Notes on the reconstruction of Skopje after the earthquake of the 26th July 1963
No full textIl saggio ripercorre la storia della ricostruzione di Skopje dopo il terremoto del 26 luglio 1963 attraverso la figura di Ernest Weissmann, architetto di origini croate e allievo di Le Corbusier che in quel periodo lavorava presso le Nazioni Unite. L'obiettivo è quello di rivalutare i risultati della ricostruzione post-sismica, considerandola non come un fallimento ma come un progetto di modernizzazione incompiuto
Interlaboratory Comparison of Forming Limit Curves for Hot Stamping of High Strength Steels
No full textThe paper presents the approaches followed by two labs - LFT at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg (Germany) and DIMEG at University of Padua (Italy) - in evaluating formability limits of 22MnB5 sheets when processed under hot stamping conditions. Details about the two testing apparatuses and the testing procedures are outlined, and the results in terms of Forming Limit Curves FLC compared and critically commented
Interlaboratory comparison for heat transfer coefficient identification in hot stamping of high strength steels.
No full textThe topic of the paper is the identification of the heat transfer coefficient (HTC) in hot stamping of boron steel sheets under conditions very close to the industrial ones. Two approaches followed by one lab in Germany and one lab in Italy are presented for HTC identification, showing the two experimental apparatuses that were set-up to conduct the tests, the procedures developed and applied to identify the HTC. The obtained results are compared in terms of dependence of HTC from the applied contact pressure, the similarities and the differences of the two approaches are outlined and commented
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
Get PDFWe 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
Towards new strategies for the communication of Macedonia's cultural capital abroad
No full textIl progetto a breve termine intitolato “Verso nuove strategie per la comunicazione del patrimonio culturale della Macedonia” è stato finanziato dalla Gesellschaft für Technische Zusammenarbeit (GTZ) e attuato congiuntamente dalle ONG Coalition for Sustainable Development (KOR) e KulturwerkStadt Südost (KWS-SO). Il progetto mirava ad avviare una riflessione collettiva sulle possibili modalità di promozione del patrimonio culturale macedone all’estero, coinvolgendo i principali attori del settore turistico. Il progetto si è concluso con un convegno, aperto al grande pubblico e svoltosi a Skopje il 31 ottobre 2009, e con la pubblicazione, nel 2010, della prima guida architettonica della città di Skopje
