The Alexandersson test for homogeneity of temperature data: a case study for the Northern Great Plains

In order to obtain the most definitive results, the time series being analyzed must be homogeneous. A homogeneous time series is one in which trends and variations are caused by effects of weather and climate. The concept of homogeneity has been addressed by some researchers, but only as a mention that the results may contain some biases due to the inhomogeneities in the data being studied. In addition, researchers that have addressed this homogeneity problem have only tested "average" time series such as the means and the annuals. This thesis utilizes a homogeneity test developed by Alexandersson (1986) and applies it to mean monthly maximum and minimum temperature data from 22 stations in the Northern Great Plains. The Alexandersson test locates where a break or discontinuity occurs and whether or not it is significant. A theoretical and numerous practical aspects are examined. The theoretical aspect studied is the question of whether or not a temperature series with one significant break has a constant variance throughout its entire record. An F-test is used to compare the variances and determine if there is a significant difference between them. The results show that some series do not have a constant variance throughout and this difference may effect the standardization procedure used in the Alexandersson test. The practical aspects studied include data type and temporal comparisons. The results of these analyses show that a break point found in a station's means or annual is not always the same break point found in that station's maximums or minimums and each individual months respectively. Finally, an adjustment procedure is discussed and applied to selected series, and it is shown that the annual adjustment is not the same as the adjustment for the individual months. In addition, the monthly adjustments show a seasonal pattern and when summed, equal the annual adjustment

Resonant Spaces: Electroacoustic Music and Ritual: A commentary on my recent music.
No full textThe following portfolio and commentary concerns music and performance works created between 2008 and 2012, and an exposition of the research, ideas, aesthetics and techniques that connect
these works. I will discuss in detail the role that archaeoacoustics has played in my composition of fixed and mixed media works and how it has influenced me aesthetically in my approach to live performance. I will also explain in each instance any actual data used from various research sources, and my metaphorical interpretation of various archaeological sites and acoustic phenomena. Similarly, I will discuss the concepts of shamanism, ritual and transcendence that have influenced me, and how these concepts are expressed in my instrumental works, fixed media and live performance pieces

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe 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
