In/out energy Design r-evolution
Full text linkThe paper illustrates the outcome of a design research project aimed to test the opportunity to apply the Design Thinking approach to the development of products, services and experiences aimed to raise the consumers awareness about domestic energy saving. The methodology adopted combines instruments and practices of user-centered product-service design, of behavior and interaction design by bringing together cutting-edge technologies and cognitive sciences. The project wishes to outline a product-service system focused on users following a facilitated interaction process through devices connected to domestic appliances. The paper deals with the subject Education from two points of view. On the one hand the research is oriented to involve users education in terms of energy consumption awareness, knowledge and sensibility. On the other part in the project have converged the results of design experiments carried out inside the degree courses of Design from 2009 to nowadays
Diatom De-Science. Intersections between design and science
No full textMostra internazionale Diatom De-science. Intersection between Design and Science
Coordinamento: Carla Langella
Mostra a cura di Carla Langella, Francesco dell'Aglio e Giulia Scalera.
La mostra Diatom De-science. Intersection between Design and Science, inaugurata nel luglio 2014 a Città della Scienza, è nata dalla volontà di divulgare e condividere i risultati del progetto di ricerca “Proprietà fotoniche e micromeccaniche delle diatomee” coordinato da Mario De Stefano, con responsabili scientifici Carla Langella ed Edoardo De Tommasi, finanziato dal programma FIRB del Ministero dell’Istruzione, dell’Università e della Ricerca Scientifica. .
La mostra esplora il rapporto tra design e scienza traendo ispirazione dalla ricerca sulle diatomee, organismi fotosintetici unicellulari ampiamente diffusi in natura, di grande valore ambientale. Lo sviluppo della mostra è avvenuto secondo un approccio virale fondato sulla scelta di “amplificare” i risultati della ricerca attraverso il coinvolgimento di scienziati, designer e artisti italiani e internazionali, provenienti da diversi contesti, invitati ad interpretare tali risultati da molteplici punti di vista.
L'esposizione nasce anche come occasione di indagine e di intersezione tra ricercatori, designer, scienziati e aziende sui temi della Biomimetica, disciplina che trae ispirazione da principi, logiche, morfologie e strutture osservati in natura per apportare innovazione sostenibile nei processi di sviluppo di nuovi prodotti

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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe 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
