Giulio Trasanna, Soldati e altre prose
No full textNuova edizione di "Soldati e altre prose" di Giulio Trasanna. La riedizione, a cura di Riccardo Donati, che firma anche la premessa al testo, il saggio bio-bibliografico "Il boxeur che volle farsi scrittore" e l'ampio saggio critico " Laggiù, oltre le canne e le erbe e la terra di fumo. Soldati di Trasanna", è arricchita da due inediti d'autore e da recensioni, di importantissimi intellettuali, uscite in occasione della prima edizione. Giulio Trasanna (1905-1962) fu uno scrittore autodidatta e irregolare. Cresciuto a Udine, visse in prima persona, da bambino, i giorni di Caporetto; nel Dopoguerra si diede al pugilato, poi trasferitosi a Milano fu un instancabile animatore culturale ed ebbe intense frequentazioni artistiche e intellettuali. Riconosciuto come un maestro da autori quali Claudio Magris e Franco Loi, in vita ha pubblicato Annate (1937) e Soldati e altre prose (1941), mentre molti suoi progetti poetici, romanzeschi e teatrali hanno visto la luce solo dopo la sua scomparsa
Una nuova 'tabula' sui privilegi dei soldati e dei veterani
No full textPrima edizione di una nuova tavola bronzea di 40 linee rinvenuta in Bulgaria, che riporta i contenuti della nota tavola di Brigetio (Ungheria) sui privilegi per i soldati e i veterani, anch'essa originariamente esposta in un accampamento legionario sul limes danubiano. Il confronto tra le due epigrafi ci offre la conferma della piena attendibilità dei contenuti della tavola di Brigezio, spesso messa in dubbio dalla critica; essa offe anche spunti sul funzionamento della burocrazia romana dell'epoca
Optimization of fluorescence microscopy techniques for the detection of total and viable lactic acid bacteria in whey starter cultures
No full textThis work aimed at studying the applicability of the most widely used fluorescence microscopy techniques to evaluate total and viable bacteria in a complex matrix
such as natural whey from Grana Padano cheese production. Fluorescein diacetate, BacLight, CTC (5-cyano-2,3-ditolyl tetrazolium chloride), DAPI (4’,6-diamidino-2-
phenylindole), and acridine orange stainings were evaluated on pure cultures and optimised for their use directly on natural whey starter cultures. Different incubation times and
resuspension buffers were tested. The developed procedures allow the enumeration of both viable and dead bacterial cells directly on the whey matrix. The methods proposed
may be used to directly evaluate the metabolic state of bacterial populations present in whey starter cultures
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
Mario Soldati e Aldo Buzzi : carteggio inedito, cucina e Due città
No full textIl carteggio inedito tra Mario Soldati e Aldo Buzzi, conservato presso il centro Apice dell’Università degli Studi di Milano, copre un arco temporale di trent’anni (1964-1994) e permette di far luce sui rapporti amicali e professionali tra i due scrittori. Dalle lettere emergono i retroscena della complessa vicenda editoriale del romanzo soldatiano Le due città (1964), e le contraddizioni che nascono quando l’amicizia cede il passo alla professionalità e alle poetiche individuali

Relationships between chemical and microbiological composition of commercial plain yogurts
No full textTen commercial plain stirred yogurts, seven produced in Italy, two in Croatia and one in Germany, were analysed. Some relevant chemical characteristics were widely variable among the samples. As regards microbiological composition, Streptococcus thermophilus cells were always numerous, while great fluctuations were found in the Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus. A RAPD analysis was performed to evaluate the presence of genetic variability among isolates from different products and a panel test with ten non-trained persons was set up to evaluate some organoleptic characteristics. A statistical analysis conducted to highlight relationships among the parameters tested, revealed that product characteristics seem to be influenced more by the amount of bacteria, particularly Lactobacillus, than by strain diversity
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
