Hybrid gravimetry : application to the study of the hydrological functionning of the Strengbach catchment
No full textLes hydrosystèmes de montagne contribuent à l’approvisionnement en eau des populations et des écosystèmes. La dynamique des stocks d’eau au sein de tels hydrosystèmes est complexe, du fait d’une grande variabilité des stocks d’eau dans l’espace et dans le temps. Le déploiement de réseaux de mesures in situ est donc indispensable pour caractériser leur fonctionnement hydrologique. La gravimétrie permet un suivi direct des variations de stock d’eau à une échelle de mesure intermédiaire. Nous avons mis en oeuvre un tel suivi gravimétrique hybride combinant : (i) un suivi continu des variations de gravité et (ii) des mesures relatives sur un réseau de 16 stations sur une période couvrant deux cycles hydrologiques sur le bassin versant du Strengbach (Vosges). On interprète les variations temporelles de gravité observées à l’aide d’un modèle hydro-gravimétrique homogène, et d’un modèle hydrologique distribué à base physique. On montre ainsi que les variations de stock d’eau sont hétérogènes spatialement, et que la gravimétrie hybride fournie des mesures distribuées permettant de mieux contraindre les modèles hydrologiques distribués à base physique.Mountain hydrosystems contribute to the water supply of populations and ecosystems. The water storage dynamics within such hydrosystems is complex, due to a high variability of water stocks in space and time. The deployment of in situ measurement networks is therefore essential to characterize their hydrological functioning. Gravimetry allows a direct monitoring of water storage variations at an intermediate measurement scale. We have implemented such hybrid gravimetric monitoring combining: (i) a continuous monitoring of gravity variations and (ii) relative measurements on a network of 16 stations over a period covering two hydrological cycles in the Strengbach watershed (Vosges). The observed temporal gravity variations are interpreted using a homogeneous hydro-gravimetric model and a physically based distributed hydrological model. It shows that water storage variations are spatially heterogeneous, and that hybrid gravimetry provides distributed measurements allowing to better constrain physically based distributed hydrological models
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
Get PDFWe 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
