La vallée de la Loue : étude préalable au schéma directeur d'aménagement et de gestion de l'espace naturel
No full textThe author covers three topics of landscape study: description of the landscape current state, estimation of the different visual sensitivities of these landscapes, description of elements to define the general strategy of development and management of the valley (with emphasis on the landscape values and sensitivities). / L'auteur aborde les trois thèmes de l'étude paysagère : constat de l'état actuel du paysage, estimation des différentes sensibilités visuelles de ces paysages, description d'éléments pour définir la stratégie générale d'aménagement et de gestion de la vallée (en particulier les valeurs et sensibilités paysagères)
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
Forest landscape of the registered Schlucht-Hohneck site
No full text[Departement_IRSTEA]GT [TR1_IRSTEA]GT4-Paysage et valeurs patrimoniales dans l'aménagement de l'espace ruralIn this document, which is a very brief summary of the study of the Schlucht Hohneck site forest landscapes carried out at the request of the " Parc Naturel Régional des Ballons des Vosges ", the author tries to take up the most important points in the field of landscape analysis in wooded environment. Then, based on to concrete cases studied in detail, the high anticlinal valley of the Valtin in Lorraine and the Herrenberg massif in Alsace, he reviews the different landscape impacts brought about by forest operations (cutting, afforestation, infrastructures, plantation upkeep). The agreed sites allow to cover a large range of situations (public and private forests, summit and bottom of valleys) and landscape problems (transportation network, ground level cutting, reforestation of rural spaces, division of sylvicutlure,...). Finally, the document proposes alternative solutions to ensure the consideration of the landscape aspect in the present forest management and, concerning the current existing impacts, it makes propositions to ensure the alleviation of landscape problems inherited from old practices.Dans ce document, qui est une synthèse très brève de l'étude des paysages forestiers du site Schlucht Hohneck, réalisée à la demande du Parc Naturel Régional des Ballons des Vosges, l'auteur s'efforce de reprendre les points les plus importants en matière d'analyse paysagère en milieu boisé. Puis, s'appuyant sur les deux cas concrets étudiés en détail, la haute combe du Valtin en Lorraine et le massif du Herrenberg en Alsace, il passe en revue les différents impacts paysagers occasionnés par les opérations forestières (coupes, boisements, infrastructures, entretien des plantations). Les sites retenus permettent de recouvrir une grande palette de situations (forêts publiques et privées ; sommet et fond de vallées) et de problèmes paysagers (voiries, coupes rases, reboisements d'espaces ruraux, cloisonnements de sylviculture, ...). Enfin, le document propose des solutions alternatives pour permettre la prise en compte de la dimension paysagère dans la gestion forestière courante, et, en ce qui concerne les impacts existants actuellement, des propositions visant à permettre l'atténuation des problèmes paysagers hérités des pratiques anciennes
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
