Il “Piano B” degli artisti. Casi studio da MoRE, Museum of refused and unrealised art projects
In the pile of stones “rejected by the builders” lie a huge amount of high-quality artistic projects that were not realized. Pieces of a history of art that has not been written yet in its complexity, these projects are kept in the private archives of artists. More (Museum of refused and unrealized art projects) is a digital museum originated from an idea of Elisabetta Modena and Marco Scotti that collects, preserves and displays online unrealized art projects of the XX and XXI century (www.moremuseum.org). MoRE is produced by Others cultural association and it is part of: CAPAS - Centro per le Attività e le Professioni delle Arti e dello Spettacolo, Università degli Studi di Parma. Among the numerous projects collected stand out a series of (non) works that have found development in other and different artworks for various kinds of reasons. This article proposes an analysis of some case studies stored in the digital museum that are examples of how the role of the commissioner of an artwork and its production context are still often and wrongly underestimated. Analyzing first the documentation of the project that are kept online and, where possible, verifying the project itself directly with the artists, these cases will highlight as in numerous occasions artists have switched to a "plan b", proposing and carrying out artworks often as significant, but in some cases substantially different from those first proposed, or how the initial obstacles have been a stimulus for further and different reflections. The selected projects (plan a) and then realized in a different way (plan B) are works of Jeremy Deller, Regina Josè Galindo; Eva Marisaldi, Liliana Moro, Giovanni Ozzola and Cesare Pietroiusti.Nel mucchio delle pietre “scartate dai costruttori” giacciono una enorme quantità di progetti artistici di grande qualità che non sono stati realizzati. Tasselli di una storia dell’arte che non è ancora stata scritta nella sua complessità, questi progetti sono conservati negli archivi privati degli artisti. MoRE (Museum of refused and unrealised art projects) è un museo digitale nato da un’idea di Elisabetta Modena e Marco Scotti che raccoglie, conserva ed espone on-line progetti non realizzati di artisti del XX e XXI secolo (www.moremuseum.org). MoRE è prodotto dall’associazione culturale Others che ha aderito a CAPAS - Centro per le Attività e le Professioni delle Arti e dello Spettacolo, Università degli Studi di Parma. Tra i numerosi progetti conservati spiccano una serie di (non) opere che hanno trovato sviluppo in altre e diverse realizzazioni per motivi di varia natura. Questo articolo propone l’analisi di alcuni casi studio conservati nel “museo” digitale, esemplificativi di come il ruolo della committenza di un’opera e il suo contesto di produzione siano ancora spesso, a torto, sottovalutati. Partendo dalla documentazione di progetto conservata online e, ove possibile, dalla verifica diretta con gli artisti, i casi esaminati evidenzieranno come in numerose occasioni gli artisti siano passati a un “piano b”, proponendo e realizzando opere spesso altrettanto significative, ma in alcuni casi sostanzialmente diverse da quelle immaginate come prima proposta, o ancora come gli ostacoli iniziali siano stati stimoli per ulteriori e diverse riflessioni. I progetti (piano a) indagati e poi realizzati in altro modo (piano b) sono opere di: Jeremy Deller, Regina Josè Galindo; Eva Marisaldi, Liliana Moro, Giovanni Ozzola e Cesare Pietroiusti
Risultati preliminari sul nuovo rostro di ittiosauro trovato a Gombola (MO)
Un frammento di rostro di ittiosauro (251372) è stato recentemente rinvenuto nei calanchi presso Gombola (MO) e consegnato al Museo Civico “Augusta Redorici Rof ” di Vignola (MO). Frammenti rostrali simili (IPUM 30139 e IPUM 30140) e un frammento di omero (IPUM 30141) provenienti dal medesimo luogo si trovano nelle Collezioni di Paleontologia dell’Università di Modena e Reggio Emilia. In questo articolo, viene descritto l’esemplare 251372 che, sottoposto a tomogra a assiale computerizzata (TAC) e ad un accurato restauro, è stato oggetto di uno studio tassonomico e con- frontato con IPUM 30139. La morfologia delle radici dentarie consente di ascrivere entrambi alla sottofamiglia Platypterygiinae. Alcune caratteristiche tafonomiche suggeriscono che i due reperti potessero appartenere al medesimo esemplare. Sulla matrice del reperto 251372 è stata tentata la da- tazione sia per mezzo dei microfossili, sia per mezzo dei nannofossili calcarei. Purtroppo entrambi i metodi non hanno prodotto alcun risultato signi cativo. L’esemplare 251372 può essere quindi datato genericamente al Cretaceo Inferiore-Cenomaniano (145-94 milioni di anni fa).Preliminary results on the new ichthyosaur rostrum found in Gombola (Italy). An ichthyosaur rostrum (251372) was recently found in the badlands near Gombola (Modena Apennines, Italy) and is exhibited at the Civic Museum “Augusta Redorici Rof ” in Vignola (Modena province). Similar rostral fragments (IPUM 30139 and IPUM 30140) and a humerus fragment (IPUM 30141) from the same place are stored in the Palaeontological Collections of Modena and Reggio Emilia University. Specimen 251372, examined by CT scan and subsequently restored, is described and compared with IPUM 30139. The morphology of the dental root showed that both specimens could be ascribed to the Platypterygiinae subfamily. Some taphonomical features suggest that the two fragments could belong to the same specimen. The matrix of 251372 was examined to search for microfossils and calcareous nannofossils useful for precise dating. Unfortunately, no signi cant results came out of this survey. Therefore, specimen 251372 can be loosely dated to the Lower Cretaceous-Cenomanian (145-94 My)

