"Flavour Tagging and Systematics for Bs→J/ψϕ Measurement in ATLAS"
No full textPoster for the Beauty 2013 Conference in Bologna. Flavour tagging methods and the tagging informaton used in the mass-lifetime angular fit to perform the measurement of the CP-violating phase in the channel Bs→J/ψϕ, are presented. Study of systematic uncertainties is also shown by considering several effect that are not accounted for in the likelihood fit
"Flavour Tagging and Systematics for Measurement in ATLAS"
No full textThe ATLAS experiment sets an updated measurement of CP violation in the -meson system by studying the asymmetry of decays into final CP eigenstates, using a flavour tagged time-dependent analysis. Tagging the flavour of the initial-state -meson is of particular importance in removing ambiguity in the measurement of the weak mixing phase present in the previous untagged measurement. In this paper, the principles and performance of flavour tagging methods and modelling of systematic effects for measurement are presented. The analysis presented here uses LHC proton-proton data at TeV collected by the ATLAS detector in 2011
Study of the decay properties with the ATLAS experiment
No full textThe ATLAS detector at the LHC is collecting - among others - a large statistics of decays, allowing the study of production and decay properties of this -flavored hadron. This statistics is what allowed one of the most precise measurements of the lifetime. We will review ATLAS’ latest results on the decay properties of this baryon, including the measurement of the parity violating asymmetry parameter in J/, obtained from the study of angular correlations in the final state. The measurement is compared to predictions based on perturbative QCD and heavy quarks effective theory
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
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
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
