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
Exploiting the phenomenology of flavourful Z′ models
Get PDFThis thesis comprises recent studies on extensions of the standard model (SM) involving a heavy
Z’ boson. In the SM, flavour-changing neutral current (FCNC) quark transitions only appear at loop level and are highly suppressed. This puts forward flavourful Z’ models, where the new gauge boson couples non-universally to the known quarks and leptons at tree level. The models are able address the persistent deviations of the SM seen in observables of rare B-meson decays referred to as the
B-anomalies. By supplementing the particle content of the SM with new scalars and vector-like fermions, the occurrence of putative Landau poles present in general Z’ scenarios can be averted. We discuss dedicated models in the context of the B-anomalies that allow for a stable and predictive theory up to the Planck scale. Moreover, flavour rotations also enable FCNC transitions in the charm sector, where the resonance pollution in branching ratios of semileptonic decays demands null test observables sensitive to physics beyond the SM. We investigate effects in such decays and present unique correlations to CP-violating observables in hadronic decays, accessible with future measurements by the LHCb and Belle II experiments. Recent studies involving dineutrino modes are discussed as well. We exploit an interplay between neutrino and charged lepton couplings within the SM effective field theory approach that connects decays of opposite flavour sectors. In doing so, we derive limits on diverse sets of dineutrino branching ratios and find novel tests of lepton universality using data from global fits of the B-anomalies.Die vorliegende Dissertation umfasst Studien zur Erweiterung des Standardmodells durch ein schweres Z’-Boson. Flavour-verändernde neutrale Ströme (FCNCs) von Quarkübergängen treten im Standardmodell in höheren Ordnungen auf und sind stark unterdrückt. Die Implementation von
Z’-Modellen ermöglicht solche Übergänge auf Baumgraphen-Niveau, induziert durch nicht-universelle Kopplungen an die bekannten Quarks und Leptonen. Dies liefert eine mögliche Erklärung der Diskrepanzen zwischen theoretischer Vorhersage und Messung in Observablen von seltenen B-Meson-Zerfällen, den sogenannten B-Anomalien. Das Auftreten von Landau-Polen in eben solchen Theorien kann durch das Hinzufügen von neuen Teilchen zum Standardmodell-Spektrum abgewendet
werden. In dieser Arbeit untersuchen wir ausgewählte Modelle, die eine direkte Erklärung der
B-Anomalien liefern und zusätzlich eine stabile Vorhersagekraft durch Abwesenheit von Polen und Instabilitäten bis zur Planck-Skala innehaben. Auch in seltenen charm Zerfällen können erhebliche Beträge zu FCNCs durch das Z’-Boson generiert werden. In diesem Sektor spielt das Aufstellen von null tests des Standardmodells, sensitiv zu Effekten neuer Physik, eine besondere Rolle, da unter anderem semi-leptonische Verzweigungsverhältnisse durch die Verunreinigung von auftretenden Resonanzen schwer zugänglich sind. Wir befassen uns deshalb außerdem mit der Erforschung von Effekten neuer Physik in diesen Zerfällen und erarbeiten eindeutige Korrelationen zwischen CP-verletzenden Observablen, welche mit zukünftigen Messungen von den Experimenten LHCb und Belle II überprüft werden können. Wir präsentieren außerdem neue Studien zu Teilchenzerfällen in zwei Neutrinos. Durch das Zusammenspiel zwischen Kopplungen von geladenen Leptonen und Neutrinos unter Zuhilfenahme der effektiven Feldtheorie des Standardmodells bestimmen wir obere Grenzen an eine Vielzahl von Neutrino-Verzweigungsverhältnissen, und entwickeln neue Tests der Lepton-Universalität
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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
