Metodologie e sistemi informativi per la definizione e la gestione di interventi di recupero dell’edilizia storica del borgo La Martella a Matera
No full textThe use of ICT methodologies and tools is fundamental for the development of intervention strategies for building and urban recovery as well as for the enhancement of modern urban settlements, in particular those built in the immediate second post-war period of testimonial-historical value ; both for the construction of an appropriate knowledge of the current situation and as a support and aid to decisions in the definition, in particular, of the interventions on the building heritage of historical and testimonial value. The proposed intervention for the recovery of the historic building of the village La Martella in Matera, starting from a preliminary archive research, was developed through the construction of a geographical database in a GIS environment that allowed to organize the essential elements of knowledge and cataloging the different types of residential buildings and of the main existing public facilities, as well as their respective areas and relevant lots. The built information system provides a searchable, updatable and implementable database based on the objectives of protection, recovery and reuse of the historic buildings of the Borgo
Multiscale analysis of minor historical centres and planning of urban regeneration interventions through the integration of Heritage BIM and GIS tools and platforms
No full textThe paper deals with the topic of the regeneration of minor building stock in the context of small Italian historical centres, through the use of ICT (Information and Communications Technology) methodologies and tools for the management and development of sustainable intervention strategies. The problems of accessibility and urban decay were at the core of the following project proposals, aimed at recovering public spaces and implementing new logistic services and infrastructures in Artena, a medieval village in the south of Rome. A methodological approach based on multiscalarity, has allowed the development of a holistic and integrated information model through the interoperability of BIM and GIS tools, aimed at defining strategies for sustainable recovery of the city by reinforcing its resilience and improving its accessibility
Heritage-BIM: the integrated management of the historical centres, the case study of Artena
No full textThe article deals with the use of digital technologies to support the management and regeneration of minor buildings, in particular that of small Italian historical centers, represented by the case study of the medieval village of Artena, located south of Rome. The design of the interventions on the village was accompanied by the parallel design of a new methodology based on the integrated use of GIS and BIM systems and logics. The development of a methodological approach based on multiscalarity and the design of a holistic and integrated information model, supported by a specific Common Data Environment (CDE), led to the definition of strategies for the recovery of the village, according to the themes of the resilience and accessibility
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
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
