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
ANALISIS PERUBAHAN MASSA BAHAN FISIL DAN NON FISIL DALAM TERAS PWR 1000 MWe DENGAN ORIGEN-ARP 5.1
Full text linkTeras reaktor merupakan tempat terjadinya reaksi pembelahan (fisi) yang terkendali. Komponen reaktor seperti bahan bakar, kelongsong (cladding) dan air pendingin memiliki peranan penting dalam keberlangsungan reaksi fisi. Reaksi fisi mengakibatkan terbentuknya sejumlah nuklida hasil fisi dan hasil aktivasi. Hasil fisi berasal dari reaksi tangkapan neutron termal dengan bahan fisil sedangkan hasil aktivasi berasal dari interaksi bahan non fisil seperti material kelongsong dan pendingin oleh neutron dan gamma. Pada setiap pengoperasian suatu reaktor, informasi perubahan massa bahan fisil dan non fisil sangat berguna untuk manajemen bahan bakar dalam teras, seperti pengaturan reaktivitas, optimasi dan pemuatan bahan bakar. Untuk itu perlu dilakukan penelitian mengenai perubahan bahan fisil dan non fisil tersebut dalam teras reaktor. Hal ini dapat dilakukan dengan mengamati perubahan massa dari material dalam teras reaktor. Penelitian ini memiliki tujuan untuk mengetahui perubahan massa unsur penyusun material dalam teras, seperti massa dari unsur penyusun elemen bahan bakar nuklir, kelongsong dan air pendingin setelah digunakan dalam teras. Dari perubahan massa tersebut dapat diketahui fraksi bakar atau tingkat konsumsi bahan bakar yang digunakan. Penelitian dilakukan pada basis reaktor PLTN tipe PWR buatan pabrikan asal Amerika Serikat berdaya 1000 MWe dengan menggunakan code penghitung inventori hasil fisi ORIGEN-ARP 5.1, yaitu versi terbaru dari ORIGEN dengan library khusus reaktor daya. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa bahan fisil U-235 mengalami pengurangan massa hingga 58% atau lebih dari separuhnya dari massa U-235 awal untuk tiap kali siklus operasi. Bahan fertil U-238 hanya mengalami pengurangan massa sekitar 2% dari massa awalnya tiap kali siklus operasi. Lain halnya dengan bahan non fisil yang mengalami perubahan massa yang berbeda-beda untuk tiap kali siklus operasinya yang tergantung pada tampang lintang aktivasi serta laju peluruhan dan pembentukan nuklida induk.

Reactor components such as fuel, cladding and cooling water have an important role in the sustainability of the fission reaction. Fission reaction causes the formation of a number of fission product nuclides and activation products. Fission product nuclides are produced from thermal neutron capture reaction of fissile material while the activation products are originated from interaction of non-fissile materials such as cladding material and coolant by neutron and gamma. At each of reactor operation, the information of fuel material changes in the form of non-fissile or fissile material, is very usefull for the management of core fuel, such as for reactivity control, optimization and loading of fuel. Hence, it needs to perform a research in the fissile and non-fissile material changes in the reactor core. This can be done by observing the change of material mass in the reactor core. The objective of this research is to determine the change in mass of material in the core, such as the mass of the nuclear fuel elements, cladding and cooling water after use in the core. From mass changes can be delivered to burn up calculation or fuel consumption level. The calculation were performed on the basis of the United States PWR 1000 MWe by using a fission inventory computer code of ORIGEN-ARP 5.1, a new version of ORIGEN with specific library for nuclear power plant. The analysis results show that the U-235 fissile material having a mass reduction up to 58% or more than half from the initial U-235 mass for each operation cycle period. Fertile material U-238 was reduced by about 2% only from the initial mass for each operating cycle period. For other cases, the non-fissile material case, mass changes reduced in various for each operation cycle, depend on activation cross-sections and decay and formation rate of parent nuclides.

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
