Humor in the Spanish translation of Il gioco delle tre carte by Marco Malvaldi
No full textObiettivo di questo contributo è l’analisi della trasposizione dell’effetto umoristico nella traduzione in spagnolo de Il gioco delle tre carte (2008) di Marco Malvaldi. L’articolo è strutturato in tre parti: nella prima si delinea la cornice teorica che fornisce i criteri di analisi per la traduzione dell’umorismo, nella seconda vengono evidenziate le tipologie di umorismo che caratterizzano i testi di Malvaldi e nella terza si osservano le tecniche traduttive utilizzate per mantenere l’effetto umoristico del testo originale. The aim of this paper is to observe how the humorous effect has been translated in the Spanish version of the novel Il gioco delle tre carte (2008) by Marco Malvaldi. The article is organised in three parts: in the first one, the theoretical framework for the translation of humour is outlined, in the second one the types of humour that characterize Malvaldi’s texts are illustrated and in the third one the translation techniques used to maintain the humorous effect of the original text are analysed

Alkoxysilane functional acrylic latexes: influence of copolymer composition on self-curing behavior and film properties
No full textReactive latexes based on acrylic polymers with trimethoxysilyl groups in the side chain were prepared by semi-continuous emulsion copolymerization. The properties of the latex film related to the polymer network structure and their evolution upon thermal curing were studied as a function of the content of the reactive comonomer, trimethoxysilylpropyl methacrylate (TSPMA), ranging between 8 and 25 wt-%. In particular, the sensitivity to both organic solvent (chloroform) and water and the thermomechanical properties were investigated by swelling experiments and dynamic-mechanical analysis (DMA). The results are interpreted in terms of a transition from uniform to microheterogeneous crosslinking regime, possibly as the result of formation of polyorganosilsesquioxane-like (POSS) crosslinking domains at higher TSPMA content
Aqueous Dispersions of Nanostructured Particles Hybridized with Mono- and Multifunctional POSS Methacrylates: Heterophase Polymerization and Material Properties of the Resulting Latex Films
Full text linkThe synthesis of aqueous dispersions of hybrid acrylic copolymer particles containing either a monofunctional or a
multifunctional oligomeric silsesquioxane as a comonomer has been performed by heterophase free radical
polymerization. The miniemulsion process allowed to produce stable latexes, as opposed to the less controlled emulsion route. The thermal, mechanical and surface properties of the nanocomposite latex films have been investigated
Dynamics of an amorphous polymer by an improved NMR approach based on the simultaneous analysis of H-1 and C-13 relaxation times
No full textIn this work the first experimental observation of a peculiar behavior in the isotropic phase of liquid crystals by means of 2H NMR is reported. In particular, two five-ring banana-shaped mesogens, the 1,3-phenylenebis- {4,4′-(11-undecenyloxy)benzoyloxy}benzoate (Pbis11BB) and its 4-chloro homologue (ClPbis11BB), selectively deuterium labeled on their central rings, are the subject of our investigation. The dynamic behavior of the two liquid crystals was studied in their isotropic phases and in the nematic phase of ClPbis11BB by means of 2H NMR line width and spin-spin relaxation time (T2) analysis. The results obtained reveal that the unusual line broadening observed in the 2H NMR spectra in the isotropic phase, even far above the isotropic phase-mesophase transition, has a homogeneous nature, thus indicating the presence of reorientational motions much slower than in conventional isotropic liquid-crystalline phases
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
