Roadmap per la realizzazione di caserme “smart” in uso all’Arma dei Carabinieri, quale punti di resilienza delle Smart City, sviluppo sostenibile al servizio delle P.A. e del cittadino. Il Caso della Caserma “T. Porcelli” di Bari
Get PDFL'attività di dottorato discussa in questo documento si è svolta tra il 2019 e il 2022 e, nonostante il periodo della pandemia, purtroppo disagevole dal punto di vista di spostamenti e difficoltà di accesso al materiale archivistico e bibliografico, ha beneficiato nella fase finale della possibilità di partecipare a diversi tavoli permanenti delle forze armate italiane guidati da un obiettivo comune, condiviso sia a livello europeo che internazionale: la lotta al cambiamento climatico. La neutralità climatica entro il 2050 rappresenta un obiettivo ambizioso che mira a ridurre al minimo le emissioni di gas serra per bilanciare l'impatto delle attività umane sul clima. Questo obiettivo richiede una trasformazione profonda dei settori energetici, industriali, agricoli e dei trasporti, nonché una riconfigurazione dei modelli di consumo e produzione, ma anche un ripensamento dei modelli insediativi esistenti. Negli ultimi anni, la governance, l'industria e la ricerca hanno giocato un ruolo importante nell'accelerare la transizione verde e la concettualizzazione delle smart city e dei loro domini emergenti. Per raggiungere la neutralità climatica, sono necessarie però azioni concrete per ridurre le emissioni di gas serra. Ciò implica l'adozione di politiche e misure che promuovono l'energia pulita e rinnovabile, l'efficienza energetica e la transizione verso processi produttivi più sostenibili. Questa tesi, nel contesto dell'aumento della competitività delle città italiane, si pone come obiettivo quello di approfondire le relazioni tra un distretto militare, i suoi edifici e il quartiere della città in cui si trova proponendo, sulla base di un progetto pilota, delle linee guida per la realizzazione di uno “smart military district”.The doctoral activity discussed in this paper took place between 2019 and 2022 and, despite the pandemic period, unfortunately inconvenient from the point of view of travel and difficulties in accessing archival and bibliographic material, benefited in the final phase from the opportunity to participate in several permanent tables of the Italian armed forces guided by a common goal, shared both at the European and international level: the fight against climate change. Climate neutrality by 2050 represents an ambitious goal to minimize greenhouse gas emissions to balance the impact of human activities on the climate. This goal requires a profound transformation of the energy, industrial, agricultural, and transportation sectors, a reconfiguration of consumption and production patterns, and a rethinking of existing settlement patterns. In recent years, governance, industry, and research have played an essential role in accelerating the green transition and conceptualizing smart cities and their emerging domains. However, concrete actions are needed to achieve climate neutrality to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This implies adopting policies and measures that promote clean and renewable energy, energy efficiency, and the transition to more sustainable production processes. This thesis, in the context of increasing the competitiveness of Italian cities, aims to investigate the relationship between a military district, its buildings, and the city neighborhood in which it is located by proposing, based on a pilot project, guidelines for the implementation of a "smart military district.
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
Prototyping a digital twin. A case study of a "U-shaped" military building
Get PDFThe aim of the article is to cover part of the issues related to develop a process aimed at defining some essential step to correctly plan a ‘smart district’ that could dispatch energy produced in excess to the
district’s other buildings. The first step has been to search for a type of building with very similar characteristics, such as geometry, zones, with the obvious variant of the geographic localization and
thermal behaviour, on the other hand, a certain computational approach has to be set, in order to achieve a further replicable and scalable approach to a small-scale urban building energy modelling (UBEM).
Focusing on various characteristics, a standard ‘U-shaped’ building, belonging to a ‘military district’ in a southern city of Italy (Bari), has been chosen as a case study. In order to obtain energy informa-
tion, the authors have started investigating first the basic components of the building through measures, thermal imaging, heat flux sensor, borescope, secondly a BIM model has been set and then enhanced to a Building Energy Model (BEM) trying to replicate the energy behaviour of the case study as close as possible. Although many technological innovations are emerging, the ‘BIM to BEM process’ and the ‘BEM analysis process’ itself still depends on too many variables and results on several experiments conducted showed a variation of up 26%, that probably could be improved only by a rigorous/hybrid workflow through a digital twin
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
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
