A reduced clock swing domino gate in SOI
No full textThe authors have introduced a domino gate that operates at a reduced clock swing. Using a DTMOS, the performance degradation is minimal while the total power consumption is greatly reduced since the clock tree has a halved voltage swing. Due to the squared relationship between voltage and power, 75% saving can be obtained on a clock whose contribution can be up to 50% of the overall power consumption. The use of active body-biasing circuits yields an order of magnitude reduction of the gate leakage power dissipation

Ergonomia e salute nei Servizi per l’Infanzia: i disturbi muscolo scheletrici
No full textQuesto studio è stato condotto per approfondire i disturbi muscolo-scheletrici (MSD) nei lavoratori dei Servizi per l’Infanzia. Sono stati raccolti ed analizzati dati tra 1/2012-12/2015 relativi a: valutazione dei rischi (VdR) da movimentazione manuale carichi (MMC), relazioni di sopralluogo, infortuni lavorativi, fattori di rischio individuali e MSD. Le strutture valutate comprendevano 11 asili nido e 22 scuole per l’infanzia; i sopralluoghi hanno evidenziato nel 91% carenze strutturali maggiori, seguite da carenze strutturali minori e problematiche risolvibili con interventi di carattere organizzativo. La VdR ha evidenziato la presenza di un rischio medio-elevato per le attività di MMC contenibile con interventi prevalentemente di carattere organizzativo e formazione specifica. Dall’analisi degli infortuni risulta un prevalente interessamento dell’apparato muscoloscheletrico. Dai dati di sorveglianza sanitaria emerge che il 58% degli ausiliari e il 20% del personale educativo erano idonei con limitazioni/prescrizioni per la MMC; inoltre circa l’4% del personale educativo e il 22% degli ausiliari è risultato non idoneo per MSD multidistrettuali. I dati dello studio confermano la rilevanza delle MSD nei lavoratori dei servizi per l’infanzia. L’approccio multidisciplinare e la condivisione dei risultati ha consentito di individuare soluzioni mirate; è auspicabile la realizzazione di studi di qualità che consentano di mettere a punto nuove strategie di intervento in questo contesto
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
