Le Migmatiti di Tollegno (Biella)
No full textLe Migmatiti di Tollegno documentano il grado di complessità che una sezione di crosta intermedia-profonda può acquisire quando è caratterizzata da flusso di magma (l’attuale leucosoma). Durante il trasferimento da un punto ad un altro della crosta terrestre, il fuso incorpora materiale restitico e si intrude nel paleosoma, frammentandolo. I frammenti di paleosoma possono venire spostati, ruotati e/o rimossi dalle posizioni originarie ed essere inglobati a loro volta nel leucosoma. Grandi quantità di paleosoma possono rallentare la mobilità del leucosoma; tuttavia lo sprofondamento di blocchi di paleosoma nel leucosoma favorisce la risalita di quest’ultimo verso livelli di messa in posto superficiali, in un complesso rapporto causa-effetto fondamentale per la differenziazione della crosta della Terra

How much is secondary structure responsible for resistance of double-stranded RNA to pancreatic ribonuclease A?
No full text1. Double-stranded f2 sus11 or Qbeta RNAs, resistant to bovine pancreatic RNAase A in 0.15 M NaCl/0.015 M sodium citrate (SSC), are quickly and completely degraded at 10-fold lower ionic strength (0.1 X SSC) under otherwise similar conditions. At this ionic strength the secondary structure of double-stranded RNA is maintained, as judged by the following: (a) the unchanged resistance of double-stranded RNA and DNA, under similar low ionic strength conditions, to nuclease S1 from Aspergillus oryzae, in contrast with the sensitivity of the corresponding denatured nucleic acids to this enzyme, specific for single-stranded RNA and DNA; (b) the co-operative pattern of the thermal-transition profile of double-stranded RNA (with a Tm of 89 degrees C) in 0.1 X SSC. 2. Whereas in SSC bovine seminal RNAase (RNAase BS-1) and whale pancreatic RNAase show an activity on double-stranded RNA significantly higher than that of RNAase A, in 0.1 X SSC the activity of the latter enzyme on this substrate becomes distinctly higher than that of RNAase BS-1, and similar to that of whale RNAase. 3. From these results it is deduced that the secondary structure is probably not the only nor the most important variable in determining the susceptibility double-stranded RNA to ribonuclease. Other factors, such as the effect of ionic strength on the enzyme and/or the binding of enzyme to nucleic acids, may play an important role in the process of double-stranded RNA degradation by ribonucleases specific for single-stranded RNA

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
