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
Optimización geométrica de uniones soldadas
No full textEn la actualidad, se proyecta un aumento anual del uso de estructuras metálicas en la construcción de un 2.6%, proyectando que se alcanzará un total de mil millones de toneladas métricas para el año 2030 [33]. Es por esto que las uniones soldadas en la construcción han sido el sistema más utilizado para realizar la mayoría de las conexiones metálicas estructurales a nivel mundial. Por lo anterior, las estructuras metálicas se destacan como el método más eficiente en comparación a las estructuras en concreto. Producto del índice de resistencia del acero. Esta característica permite optimizar el uso de materiales, generando ahorros significativos en cuanto la cantidad de material requerido para la construcción. [37] Sin embargo, para el caso de estructuras metálicas es natural que el costo de la estructura está asociada con el consumo de la cantidad de soldadura aplicada por unión, siendo lo anterior una de las principales debilidades en construcción. Investigaciones estiman que el consumo de material de soldadura es cuatro veces mayor en pulgadas por longitud cuando el ancho de una soldadura es la mitad en comparación con otra, y, a pesar de ello, la resistencia resultante es únicamente dos veces mayor [33]. Es por lo anterior que, una correcta implementación de herramientas de optimización que permitan diseñar configuraciones óptimas en las uniones soldadas para estructuras metálicas favorecerá la reducción de los costos de producción y la minimización de desperdicios de material. Esto se logra al ajustar adecuadamente la geometría y la ubicación del cordón de soldadura, garantizando el equilibrio con las acciones externas (fuerzas y momentos) sin violar criterios de resistencia. Asimismo, maximizar la relación beneficio-costo permitirá aumentar la vida útil de la estructura metálica, convirtiendo esta aplicación indispensable en construcciones críticas, como puentes, maquinaria pesada, edificios, entre otros. Además, la implementación de una metodología de optimización conllevará a la reducción de peso en las estructuras, lo que a su vez mejorará la eficiencia energética y el balance económico de los diferentes proyectos. Desarrollar soluciones de optimización permitirá conseguir sistemáticamente soldadura que sean económicamente más convenientes y sin comprometer sus resistencia. No obstante, los métodos de optimización utilizados en la actualidad están restringidos al público en general, por lo que para diferentes empresas es necesario realizar una inversión adicional para adquirir esta metodología, generando así costos adicionales al desarrollo de nuevos proyectos. En este proyecto se propone el desarrollo de modelos de optimización haciendo uso de la herramienta computacional MATLAB para generar un conjunto de soluciones que permitan optimizar la geometría de los cordones de soldadura de filete en diversos tipos de uniones. A su vez, se busca predecir la ubicación ideal para realizar la soldadura en los diferentes tipos de uniones sin violar los criterios de resistencia. Cabe destacar que es de vital importancia considerar las cargas a las que está expuesta la unión en cada caso. Estas soluciones se diseñan con el fin de maximizar la relación beneficio-costo (Resistencia por unidad de volumen) lo que implica una ejecución económica y una reducción en los tiempos de ejecución de las uniones.Magíster en Ingeniería MecánicaMaestrí
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

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.
