    Guided acoustic wave propagation for porcelain coating characterization

    No full text
    In this paper a measurement technique to obtain dispersion curves for guided acoustic modes in porcelain-coated steel is described. The measurement is performed with two angled ultrasonic longitudinal transducers in a pitch catch configuration by employing an immersion technique. Phase velocities for the guided modes are selected through the variation of the angle formed by the transmitter beam with the surface normal vector. The excitation signal of the transmitting transducer is a narrow band pulse. For each phase velocity, the guided mode frequencies are recovered by evaluating the frequency minima of the reflection coefficient

    The authors summarize the results of the interdisciplinary approach to the study of the material remains from the first half of the 1900s excavations at Arma dell’Aquila. As already emphasized by famous archaeologists of that époque, this site represents one of the focal points to understand the pace and modes of the prehistoric human settlement along the coast of the northern part of the Tyrrhenian Sea. A series of radiocarbon measurements allowed to date to the Protoaurignacian the most ancient human presence in the rock shelter unearthed by Richard-Chiappella, confirming that also the Finalese was involved in the arrival of the first AMH, and attributing to an early phase of the Epigravettian the subsequent Upper Pleistocene frequentation of the site. The cave was later and intermittently settled during the Holocene, with alternate periods of frequentations, abandonments and burial use of the space during the Neolithic

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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 link
    We 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 link
    We 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
