Una storia balcanica. Fascismo, comunismo e nazionalismo nella Jugoslavia del Novecento
No full textPartendo dalla considerazione che le grandi ideologie del Novecento hanno convissuto con pesanti e persistenti forme di nazionalismo, i lavori degli storici italiani, sloveni e croati, raccolti in questo volume non intendono concedere nessuno spazio a quelle visioni finalistiche della storia su cui, dopo la violenta dissoluzione della Jugoslavia, sono fiorite letture improntate a interpretare ogni fase della vicenda di quel paese come tappe verso un'inevitabile catastrofe finale e la guerra civile come una sua evoluzione "naturale". Evitando inoltre gli stereotipi legati all'immagine di una regione come "ventre molle dell'Europa", essi intendono restituite complessità a una storia le cui ricostruzioni e interpretazioni appaiono ancora poco fondate sulla nuova documentazione disponibile e. soprattutto, poco aperte al confronto tra gli studiosi dei diversi paesi impegnati su questo terreno. I Balcani come terra di nessuno, storica linea di frattura, luogo crudele e violento, sede di odi ancestrali tra gruppi "etnici", sono il prodotto di una costruzione culturale europea di lungo periodo, sia nella cultura "alta" sia in quella popolare: una visione negativa che è stata potentemente rafforzata dalle guerre degli anni Novanta e che, unita al riemergere nel nostro paese di un razzismo latente nei confronti dello slavo "barbaro" e "incivile", ha prodotto un senso comune insieme consolatorio e di presa di distanza. In realtà, nella storia della Jugoslavia la costruzione politica del discorso nazionalista rappresenta un'opzione tra le altre, e cercare di comprenderla storicamente, senza alcun determinismo è il compito che si pone il volume

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

Simulation of thermal plant optimization and hydraulic aspects of thermal distribution loops for large campuses
No full textFollowing an introduction, the author describes Texas A&M University and its utilities system. After that, the author presents how to construct simulation models for chilled water and heating hot water distribution systems. The simulation model was used in a $2.3 million Ross Street chilled water pipe replacement project at Texas A&M University. A second project conducted at the University of Texas at San Antonio was used as an example to demonstrate how to identify and design an optimal distribution system by using a simulation model. The author found that the minor losses of these closed loop thermal distribution systems are significantly higher than potable water distribution systems. In the second part of the report, the author presents the latest development of software called the Plant Optimization Program, which can simulate cogeneration plant operation, estimate its operation cost and provide optimized operation suggestions. The author also developed detailed simulation models for a gas turbine and heat recovery steam generator and identified significant potential savings. Finally, the author also used a steam turbine as an example to present a multi-regression method on constructing simulation models by using basic statistics and optimization algorithms. This report presents a survey of the author??s working experience at the Energy Systems Laboratory (ESL) at Texas A&M University during the period of January 2002 through March 2004. The purpose of the above work was to allow the author to become familiar with the practice of engineering. The result is that the author knows how to complete a project from start to finish and understands how both technical and nontechnical aspects of a project need to be considered in order to ensure a quality deliverable and bring a project to successful completion. This report concludes that the objectives of the internship were successfully accomplished and that the requirements for the degree of Degree of Engineering have been satisfied
Description of the microflora of sourdoughts by culture-dependent and culture independent methods
No full textFour types of sourdoughs (L, C, B, Q) from artisanal bakeries in Northern Italy were studied using culture-dependent and culture-independent methods. In all samples, the yeast numbers ranged from 160 to 107 cfu/g, and the numbers of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) ranged from 103 to 109 cfu/g. The isolated LAB were sequenced, and a similarity was noted between two samples (C, Q), both in terms of the species that were present and in terms of the percentage of isolates. In these two samples, Lactobacillus plantarum accounted for 73% and 89% of the bacteria, and Lactobacillus brevis represented 27% and 11%. In the third sample (B), however, the dominant LAB isolate was Lb. brevis (73%), while Lb. plantarum accounted for only 27%. The fourth sourdough (L) was completely different from the others. In this sample, the most prominent isolate was Weisella cibaria (56%), followed by Lb. plantarum (36%) and Pediococcus pentosaceus (8%). In three out of four samples (L, C and Q), all of the yeasts isolated were identified as Saccharomyces cerevisiae, yet only Candida humilis (90%) and Candida milleri (10%) were isolated in the fourth sample (B). The microbial ecology of the sourdoughs was also examined with direct methods. The results obtained by culture-independent methods and DGGE analysis underline a partial correspondence between the DNA and RNA analysis. These results demonstrate the importance of using a combined analytical approach to explore the microbial communities of sourdoughs. © 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved
