    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

    玆就上列各表結果數字分析之,得初步結論如下: 一、蘿蔔 各處理之蘿蔔不論地上部或地下部之長度,均較對照區大。而重量反較對照區小。就形狀言之,處理者根部之分歧所佔之百分率較對照區低。 二、菠菜 兩次試驗結果,處理區不論濃度高低,對平均每株高度及產量與對照區比較,均有增加。春播者各處理區均有提早抽苔現象,抽苔率亦較對照區高。秋播者收穫時尚未開始抽苔。 三、芫荽 處理區植株高度及抽苔率較對照區增高,其增高程度與奇菌靈之濃度成正比。而植株重量則較對照區低,且與奇菌靈之濃度成反比。 四、胡瓜 處理區第一瓜著生節數較對照區延後1~2節,每瓜重量,長度,橫徑大小等較對照區有增加,惟10 ppm者每瓜重量及長度較對照略有減少。 五、結球白菜 三種處理在株重與球重方面均較對照稍有增加,球徑與球高兩項除10 ppm處理較對照略低外,均略超過對照區,惟相差數不太顯著。 六、甘藍 甘藍因葉片上有臘質,奇菌靈液中雖加用展著劑,亦不易附著,且第三次處理後,開始結球而停止處理,結果數字無明顯差異。 七、花椰菜 處理區植株重量雖較對照略有增加,但食用部份花球之重量反較對照減少。 八、結球萵苣 處理區濃度愈高,結球率愈低,對照區則百分之百結球。不結球者植株形狀亦極不規則。結球者處理區之株重及球重均較對照低,而球之大小(球徑與球高)反較對照區大,故知處理者雖能結球,球之緊密度亦不及對照區。 九、蔓性菜豆 兩次試驗結果,知不同濃度之奇菌靈液對蔓性菜豆之植株有顯著增長,其增長率與濃度高低成正比。植株之分枝數亦隨濃度之昇高而加多。開花早晚,結實率,豆莢大小,重量等反因濃度增大而不及對照區。 十、芹菜 第一次試驗結果,對於株高、株重,各處理均較對照為佳,而以濃度愈高反應愈優,對抽苔之影響並不明顯。 第二次秋播結果,各處理區之株高、株重與對照無明顯差別,而抽苔率則因濃度不同較對照區比例增加。 十一、青梗白菜 經處理者在株高與株重方面,均以濃度愈高者效果愈佳,僅美製奇菌靈 50 ppm 者較差,他種濃度,包括臺南糖試所及美國 Pfizer 廠之奇菌靈的結果相若。 十二、鳳山白菜 第一次試驗結果,以 1 ppm 處理者較高濃度為佳,惟各處理均較對照區為優。第二次試驗結果,株高均按濃度高低比例增加,重量反而相對減少。不及對照區,惟美製奇菌靈 100 ppm 者例外。此外兩種奇菌靈之差異甚微。 1. Radish (Minon Early): The length of either the leaves or the roots of treated radishes is longer than that of the check ones, while the weight is lighter, and the percentage of branches of the treated radish root is smaller. 2. Spinach (Minsterland): According to the results of two tests, no matter the concentration is low or high, the average length per plant and the production of the treated ones are increased. The treated spring seeding ones bolted early, the percentage of bolting is higher than that to the check ones. Fall seeding ones had not begun to bolt till harvest. 3. Coriander (Native variety): The length of stem and the bolting ratio of the treated corianders are higher than those of the check ones. The weight of plants is quite the opposite. 4. Cucumber (Green Skin): The setting location of the first fruit of the treated ones is one or two nodes latter than the check ones. The weight, length and diameter of each cucumber are increased except the 10 ppm ones. 5. Pai-tsai (Nagaoka No. 2): The plant weight and the head weight of the three treatments are increased. The head diameter and the head length are increased except 10 ppm ones, but the difference is not so large. 6. Cabbage (O-S Cross): The wax of cabbage prevents the gibberellin from adhering to the leaf, in spite of the stick used. After the third treatment the cabbages begin to set heads. And the treatment is stopped. The result shows little difference. 7. Cauliflower (Medium maturing): The plant weight of the treated ones is increased but the weight of the flower is lighter than the check ones. 8. Lettuce (Great Lake): The heading ratio is opposite proportional to the concentration while the check ones are all headed The plant shapes of unheaded ones are quite irregular. The plant weight and head weight of the headed lettuce of the treated ones are lighter than those of the check ones, but the head size (head diameter and head length) is larger, so that we know though the treated ones can head, the density of the head is looser. 9. Pole Bean (Kentucky Wonder): According to the results of two tests, we know that gibberellin solution of different concentration increases the plant length of pole bean, and the increase ratio is proportional to the concentration. The number of the plant branching increases in the same way. Leaf size, bloom time, fruit setting ratio, pod size and weight are in a worse condition than those of the check ones because of the increase of concentation. 10. Celery (Yellow Heart): From the first test we know that all the plant height and weight of the treated ones are better than those of the check ones, and denser concentration causes better reaction, but it does not affect bolting much. After the second fall seeding, it shows great difference, and the bolting ratio increases because of different concentration, while compared with that of the check ones. 11. Pak-choi (Ching-keng pai-tsai): The plant height and weight of the treated ones are proportional to the coecentration. Only those treated with 50 ppm of U. S. made gibberellin are worse. Those treated with the other two kinds of gibberellin (one is Taiwan Sugar Research Institute made, the other is American Pfizer made) show same results. 12. Pak-choi (Fengshan pai-tsai): The first test shows the treatments are all better than those of the check ones but the one treated with 1 ppm gibberellin is the best. The second test shows plant height increases as the concentration increases and the weight is on the contraty. All the treated ones are worse than those of the check ones except those treated with 100 ppm of American made gibberellin. Those treated with the other two kinds of gibberellin show little difference

    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

    koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist

    No full text
    We 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 text
    In 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.
