Analisi di criticità delle macchine di un impianto petrolchimico
No full textLe politiche manutentive degli impianti petrolchimici
sono determinate oltre che dall’esigenza della produtività
da quelle della sicurezza e del rispetto dell’ambiente.
Nel seguito si riporta un caso concreto teso ad
affrontare tali problematiche.
Al giorno d’oggi in tutti i settori industriali si può facilmente
riscontrare come le aziende siano continuamente
impegnate nella ricerca di una sempre maggiore
efficienza tecnico-economica. Tale mentalità riguarda
anche la moderna Manutenzione che si adopera, in
collaborazione con le altre funzioni aziendali per garantire
che l’esercizio degli impianti si svolga con regolarità,
efficienza e affidabilità, sempre nel pieno rispetto
della sicurezza, delle norme di protezione dell’ambiente
e della salute dei lavoratori. A seguito dell’enorme
complessità, sia di tipo tecnico che legislativo,
le aziende, soprattutto quelle di maggiori dimensioni,
hanno necessariamente dovuto dotarsi di una vera
e propria struttura interna che si occupi di Ingegneria
di Manutenzione
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
L’analisi grafica dei documenti d’archivio quale strumento per “leggere e conoscere” il progetto della fortificazione alla moderna
No full textFrom the second half of the fifteenth century the fortification ”alla moderna” marks the passage from the medieval defensive system to the protection of the city being entrusted to the pentagonal bastions. In this period drawing acquires importance where the project lines simulate the trajectories of the bullets and the cross-fire of the bastions and the geometric matrices change the medieval shape of the cities. There are numerous writings with the aim of showing and explaining technical choices, rigorous models and plastic design solutions. A design approach, that allows a mutual coverage of the bastion, which requires a few lines, designed to show the existing works and the new defensive line. The scientific discipline of “drawing” actively participates in the study of these “war machines” and provides its contribution with the architectural survey and the representation of digital models of realized works or only designed solutions; the scientific sector also supports the historical - archaeological research, guides towards the identification of metric scales adopted in the construction sites. Alghero, Spanish fortress of Sardinia, shows the application of this line of research, thanks to the archival documents that describe the events that have characterized the construction phases of the fortress in the second half of the sixteenth century
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
