Martedì 30 giugno 2015 | Giovedì 2 Luglio 2015
Programma: 1. Le citazioni bibliografiche nella letteratura scientifica: i principali stili citazionali in ambito scientifico (Harvard e Vancouver); 2. I software bibliografici: cosa sono, a cosa servono, come e quando vengono usati; 3. Il software open source Zotero. Esercitazioni: installazione del software sul proprio pc, gestione completa di una bibliografia in Zotero in funzione di una stesura di un articolo scientifico; 4. Il software gratuito Mendeley. Funzionalità di base e confronto con Zotero; 5. Accenni al software Latex; 6. Dove pubblicare un articolo scientifico: indici bibliometrici di riviste e autori (Impact Factor e H-Index); 7. Vie alternative per la pubblicazione: OA (che cosa è, perché si è sviluppato). Esempi di riviste OA e di Open Archives disciplinari e istituzionali; 8. Le due vie per pubblicare OA: green road e gold road; 9. Pubblicare senza perdere i propri diritti è possibile? Come? (La banca dati Sherpa per le politiche editoriali dei singoli editori); 10. Come UNIMORE ha recepito l’OA: gli archivi MoreThesis e IRIS.

N.B. Le lezioni si terranno in aula M2.1 (ex aula 11 presso il dip. di Matematica) dalle ore 9.00 alle ore 13.00.

Computational methods for Modelling, Quantum-Mechanical Methods

Prof.  C. Ignacio Sainz Díaz

1

First Principles calculations can be a useful tool to explore phenomena that occur at atomic scale in chemical reactions where bonds are formed and broken, and spectroscopical properties. A review of fundamentals and applications of quantum mechanical methods will be described. A preliminary summary of different atomistic computacional modeling methods will be explained with some useful practical informations for atomistic methods. Basic explanations of fundamentals of Hartree-Fock approximation and Density Functional Theory and related approximations will be presented. Some practical details in the use of some programs will be included. Application examples of these methods will be described on studies related with surface and material science and environmental sciences.

Computational Mineralogy

Prof.  C. Ignacio Sainz Díaz

2

A review of the main computational methods applied to Mineralogy is described from an atomistic point of view. Every macroscopic phenomenon is the result of a complex junction of many microscopic phenomena based on interactions between atoms and molecules. Different methods are presented in a crescent sequence of theory level complexity, starting from methods of experimental data analysis including simulated annealing methods. Several classic mechanics force fields based on empirical interatomic potentials are presented. More sophisticate methods based on quantum mechanics are described applied on molecular cluster models and crystal periodic systems. Molecular dynamics simulations are also included. Some practical details about the use of some programs will be included. Applications of all these methods on the study of phyllosilicates and layered oxides are reviewed focussing on structural, crystallographic and spectroscopic properties, reactivity, surface interactions, adsorption of organic molecules and water interactions, including examples that occur at extreme conditions of pressure and temperature, in difficult conditions for experimentalists like phenomena in comets or interplanetary dust, in deep sediments of seafloor, in dust of atmospheric aerosols.

Pedoantracologia,

Prof. Marie-Claude Bal

1

The aim of this lecturer concerning the pedoanthracology is to explain the role of a methodology which help us to understand the mountain landscapes transformations since the Neolithic period in the southern European space.  Several examples of research will be detailed and permit to explore the natural and cultural heritage approach. 

Paleoecologia,

Prof.  Katerina Kouli

1

Investigating the late Quaternary landscapes of Greece: The study of the late postglacial environmental changes in Greece has been based on the study of multiple environmental marine and terrestrial archives.
In the Aegean Sea, combined palynological, micro-palaeontological and molecular biomarker evidences enabled palaeoenvironmental and palaeoclimatic reconstructions for since the late postglacial.
At the same time, terrestrial records demonstrate the heterogeneity of temporal landscape as a result of significant geomorphologic, altitudinal, latitudinal and climatic variability. Holocene palaeoecological and
paleovegetational studies from areas close to human activity centers provide evidences of their role as landscape shaping factor. A review of existing multi-proxy studies will be presented. The combination of palaeoenvironmental and palaeoclimatic archives with archaeological records provides an overview of human-environment dynamics
in the Holocene and outline the transition from a climate-controlled to the modern cultural landscape.
Finally, a geological point of view for the interpretation of Greek mythology and ancient writings (Geomythology) will be discussed.
