Caratterizzazione geotermica dell’acquifero costiero di Ravenna. Geothermal characterization of the coastal aquifer near Ravenna (Italy)
No full textL’acquifero costiero della provincia di Ravenna è
un’importante riserva di acqua (2,5x109 m3), sempre più compromessa
dal fenomeno dell’intrusione salina. L’uso di questa
risorsa è pertanto limitato alla sola salvaguardia di habitat di
grande pregio naturalistico quali le Pinete storiche e costiere
nonché per le attività agricole. Al fine di accrescere la comprensione
delle dinamiche di flusso e l’interscambio fra acque superficiali
e sotterranee, si è intrapreso uno studio basato sull’analisi
delle temperature delle acque della falda freatica per valutare il
grado di interazione fra acque superficiali e sotterranee. Contemporaneamente
si è tentato di caratterizzare l’acquifero freatico
dal punto di vista termico al fine di poterlo eventualmente
sfruttare come “serbatoio di calore” nell’ambito della geotermia
a “bassa entalpia”, che prevede lo sfruttamento del sottosuolo
come serbatoio termico dal quale estrarre calore durante la sta-
gione invernale ed al quale cederne durante la stagione estiva.
Lo studio della distribuzione delle temperature nell’acquifero
freatico ha permesso di cartografare l’ampiezza della zona che
risente delle variazioni stagionali di temperatura, nonché la
temperatura alla sommità della zona geotermica. Queste temperature
dipendono essenzialmente dall’uso del suolo, dalla
distanza dal mare, dai tipi di sedimenti presenti e dall’interscambio
fra acque superficiali e sotterranee. La conoscenza dei
fattori che causano queste variazioni in temperatura ha permesso
di valutare quali sono le zone in cui il potenziale geotermico
dell’acquifero può essere sfruttato al meglio dall’eventuale messa
in opera di pompe di calore
Endoscopic treatment and radiotherapy of a skull base chondrosarcoma in a patient with type II enchondromatosis
No full textMaffucci syndrome is a rare, congenital mesenchymal displasia characterized by multiple enchondromata and
hemangiomata, both of which can undergo malignant transformation. Intracranial involvement is uncommon. There
is no medical treatment for enchondromatosis. Surgery is indicated in case of complications (pathological fractures,
severe functional defects, malignant transformation). Here, we describe a large chondrosarcoma involving nose,
paranasal sinuses and clivus treated by endoscopic transnasal resection and radiotherapy, in a 25‐year‐old patient with
Maffucci’s syndrome
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
