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

Full text linkMETHOD FOR THE PREPARATION AND THE USE OF BIOCIDES ENRICHED IN ACTIVE RADICALS BEFORE USAGE
No full textThe present description relates to a method for preparing a biocide enriched in oxygen-centred free radicals through UV
radiation, a biocide enriched in oxygen- centred free radicals thus obtained, a method for sterilizing waters, a method for
controlling the colonisation of micro-organisms in treated waters, as well as a method for controlling and/or for controlling
and preventing the colonisation on the surfaces of submerged structures by aquatic filtering organisms that use said biocide
enriched in oxygen-centred free radicals and plants suitable for implementing said methods
Quality modeling for the Medium Grain Scalability option of H.264/SVC
No full textRate vs. quality is a crucial trade off not only for efficient video coding and transmission but also for adaptive transmission strategies in wireless networks and/or congestion-prone networks. Scalable coders are well suited to tackle the time-varying capacities of these environments. In this paper we propose a semi-analytical model suitable for the medium grain scalable option of the H.264 standard and discuss the parameters influencing its performance. Results show it can effectively be used to represent the expected rate for different quality layers and thus its applicability to algorithms for resource optimization
