    Le acrobate. Movimenti dell'esistere

    No full text
    Il saggio analizza momenti significativi su piano espressivo del film Le acrobate di Silvio Soldini che mostra, in maniera manifesta, come l’inatteso incrocio tra singole vite attivi uno stretto rapporto tra personaggi femminili e in qual modo l’intima corrispondenza venutasi a creare sia anche generata, in una sorta di prolungamento metaforico, da spazi, paesaggi e cose. La trama narrativa delle singole vite, accomunate da una sotterranea percezione di mancanza, di assenza di desiderio, nel contatto con paesaggi e cose si colora di sfumature differenti. Toccate, colpite dalla prossimità con manufatti da cui sembra emanare un diverso respiro, le protagoniste, nella ricerca di un senso più vivo del loro esistere, accolgono un ascolto maggiormente recettivo, cogliendo in essi una forza allusiva. L’analisi dei paesaggi e degli spazi urbani, della funzione espressiva delle cose e della scrittura, investe buona parte dello studio sul film, mettendo in luce simmetrie e ripetute onde di risonanza tra personaggi femminili

    One-loop weak corrections to three-jet observables at the Z pole

    We briefly illustrate the impact of the genuinely weak one-loop virtual terms of the O (αS αEW3) factorisable corrections to the three-jet cross section at √s = MZ. Their importance for the measurement of αS at GigaZ luminosities is emphasised

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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 link
    We 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

    One-loop weak corrections to the bb̄ cross section at TeV energy hadron colliders

    Full text link
    We investigate one-loop weak corrections to the production cross section of two b-jets at Tevatron and Large Hadron Collider (LHC). We establish that they are small at inclusive level but dominant in exclusive observables that have a non-trivial dependence on the helicity structure of the hard subprocesses. Such effects can serve as a test of the Standard Model (SM) and, conversely, they should be taken into account in future experimental analyses aiming at extracting possible signals of new physics
