    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    A new archaeological project started in Palmyra (Syria) in 2007 with the creation of an Italian-Syrian joint mission (PAL.M.A.I.S.), formed by the Università degli Studi of Milan and by the General Directorate of Antiquities and Museums of Damascus. The research concerns an area which has not so far been investigated systematically, the South-West quarter, situated between the Hellenistic city to the South and the Roman Imperial Age quarter to the North. A stratigraphic excavation began in 2008 on the most monumental structure of the South-West quarter, the so-called Peristyle Building, near the southern tract of Diocletian’s Wall. The study of the building techniques, including raw materials, walls typology, architectural elements and their reuse, has been crucial to understand the chronology of the Peristyle Building and its evolution through the centuries, from the Severan age up to the Umayyad period

    Modeling chromatographic chiral separations under nonlinear competitive conditions

    The chromatographic separation of Troger's base enantiomers with ethanol as eluent on microcrystalline triacetate cellulose (CTA) was studied Binary competitive adsorption equilibrium data measured were interpreted using ideal adsorbed solution and real adsorbed solution (RAS) theory. Both models were used to simulate a set of column breakthrough experiments. The competitive behavior of the two enantiomers is quantitatively discussed and the reliability of the two models is assessed The results show that the RAS model can describe with good accuracy the complex competitive adsorption behavior exhibited by the CTA/Troger's base model system. This conclusion is expected to apply to the adsorption of the other enantiomeric mixtures on chiral stationary phases
