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
Emotion profiling using deep learning
No full textIndividuals diagnosed with distress disorders exhibit heightened levels of negative affective factors that stem from underlying motivational systems associated with threat, safety, and loss of rewards. Emotion Regulation Therapy (ERT) is a psychotherapeutic approach that seeks to enhance the patient’s awareness of their motivational processes, develop their emotional regulation capacities, and facilitate new contextual learning. Neurofeedback training usingEEGhas showna potential to be employed as a therapeutic
tool for emotion regulation and thereby improve the efficiency of Emotion Regulation Therapy. This technique involves providing real-time feedback to individuals about their brainwave activity while they engage in specific emotion regulation tasks. By using this feedback, individuals can learn to regulate their brainwave activity and, in turn, their emotional responses. Neurofeedback training relies on Emotion Recognition Systems for identifying the brainwave patterns associated with different emotional states and studying the neural mechanisms involved in emotion regulation.
Motivated by the utility of emotion recognition in the treatment of mental health issues, this project aims to explore how emotion regulation therapy or music therapy can be made more effective with the help of EEG. The project involves the development of an emotion recognition system for studying how brain activity, recorded using EEG, varies with emotions. This is achieved by collecting data through experiments that attempted to induce different states of emotions using various music stimuli. This data is then analyzed to ensure emotions are induced and brain activities corresponding to different
stimuli are distinguishable. Emotion states are then classified by a CNN-based deep neural network and a maximum accuracy of 69% is achieved.Bachelor of Engineering (Computer Science
Gouttes, perles et filaments de gel sous déformations extrêmes
No full textWe investigate the behavior of transient self-assembled and permanently crosslinked gels subjected to extreme mechanical stresses. On the one hand, we study the dynamics of freely expanding sheets produced by impacting a (Newtonian or viscoelastic) liquid drop or a bead of polymeric gel on solid surfaces in minimal dissipation conditions, achieved using either a small solid target or a repellent surface. Upon impact, the drop or bead is transformed into a thin sheet that expands and retracts due to elasticity. For viscoelastic fluids with a relaxation time smaller than the typical lifetime of the sheet, the dynamics of the viscoelastic sheet is similar to that of Newtonian liquids with equal viscosity. The maximal expansion of the sheet decreases with the viscosity and is quantitatively modeled using an energy balance between inertia, surface tension and viscous shear dissipation on the solid target that can be accounted by measuring an effective velocity of the expanding sheet at short time scale. We further show that the shear dissipation can be substantially eliminated by performing impact experiments on a solid surface based on an inverse Leidenfrost effect. Experiments performed using elastic beads of various elastic moduli, viscoelastic or liquid drops of various surface tensions reveal a universal scaling behavior of the maximum expansion with the impact velocity, with a dynamics that mimics that of a conventional spring-mass system. We furthermore show that, for drops impacting a solid target, a similar scaling holds once the viscous dissipation is accounted by replacing the impact velocity with the effective velocity. Another fascinating behavior of viscoelastic fluids is a heterogeneous expansion of the sheet with the occurrence of cracks, revealing the elastic nature of the viscoelastic fluid. On the other hand, we study the uniaxial deformation and the fracture of reversible double transient networks by coupling extensional rheology to fast imaging. We provide a state diagram that delineates the regime of fracture without necking of the filament, when it is stretched at a rate larger than the inverse of the slowest relaxation time of the networks. We quantitatively demonstrate that dissipation processes are not relevant in our experimental conditions and that, depending on the density of nodes in the networks, fracture occurs in the linear elastic regime, or in a non-linear elastic regime preceded by a considerable strain hardening. In addition, analysis of the crack opening profiles indicates, for weakly connected networks, deviations from a parabolic shape close to the crack tip, which is expected for the linear elasticity of a brittle fracture. We demonstrate a direct correlation between the amplitude of the deviation from the parabolic shape and the amount of non-linear elasticity.Nous étudions le comportement de gels, transitoires auto-assemblés et réticulés permanents, soumis à des contraintes mécaniques extrêmes. D'une part, nous étudions la déformation biaxiale de nappes libres produites par impact d'une goutte liquide (Newtonienne ou viscoélastique) ou d’une perle de gel polymère sur des surfaces solides dans des conditions de dissipation minimale, obtenues soit avec une petite cible solide, soit avec une surface répulsive. Lors de l'impact, la goutte ou perle est transformée en une nappe mince qui s’étend et se rétracte sous l’action de forces de rappel élastiques. Pour les fluides viscoélastiques avec un temps de relaxation plus petit que la durée de vie typique de la nappe, la dynamique de la nappe viscoélastique est similaire à d’un liquide visqueux Newtonien de même viscosité. L’expansion maximale de la nappe diminue avec la viscosité et est modélisée quantitativement en utilisant un bilan énergétique entre l'inertie, la tension superficielle et la dissipation du cisaillement visqueux sur la cible solide, qui peut être prise en compte en mesurant une vitesse effective de la nappe à temps court, en sortie de cible. Nous montrons en outre que la dissipation visqueuse peut être sensiblement éliminée en utilisant une surface solide sur la base d'un effet de Leidenfrost inverse. Les expériences effectuées à l'aide de perles élastiques de modules élastiques variables, de gouttes liquides de tensions superficielles variables et de gouttes viscoélastiques révèlent un comportement universel pour l’expansion maximale de la nappe avec la vitesse d'impact, avec une dynamique analogue à celle d'un système ressort-masse conventionnel. Nous montrons en outre que, pour les gouttes qui impactent une petite cible solide, une description similaire peut être utilisée une fois que la dissipation visqueuse est prise en compte en remplaçant la vitesse d'impact par la vitesse effective. Un autre comportement fascinant des fluides viscoélastiques est l’expansion hétérogène de la nappe associée à l’apparition de fissures, révélant la nature élastique du fluide viscoélastique. D’autre part, nous étudions la déformation uniaxiale et la facture de filaments de doubles réseaux transitoires en couplant rhéométrie extensionnelle et imagerie rapide des filaments étirés. Nous établissons un diagramme d'état qui délimite le régime de du filament, lorsqu'il est étiré à un taux supérieur à l'inverse du temps de relaxation du plus lent des deux réseaux. Nous démontrons quantitativement que les processus de dissipation ne sont pas pertinents dans nos conditions expérimentales et que, suivant la densité des nœuds dans les réseaux, la rupture se produit dans le régime élastique linéaire, ou non linéaire précédé d'une augmentation considérable de la viscosité extensionnelle. L'analyse des profils d'ouverture des fissures indique, pour des réseaux faiblement connectés, des écarts par rapport à une forme parabolique en pointe de fissure, caractéristique d’une fracture fragile en régime linéaire. Nous montrons une corrélation directe entre l'amplitude de la déviation de la forme parabolique et le caractère non linéaire de la déformation élastique
