Comelico Superiore, località Passo Monte Croce Comelico, indagini 2012-2014: note preliminari
No full textIn 2012 and 2013, two archaeological campaigns have been undertaken at the Passo Monte Croce Comelico, an Alpine pass which links the Pusteria Valley to the Padola Valley, and more generally Veneto to Trentino Alto-Adige and Austria. The archaeological investigation was focused on the evaluation of a square earthwork (side of 60 m) with circular projecting towers previously identified in a satellite imagery provided by Google Earth. This plan seems to belong to a typology of Late Roman fortifications that can mainly be found along the northern fron- tiers of the Roman Empire. The archaeological excavations have confirmed the presence of defensive ditches and ramparts, made of earth and wood. According to the radiocarbon dating, the site dates back to a period between the mid-3rd century and the beginning of the 5th century. The hypothesis which assess that this site can be interpreted as a Late Antique castrum seems to be confirmed by this preliminary research, although the excavations investigated around 2% of the overall site surface. In order to extend the research to the surrounding area, a Lidar analysis is currently underway. The first results of this study are adding new data to the comprehension of the archaeological evidence of this landscape, underlining that the Passo Monte Croce Comelico played a fundamental role in the strategic control of this region over the last two millennia
Tra Adige e Po: Adria prima di Adria e Este prima di Este
Full text linkThis paper focuses on two new, partially coeval Early Bronze Age settlements identified at Adria and at Este during excavations for the laying of methane pipelines. In Adria, a site with an impressive stratigraphy was investigated on the north-eastern edge of the Greek-Etruscan and present-day centre. The centre originated in the Middle Bronze Age with the characteristics of a wetland site of pile-dwelling type and developed in a dry environment between Recent Bronze Age 1 and 2. The plan of a hut has been investigated almost in its entirety, providing indications of the structural characteristics of the settlement. At Este, a site arose west to the Iron Age protourban centre, most probably at the edge of a lake and developed in the Recent Bronze Age 2. Structures of a dwelling character and infrastructures functional to the structuring of the shoreline, as well as wood and wicker remains, were revealed.
The comparison of the materials found in the two centres makes it possible to specify the characteristics of the local facies, in particular for the numerous cups with lobed and rostral handles in their variants.Il contributo illustra due nuovi insediamenti del Bronzo recente, parzialmente coevi, identificati ad Adria e ad Este durante lo scavo per la posa in opera di metanodotti. Ad Adria è stato indagato un sito complesso, con una stratigrafia imponente, al limite nord-orientale del centro greco-etrusco ed attuale. Il sito ha origine nell’età del Bronzo Medio con le caratteristiche di un insediamento umido di tipo palafitticolo e si sviluppa in un ambiente asciutto tra Bronzo Recente 1 e 2. La pianta di una capanna è stata indagata quasi integralmente fornendo indicazioni sulle caratteristiche strutturali e di organizzazione dell’abitato. A Este un sito nasce ad occidente del centro dell’età del Ferro, con ogni probabilità a margine di un ambito lacustre e si sviluppa nel Bronzo Recente 2. Sono state evidenziate strutture a carattere abitativo e infrastrutture funzionali alla strutturazione della sponda, oltre a resti in legno e vimini.
Il confronto tra i materiali rinvenuti nei due centri consente di specificare le caratteristiche proprie della facies locale, in particolare per le numerose tazze con anse lobate e rostrate nelle loro varianti
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
