Forms of energy. Architectural guidelines for the design of residential buildings being able to interact with the Smart Grid
No full textCome progettare l’edificio e la città in chiave energetica? Quali tipologie rispondono alla necessità di una maggiore flessibilità energetica nei confronti della rete? Esistono modalità insediative che più facilmente si integrano alla cosiddetta rete intelligente rispetto ad altre?
Convinzione alla base di questo lavoro di ricerca è che proprio questo cambiamento sia in grado di generare novità tecniche e concettuali così forti da costituire un momento di profondo sconvolgimento nel Progetto di Architettura, sia per quanto riguarda il progetto del nuovo che l’azione di rigenerazione del patrimonio edilizio esistente. Scopo di questo lavoro è dunque quello di individuare linee guida per la progettazione architettonica di edifici e brani di città che, attraverso il loro carattere formale e distributivo, siano in grado di favorire la gestione dei flussi energetici e ancor più di diventare attori attivi all’interno della nuova rete energetica
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
