No full textSetting of the restoration project for durability
No full textThis research intends to analyse the interventions of restoration (of both traditional or innovative techniques, and of natural and synthetic materials), aimed at predicting the durability of useful life and acceptable state of the components and buildings in conventional, normal conditions. Technological integration must be verified on different levels of comparison and appropriateness of choices, with innovation that respects the "ancient" plant and construction systems, and re-assesses and exploits the natural resources; water, air, light and space, in accordance with the building traditions of the Mediterranean basin (die "Sassi of Matera"). The aim is to establish an implementable methodology for durability of the interventions, based on a quality approach for the various phases of the building restoration process, and implement an interdisciplinary project between tradition and innovation, defined by the needs of the building structure
Ipotesi di recupero della Dogana al ponte della Maddalena.
Full text linkThe gol that the authors have set themselves, through the recovery of the Dogana at Ponte della Maddalena, a historical building in total abandonment, is to create a structure that, together with other buildings already present in the Neapolitan territory, from a "welcome network and hospitality" for the many tourist who arrive in Naples
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
