Setting-up a graphical basis for an information and management system of architectural heritage: House Hylas
Full text linkLa experiencia profesional y el contacto con especialistas en la materia
ponen de manifiesto una problemática acuciante en el terreno del
conocimiento y gestión del patrimonio arquitectónico: la tendencia a
la dispersión de la información obtenida desde los distintos ámbitos
–administración, comunidad científica y profesionales de la
arquitectura– y disciplinas intervinientes –arqueólogos, historiadores,
arquitectos, etc.–, generando graves situaciones de pérdidas o
duplicidades de datos. Esa realidad ha revertido en la falta de
eficiencia en la programación y ejecución de las diversas actividades
de mantenimiento, conservación e intervención en estas arquitecturas,
así como en el despilfarro de importantes labores investigadoras que
dificulta la divulgación y, por tanto, el conocimiento de las mismas.
Como posible solución a dicha problemática este artículo describe una
experiencia que pretende establecer las bases para la construcción de
una herramienta que, basada en un modelo infográfico, sea capaz de
contener y gestionar toda la información generada sobre un
monumento histórico, facilitando relaciones de transversalidad entre
los distintos análisis que abordan el conocimiento del edificio. En este
caso, el análisis de los aspectos constructivos y de conservación de
uno de los inmuebles del Conjunto Arqueológico de Itálica es el que
ha aportado contenido a esta herramienta todavía en estado de
gestación, estableciendo así los conocimientos básicos para su gestión
y conservación.Professional experience and contact with experts reveal a pressing
problem in the field of knowledge and management of architectural
heritage: the tendency to scatter the information obtained from the
different areas –administration, scientific community and professionals
of architecture– and disciplines involved –archaeologists, historians,
architects, etc.–, causing serious problems of data loss or duplication.
That reality has produced lack of efficiency in planning and
implementing the various activities of maintenance and intervention
in these architectures, as well as wastage of important investigative
work. Such circumstances obstruct disclosure and, therefore,
knowledge of heritage. As a possible solution to that problem, this
article describes an experience that aims to lay the groundwork for
building a tool that, based on computer models, is able to contain and
manage the information generated about a historical monument,
facilitating cross-cutting relationships between different analysis that
address the knowledge of the building. In this case, the analysis of the
construction and conservation of one of the buildings of the
archaeological site of Italica forms the data base of this tool still in
gestation, thus establishing the basic knowledge for its management
and conservation
La fotogrametría digital: una herramienta para la recuperación de arquitecturas perdidas. Torre del Homenaje del Castillo de Constantina
Full text linkIn recent years, the continuing development of architectural survey techniques based on point clouds captured by laser scanning has revolutionized the field of
documentation prior to intervention, management or research in heritage. No clutch, affirming that these techniques have displaced others, such as photogrammetry, that have played an important role in the field of architectural survey, is a precipitated guess. Among other advantages, photogrammetry offers the ability to capture missing realities, lacking the materialness required for the use of laser scanner. In that vein, this paper describes the work of photogrammetric survey, location of parts and graphical anaparástasis of prior state to collapse of the Keep of the Castle of Constantine
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
