Quarter tone techniques used on western flute in 'Orange Dawn' by Ian Clarke / Arif Ismail Shamsuri.
Get PDFQuarter-tone is a type of pitch that exist in musical sound. It can be defined as the tone that was generated between the half-tones. This type of tone, which is quarter-tone, often can be heard in Middle-East music especially in Arabic music. In Arabic music, the scale of a piece was also different and have own named such as, Hijaz Scale, Maqam Scale and other. In Western music, quarter-tones were rarely used in a piece. Quartertone just can be found in modern music. However, a composer named Ian Clarke, managed to implicate quarter-tone in flute playing. There were several of his works that have quarter-tone techniques include in his composition. For this study, the author had select one of Clarke's composition entitled, 'Orange Dawn'. This piece contains the note that need to be played as quarter-tone. The main purpose of this study is to investigate the quarter-tone techniques used on Western flute playing in 'Orange Dawn' piece, and to find out the approach to practice the quarter-tones techniques on the Western flute playing in 'Orange Dawn' piece, composed by Ian Clarke. Several interviews have been done by the author in order to get the finding of the study. The interview was conducted among two flutes lecturers, and four flutes students, in the Faculty of Music, UiTM Shah Alam. The author uses semi-structured method of questionnaire to interview the participants. There were six to seven questionnaire had been asked to every participant. The author also analyse the 'Orange Dawn' score in order to investigate the quarter-tone in the piece. The preliminary result shows that the composer uses the quarter-tone in the piece because he wants to create an atmosphere and tried to implicate the environment of the dawn for the listener. The author also found that the fingering chart have been provided in the score by the composer for the flutist to be able to play the quarter-tone notes. Following some in-depth analysis, some recommendations for the study are presented
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
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
