Il lavoro dei fan. Il fansubbing come alternativa al doppiaggio ufficiale in The Big Bang Theory
Full text linkRelazione dedicata al ruolo del fansubbing, cioè della sottotitolazione non ufficiale di prodotti spesso inediti fatta dagli stessi spettatori delle serie televisive. La relazione si concentra su alcuni aspetti legati in particolare al ruolo attivo dei fan nella circolazione dei contenuti mediali contemporanei. Inoltre, analizza in dettaglio alcuni aspetti tecnico-linguistici relativi alla traduzione degli audiovisivi, attraverso un caso di studio, la serie televisiva The Big Bang Theory
Upgrading of a wastewater treatment plant with hybrid MBBR
No full textThe wastewater treatment plant of Porto Tolle (RO, Italy) was originally projected for 2200 p.e.;
expected loads were 550 m3/d, 264 kgCOD/d, 132 kgBOD/d and 26 kgN/d. Emission limits were stated
by the Regional Plan for Water Resanation and were: TSS 35 mg/L, COD 125 mg/L, BOD 25
mg/L, NH4
+ 20 mg/L, NO2-N 1 mg/L, NO3-N 30 mg/L, P 10 mg/L. The plant was originally
made of a pumping station, a circular activated sludge oxidation tank (395 m3) aerated by a 1480
Nm3/h blower and fine bubble diffusers, a sedimentation unit in the external circular crown (315
m3), and two drying beds for sludge (fig. 1A). Other units were built but not yet in use in 2008: fine
screen, sand and grit removal, a circular settler (570 m3), a disinfection tank with peracetic acid and
a sludge thickener. According to average data of 2007, the plant treated 1898 m3/d with 35 mg/L
TSS, 75 mg/L COD, 37 mg/L BOD, 19.1 mg/L TKN; hydraulic load was 245% higher, organic
load was 46% lower and nitrogen load was 39% higher than project values. Wastewater was (and
is) very dilute because of infiltrations of rain waters and clean water from the river Po. Even if the
plant respected emission limits, the regional environmental law was near to be modified with more
strict emission limits for nitrogen, the plant had no denitrification, and higher pollutant loads were
expected for following years. So it was decided to modify the plant and to start units not yet in use;
the choice to convert part of existing volume into a hybrid MBBR was justified with the possibility
of reducing activated sludge concentration. So the circular crown was divided into two sections (fig.
1B): a sector of 180 m3 was converted into a predenitrification tank, a sector of 100 m3 was
converted into a hybrid MBBR oxidation tank. This reactor was filled with 50% AnoxKaldnesTM
K3 carriers (tab. 1) and aerated by a new 1000 Nm3/h blower and medium bubbles air diffuser
Indagini geofisiche del sottosuolo della cattedrale metropolitana di san Pietro e della basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore in Bologna
No full textSia la tecnica GPR che la Sismica Passiva si sono rivelate preziose nel fornire una mappa del suolo al disotto
delle chiese di San Pietro e Santa Maria Maggiore, fornendo nuovi elementi oggettivi per ricostruire le loro
vicissitudini architettoniche. In particolare, in San Pietro e’ stato possibile localizzare 1) il pavimento della
antica chiesa romanica, 2) una sepoltura non nota e, davanti ad essa nella via Indipendenza, 3) il pavimento
antico, probabilmente di epoca romana.
Nella navata destra della basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore e’ invece risultata evidente un’inclusione,
probabilmente una sepoltura, nonche’, all’esterno sulla via Galliera, una pavimentazione antica forse
riconducibile all’epoca romana e forse coeva alla prima edificazione della chiesa nel IV-V secolo.
Sono anche apparsi evidenti alcuni limiti delle tecniche. In particolare, il GPR si e’ rivelato praticamente “cieco”
all’interno di Santa Maria Maggiore, molto probabilmente a causa di uno strato solidificato di limi di
esondazione fluviale dell’Aposa, che hanno costituito uno strato di materiale conduttivo che impedisce la
propagazione delle onde elettromagnetiche. Allo stesso tempo, la Sismica Passiva si e’ dimostrata di difficile
interpretazione nel caso di stratificazioni a rigidita’ maggiore sovrastanti strati a rigidita’ minore, il che si
verifica quasi sempre nel caso di pavimentazioni lapidee.

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
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
