Cheng-guan\u27s understanding of the Dharma-dhātu(法界)
Full text linkThe central problem addressed in this paper is the explanation of the dharma-dhātu (法界) as it is presented by Cheng-guan (澄観, 738-839), the fourth patriarch of the Hua-yan (華厳) school of Chinese Buddhism. The Chinese equivalent of the Sanskrit word dharma-dhātu developed into a central idea expressing the ultimate truth and the world view of the Hua-yan sūtra as presented by Zhi-yan (智儼, 602-668) of the Hua-yan school. After passing through the systemization of Hua-yan doctrine by Zhi-yan and Fa-zang (法蔵, 643-712), this Hua-yan view of the dharma-dhātu was completed by Cheng-guan, and it is called the four kinds of dharma-dhātu. The present paper focusses on the following points: How did Cheng-guan understand the dharmadhātu and how did he explain it? By considering all his commentaries related to Hua-yan thought, I will show that his predominant interest was focussed on the problem of the dharma-dhātu, and I will try to show that the explanation given by Cheng guan is divided into three parts: 1) The dharma-dhātu as characterized by non-obstruction of noumenon and phenomena (理事無碍). This is the basis of Cheng-guan\u27s understanding of the dharma-dhātu, and he comprehends these two as inexhaustible and non-obstructed. He develops the concept further, culminating the "Four dharma-dhātus theory". Here he was influenced by the text "On the meditation of Hua-yan dharmadhātu (法界観門)" ascribed to Du-shun (杜順). 2) The dharma-dhātu of cause and effect (因果) and dependent origination (縁起). When discussing the principal chararcteristics of the Hua-yan sūtra, he explains cause and effect and dependent origination as being placed on one line. He does this because he analyzes the sūtra as consisting of sequences of cause and effect. Consequently, if one considers the relationship of this idea to Bodhisattva practices (菩薩行), then the Hua -yan sūtra itself takes the position of practice, and the sequence of practice expressed as the circularity of the five steps of cause and effect (五周因果) becomes a concept of great importance. 3) The dharma-dhātu as the origin (根源性) and the ultimate (究極性). This is an interpretation starting from the point of view of nature-origination (性気), meaning that the dharma-dhātu is not only the truth one has to attain finally, but is at the same time the origin that brings forth all things. Cheng guan says about the dharma-dhātu that from the ultimate viewpoint it is not only the basis of the Hua-yan sūtra but of all other sūtras and dharmas as well, and it is from a fimdamental viewpoint the basis of the delusion (迷) and enlightenment (悟) of beings, from which the Buddha as well as Bodhisattvas appear. Because it is further regarded as not being separate from the Pure One Mind, it is defined as the basis of Bodhisattva practices. The way Cheng-guan understood the concept of "the dharma-dhātu viz. the one mind" is basically founded on the traditional "Awakening of faith" - like understanding predominant in the Hua-yan school, but one can detect some influence of the meditation of śūnyatā (空観) as well. Further, the understanding of the "Ten mysterious gates (十玄門) " as being the concrete content of the dharma-dhātu is considered to be based on the concept of "cittamātra (唯心, consciousness-only)", and this had a big influence in giving direction to the further development of Hua-yan doctrine after Yan shou (永明延寿, 904-75) later in the Song period (宗代). As mentioned above, we can interpret Cheng-guan\u27s understanding of the dharma-dhātu as having three forms and categories. In addition, by means of interpretation one would recognize more clearly and deeply that the dharma-dhātu is an important feature of Hua-yan thought
Preliminary Study on Heavy Metal Pollution Status of Farmland Soil at Two Sides of Cheng-Guan Expressway
Full text linkThe heavy metal content of the farmland soil at two sides of Cheng-Guan Expressway is measured to make a preliminary evaluation on its heavy metal pollution status. After digestion and volume fixation of the soil samples collected, measure the Cu, Zn, Cd, Pb and Cr content with atomic absorption spectrophotometry and evaluate the measured data according to Level Two of National Soil Environmental Quality Standard to obtain the contamination status. Cu, Zn and Cd content of the farmland soil for sections of Cheng-Guan Expressway goes beyond Level Two of National Soil Environmental Quality Standard, while the Pb and Cr content meets Level Two of National Soil Environmental Quality Standard. Pb and Cr content of the farmland soil at two sides of Cheng-Guan Expressway is in safe state, while the Cu, Zn and Cd content is in a mild contamination state. Cu, Zn and Cd are the main pollution elements

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

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
