10403 Abstracts Collection – Impact of Human Mobility on Communications : Measurement, Analysis, Modeling, and Simulation
Get PDFFrom 06.10.2010 to 09.10.2010, the Dagstuhl Seminar 10403 ``Impact of Human Mobility on Communications : Measurement, Analysis, Modeling, and Simulation'' was held in Schloss Dagstuhl~--~Leibniz Center for Informatics.
During the seminar, several participants presented their current
research, and ongoing work and open problems were discussed. Abstracts of
the presentations given during the seminar as well as abstracts of
seminar results and ideas are put together in this paper. The first section
describes the seminar topics and goals in general.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
Hydrocarbon biosynthesis in Mycobacterium sp. NCIMB 10403 and Desulfovibrio desulfuricans
No full textThe continued depletion of oil reserves, a necessity for energy security
and the environmental importance of reducing greenhouse gas emissions has
prompted the industrial development of clean, non-conventional, renewable
fuels. Transport fuels are currently composed primarily of fossil-derived alkanes
and commonly contain a minor biofuel component of bioethanol in gasoline or
fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) in diesel. Increasing biofuel supply to satisfy
governmental targets imposes substantial technological constraints on
automobile engine manufacturers and raises controversies over arable land
usage. ‘Drop-in’, microbial, alkane biofuels are structurally identical to fossil
fuels and their production does not compete directly with arable farming,
thereby obviating the problems associated with the manufacture and
deployment of bioethanol and FAMEs.
This study investigated alkane biosynthesis in two non-photosynthetic
bacteria, Mycobacterium sp. NCIMB 10403 and Desulfovibrio desulfuricans, to
evaluate their potential for use as biocatalysts in the industrial manufacture of
‘drop-in’ biofuels. This study employed single- and two-dimensional gas
chromatography-mass spectrometry as a means to provide a rigorous analysis
of alkane biosynthesis in these bacteria. In addition, a microarray analysis was
used to develop an understanding of the genes potentially important in
regulating alkane production in D. desulfuricans.
In contrast to the original reports from the 1960’s, Mycobacterium sp.
NCIMB 10403 and D. desulfuricans NCIMB 8307 did not synthesise alkanes.
Alkane biosynthesis was confirmed in D. desulfuricans NCIMB 8326 although
the alkane quantities and carbon chain length distribution differed significantly
to those previously reported. The microarray data gave evidence to suggest
that the expression of genes encoding a long chain fatty acid-CoA ligase and an
aspartyl/glutamyl-tRNA amidotransferase may be important for regulating
alkane biosynthesis in D. desulfuricans. Furthermore, several genes encoding
hypothetical proteins were identified as being potentially involved directly in the
formation of alkanes

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe 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
