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
Experimental and numerical study of continuous reinforced concrete beams strengthened or repaired by bonding composite materials
No full textLe renforcement en flexion des poutres de béton armé par collage externe de matériaux composites s’est révélé être une technique efficace et pratique. Cette thèse présente une étude sur la performance à la flexion des poutres continues en béton armé avec trois travées réparées ou renforcées par collage de tissus en fibres de carbone (CFRP) ou en fibres de verre (GFRP). Le programme expérimental se compose de deux groupes. Le groupe-1 est composé de huit poutres et le groupe-2 est composé de huit poutres. Dans chaque groupe, il y a une poutre de référence, poutre non renforcée. Toutes les poutres ont la même longueur de 9m et la même section de 15x25 (cm). Les essais expérimentaux avec le chargement monotone ont été effectués à l’aide d’une presse de 1000 kN. Les paramètres étudiés sont : effet du renforcement par CFRP et GFRP, épaisseur optimale du renforcement, efficacité de la réparation des poutres endommagées par CFRP et GFRP, comportement mécanique, les modes de rupture des poutres continues en béton armé renforcées. Les essais experimentaux et des calculs par la simulation numérique ont été effectués. Cinq modes de rupture des poutres ont été observés. La résistance maximale d’une poutre peut être améliorée entre 14,8 et 33,0% dans le cas des poutres renforcées par collage de CFRP et entre 7,2 et 11,8% par collage de GFRP. Il existe d’une épaisseur optimale du renforcement dans les trois portées de la poutre. La poutre complètement endommagée peut être réparée à 100%. Le moment de flexion maximal de la poutre endommagée et réparée devient supérieur à celui de la poutre de référence. Une étude numérique, à l'aide de la méthode des éléments finis en utilisant le logiciel ABAQUS, sur les poutres continues en béton armé renforcées ont été également réalisée.The flexural strengthening of RC beams by external bonding of composite materials has proved to be an efficient and practical technique. This thesis presents a study on the flexural performance of reinforced concrete continuous beams with three spans repaired or strengthened by bonding carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) or glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP). The experimental program consists of two groups. Group-1 consists of eight beams and group-2 consists of eight beams. In each group, there is a reference beam, unreinforced beam. All beams have the same length of 9m and the same section of 15x25 (cm). The experimental tests with the monotonic loading were carried out using a 1000 kN press. The parameters studied are effect of reinforcement by CFRP and GFRP, the optimum thickness of the strengthening, repair efficiency of the beams damaged by CFRP and GFRP, mechanical behavior, the rupture modes of strengthened reinforced concrete beams. Experimental tests and calculations by numerical simulation were carried out. Five modes of the breaking of the beams were observed. The maximum strength of a beam can be improved by 14.8 and 33.0% for beams reinforced by CFRP bonding and between 7.2 and 11.8% by bonding GFRP. There is an optimum thickness of the reinforcement in the three spans of the beam. The fully damaged beam can be repaired at 100%. The maximum bending moment of the damaged and repaired beam becomes greater than that of the reference beam. A numerical study, using the finite element method with the help of ABAQUS software, on strengthening the continuous concrete beams, was also carried out
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
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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
