Proposer selection in EIP-7251
Get PDFImmediate settlement, or single-slot finality (SSF), is a long-term goal for
Ethereum. The growing active validator set size is placing an increasing
computational burden on the network, making SSF more challenging. EIP-7251 aims
to reduce the number of validators by giving stakers the option to merge
existing validators. Key to the success of this proposal therefore is whether
stakers choose to merge their validators once EIP-7251 is implemented. It is
natural to assume stakers participate only if they anticipate greater expected
utility (risk-adjusted returns) as a single large validator. In this paper, we
focus on one of the duties that a validator performs, viz. being the proposer
for the next block. This duty can be quite lucrative, but happens infrequently.
Based on previous analysis, we may assume that EIP-7251 implies no change to
the security of the protocol. We confirm that the probability of a validator
being selected as block proposer is equivalent under each consolidation regime.
This result ensures that the decision of one staker to merge has no impact on
the opportunity of another to propose the next block, in turn ensuring there is
no major systemic change to the economics of the protocol with respect to
proposer selection.Comment: 15 page
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
HUKUK MUHAKEMELERİ KANUNU’NDA DEĞİŞİKLİK YAPILMASINA DAİR 7251 SAYILI KANUN HAKKINDA DEĞERLENDİRME
No full text7251 sayılı Kanun’la 6100 sayılı Hukuk MuhakemeleriKanunu’nun (HMK) birçok maddesinde ve aynı zamanda usûlle ilgili farklı kanunlarda değişiklik yapılmıştır. On yıl önce kabul edilenHMK’da bu değişiklikle birlikte yaklaşık yirmi değişiklik yapılmıştır.7251 sayılı Kanun’la yapılan değişiklikle HMK’da 47 madde değiştirilmiş olsa da gerçekten önemli sayılacak ve yararlı değişiklik neredeyse yoktur. Değişikliklerin önemli kısmı, uygulamada zaten bilinen,yargı kararlarıyla istikrar kazanmış ya da ifadeye ilişkin değişikliklerdir. Yapılan değişikliklerin bazıları ise HMK’nın genel sistemi ilesorunlu, adil yargılanma hakkını zedeleyen, ileride sorun doğuracakniteliktedir. Özellikle aleniyet ilkesiyle, belirsiz alacak davasıyla, önincelemeyle, iddia ve savunmanın genişletilmesi ve değiştirilmesiyle,tahkikat ve duruşmanın ses ve görüntü nakliyle yapılmasıyla, ıslahla,sözlü yargılamayla, istinafla ilgili hükümlerde, mevcut sistemi bozacak ve sorun doğuracak değişiklikler yapıldığı söylenebilir. Bunlarıniçinde özellikle istinafta yapılan değişiklikle ilk derece-istinaf-temyizsistemi bozulacak, istinaflar birer küçük temyize dönüşecek, istinafasıl işlevini kaybedecektir. Ayrıca değişikliklerin hazırlanış sürecindede katılımcı olmayan, konuyla ilgili görüş, eleştiri ve önerilerin yeterince değerlendirilmediği bir yöntem izlenmiştir. Reform adı altındaçıkartılan değişikliklerin, reform yönü bulunmadığı gibi sakıncalarıyararlarından daha çoktur. Bu çalışmada, 7251 sayılı Kanun’la sadece HMK’da yapılan değişiklikler, önce genel kapsamıyla sonra damaddeler çerçevesinde hem süreç hem de içerik olarak değerlendirilmektedir.In the Civil Procedure Code, many articles and also different laws related to the procedure have been amended by Law No. 7251. Approximately twenty changes will be made in the HMK, which was accepted ten years ago, with this amendment. Although 47 articles have been changed in the HMK with the amendment made by the Law No. 7251, there is almost no useful change that will be considered really important. The major part of the changes are those already known in practice, stabilized by judicial decisions or verbal changes. Some of the changes made are problematic with the general system of the HMK, damaging the right to a fair trial, and will cause problems in the future. Especially with the principle of publicity, uncertain debt action, preliminary examination, enlargement and modification of the claim and defense, making the investigation and hearing through voice and image transmission, correction, oral trial, and the provisions on appeal, it can be said that changes have been made that will disrupt the existing system and cause problems. Among them, the first degree-appeal system will be disrupted, circuit courts of appeal will turn into courts of cassation, and the appeal system will lose its original function. In addition, a non-participatory method, in which opinions, criticisms and suggestions on the issue were not adequately evaluated, was followed in the preparation process of the changes. The changes introduced under the name of reform do not have a reform direction and their drawbacks are more than their benefits. In this study, only the amendments made to the HMK by Law No. 7251 are evaluated both in terms of process and content, first in general scope and then within the framework of articles
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
