Albert Fathi. On Aspects of Ancient Poetry
No full textThe reader is offered the first archival publication of an article by Tatar archeographer Albert Fathi (1937 – 1992) about anonymous Tatar poetry of the18th–19th centuries. The article contains the texts of individual poems, extracted from manuscripts, as well as detailed historical and philological comments on them. These fragments of poems are of great interest for the study of folk literacy and the existence of literary texts in a wide circle of Muslims of the Russian Empire

PDE aspects of Aubry-Mather theory for quasiconvex Hamiltonians
No full textWe propose a PDE approach to the Aubry-Mather theory using viscosity solutions. This allows to treat Hamiltonians (on the flat torus T-N) just coercive. continuous and quasiconvex, for which a Hamiltonian flow cannot necessarily be defined. The analysis is focused on the family of Hamilton-Jacobi equations H(x, Du) = a with a real parameter, and in particular on the unique equation of the family. corresponding to the so-called critical value a = c, for which there is a viscosity solution on T-N. We define generalized projected Aubry and Mather sets and recover several properties of these sets holding for regular Hamiltonians
PDE and Dynamical Methods to Weakly Coupled Hamilton-Jacobi Systems
No full textThis thesis is concerned with degenerate weakly coupled systems of Hamilton-Jacobi equations,
imposed on flat torus, using both PDE and dynamical methods. The PDE approach relies
essentially on control and viscosity solutions tools. Our main contribution is the construction of
an algorithm through which we can get a critical solution to the system as limit of monotonic
sequence of subsolutions and we also adapt the algorithm to non compact setting. Moreover,
we get a characterization of isolated points of the Aubry set and establish semi-concavity type
estimates for critical subsolution. A crucial step in our work is to reduce our analysis from
systems into either scalar Eikonal equations or discounted ones. Whereas, in the dynamical
approach we use the random frame introduced by H.Mitake, A.Siconolfi, H.V. Tran, and N. Yamada to provide a cycle condition characterizing
the points of Aubry set. This generalizes a property already known in the scalar case
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
