    Le cave della Lessinia (la pietra di Prun)

    No full text
    Nel territorio della Lessinia lo sfruttamento dei materiali lapidei risale alla protostoria. L'estrazione della pietra di Prun (lastame) inizia con l'età del ferro, per la costruzione di villaggi fortificati e case di tipo "retico". La successione di strati formanti il lastame appartiene alla Scaglia Rossa di età Cretacica superiore

    Strike-slip contractional stepovers in the Southern Alps (northeastern Italy)

    Strike-slip pop-ups are seldom recognized because they are sites of rapid uplift and erosion. In addition, they can easily be confused with shortening structures of different age. In the Neogene central-eastern Southern Alps, the western termination of the ENE-trending Valsugana thrust is located at the interference with the suborthogonal Calisio Line, which is an inverted Permian normal fault. Just west of the Calisio Line the Mt. Cornetto di Folgaria (MCF) structural and topographic high is a large-scale pop-up localised at the restraining stepover between the sinistral Calisio and Schio-Vicenza strike-slip faults, which trend at high angle to the thrust belt. The MCF pop-up developed in post-Tortonian times, when the kinematics of these faults changed from dextral to sinistral. At a smaller scale, strike-slip restraining and releasing stepovers of pre-existing steep fault segments show that these inherited faults are kinematically linked and constitute an important mechanical anisotropy responsible for strain partitioning into strike-slip and dip-slip displacements. The analysis of the MCF pop-up and related minor structures suggests that in fold-and-thrust-belts affected by strike-slip faults at high angle to the belt axis, contractional structures related to strike-slip restraining bends and stepovers may be more common than what is usually thought

    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

    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

    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
