Duplication-free tableau calculi and related cut-free sequent calculi for the interpolable propositional intermediate logics
No full textAlmost Duplication-Free Tableau Calculi for Propositional Lax Logics
No full textIn this paper we provide tableau calculi for the intuitionistic modal logics LAX and LAX1, where the calculus for LAX1 is duplication-free while among the rules for LAX there is just one rule that allows duplication of formulas. These logics have been investigated by Fairtlough and Mendler in relation to the problem of Formal Hardware Verification. In order to develop these calculi we extend to the modal case some ideas presented by Miglioli, Moscato and Ornaghi for intuitionistic logic. Namely, we enlarge the language containing the usual sings T and F with the new sign Fc. LAX and LAX1 logics are characterized by a Kripke-semantics which is a ``weak" version of the semantics for ordinary intuitionistic modal logics. In this paper we establish the soundness and completeness theorems for these calculi
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
Synthesis of programs in abstract data types
No full textIn this paper we propose a method for program synthesis from constructive proofs based on a particular proof strategy, we call dischargeable set construction. This proof-strategy allows to build proofs in which active patterns (sequences of application of rules with proper computational content) can be distinguished from correctness patterns (concerning correctness properties of the algorithm implicitly contained in the proof). The synthesis method associates with every active pattern of the proof a program schema (in an imperative language) translating only the computational content of the proof. One of the main features of our method is that it can be applied to a variety of theories formalizing ADT's and classes of ADT's. Here we will discuss the method and the computational content of some principles of particular interest in the context of some classes of ADT's
Variations on the Author
Full text link“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
Full text linkWe 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
Full text linkWe 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
