Un aquifère gypseux de haute montagne. Mesures physico-chimiques et traçage dans la vallée de Gébroulaz (Vanoise, France)
No full textA gypsum aquifer in high mountain : physico-chemical measurements and tracer test in the Gébroulaz valley (Vanoise, France). During the high flow period of summer 1995, conductivity and temperature were periodically measured in two losses and five springs along a gypsum and anhydrite outcrop in the Gébroulaz valley. These experiments together with a water chemical analysis and an artificial tracer test have highlighted two kinds of flows through the evaporitic formations. The springs are characterised by a rapid flow directly influenced by the infiltration of melt water in a surficial karst. A slower flow shows a deeper circulation through a saturated and fissured milieu. So, in a high mountaneous area, the gypsum layer shows a surficial karst over a fissured aquifer. This interpretation allows us to explain the stability of the physico-chemical parameters for the springs which are not influenced by karstic flow conditions.Un suivi au cours du temps de la conductivité et de la température de deux pertes et cinq sources issues d'affleurements de gypse et d'anhydrite le long de la vallée glaciaire de Gébroulaz a été réalisé durant la période de hautes eaux de l'été 1995. Complété par une analyse chimique et un traçage à la fluorescéine, ce suivi a permis de mettre en évidence deux types d'écoulements au sein des formations évaporitiques. Un écoulement rapide caractérise les émergences directement influencées par l'infiltration des eaux de fonte glacio-nivale dans le karst superficiel. Un écoulement plus lent met en évidence une circulation dans un milieu noyé de type fissuré. Les gypses et anhydrites présentent ici, en zone de haute montagne, un milieu karstique superficiel surmontant un milieu à perméabilité de fissures. Ce schéma permet d'obtenir des sources caractérisées soit par une stabilité, soit par une grande variation des paramètres physico-chimiques au cours du temps.Dzikowski Marc, Nicoud Gérard, Arfib Bruno, Paillet André, Rovera Georges.

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
Flow and storage capacities assessement of a dynamic karst aquifer by geological characterization and rainfall-discharge modeling : sources of Dardennes, Toulon, France
No full textCette thèse a pour but de contribuer à l’étude des aquifères karstiques en (1) identifiant les facteurs influençants le stockage et l’écoulement de l’eau souterraine et en (2) localisant et estimant de manière quantitative les ressources en eau au sein d’une série carbonatée. Cette étude a été réalisée sur l’aquifère de Dardennes, près de Toulon, en France. L’eau de l’aquifère est utilisée pour l’alimentation en eau potable et alimente le fleuve Las, susceptible de provoquer de fortes crues. Le bassin versant de l’aquifère est estimé à 70 km². Des mesures de porosité et de géochimie isotopique sur les roches carbonatées sont mises en relation dans le but de localiser et d’expliquer les vides créés au sein de la série sédimentaire. Des coupes équilibrées et des analyses structurales ont été réalisées pour évaluer la géométrie de l’aquifère. L’acquisition de données en continu (CTD) et de données hydrochimiques permet d’étudier le dynamisme et le fonctionnement de l'aquifère. Une approche de modélisation pluie-débit avec la plateforme de modélisation KarstMod, basée sur les chroniques de précipitations et de débits sur trois années a été utilisée afin d’estimer la part de l’écoulement disponible pour l’eau potable et celle générant des crues éclair. Une déconvolution du débit des sources a été effectuée à l’échelle annuelle et à l’échelle des crues. Les résultats du modèle ont été comparés avec la gestion actuelle de l’aquifère, montrant une exploitation actuelle équilibrée, et ouvrant des perspectives pour la mise en place d’une gestion active, combinant une exploitation plus importante de l’eau, un écrêtage des crues et un respect de l’écologie du cours d’eau en aval.The aim of this PhD is to contribute to the karst aquifers understanding by (1) identifying the factors influencing the groundwater storage and flow and by (2) locating and quantitatively estimating water resources within the carbonate sedimentary series. This study was conducted on the Dardennes aquifer near Toulon, France. The aquifer water is used for the supply of drinking water and feeds the Las River, which can cause important floods. The recharge area of the aquifer is estimated at 70 km². Measurements of porosity and isotopic geochemistry on carbonate rocks are related in order to locate and explain the voids created within the sedimentary series. Balanced cross-sections and structural analyses were performed to evaluate the geometry of the aquifer at depth. Continuous data acquisition (specific conductivity, temperature and water depth-pressure) and hydrochemical data (major ions, stables isotopes of water and carbon-13) allow to study the aquifer dynamism and functioning. A daily rainfall-discharge modeling approach was used with the KarstMod platform to estimate the flow part available for drinking water and the part that generates karst flash-floods. A hydrograph separation of springs discharge was carried out at annual and floods scales. Model results have been compared with the current groundwater management, showing a balanced current exploitation. In new perspective, it would be interesting to establish active management, combining a greater groundwater exploitation, floods mitigation and stream ecology respect
