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
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
Engineering Sustainability: The Development of Design Criteria and Policy for Electric Motor Recycling
Get PDFDenne masteroppgaven fremhever betydningen av bærekraftig design i sammenheng med resirkulering av elektriske motorer. Gitt det økende antallet av elektriske motorer, fokuserer denne studien på utviklingen av designkriterier for resirkulering og etableringen av en resirkuleringspolicy, med et spesielt fokus på Alva Industries.
Metodene som ble benyttet inkluderer en omfattende litteraturstudie, bedriftsundersøkelser, intervjuer og en detaljert case-studie hos Stena Recycling. Analysen av informasjonen hentet fra disse kildene gir innsikt i dagens resirkuleringsprosess og identifiserer utfordringene og mulighetene forbundet med bærekraftig håndtering av elektriske motorer ved slutten av deres levetid. På grunnlag av disse funnene ble det utviklet en policy for resirkulering og gjenbruk. En litteraturgjennomgang av sammensetningsteknikker og materialer dannet grunnlaget for de etablerte designkriteriene.
Resultatene fra denne oppgaven har resultert i en policy som Alva Industries kan benytte for å øke oppmerksomheten rundt resirkulering og iverksette tiltak for å etablere en robust resirkuleringskultur. De etablerte designkriteriene kan bidra til informerte designvalg for fremtidige elektriske motorer, med mål om å effektivisere og øke resirkulerbarheten. Potensialet for fremtidig forskning er også identifisert, som for eksempel utforskning av nye materialer og monteringsmetoder for implementering i Alva Industries' elektriske motorer.
Policyen og case-studien illustrerer resirkuleringsmulighetene og kan hjelpe bedrifter med å oppdage ukjente resirkuleringsmuligheter. Studien bidrar teoretisk til forståelsen av den nåværende resirkuleringsprosessen for elektriske motorer og hvordan den kan forbedres.
Studien har imidlertid noen begrensninger. Tilgangen til detaljert informasjon om design og spesifikk epoxy-resin-blanding var begrenset på grunn av immaterielle rettigheter, noe som gjorde sammenligning med potensielle alternativer utfordrende. Det var også utfordrende å finne relevante kostnadsdata, spesielt knyttet til produksjon og transport av resirkulerte og råmaterialer.
Samlet sett baner denne studien vei mot en mer bærekraftig fremtid for produksjonen av elektriske motorer ved å fremheve betydningen av bærekraftig design og resirkulering. Det er et håp om at funnene vil inspirere ytterligere forskning og innovasjon innen dette feltet.This master's thesis underscores the importance of sustainable design in relation to the recycling of electric motors. Given the escalating number of electric motors, this study focuses on the development of recycling-oriented design criteria and the establishment of a recycling policy, with particular emphasis on Alva Industries.
The methods employed include a comprehensive literature review, business surveys, interviews, and a detailed case study at Stena Recycling. The analysis of the information gathered from these sources provides insight into the current recycling process and identifies the challenges and opportunities associated with the sustainable management of end-of-life electric motors. Based on these findings, a policy for recycling and reuse was developed. A literature review of assembly techniques and materials formed the basis for the established design criteria.
The results of this work have resulted in a policy that Alva Industries can use to raise awareness around recycling and initiate measures to establish a robust recycling culture. The established design criteria can contribute to informed design choices for future electric motors, with the goal of optimizing and increasing recyclability. The potential for future research is also identified, such as exploring new materials and assembly methods for implementation in Alva Industries' electric motors.
The policy and case study illustrates recycling possibilities and can assist companies in discovering unknown recycling opportunities. The study theoretically contributes to the understanding of the current recycling process for electric motors and how it can be improved.
However, the study has some limitations. Access to detailed information on design and a specific epoxy resin blend was limited due to intellectual property rights, making comparisons with potential alternatives challenging. Finding relevant cost data, especially related to the production and transportation of recycled and raw materials was also challenging.
Overall, by highlighting the significance of environmentally friendly design and recycling, this study establishes the way for the electric motor manufacturing industry that is more sustainable in the future. The results may encourage additional study and development in this area
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.
