A heuristic approach to author name disambiguation in bibliometrics databases for large-scale research assessments
No full textNational exercises for the evaluation of research activity by universities are becoming regular practice in ever more countries. These exercises have mainly been conducted through the application of peer-review methods. Bibliometrics has not been able to offer a valid large-scale alternative because of almost overwhelming difficulties in identifying the true author of each publication.We will address this problem by presenting a heuristic approach to author name disambiguation in bibliometric datasets for large-scale research assessments. The application proposed concerns the Italian university system, comprising 80 universities and a research staff of over 60,000 scientists. The key advantage of the proposed approach is the ease of implementation. The algorithms are of practical application and have considerably better scalability and expandability properties than state-of-the-art unsupervised approaches. Moreover, the performance in terms of precision and recall, which can be further improved, seems thoroughly adequate for the typical needs of large-scale bibliometric research assessments

Finite formulation of nonlinear magnetostatics with integral boundary conditions
No full textThis paper describes two hybrid methods coupling finite formulation of electromagnetic fields (FFEF) in a bounded domain to integral boundary conditions taking into account far field conditions. The two hybrid techniques use different boundary conditions: the first formulation is based on Green's function applied to magnetization source inside bounded domain while the other one is based on a boundary-element method on its external surface. Details about the coupling terms are given and handling of different magnetization sources is described, including the fictitious magnetization sources coming from nonlinear solutions. The proposed methods are validated versus different benchmark cases. Comparisons between the two techniques have been performed using different criteria (accuracy and convergence, memory requirements, etc.
Superiumentarius (Suet. Claud. 2,2). L’imperatore Claudio autore di epigrammi?
No full textAccording to Suet., Claud. 2, 2 in a "libellus" Claudius complained about his master who had been a "superiumentarius". This ironic hyperbole, which refers to the brutal use of whip, seems an allusion to Horace's "plagosus Orbilius", and so suggests the possibility that Claudius'words were part of an epigram. Starting from some recognizable jambic sequences, the author of this article attempts to reconstruct it
