La gestione del rilievo del danno: modelli IFC per il patrimonio storico / Damage survey management: IFC models for historical heritage
No full textL’articolo elabora un approccio OpenHBIM per la digitalizzazione del quadro di danno degli edifici esistenti, basato sulle Industry Foundation Classes. Viene sviluppato un database che integra i dati raccolti, implementati secondo classi e proprietà standardizzate, e la definizione di relazioni tra le entità, promuovendo la gestione condivisa delle informazioni. L’interoperabilità dello strumento facilita infine l’avvio di successive fasi analitiche, quali la modellazione strutturale dello stato di fatto.
The paper elaborates an OpenHBIM approach for the digitalisation of the crack pattern in existing buildings, based on Industry Foundation Classes A database is developed, which integrates the collected data, implemented according to standardised classes and properties, and the definition of relationships between entities, enhancing the shared management of information. The interoperability of the tool enables the development of subsequent analytical steps, such as structural modelling of the current state
Approccio OpenHBIM per la digitalizzazione del quadro fessurativo nell’edilizia storica / OPENHBIM approach for the digitalisation of crack pattern in historical buildings
No full textL’articolo presenta uno studio sulla trasposizione delle Industry Foundation Classes per il rilievo del danno negli edifici esistenti, con l’individuazione di classi e proprietà per qualificare il fenomeno e mediante la creazione di relazioni replicabili e universalmente condivise tra le entità del modello, poiché definite dallo standard normativo. La predisposizione di un database interoperabile costituisce la base per la valutazione dello stato di fatto e l’avviamento di analisi specifiche.
The paper analyses the transposition of Industry Foundation Classes for damage assessment in existing buildings, identifying classes
and properties to qualify the phenomenon, and creating relationships between model entities that are replicable and universally shared, as defined by the standard. The availability of an interoperable database provides the basis for the current state assessment and the development of specific analyses
La modellazione informativa (HBIM) e il percorso di conoscenza degli edifici storici ed esistenti: applicazione e problemi in una villa veneta
No full textConservation projects on architectural heritage (AH) must rely on a wide range of data from various sources and disciplines, necessitating collaboration among experts and yielding multiple outputs.
Building information modelling (BIM) was initially designed to address the complexities of the construction sector, but unique characteristics of architectural heritage (HBIM), including traditional construction techniques, material decay, and damage, pose challenges to its application. Nevertheless, HBIM holds promise as a valuable tool for documenting and managing architectural heritage. The preliminary study of AH involves a series of steps, encompassing archival research and onsite material testing, with the goal of creating a model for assessing structural safety. This paper employs a similar approach to develop a BIM model of a Palladian villa in Vicenza, fully utilizing parametric modelling and the information embedded within 3D elements to convey the knowledge acquired during the study. As a result, the model is somewhat simplified; for example, the walls are represented as perfectly vertical. However, the lack of finer detail is compensated for by including corresponding information in the parameters of BIM objects (e.g., utilizing an ‘out-of-plumb’ parameter in this case). The stratigraphy of attributes elements was adapted to match that observed on site and therefore the walls were subdivided according to changes into materials, building phases and thickness, to display them correctly and allow further analysis. The mapping of the decay of materials required some redundancy, as decay information must be attributed also to the supporting elements. Overall, the BIM database proved flexible enough to gather all necessary information. However, the distribution of the model is hindered by user-defined attributes, which are still absent from shared libraries in the architectural heritage field
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
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
