Strategie innovative di riqualificazione integrata del costruito storico italiano. Il nested building e il caso studio della “Cattedra” di Canove di Roana.
No full textIl contributo espone i risultati delle ricerca – svolta nell’ambito del progetto Core-Wood POR FESR 2014-2020. Asse 1. Azione 1.1.4 – il cui obbiettivo è la riqualificazione del patrimonio edilizio italiano esistente mediante tecniche innovative di nested building. Queste prevedono il mantenimento dell’involucro esterno degli edifici esistenti all’interno del limiti della loro capacità strutturale e l’inserimento di un nuovo involucro interno per migliorare le prestazioni energetiche e strutturali complessive dell’edificio. Questa è una strategia di intervento ancora poco diffusa in Italia, ma che ha potenzialità tali da renderla competitiva nel recupero e riuso di edifici esistenti in cui devono essere mantenute le invarianti architettoniche dei prospetti esistenti. Questi obbiettivi devono essere declinati nel particolare contesto italiano, dove il territorio risulta da un lato qualificato da specifici valori ambientali, paesaggistici e architettonici e dall’altro è caratterizzato da un’elevata sismicità che mette a rischio l’ambiente costruito del Paese.
La ricerca è stata sviluppata in due fasi: la prima ha visto il confronto di diverse strategie di intervento nel costruito italiano, concentrandosi in particolare sull’utilizzo del cross laminated timber (CLT) negli interventi di recupero mediante nested building. La seconda parte invece si è focalizzata sull’analisi del caso studio, un edificio in muratura mista del XVI secolo trasformato nel corso del XX secolo, verificando l’applicazione della metodologia di recupero analizzata e valutando l’interazione tra nuovo ed esistente dal punto di vista energetico
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
Up-one: Problems issuing from upward extensions of 1950-1900 residential buildings
No full textThough presenting typological and construction-related features different from other European countries, Italian residential buildings as a whole fail to meet the performances required by the European Union before the 2050 deadline. Among the hypotheses meant to upgrade residential buildings, adding floors is regarded as capable of meeting the demand for new lodgings without any further soil consumption as well as of being the driving force leading to the overall upgrading of the building. The research has been aimed at focusing on the problems arising from upward extensions within the Italian seismic context, by means of digital environment surveys, defining intervention guidelines that can be applied to adding floors to 1950-2000 buildings
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
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
