    Chi cercherà una trattazione esaustiva sul problema della ricezione ciceroniana nel corso dei secoli, certo non sarà soddisfatto dal volume in esame. Chi invece vorrà trovare una guida per esplorare la questione, non potrà che considerare i saggi qui raccolti come un punto di riferimento fondamentale, soprattutto in vista di ulteriori approfondimenti. La regia di William H.F. Altman è riuscita a costruire un percorso che, nonostante l’assenza di un ordine cronologico, presenta in modo chiaro ..

    On Guan-jian (關楗), Guan-yue (管籥) and Suo-chi (鎖匙): From the Perspective of Lexical History

    本文從詞彙史的角?,?明「關楗」、「管籥」與「鎖匙」具有詞彙發展的關係。文獻所?的「管」有些指橫木關,有些指關楗上再加的鎖,有些指開鎖的鑰匙。?物同名的現象,?明??物之間在形制上具有沿革的關係:物件形式變?,可是觀?上仍視它們為一物,因此用舊名?稱呼新的物件,因而產生指稱的重疊。解經家以「鎖」、「匙」註解「管」、「關」、「楗」、「籥」,這是因關、楗在形制上愈趨?巧後,形體發展得與鎖鏈及匙匕相近,因此產生詞彙的替代,改稱閉門裝置為「鎖」、「匙」,在詞彙上?下古今語重疊和取代的痕跡。This paper argues from the perspective of lexical history that guan-jian (關楗), guan-yue (管籥) and suo-chi (鎖匙) are related in terms of their lexical development. In early texts, guan (管) might signify a locking-bar, both the lock and the locking-bar, or the key that opens the lock. This phenomenon of multiple referents shows a special kind of lexical derivation in a set of words or word family that is closely related in form or usage. Given the relationship between them, it is quite understandable why one form’s name could be used to denote the other or vice versa. This usage leads to duplication. Many philologists define guan and jian or guan and yue, by using suo and chi. This is because as the objects that the terms guan and jian refer to were improved overtime, their appearance increasingly resembled suo and chi. Through lexical replacement, we can see how suo and chi came to connote the implements used for securing a door. This is a clear example of how words are replaced in the history

    Measuring industry-science links through inventor-author relations: A profiling method

    Full text link
    In this pilot study we examine the performance of text-based profiling in recovering a set of validated inventor-author links. In a first step we match patents and publications solely based on their similarity in content. Next, we compare inventor and author names on the highest ranked matches for the occurrence of name matches. Finally, we compare these candidate matches with the names listed in a validated set of inventor-author names. Our text-based profile methodology performs significantly better than a random matching of patents and publications, suggesting that text-based profiling is a valuable complementary tool to the name searches used in previous studies.innovation; industry-science links; text-based profiling;

    ASA member experiences and perceptions of the peer reviewing-editing process (Chapter 4)

    Full text link
    A membership survey regarding policies and attitudes germane to the peer reviewing and editing practices and policies of the American Society of Agronomy, Crop Science Society of America, and Soil Science Society of America was deemed worthwhile. A second survey queried agricultural experiment station directors on related institutional aspects of the same topic. Briefly, responses indicated good demographic representation of editorial boards with some underrepresentation of non-U.S. addressed members. One-third of the membership has served on the editorial board of some journal, and 1 in 7.4 has served on the editorial board of a Tri-Society journal. Females are used as reviewers one-third as often in proportion to their membership as are males. The publishing membership of the Tri-Societies is essentially those members with Ph.D.'s. Two-thirds of the papers submitted to Tri-Society journals require institutional review before journal submission. There is twice the support among the membership for dual anonymity (author and reviewers) as for reviewer anonymity only (the current policy). Nearly one-half the membership perceived shared responsibility by authors and editors for accuracy of published manuscripts. There was strong concern for seeking qualified reviewers, guaranteeing quality of reviews, admonishing poor reviewers, and instituting training in the Tri-Societies for writing/reviewing/editing. Greater openmindedness was supported for publishing "negative" or unusual results where methodology and analysis were acceptable. Concern was expressed about influence networks undermining the fairness of the review process. Significant support exists for a rapid-publication journal in the Tri-Societies. Two-and-one-half times more authors indicated movement away from Tri-Society journals than to them, with 44% indicating no change. The major reasons for journal migration were gravitation to journals that better reflected some recent shift in research focus, and various aspects of dissatisfaction with Tri-Society journals. Institutional responses indicated a strong rationale for developing and endorsing codes of ethics and limiting Tri-Society responsibility for ethical infractions

    Author Co-Citation Analysis (ACA): a powerful tool for representing implicit knowledge of scholar knowledge workers

    Full text link
    In the last decade, knowledge has emerged as one of the most important and valuable organizational assets. Gradually this importance caused to emergence of new discipline entitled ―knowledge management‖. However one of the major challenges of knowledge management is conversion implicit or tacit knowledge to explicit knowledge. Thus Making knowledge visible so that it can be better accessed, discussed, valued or generally managed is a long-standing objective in knowledge management. Accordingly in this paper author co- citation analysis (ACA) will be proposed as an efficient technique of knowledge visualization in academia (Scholar knowledge workers)
