Opening remarks
No full textThe Ettore Majorana Foundation and Centre for Scientific Culture (EMFCSC) is celebrating its 50 Anniversary over the three years 2011-2013. This year will be the second of the three devoted to the celebrations of the 50 Anniversary. Why three years? The EMFCSC started in 1961 when, with my great friend John Bell, I discussed the problem of creating a bridge between university courses and activities in advanced physics laboratories such as CERN. A year later, on May 8 at CERN, Bell, Patrick Blackett, Victor Weisskopf, Isidor Rabi and Zichichi formally established the EMFCSC. The Centre's first activity was the School of Subnuclear Physics at Erice in 1963. This is why the celebrations are over three years. In 2011, the discovery of the negative sign of the β-function and of asymptotic freedom was celebrated. In 2013, the SSB plus Instantons will be celebrated. In 2012 we celebrate QCD

No full textTrent'anni di Gran Sasso = Thirty years of Gran Sasso: volume in onore di Antonino Zichichi = a volume in honour of Antonino Zichichi
No full textThis volume - in honour of Antonino Zichichi - is a collection of papers that have appeared in various journals, proceedings and books published by the Italian Physical Society over the last few decades about the Gran Sasso National Laboratory. The articles reproduced in the book come from Il Nuovo Saggiatore, Il Nuovo Cimento and from the Proceedings of the International School of Physics "Enrico Fermi" of Varenna. A few other relevant articles from special volumes have been included for the sake of completeness
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
An update on brane supersymmetry breaking
No full text“Brane supersymmetry breaking” is a peculiar phenomenon that can occur in perturbative
orientifold vacua. It results from the simultaneous presence, in the vacuum, of non–mutually
BPS sets of BPS branes and orientifolds, which leave behind a net tension and thus a
runaway potential, but no tachyons. In the simplest ten–dimensional realization, the low–
lying modes combine the closed sector of type–I supergravity with an open sector including
USp(32) gauge bosons, fermions in the antisymmetric 495 and an additional singlet playing
the role of a goldstino. We review some properties of this system and of other non–tachyonic
models in ten dimensions with broken supersymmetry, and we illustrate some puzzles that
their very existence raises, together with some applications that they have stimulated
Variations on the Author
No full text“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
