A complicated relationship between art and politics in Nazi Germany: the Emil Nolde case.
No full textopenDal 12 aprile 2019 al 15 settembre 2019 si è tenuta a Berlino una mostra su Emil Nolde, artista tedesco vissuto a cavallo tra Otto e Novecento.
Durante l'esposizione sono state rivelate la sua adesione al Partito Nazionalsocialista Tedesco dei Lavoratori e le sue idee antisemite.
Ciò ha creato grande scalpore nella società tedesca odierna, arrivando fino alla cancelliera Angela Merkel, la quale ha fatto rimuovere dal suo ufficio due quadri dell'artista.
Alla luce delle rivelazioni è stato riaperto il dibattito sull'artista della Germania del Nord, concernente la fede politica, l'arte e le ideologie
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe 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
Moving load on elastic structures: Passage through the wave speed barriers
No full textThis thesis was submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy and awarded by Brunel University.The asymptotic behaviour of an elastically supported infinite string and an elastic
isotropic half plane (in frames of specific asymptotic model) under a moving point
load are studied. The main results of this work are uniform asymptotic formulae
and the asymptotic profile for the string and the exact solution and uniform
asymptotic formulae for a half plane. The crucial assumption for both structures
is that the acceleration is sufficiently small.
In order to describe asymptotically the oscillations of an infinite string auxiliary
canonical functions are introduced, asymptotically analyzed and tabulated. Using these functions uniform asymptotic formulae for the string under constant
accelerating and decelerating point loads are obtained. Approximate formulae
for the displacement in the vicinity of the point load and the singularity area behind the shock wave using the steady speed asymptotic expansion with additional
contributions from stationary points where appropriate are derived. It is shown
how to generalise uniform asymptotic results to the arbitrary acceleration case.
As an example these results are applied for the case of sinusoidal load speed. It
is shown that the canonical functions can successfully be used in the arbitrary
acceleration case as well. The graphical comparative analysis of numerical solu-
tion and approximations is provided for different moving load speed intervals and
values of the parameters.
Vibrations of an elastic half plane are studied within the framework of the asymp-
totic model suggested by J. Kaplunov et al. in 2006. Boundary conditions for the
main problem are obtained as a solution for the problem of a string on the surface
of a half plane subject to uniformly accelerated moving load. The exact solution
over the interior of the half plane is derived with respect to boundary conditions.
Steady speed and Rayleigh wave speed asymptotic expansions are obtained. In
the neighborhood of the Rayleigh speed the uniform asymptotic formulae are
derived. Some of their interesting properties are discovered and briefly studied.
The graphical comparative analysis of the exact solution and approximations is
provided for different moving load speed intervals and values of the parameters.Studentship from Brunel Universit
Author, publisher and bookseller : a tripartite synergy in Nigerian book industry
No full textThis work is about the roles of Author, Publisher and Bookseller in Book development in
Nigeria. The paper started by delving into the history of Book Publishing in Nigeria after
which it proceeded by defining who an author, a publisher, and a bookseller is and
expatiated on the indispensable roles of these key actors in Nigerian Book Industry and in
the emerging Information Society. Furthermore, the various constraints to book
development were identified while the paper advised on how the Book Industry can be
further promoted in Nigeria. However, the paper concluded and made recommendations
on how the Book sector can help in enhancing scholarship in the country
Explicit asymptotic modelling of transient Love waves propagated along a thin coating
No full textThe official published version can be obtained from the link below.An explicit asymptotic model for transient Love waves is derived from the exact equations of anti-plane elasticity. The perturbation procedure relies upon the slow decay of low-frequency Love waves to approximate the displacement field in the substrate by a power series in the depth coordinate. When appropriate decay conditions are imposed on the series, one obtains a model equation governing the displacement at the interface between the coating and the substrate. Unusually, the model equation contains a term with a pseudo-differential operator. This result is confirmed and interpreted by analysing the exact solution obtained by integral transforms. The performance of the derived model is illustrated by numerical examples.This work is sponsored by the grant from Higher Education of Pakistan and by the Brunel University’s “BRIEF” research award
On electrical load tracking scheduling for a steel plant
No full textNolde and Morari (2010) study a steel manufacturing scheduling problem where the tasks must be scheduled such
that electricity consumption matches to a pre-specified periodic energy chart. They propose a continuous time integer
linear programming formulation to solve the problem. In this note, we present an alternative continuous time
formulation, focused on the relative positions of tasks and time periods, that improves significantly the computation
