The archaeological excavations of the University of Udine at the Great Baths of Aquileia (2002-2018).
This paper describes aims and results of the archaeological investigations conducted by the University of Udine in Aquileia, on
the site of the so called ’Great Baths’, a vast public thermal building remained active from the 4th to the end of the 5th century
A.D. The first part explains the institutional aspects and developments of the first phase of the scientific-educational project
(2002-2014) and those of the new course started in 2016 with the excavation concession from the Ministry of Cultural Heritage
and in collaboration with the Aquileia Foundation. The second part summarises the main contributions to the knowledge of the
building deriving from the research of the University of Udine and from the re-reading of the 20th century excavations
Adduzione e distribuzione delle acque nelle Grandi terme di Aquileia: i dati dello scavo
No full textLe Grandi terme costantiniane di Aquileia, per la loro funzione e per la loro grande estensione, richiedevano imponenti impianti per l’approvvigionamento e lo stoccaggio dell’acqua e una capillare rete di adduzione, distribuzione e smaltimento, indispensabili per l’alimentazione di vasche, piscine e fontane.
Le sistematiche spoliazioni dell’edificio hanno eliminato per sempre le tubazioni e gli alloggiamenti negli elevati. Tuttavia, proprio le trincee di spoliazione, con l’aiuto del confronto con le meglio conservate Terme di Caracalla a Roma, ci permettono di ricostruire il sistema degli impianti idraulici dell’edificio pubblico aquileiese. Le indagini più recenti ci aiutano a interpretare le foto dei vecchi scavi del ‘900, quasi completamente privi di documentazione, e stanno restituendo un interessantissimo ambiente con grandi vasche e fontane nel settore nord-est dell’edificio di età costantiniana / Water adduction and distribution in the ‘Great Baths’ of Aquileia: data from excavations.The Constantinian Great Baths of Aquileia, for their function and extent, required an impressive hydraulic system (for supply, storage, distribution and disposal of water), indispensable for supplying pools and fountains. In Middle and Modern Ages, the systematic plundering of the Baths has forever eliminated pipes and ducts under the floors and in the walls. However, the despoliation trenches allow us to reconstruct the hydraulic system of this thermal building, with the help of the comparison with the best-preserved Baths of Caracalla in Rome. The most recent archaeological investigations help us to interpret the photos of the 20th-century excavations, almost completely devoid of records, and are bringing to light a very interesting room with large basins and fountains in the northeastern part of the Constantinian thermae
Le Grandi Terme costantiniane di Aquileia tra V e VI secolo: la fine di un edificio pubblico e l'inizio di nuovi modi di abitare
No full textNella prima parte (pp. 277-294) Marina Rubinich analizza i dati di scavo e i materiali di alcuni contesti significativi, che confermano la vitalità delle terme costantiniane di Aquileia durante il V secolo e le trasformazioni dell’edificio alle soglie dell’Alto Medioevo. In particolare, viene descritta l’ultima fase strutturale delle terme, databile al pieno V secolo, che mostra caratteristiche diverse tra la parte settentrionale e quella meridionale del complesso monumentale, tanto da far supporre destinazioni d’uso differenti. A nord vengono costruiti nuovi ambienti con intonaci dipinti e mosaici a piccole tessere, che riprendono i temi mitologico-marini dell’Aula Nord costantiniana e che rimandano ad una committenza colta ancora legata alla tradizione iconografica pagana. All’estremità sud, invece, le prime spoliazioni vengono sistemate in modo provvisorio per permettere, tra la fine del V e gli inizi del VI secolo, il riuso degli ambienti delle terme come abitazione e come sede di attività artigianali connesse allo sfruttamento delle decorazioni e degli arredi dell’edificio. Nella seconda parte (pp. 294-302), Elena Braidotti riprende e definisce più precisamente questi e altri contesti analizzando la classe ceramica più rappresentata alle Grandi Terme, le anfore commerciali, con una particolare attenzione agli esemplari che contribuiscono a datare le due fasi finali dell’edificio e l’inizio della frequentazione altomedievale dei ruderi
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
Get PDFWe 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
