Lectotypification of Arenaria graminifolia Ard., Arenaria rosani Ten. and Arenaria alpicola Ten. (Caryophyllaceae)
No full textThree names based on Italian specimens relating to the Minuartia graminifolia complex are lectotypified. Arenaria graminifolia, the basionym of Minuartia graminifolia (Ard.) Jáv. subsp. graminifolia is lectotypified by an Arduino specimen at LINN, and Arenaria rosani, the basionym of M. graminifolia subsp. rosani (Ten.) Mattf. by a Tenore collection at NAP; both lectotypifications maintain current usage of these names. In addition, Arenaria alpicola Ten., now considered a synonym of Minuartia graminifolia subsp. clandestina (Portenschl.) Mattf., is also lectotypified by a Tenore collection at NAP referable to that subspecies
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
The s.c. 'hairy polyp' or 'dermoid' of the nasopharynx. (An unusual observation in older age).
No full textA case of 'hairy polyp' or 'dermoid' of the nasopharynx in a 71-year-old man is described. This tumor-like condition is usually discovered at birth or during the first years of life. The oldest patient previously recorded in the literature was a 66-year-old man. The occurrence of such masses in older patients suggests that the condition is a malformation and not a neoplasm
Isolamento sismico di un serbatoio a Priolo Gargallo (SR)
No full textThe paper relates the operations made for the seismic isolation of a tank located in Priolo Gargallo, in the Siracusa industrial area. The tank, built during the end of the seventies, is formed by a cylindrical steel shell, filled by a low temperature liquid, rested on a concrete slab, embedded on 139 columns, fitted together with the same number of foundation piles driven in the soil for about 12 meters. The friction pendulum bearing seismic devices have been adopted, installed in the superior part of the columns through the cut of a small section of the same. The intervention foresees the execution of a concrete slab at grade level, which has the functions to link all the pile heads, to furnish a rigid plan for the application to the provisional support and to anchor the new columns reinforcement bars
