Full text linkIvo Adriaenssens Het domein Roosendael in Sint-Katelijne-Waver. [The Roosendael domain, Sint-Katelijne-Waver.]Wat eraan voorafging is klassiek: een riante cisterciënzerinnenabdij in Sint-Katelijne-Waver, plundering en sloop tijdens de godsdienstoorlogen, heropbouw en nabloei, opheffing en ontmanteling tijdens het Franse -bewind. Een weelderige, kalkminnende stinsenflora getuigt tot op vandaag van de verdwenen stenen huizen, al heeft Roosendael zijn huidig uitzicht grotendeels te danken aan de lusttuin van Emilie de Meulenaer en het latere landschapspark. Heden een centrum voor jeugdverblijf, worden de initiatieven tot duurzaam en integraal beheer van het domein geconfronteerd met een niet onaardig kluwen van decreten: Ruimtelijke Ordening, Natuurbehoud, Monumenten- en Landschapszorg, Bossen, Openluchtrecreatie, Toerisme, Jeugdwerk, Milieu en VLAREM hebben er elk hun zeg.Een spinnenweb dat Ivo Adriaenssens onverstoorbaar ontrafelt.Dirk Fredricx De bouw van twee tunnels onder de Schelde te Antwerpen. [The construction of two tunnels under the Schelde, Antwerp.]In tegenstelling tot de rechter Scheldeoever, waar de geslechte Spaanse vesten in Antwerpen halverwege de 19de eeuw een forse stadsexpansie genereren, blijft de ontsluiting van de natte weilanden op Linkeroever voor utopische plannenmakers nog decennia lang een brug te ver. Pas in 1929, gesterkt door het succes van de gloednieuwe New Yorkse Holland Tunnel, ligt met de oprichting van de Intercommunale Maatschappij van de Linker Scheldeoever en de toewijzing van de werken, in 1930, aan de Compagnie Internationale des Pieux armés Frankignoul, de bouw van een dubbele tunnel onder de Schelde binnen handbereik. Het technisch wonder blijkt ruim 70 jaar na de inhuldiging nog maar weinig aan doeltreffendheid, laat staan aan charme te hebben ingeboet, al raakte het constructief concept tegen de -verwachtingen in reeds in de jaren 50 achterhaald.Het relaas door Dirk Fredricx van een blind date met happy end.Luc Verpoest en Inge Bertels Een hedendaagse paradox... Woning en privé-museum Urvater (1959-1960) André Jacqmain, architect. [The Urvater house and Art Gallery, 1959-1960 André Jacqmain, architect.]Architectuurcritici spaarden hun lovende bewoordingen niet, verloren zichzelf voorwaar in gevleugelde superlatieven, geconfronteerd met zoveel onnoemelijk moois. Het brutalistisch, anachronistisch labyrint dat architect André Jacqmain in de nadagen van Expo 58 voor de kunstverzameling van Bertie en Gigi Urvater als een voldongen meesterwerk inschreef in de glooiingen van Sint-Genesius-Rode, bleek een adembenemend vuurwerk.Behielden de woning en omgevende tuin in de huidige onderkomen staat hun originele grandeur,of verwerden ze tot une architecture quasi banale?Een dilemma waar Luc Verpoest en Inge Bertels ondubbelzinnig op antwoorden.Summar

What hides behind the plaster? Hollow-brick and iron vaults in Europe between the eighteenth and the twentieth century
No full textAfter the industrial revolution, a growing production of iron allowed a large scale spread of iron and brick construction. Between the late eighteenth and the early of the twentieth century, Europe experienced a transition from the use of traditional stone and brick masonry construction, to the progressive spread of iron and steel in composite construction with brick and, later, concrete. This phase is characterized by the use of iron and both hollow and solid brick jack arches. The result was often a pure experimentation with new techniques and materials that partly go back to tradition, and partly exploit the newly developed building materials. This paper aims to highlight, through the analysis of different examples, the role of this type of vaulted construction
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
