    Ansia, fobie e attacchi di panico

    No full text
    Il capitolo descrive le sindromi cliniche che il DSM-IV TR raggruppa sotto l’etichetta di Disturbi d’Ansia e i criteri diagnostici dei vari disturbi proposti da questo manuale. Vengono quindi illustrati i principali modelli dinamici tesi a spiegare il fenomeno dell’angoscia e la patogenesi dei vari disturbi d’ansia, soffermandosi in modo particolare su quelli di derivazione freudiana e kleiniana

    Localizability in κ -Minkowski spacetime

    No full text
    Using the methods of ordinary quantum mechanics, we study κ-Minkowski space as a quantum space described by noncommuting self-adjoint operators, following and enlarging T. Poulain and J.-C. Wallet, "κ-Poincaré invariant orientable field theories with at 1-loop: Scale-invariant couplings, preprint (2018), arXiv:1808.00350 [hep-th]. We see how the role of Fourier transforms is played in this case by Mellin transforms. We briefly discuss the role of transformations and observers

    The momentum spaces of κ-Minkowski noncommutative spacetime

    No full text
    A useful concept in the development of physical models on the κ-Minkowski noncommutative spacetime is that of a curved momentum space. This structure is not unique: several inequivalent momentum space geometries have been identified. Some are associated to a different assumption regarding the signature of spacetime (i.e. Lorentzian vs. Euclidean), but there are inequivalent momentum spaces that can be associated to the same signature and even the same group of symmetries. Moreover, in the literature there are two approaches to the definition of these momentum spaces, one based on the right- (or left-)invariant metrics on the Lie group generated by the κ-Minkowski algebra. The other is based on the construction of 5-dimensional matrix representation of the κ-Minkowski coordinate algebra. Neither approach leads to a unique construction. Here, we find the relation between these two approaches and introduce a unified approach, capable of describing all momentum spaces, and identify the corresponding quantum group of spacetime symmetries. We reproduce known results and get a few new ones. In particular, we describe the three momentum spaces associated to the κ-Poincaré group, which are half of a de Sitter, anti-de Sitter or Minkowski space, and we identify what distinguishes them. Moreover, we find a new momentum space with the geometry of a light cone, associated to a κ-deformation of the Carroll group

    Structural similitudes of stiffened cylinders

    No full text
    Similarity theory is a branch of engineering science that deals with establishing conditions of similarity among phenomena and is applied to various fields, such as structural engineering problems, vibration and impact. Tests and numerical simulation of scaled models are still a valuable design tool, whose purpose is to accurately predict the behaviour of large or small prototypes through scaling laws applied to the experimental and numerical results. The aim of this paper is to predict the behaviour of the complete and incomplete similarity of stiffened cylinders by applying distorted scaling laws of the models in similitude. The investigation is performed using models based on the finite element method within commercial software. Two classes of cylinders scaled, with different laws, and, hence, reproducing replicas (exact similitude) and avatars (distorted similitude) are investigated

    The Weyl-Mellin quantization map

    No full text
    In this paper, we present a quantization of the functions of spacetime, i.e. a map, analog to Weyl map, which reproduces the κ-Minkowski commutation relations, and it has the desirable properties of mapping square integrable functions into Hilbert-Schmidt operators, as well as real functions into symmetric operators. The map is based on Mellin transform on radial and time coordinates. The map also defines a deformed - product which we discuss with examples

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    Full text link
    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
