    La Fondazione Einaudi, con il contributo del Progetto Alfieri della Fondazione CRT, ha realizzao tra il 2006 e il 2007 un catalogo della documentazione della rete diplomatica e consolare del Regno di Sardegna nelle Americhe custodita presso l'Archivio di Stato di Torino. Le schede del catalogo sono state elaborate sulla base di Guarini Archivi, applicativo prodotto dalla Regione Piemonte aderente ai paramentri internazionali ISAD (International Standard Archive Description). La silloge "Le Americhe e il Piemonte" è consultabile dal sito della Regione Piemonte (www.regione.piemonte.it/guaw/ListAction.do) selezionando, alal lista degli enti conservatori, la voce "Fondazione Luigi Einaudi - Le americhe e il Piemonte - Fonti dell'Archivio di Stato di Torino

    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

    Changing History: Doctored photographs affect memory for past public events.

    We investigated how doctored photographs of past public events affect memory for those events. Italian participants viewed either original images or misleading digitally doctored images depicting the 1989 Tiananmen Square protest in Beijing and a 2003 protest in Rome against the war in Iraq, and they subsequently answered questions about those events. Viewing the doctored images affected the way participants remembered the events. Those who viewed the doctored photograph of the Beijing event estimated that a larger number of people participated in it. Those who viewed the doctored photograph of the Rome event rated the event as more violent and more negative, recalled more physical confrontation, damage to property, and injuries to demonstrators, and were less inclined to participate in future protests. Both younger and older adult participants were affected by the manipulation. Results indicate that doctored photographs of past public events can influence memory, attitudes and behavioural intentions

    Soluzione analitica di piastre circolari soggette a flessione simmetrica, antimetrica e torsione combinate

    Aim of the work was the analytical solution of the stress state acting on circular plates subjected to the combination of symmetric bending, antimetric bending and torsion. The solution was needed to design a set of high speed quill shafts presenting a pinion at one side and a wide thin circular transverse flange at the other side, subjected to steady torque combined with symmetric and antimetric bending. The flange was considered as a thin plate problem with small displacements: a parametric solution was studied based on dimensionless ratios so that mostly the shape of the plate was dominant. The outer radius was analyzed in the two cases of simply supported and fixed. The three independent cases of symmetric bending, antimetric bending and torsion were solved: the stress components were finally combined in order to obtain the Von Mises stress distribution both in the case of uniform thickness plates and in the case of a non-uniform thickness plate with known profile

    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

    Full text link
    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

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    Full text link
    We 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
