    California Poll: 6407 -- October 23-28, 1964

    No full text
    The Field Poll, established in 1945 as The California Poll by Mervin Field, has operated continuously as an independent, non-partisan, media-sponsored public opinion news service. Each year the Field Polls cover a wide range of political and social topics examining California public opinion. Continuing measures are made of voter support for leading political figures vying for major state and federal offices, job ratings of important political figures and reactions to significant political events. Voter awareness, understanding and predispositions of major campaign issues and salient statewide ballot propositions are also tracked over time. For poll 6407 N=1223

    Master's thesis in Petroleum Geosciences Engineering.The region of investigation is located in the Norwegian Sea, which is an area of high hydrocarbon activity. Many reservoirs have been successfully identified, drilled, and now they are producing in large oil & gas fields. However, the Norwegian Sea has a complex geology as it resulted from Permian to Late Jurassic crustal extension, which created rift basins and several horst and graben structures. Most of the important hydrocarbon reservoirs in the Norwegian Sea are Jurassic. Because of the complex geology, identifying these reservoirs and successfully positioning wells is challenging. The research for this project is conducted on a dry well, 6407/10-5 in area 793 that was drilled along the western fault bounded Frøya High in the Norwegian Sea. The Frøya High is a Triassic paleo-uplift: a NNE-SSW trending horst bounded by the Vingleia and Klakk fault complexes on the eastern side and a major fault on the western side, which separates it from the Froan Basin. A Jurassic rollover anticline developed along the western margin of the Frøya High where the well is located. Since 2015, many fields such as Pil, Bue and Snilehorn, have been discovered in the same geological trend. However, in the study area, the two wells 6407/10-1 and 6407/10-2, drilled in the 1980s, only contain hydrocarbon shows, and the newly drilled well 6407/10-5 is dry. This study focuses on identifying the failure reason of the dry well 6407/10-5. Newly acquired 3D seismic data covering the study area, well reports, log data and geochemical reports of the wells 6407/10-1 and 6407/10-2 are used for the project. This research provides an understanding of the geological elements of the petroleum system of the study area i.e., seal, reservoir, source and trap, which lead to debate the reasons for failure of the well. A set of methodologies are defined to test each element. Here, local source is not functional and top seal of the reservoir is heavily faulted. Trap failure is the main reason for dry well as fault besides the trap has high potential of leaking

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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

    We 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
