The evolution of the Asian Plate in Burma
No full textDie postkretazische Entwicklung der Asiatischen Platte in Burma zeigt starke Beeinflussung durch die Spreizung des östlichen Indischen Ozeans und die Drift von „Groß-Indien“ nach Norden. Der westliche Abschnitt Burmas war während des frühen Mesozoikums ein Bereich, der klastische Sedimente aufnahm. Im späten Mesozoikum wurden die östlichen Teile Burmas landfest, während die westlichen Abschnitte von einem Shelfmeer eingenommen wurden, an welches sich gegen W eine Geosynklinale (Indoburman Geosyncline) anschloß, die langsam westwärts wanderte. Oberkretazische Flysche wurden hier nachgewiesen. Die Kollision der Indischen Platte mit der Asiatischen Platte veränderte die Sedimentationsbedingungen in Burma. Die Indoburmanischen Ketten tauchten während des Miozän auf, bildeten einen Äußeren Inselbogen und ließen die Bucht von Bengalen entstehen. Die Subduktion entlang der W-Küste von Burma änderte sich im N mit der Annäherung der kontinentalen Kruste Indiens und führte zu Überschiebungen im N-Teil der Indoburmanischen Ketten. Rezent scheint Subduktion nur südlich 18° N im östlichen Teil der Bucht von Bengalen aktiv zu sein. Die Öffnung der Andamanen-See fügt sich in die dynamische Entwicklung dieses Bereiches ein.The Post-Cretaceous evolution of the Asian Plate in Burma is strongly influenced by the spreading of the Eastern Indian Ocean and the movement of “Greater India” northward. The Western part of Burma apparently was an area which received clastic sediments during the early mesozoic times. During the end of the mesozoic the Eastern part of Burma emerged from the ocean. The Western part formed the shelf area with a slowly westwards migrating geosyncline (Indoburman Geosyncline) to the West of it. Flysch sediments of upper Cretaceous age have been found in this area. The collision of the Indian Plate with the Asian Plate changed the sedimentary conditions in Burma. The emergence of the Indoburman Ranges happened during the Miocene, generating an Outer Island Arc and forming the Bay of Bengal. The subduction along the W coast of Burma changed in the N with the approach of continental Indian crust and led to thrusts in the N part of the Indoburman Ranges. Today subduction appears to be active only S of 18° N in the Eastern Bay of Bengal. The opening of the Andaman Sea fits into the dynamical development of the area.L'évolution postcrétacée de la plaque asiatique en Birmanie est fortement influencée par l'accroissement de l'Océan Indien oriental et la dérive du continent Indien vers le nord. La partie occidentale de la Birmanie fût au début du Mésozoïque une aire de réception de sédiments clastiques. A la fin du Mésozoïque les parties orientales de la Birmanie se transformèrent en terre ferme, tandis que les régions occidentales furent submergées, formant une plate-forme continentale (shelf), à laquelle s'adjoignit vers l'ouest un géosynclinal (géosynclinal indobirman), progressant lentement vers l'ouest. Des flyschs d'âge crétacé supérieur ont été décrits dans cette zone. La collision entre la plaque Indienne et la plaque Asiatique changea les conditions de sédimentation en Birmanie. Les chaînes Indobirmanes firent leur émersion au cours du Miocène, en engendrant un arc insulaire externe, ainsi que le golfe du Bengale. La subduction le long de la côte occidentale Birmane se transforma au nord avec le rapprochement de la plaque Indienne et induisit des chevauchements dans la partie septentrionale des chaînes Indobirmanes. La subduction semble n'être active récemment qu'au sud de 18° N dans la partie orientale du golfe du Bengale. L'ouverture de la mer Andamane s'imbrique dans le développement dynamique de cette région.Послемеловое развит ие азиатской платфор мы в Бирме характеризуется сильным слиянием рас ширения восточного И ндийского океана и дрейфом „великой Индии“ на се вер. Западная часть Би рмы была во время раннего мезозоя тем местом, ку да сносились кластич еские осадочные породы. В по зднем мезозое восточная Би рма оказалась сушей, в то время, как западную часть еë заняло шельф овое море, к которому п римыкала идущая на запад геосинклиналь (Индоб ирманская геосинкли наль), медленно сдвигающая ся на запад. Здесь устано влены верхнемеловые флиши. Коллизия индийской плиты с азиатской изм енила условия осадко накопления в Бирме. Во время миоцена появля ются индо-бирманские цепи гор, образуя внешнюю островную дугу, в резу льтате чего образует ся Бенгальский залив. Со сближением континентальной кор ы Индии изменяется за сасывание ее вдоль западного побережья Бирмы на севере и прив одит к появлению нарушений в северной части индо-бирманских гор. В наст оящее время субдукция каже тся активной только на юг от 18° северной широты в восточной части Бенгальской бухты. Открытие озера Андаманен связано с д инамикой развития в этой области

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
