California Poll: 6604 -- June 16-20, 1966
No full textThe 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 6604 N=631
The open clusters NGC 6604 and NGC 6704
Get PDFiv, 84, 2 leaves : charts ; 28 cm.Bibliography: leaves 75-78.Online version unavailable; print version available from Patrick Power Library.At the suggestion of Dr. D.L. DuPuy, the young open clusters of NGC 6604 and NGC 6704 were observed in the UBV wide-band system in order to obtain improved colour-magnitude diagrams and estimates of distance.
A short introduction serves to present basic information and review previous studies of the two clusters, and to demonstrate their potential importance in determining the spiral structure of the Galaxy near the Sun.
The second and third chapters describe the photoelectric and photographic observations and reductions, including a section on difficulties encountered with the iris photometer used to measure the plates. A section on results contains two appendices, giving approximately 100 UBV measures in the fields of both clusters.
The methods of determining reddening corrections, cluster membership, and distance moduli are discussed is some detail in Chapter 4.
Chapter 5 is a discussion of the colour-magnitude diagrams for both clusters. Age estimates are also derived; NGC 6604 is found to have an estimated age of ~4 million years, and NGC 6704 an estimated age of 20 million years.
The relation of both clusters to the local spiral structure is the topic of Chapter 6, but due to the small sample, there is little new information gained.
A discussion of possible future work towards determining the spiral structure between galactic longitudes [lowercase script l] = 20 [degree sign]-70 [degree sign] at distances greater than 2 kpc from the Sun, and investigating the possible pre-main-sequence stars which may be members of NGC 6604, concludes the study
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
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
