
The third and final part is concerned with illustrating the deeper meanings of the figurative tools with which Polesello arranges urban compositions: an icon-like abstract tension is recognized in the recurring modes of shaping, beyond assembling. The sense of operations finds in the composition of the urban “void” an ideal matrix to which Polesello corresponds forms and spaces. Through the recognition and identification of compositional techniques, it is possible to renew the value of the senses and meanings of the nowadays city.
In addition, the research makes use of an appropriate language given by the representation in an abstract key (linear and stereometric) aimed at an interpretation of the general meanings of figurativeness that Polesello’s projects possess
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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
