Seismic refraction and wide-angle reflection OBS data from profile P05 during SONNE cruise SO267 (ARCHIMEDES), Lau Basin
No full textThe dataset contains ocean bottom hydrophone (OBH) data acquired along profile P05 during RV Sonne Expedition SO267 (project ARCHIMEDES) to the Lau Basin, Southwestern Pacific in December 2018. This seismic refraction data set contains 34 OBS that all recorded the shots along the ~220 km long seismic transect successfully. Data for two different shot intervals (50m and 150m) were acquired shooting from east to west and from west to east respectively. An 84 l airgun array served as seismic source that was towed behind the vessel 8 m below sea surface. The data were processed using standard methods for relocation of the instrument at the seafloor, clock drift correction, deconvolution and filtering

Du rifting continental aux marges conjuguées : aperçus de la modélisation analogique et numérique
No full textThe South Atlantic conjugate margins are the product of continental rifting and break-up of Pangea, which was made up of different crustal features prior to rifting. This study investigates continental rift initiation and break-up of alternative lithospheric setups, consisting of large segments with different rheological strength, with the use of analogue and numerical modelling. The analogue models investigate the effect of far-field forces on a system that consist of multiple rheological segments, whereas the numerical models include thermal processes and focus on the impact of initial plume emplacement on such a setup.Lithosphere-scale analogue models consisting of two different rheological compartments have been subjected to extensional forces, to understand effect of far-field forces on large rheological heterogeneities in a system within an extensional tectonic regime. The results show that in such a system, the weaker segment accommodates all the extension. At the contact between the two compartments no rift-initiation is observed. In the presence of a strong sub-Moho mantle, the rift evolution consists of two phases. The first phase is a wide or distributed rift event. Once the strong part of the upper mantle has sufficiently weakened, the rift localizes and a narrow rift continues to accommodate the extension. If extension would continue, break-up would happen at the location of the narrow rift, thereby breaking a rather homogenous part within a laterally heterogeneous system. This would result in asymmetric margins with hyperextended, weak crust on both margins.The numerical results show that, in the case of plume-induced continental break-up, the classical ‘central’ mode of break-up, where the break-up centre develops above the plume-impingement point is not the only form of continental break-up. When the mantle anomaly is located off-set from the contact between rheological segments, a ‘shifted’ mode of break-up may develop. In this case, the mantle plume material rises to the base of the lithosphere and migrates laterally to the contact between two rheological segments where rifting initiates. Mantle material that does not reach the spreading centre and remains at lower crustal depths, resemble high density/high velocity bodies at depth found along the South Atlantic margin and providing geometric asymmetry.Further investigation on the exact influence of the initial plume position with respect to the contact between the rheological compartments shows that there is a critical distance for which the system develops either ‘central’ (or ‘plume-induced’) continental break-up or ‘shifted’ (or ‘structural inherited’) continental break-up. For Moho temperatures of 500 – 600 oC, there is a window of ~50 km where the system creates two break-up branches. These results explain complex rift systems with both vertical penetration of plume material into the overlying lithosphere as well as reactivated inherited structures developing break-up systems both aided by the same mantle plume...Les marges conjuguées de l'Atlantique Sud sont le produit du rifting et de la rupture du continent Pangée. Ce continent présente une hétérogénéité crustale et lithosphérique importante, dont la prise en compte est un objectif de la thèse. Afin de comprendre la rupture continentale à l'échelle lithosphérique de systèmes de rhéologies préexistantes très différentes, nous avons effectué des modélisations, analogique et numérique. Les modèles analogiques s'attachent à montrer l'effet des forces externes sur un tel système hétérogène tandis que les modèles numériques, thermomécaniques, se concentrent sur l'impact des anomalies de fusion du manteau sur le rifting avec une telle configuration.Avec la modélisation analogique, l'effet des forces aux limites sur un système composé de deux segments de rhéologies différentes a été testé à l’échelle de la lithosphère pour comprendre l'influence de l'hétérogénéité rhéologique dans un système en extension. Les résultats montrent que dans un système combiné, toute l'extension se produit dans le segment faible et que le contact entre les deux segments ne joue pratiquement aucun rôle dans l'initiation des failles. Lorsque le segment le plus faible contient une couche résistante dans le manteau supérieur, le rift évolue en deux phases. La première phase montre un système de failles larges où la déformation est distribuée. Une fois que la partie résistante du manteau supérieur est suffisamment affaiblie, l'extension se localise le long d'une zone de faille étroite. Si l'extension continuait, la rupture se produirait à cet emplacement, dans une partie plutôt homogène alors que le système est latéralement hétérogène. Le résultat de ce système extensif serait des marges asymétriques avec une croûte faible/hyper-étirée sur deux marges.Les résultats numériques montrent que, dans le cas de la rupture continentale induite par un panache, le mode de rupture «central», où la rupture se localise au-dessus du point de l'impact du panache, est une forme de rupture continentale parmi d'autres. Ainsi, lorsque l'anomalie de fusion du manteau est localisée de manière décalée par rapport au contact entre les segments rhéologiques, un mode de rupture "décalé" peut se développer. Dans ce cas, le matériel du panache atteint la base de la lithosphère et s’écoule latéralement jusqu’au contact entre les deux segments rhéologiques où le rifting se localise in fine. La partie du matériel qui n’arrive pas au centre de la zone de rupture, se situe au niveau de la croûte inférieure ou bien plus profond, ressemblant aux corps de densité/vitesse élevées imagés le long des marges de l'Atlantique Sud. De plus, le mode «décalé» reproduit l'asymétrie des marges conjuguées..
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
