Trentaquattro case del fascio. Settant'anni dopo
No full textL’iniziativa proposta in questo volume prende forma dal coordinamento di otto tesi di laurea triennale in Ingegneria Edile, discusse presso la Facoltà di Ingegneria dell’Università di Padova negli aa.aa. 2007-08, 2008-09, 2009-10. Gli allora laureandi - Gianluca Battocchio, Annaceleste Bortoletto, Francesca Grassetto, Nicoletta Mantoan, Filippo Mazzucato, Francesco Pasqualin, Laura Permunian, Simone Torresin - hanno lavorato occupandosi, entro un quadro di riferimento unitario, di ambiti territoriali specifici, raccogliendo memorie dai testimoni del tempo e individuando materiale iconografico in molti casi inedito. Enrico Pietrogrande è anche autore di trentasei delle centosedici schede dedicate ai comuni della provincia e ai quartieri del capoluogo
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
Energy Efficiency Strategies for Mediterranean School Buildings: A Comparative Study of Italy and Greece.
No full textThis study presents a comprehensive comparative analysis of school building stock in Italy and Greece, focusing on the cities of Padua and Volos. The research, part of the ongoing SchoolNet FSE project, aims to bridge the gap in comparative studies between different European contexts and develop strategies for energy-efficient renovation of school buildings. The methodology involves a three-level analysis: national overview, detailed case studies of Padua and Volos, and an in-depth examination of a specific school building in Volos. The study reveals that both countries face similar challenges, with over 60% of school build-ings constructed before the introduction of stringent energy efficiency regula-tions. Significant differences in building distribution, morphology, and manage-ment reflect diverse educational policies and approaches to space optimization. The Greek case study demonstrates the potential for substantial energy efficiency improvements through targeted interventions, with an estimated 48.7% reduction in the annual primary energy consumption. The research highlights the importance of adapting renovation strategies to local specificities while considering energy efficiency, occupant comfort, and educational opportunities. It also emphasizes the potential of integrating technologies like green roofs and photovoltaic systems to transform school buildings into educational tools for sustainability. This study provides a foundation for developing targeted energy renovation strategies in the school building sector, contributing to the European Union’s sustainability goals and promoting environmental awareness among future generations
Durability of cycle-pedestrian glulam bridges and footbridges: research onto good design and maintenance practices
No full textVariations 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
Eco-Efficiency in Refrigerated Warehouses’ Design and Management. A Critical Literature Review
No full textIn recent years, increasing attention to environmental sustainability and
the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions has prompted industries to seek inno
vative solutions to improve their energy efficiency. In this context, industrial cold
storage facilities, which are essential for the storage and distribution of perishable
products, are an area of particular interest. These facilities, which are character
ized by high energy consumption due to controlled temperature requirements, can
benefit significantly from integrated energy management strategies.
Both researchers and practitioners are already working on innovating the plan
ning and management of this kind of buildings, and this article aims to examine the
lines of research and innovation that are already addressing Industry 5.0 and the
new priorities of sustainability and resilience in this context. It also aims to iden
tify and categorize strategies for optimizing the performance of these industrial
facilities, contributing to an optimal management model from both an operational
and economic perspective, as well as from an environmental perspective.
The article finally highlights the research gaps, limitations and further develop
ment windows that might lead both researchers and practitioners to the sustainable
planning and management of industrial, energy-demanding buildings
