    Il saggio rende un commento alla sentenza delle Sezioni Unite della Corte di Cassazione n. 1530/2024, studiando il meccanismo dell’ammortamento alla francese. - Sommario. 1. Informazione minima, consenso sufficiente e incorporazione unilaterale di una «prassi contabile» alla base del processo di determinazione del corrispettivo nel mutuo. – 2. Le mobili frontiere del contenuto tipico del mutuo. Il diritto dei contratti bancari oltre la specialità. – 3. Costruzione del piano di ammortamento e regolazione delle imputazioni di pagamento nella tabella di rimborso rateale. – 4. Segue. Il dito e la luna. Il piano di ammortamento «tradizionale standard» costruito «a partire dal calcolo della quota interessi e deducendo per differenza la quota capitale e non viceversa». – 5. Specificità dei contratti di credito ai consumatori. – 6. Conclusioni

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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

    We 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

    In this paper, the technology for the realization of micromachined millimeter wave devices on dielectric membranes will be described. Examples of filters and antennas obtained on thin trilayers made by SiO2/Si3/SiO2 structures will be given, and their microwave response will be shown

    Microwave MEMS Switches in Series Configuration: Technology and Circuital Modeling

    No full text
    Micromachined MEMS switches for microwave applications have been manufactured, tested and modelled. A series, coplanar waveguide (CPW) configuration has been studied, suitable of better performances with respect to the shunt one for high frequences. A phenomenological circuital model is salso proposed to account for the contributions coming from: (i) metal-to-metal contacts, (ii) residual oxide in the switch actuation regio

    Phenomenological modeling of MEMS switches for microwave applications

    Microelectromechanical (MEMS) switches have been recently considered as alternative key elements with respect to PIN diode switches for high frequency applications. In spite of many configurations proposed in literature, a full theoretical modeling of the MEM switches is still in progress by using numerical and analytical approaches. In this paper, a phenomenological modeling of a classical MEM switch configuration is presented, to describe the microwave performances resulting from this mechanical devic
