Beatriz Ashida. Arquitecta y paisajista
No full textEste artículo es el resultado de una primera aproximación a la obra de Ana Beatriz Ashida Ochoa, quien fue la primera arquitecta graduada de la Escuela de Arquitectura de Guadalajara, Jalisco, México. Beatriz Ashida, desde antes de ingresar a la carrera, mostró especial interés por la arquitectura del paisaje. Se graduó en 1965, fue docente de la escuela, proyectó jardines a diferentes escalas y colaboró junto con su esposo, el arquitecto Horst G. Hartung Franz, en algunas obras. Su trabajo de investigación se centró en el estudio de la historia, la teoría y la composición de espacios verdes –como ella los denominaba–. El artículo se construye a partir de fuentes primarias y la recopilación del material que ella publicó en periódicos y revistas de la época
Sustaining congressional engagement with Southeast Asia
No full textFor more about the East-West Center, see http://www.eastwestcenter.org/Erik Ashida, a former staffer for the US House Foreign Affairs Committee’s Subcommittee on International Development, International Organizations, and Global Corporate Social Impact, explains that Congress plays a vital role in sustaining long-term US foreign policy commitments to Southeast Asia via supporting executive initiatives, making symbolic gestures, and advancing its own policy agenda
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
No full text“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
No full textWe 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
O~(n^{1/3})-Space Algorithm for the Grid Graph Reachability Problem
No full textThe directed graph reachability problem takes as input an n-vertex directed graph G=(V,E), and two distinguished vertices s and t. The problem is to determine whether there exists a path from s to t in G. This is a canonical complete problem for class NL. Asano et al. proposed an O~(sqrt{n}) space and polynomial time algorithm for the directed grid and planar graph reachability problem. The main result of this paper is to show that the directed graph reachability problem restricted to grid graphs can be solved in polynomial time using only O~(n^{1/3}) space
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe 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
STUDY ON SEDIMENTATION IN RESERVOIRS
No full textSedimentation in reservoirs is very important subject, because it gives a large influence on theprocess of sediment transport and the change in water environment.This paper treats on the annual specific sediment yield, which is very useful index for theprediction of sedimentation, and also on the grain-size distribution of the sedimentation. Re-arrangement of data on sedimentation due to dams in Japan shows that the specific sediment yieldscan be classified to some groups and it is closely related to catchment area for every group.Taking up the data of sedimentation in the Syo River, a method to estimate the specific sedimentyield on the physical background is discussed in detail. The part due to the bed load transportamong the specific sediment yield can be estimated by the bed load formula such as by Ashida andMichiue. The part due to the suspended load transport is proportional to the relative area of land-slides and square of discharge.Some interesting characteristics for the logitudinal variation in grain-size distribution of sedi-mentation due to the dam are also presented from the discussion of the longitudinal variation ofshear stress and grain-size distribution feeded from landslides.Sedimentation in reservoirs is very important subject, because it gives a large influence on theprocess of sediment transport and the change in water environment.This paper treats on the annual specific sediment yield, which is very useful index for theprediction of sedimentation, and also on the grain-size distribution of the sedimentation.

Author, publisher and bookseller : a tripartite synergy in Nigerian book industry
No full textThis work is about the roles of Author, Publisher and Bookseller in Book development in
Nigeria. The paper started by delving into the history of Book Publishing in Nigeria after
which it proceeded by defining who an author, a publisher, and a bookseller is and
expatiated on the indispensable roles of these key actors in Nigerian Book Industry and in
the emerging Information Society. Furthermore, the various constraints to book
development were identified while the paper advised on how the Book Industry can be
further promoted in Nigeria. However, the paper concluded and made recommendations
on how the Book sector can help in enhancing scholarship in the country
