Integrazione di procedure e sviluppo di una banca 3D per l’innovazione delle metodiche di progetto e gestione del patrimonio architettonico. Palazzo Arese-Litta a Milano
No full textProcedures integration and development of a 3D data base for methodology innovation and monitoring of the cultural heritage Litta Palace in Milan. The research project started from the willing of Minister of Cultural Activities – Regional Directions of Cultural Heritage of Lombardia, the which, in order to valorize the historic and architectural heritage, wanted to implement activities involving 3D laser scanner campaigns on buildings and objects. These surveys can improve the conservation and valorization of buildings, the analysis of the most complex places like attics and cellar, the comprehension of volumetric structure and connexions created by the system of the different stairs. In this framework Litta Palace, a big urban block facing Corso Magenta in the heart of Milan, was a perfect stage for many reasons: it will be the Regional Direction of Cultural Heritage Venue, it must be restored before the moving of the offices, it has not been surveyed before. These were the motivations behind the research project involvement of capacity building and process optimization aspects and the creation of a huge multi-level data base
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
Dal rilievo alla documentazione 2D e 3D per il progetto di restauro della cittadella fortificata di Gozo a Malta
No full textLa Restoration Unit del Ministry of Resources and Rural Affairs di Malta ha attivato un progetto di rilievo e documentazione della Cittadella di Gozo. In particolare, il progetto ha come scopo il rilievo tridimensionale di dettaglio delle superfici esterne e interne della cinta muraria di fortificazione e una mappatura dello stato di conservazione di strutture e superfici. Il principale obiettivo del rilievo tridimensionale ad alta definizione, oltre a quello primario di documentazione, è connesso all'esigenza di disporre di un modello in grado di identificare la geometria e la morfologia di ogni singolo elemento costituente le fortificazioni al fine di poter ottenere accurate rappresentazioni bidimensionali in grado di costituire una base tecnico-scientifica sulla quale poter redigere il progetto di restauro. Il progetto è stato sviluppato attraverso l'European Regional Development Fund Malta 2007-2013 (Operation Programme I - Cohesion Policy 2007-2013, Investing in Competitivness for a Better Quality of Life). Il gruppo di società italiane affiliate a Prorestauro che hanno realizzato il progetto di documentazione per il restauro, capeggiato dal Consorzio Ferrara Ricerche, ha visto all'opera rilevatori, esperti di diagnostica e conservazione dei materiali lapidei e di modellazione 3D, in un integrato processo di analisi e di restituzione documentale
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
