Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
A Review of silicon carbide development in MEMS applications
No full textDue to its desirable material properties, Silicon Carbide (SiC) hasbecome an alternative material to replace Si for MicroelectromechanicalSystems (MEMS) applications in harsh environments. To promote SiC MEMSdevelopment towards future cost-effective products, main technology areas inmaterial deposition and processes have attracted significant interest. Thedevelopments in these areas have contributed to the rapid emergence of SiCMEMS prototypes. In this paper, we give an overview of the importantdevelopments in SiC material formation and fabrication processes in recentyears. Some of the most interesting state-of-the-art SiC MEMS devices arereviewed. This highlights the major progresses in SiC MEMS developed thusfar. This paper also looks into the prospect of SiC MEMS drawing attention topotential issues
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe 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
Correlation Between Structure Of Solidification And Resulting Properties [correlaç̃o Entre Estrutura De Solidificação E Propriedades Decorrentes]
No full textSolidification is a critical processing route for metals and alloys. The importance of solidification processing in metallurgical operations is emphasized in this article, as the metallurgical structure, distribution of porosity, micro and macrosegregation, as well as the mechanical properties of cast products are intimately associated with the solidification phenomena.60550694697Garcia, A., (2001) Solidificação - Fundamentos E Aplicações, , www.editora.unicamp.br, Editora da UnicampSiqueira, C., Cheung, N., Garcia, A., Solidification thermal parameters affecting the columnar to equiaxed transition (2002) Metallurgical and Materials Transactions A, 33 A, pp. 2107-2118Ferreira, I.L., Santos, C.A., Voller, V.R., Garcia, A., Analytical, numerical, and experimen tal analysis of inverse macrosegregation during upward unidirectional solidification of Al-Cu alloys (2004) Metallurgical and Materials Transactions B, 35 B, pp. 285-297Quaresma, J.M.V., Santos, C.A., Garcia, A., Correlation between unsteady-state solidification conditions, dendrite spacings, and mechanical properties of Al-Cu alloys (2000) Metallurgical and Materials Transactions A, 31 A, pp. 3167-317
Author, publisher and bookseller : a tripartite synergy in Nigerian book industry
No full textThis work is about the roles of Author, Publisher and Bookseller in Book development in
Nigeria. The paper started by delving into the history of Book Publishing in Nigeria after
which it proceeded by defining who an author, a publisher, and a bookseller is and
expatiated on the indispensable roles of these key actors in Nigerian Book Industry and in
the emerging Information Society. Furthermore, the various constraints to book
development were identified while the paper advised on how the Book Industry can be
further promoted in Nigeria. However, the paper concluded and made recommendations
on how the Book sector can help in enhancing scholarship in the country
New Hong Kong Cinema: transitions to becoming Chinese in 21st-century East Asia
No full textThe trajectory of Hong Kong films had been drastically affected long before the city’s official sovereignty transfer from the British to the Chinese in 1997. The change in course has become more visible in recent years as China has aggressively developed its national film industry and assumed the role of powerhouse in East Asia’s cinematic landscape. The author introduces the 'Cinema of Transitions' to study the New Hong Kong Cinema and on- and off-screen life against this background. Using examples from the 1980s to the present, this book offers a fresh perspective on how Hong Kong-related Chinese-language films, filmmakers, audiences, and the workings of film business in East Asia have become major platforms on which 'transitions' are negotiated
Steve Dutton, Percy Peacock, Steve Swindells : Entropic Gym
No full textIn the pamphlet for their exhibition with Peacock, Dutton and Swindells describe a performance where they visited castles in England and threw texts from the ramparts. Cheung argues that the operation of their installation remains incomplete without a viewer to re-experience it. Biographical notes
