Creation of a Methodology and a Digital Technological Platform aimed at the Energy Efficiency of the Historical Heritage Building Diffused
No full textThe thesis research intersects the thematic area of energy performance
improvement in historical buildings and the theme of Digital Cultural Heritage,
seeking to combine the growing interdisciplinary focus on energy efficiency
applied to the historical heritage built with innovative digital technologies for
the use of architecture. A simplified model is identified that allows the
estimation of the energy losses of buildings or agglomerated buildings, with the
aim of monitoring current consumption through direct or indirect diagnoses and
quantifying the energy saved through suggested and quantifiable improvement
interventions with a summary cost assessment. intervention. All this flows into
an easy-to-consult platform directed both to property owners, for a quick
estimate of the savings opportunities resulting from the intervention, and to local
administrators to implement effective energy governance and more careful and
aware planning of the territory
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
Programma di sperimentazione relativo al Contratto di Quartiere 2 “Monticelli
No full textIl progetto relativo alla realizzazione di 27 alloggi, da destinare ad edilizia residenziale pubblica, in località Monticelli rientra nell’ambito del programma di sperimentazione del Contratto di Quartiere e si propone come obiettivo la progettazione di edifici ecosostenibili così come approvati dalla delibera regionale n.579 del 23 aprile 2003 e successive integrazioni e modificazioni.
L’intervento prevede l’introduzione di tecnologie edilizie ed impiantistiche legate al controllo ambientale ed alla ecocompatibilità dei materiali in un’ottica complessiva di contenimento dei costi energetici e di eliminazione di sostanze inquinanti. L’interesse principale è rivolto principalmente alla introduzione di sistemi edilizi che concorrono a definire la prestazione complessiva del sistema edificio-impianto e a raggiungere buoni requisiti in termini di prestazioni dei materiali utilizzati, facilità di manutenzione sostitutiva e integrazione degli elementi. In particolare gli aspetti di sperimentazione, a carattere diffusivo, riguardano le problematiche riferite alle aree di valutazione previste nella DGR 1138/200
Nuovo Auditorium nel comune di Ascoli Piceno
No full textIl nuovo Auditorium da destinare ad attività di pubblico spettacolo sorge su un'area libera all'interno del complesso ospedaliero Ex Mazzoni, attualmente non piiù utilizzato per la funzione originaria, ma del quale si prevede la totale riconversione a funzioni di tipo collettivo, con particolare riferimento alla creazione di un Polo Universitario, del quale l'edificio in progetto verrebbe a far parte.
Il progetto prevede la realizzaziine di una sala per circa 400÷450 posti totali , con accesso indipendente e collocata quasi completamente entro terra ad una profondità massima intorno a 7,5÷8,0 metri dall'attuale livello di calpestio. La copertura del nuovo edificio verrà adibita a spazio per la sosta e/o per lo svolgimento di attività di spettacolo compatibili con la destinazione d'uso sopra indicata. L'attività principale è costituita dalla sala da spettacolo con 420 posti a sedere e una serie di spazi accessori da destinare a supporto della sala stessa, quali gallerie, balconate e spazi espositivi, un atrio di accesso, servizi per il pubblico, servizi igienici separati per uomini e donne, camerini e piccoli spazi di deposito e servizio al palco, percorsi di distribuzione e di uscita, locali per installazioni tecniche
DisLocate is a web server for predicting cisteine bonding state and disulfide connectivity in proteins.
No full textDisulfide bonds stabilize protein structures and play relevant roles in their functions. Their formation requires an oxidizing environment and their stability is consequently depending on the redox ambient potential, which may differ according to the subcellular compartment. Several methods are available to predict cysteine-bonding state and connectivity patterns. However, none of them takes into consideration the relevance of protein subcellular localization. Here we develop DISLOCATE, a two-step method based on machine learning models for predicting both the bonding state and the connectivity patterns of cysteine residues in a protein chain. We find that the inclusion of protein subcellular localization improves the performance of these predictive steps by 3 and 2 percentage points, respectively. When compared with previously developed methods for predicting disulfide bonds from sequence, DISLOCATE improves the overall performance by more than 10 percentage points. The web server and the dataset are available at https://dislocate.biocomp.unibo.it
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
