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
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

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
Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1902-1907
No full textIn this second volume of Author Under Sail Jay Williams investigates the life of Jack London as a professional writer at the turn of the 1900s, as his publications spanned The Call of the Wild to The Iron Heel and The Road. While documenting key life events, especially his rising fame, this biography explores London's necessity to illustrate the inner workings of his own vast imagination through his socialist essays and fiction.Cover -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.

Being a mindful and multidimensional literary figure he has specific fame in poetry. A distinguish diction in poetry is individuality specifically connected with his name. His ghazal contains all attributes of Research and criticism. Communication of an ordinary concept in his poetry is reflection of Aslam kolasri.

Analysis of gaze characteristics with eye tracking system during repeated breath holding exercises in underwater hockey elite athletes [Elit Sualti Hokeyi Sporcularinda Tekrarlanan Nefes Tutma Egzersizleri Esnasinda Göz Takip Sistemi Ile Bakis Karakteristikleri Analizi]
No full textNowadays eye-tracking technologies become an inherent part of scientific researches. By the use of eye-tracking systems scientists can detect eye movements and analyze human cognitive processing of visual information for interactive and diagnostic applications. The research of eye-tracking in sports concentrates on the performance of the athletes and how it is related to perceptual function. The purpose of these kind of studies is to plan the exercises in order to improve the performance of the athletes by training their vision and eye-tracking behaviour. In this study, it is planned to show the difference of the control group and elite underwater hockey athletes by analysing their eye-tracking systems and vision behaviour during breath holding exercises. A series of Images collected during shooting at the underwater hockey competetions were presented to the subjects. 30 photographs were shown to the elite athletes and the control group who were athletes in their past career in various sport branches but not active,anymore. Each photograph were shown in 2 seconds in the screen during holding their breath for 60 seconds. The paradigm is repeated in 4 set and it is expected to explore their previously-notified teammate with eyes-open and focused on different match images. By tracking the eye movements, the number of average eye fixation has been calculated. Although no differences have been observed in the first 3 phases, a significant distinction has been observed in phase 4. Thus, it provides advantage to the athlete group to reach the correct number by resisting the effects of breath holding arising from the branch at phase 4. Up to our knowledge this study is one of the promising studies. © 2016 IEEE
Self-similar regimes in Unstably Stratified Homogeneous Turbulence
No full textUnstably stratified homogeneous turbulence develops at late time a self-similar dynamics characterized by an exponential growth of turbulent quantities. It is believed from recent theoretical studies that different growth rates are possible, depending on the initial distribution of energy at large scales. In order to confirm these predictions, we run both highly resolved direct numerical simulations and a spectral model based on an eddy-damped quasi-normal closure. In addition to confirming the influence of initial conditions, our study sheds light on the anisotropic structures of the self-similar regimes
