Introduction
No full textEnvironmental and global outlooks are currently at the center of the most lively and urgent international scholarship. This volume seeks to overcome the self-reference of American Studies by intersecting the study of American literature and history with the questions and concerns raised by these perspectives. It aims at re-conceptualizing the mutual and shifting positions of center(s) and margin(s), subject(s) and object(s) in terms of relation and particularly of an inclusive structure of relations based on an ecological ethics. The essays explore many methodological hypotheses, ranging from Christa Greve-Vollp’s work on eco-cosmopolitanism to Peter Bardaglio’s report on US climate activism to the ecocritical and ecofeminist viewpoints of Scott Slovic and Greta Gaard respectively. In addition to contributing to academic discourse, the essays – written both by young and by established international scholars and coherently arranged in four thematic sections – explore topics that are in some measure of interest to the broader public: identity and new forms of belonging; migration and environment; ecolanguage, ecopoetry and ecopoetics; translation and multilingualism; animal studies; environmental activism; shifting geographies; ecofeminism

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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

The Class of Implicit-explicit General Linear Methods for Ordinary Differential Equations
No full textThe class of implicit-explicit (IMEX) methods are numerical scheme designed for numerical solution of ordinary differential systems with splitting of the right hand sides of the differential systems into two parts, one of which is non-stiff or mildly stiff, and suitable for explicit time integration, and the other part is stiff, and suitable for implicit time integration.
We described the construction of IMEX general linear methods with desired stability properties. Under suitable assumptions such as the form of coefficient matrices, order and stage order of methods, the form of stability function we attempt to maximize the combined region of absolute stability. Finally, we apply constructed methods to a series of test problems.