Branching fraction and CP asymmetry of the decays B+→K0Sπ+ and B+→K0SK+
An analysis of B+ → K0

s = 8 TeV, respectively. The ratio of branching fractions and the
direct CP asymmetries are measured to be B(B+ → K0

Measurement of the ratio of branching fractions B(B0→K∗0γ )/B(B0s→φγ ) and the directCP asymmetry inB 0→K∗0γ
The ratio of branching fractions of the radiative B decays B0→K⁎0γ and B0s→ϕγ has been measured using an integrated luminosity of 1.0 fb−1 of pp collision data collected by the LHCb experiment at a centre-of-mass energy of s√=7TeV. The value obtained is
B(B0→K⁎0γ)B(B0s→ϕγ)=1.23±0.06(stat.)±0.04(syst.)±0.10(fs/fd),
where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second is the experimental systematic uncertainty and the third is associated with the ratio of fragmentation fractions fs/fd. Using the world average value for B(B0→K⁎0γ), the branching fraction B(B0s→ϕγ) is measured to be (3.5±0.4)×10−5.
The direct CP asymmetry in B0→K⁎0γ decays has also been measured with the same data and found to be
ACP(B0→K⁎0γ)=(0.8±1.7(stat.)±0.9(syst.))%.
Both measurements are the most precise to date and are in agreement with the previous experimental results and theoretical expectations
Measurement of the CKM angle gamma from a combination of B->Dh analyses
A combination of three LHCb measurements of the CKM angle gamma is presented. The decays B->DK and B->Dpi are used, where D denotes an admixture of D0 and D0-bar mesons, decaying into K+K-, pi+pi-, K+-pi-+, K+-pi-+pi+-pi-+, KSpi+pi-, or KSK+K- final states. All measurements use a dataset corresponding to 1.0 fb-1 of integrated luminosity. Combining results from B->DK decays alone a best-fit value of gamma = 72.0 deg is found, and confidence intervals are set gamma in [56.4,86.7] deg at 68% CL, gamma in [42.6,99.6] deg at 95% CL. The best-fit value of gamma found from a combination of results from B->Dpi decays alone, is gamma = 18.9 deg, and the confidence intervals gamma in [7.4,99.2] deg or [167.9,176.4] deg at 68% CL, are set, without constraint at 95% CL. The combination of results from B->DK and B->Dpi decays gives a best-fit value of gamma = 72.6 deg and the confidence intervals gamma in [55.4,82.3] deg at 68% CL, gamma in [40.2,92.7] deg at 95% CL are set. All values are expressed modulo 180 deg, and are obtained taking into account the effect of D0-D0bar mixing

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
