Christopher Martin
No full textChristopher Martin is from Tampa, Florida and majors in chemistry with a focus in biochemistry. His passion for biochemistry originates in high school and he hopes to earn a doctoral degree in a closely related field. During his time at UCF, Chris has participated in multiple research-oriented programs. The L.E.A.R.N program proved the genesis of his current connection with principal investigator, Dr. Chumbimuni-Torres. He has been a member of Dr. Torres’s lab since the Spring semester of 2016, where his work revolves around the development of an electrochemical sensor used for the detection of specific sequences of DNA/RNA. Chris wishes to pursue a Ph.D. somewhere in the wide range of the biological sciences. His future research interests include the identification and potential manipulation of enzymes in the treatment of disease, both infectious and genetic. Chris’s ultimate goal is to translate his education into a career in industry where he can perform valuable research in an area such as drug discovery or biotechnology.https://stars.library.ucf.edu/ramp_gallery/1015/thumbnail.jp

The Commissioning, Composition, and Performance Preparation of Christopher Rouse's Heimdall's Trumpet for Christopher Martin and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra
No full textThe purpose of this essay is to explore the significance of notable American composer Christopher Rouse’s Heimdall’s Trumpet, a new concerto in four movements for trumpet and orchestra. The work received its premiere on December 20, 2012 at Orchestra Hall in Chicago, Illinois by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra along with guest conductor, Jaap van Zweden, and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s principal trumpeter, Christopher Martin, soloist. This essay will use Christopher Rouse, Christopher Martin, and the piece Heimdall’s Trumpet, as its primary examples. The discussion will provide a background on the music of Christopher Rouse, primarily his brass music, concertos, and his previous commission from the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. It will include an extensive examination on the life, training, and career of trumpeter Christopher Martin, specifically his performance preparation leading up to the premiere of Heimdall’s Trumpet. The final part of the essay will include an extensive discussion of the piece, Heimdall’s Trumpet. While Christopher Rouse has written several notable concertos, Heimdall’s Trumpet will serve as his first concerto for trumpet and orchestra. It was chosen as the topic of this essay because of the significance to the trumpet repertoire.</p

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
Achieving Agility at Nokia Siemens Networks through a Project Management Orientation
No full textIn turbulent and volatile global markets agility provides the capability of a supply chain to cope with complexity, unpredictable events along the network and to respond to short-term changes in demand (Christopher 2000). However, while agility has been highlighted as a way to improve competitiveness, there is a need for case studies of firms which have sought to implement this philosophy with concrete actions (Gunasekaran 1999, Vazquez-Bustelo et al 2007). The present paper aims to present an application within the mobile infrastructure industry, specifically in the firm Nokia Siemens Network (NSN) where a project-based refocusing has helped in implementing the agility philosophy. The paradigm of agility has been described as mutually supportive with ‘leanness’ through the idea of ‘leagility’ (Katayama and Bennet 1999, Christopher and Towill 2000). While leagility is often applicable to single manufacturing plants (Prince and Key 2003) through the existence of a ‘decoupling point’, NSN represents a case where lean and agile systems coexist at different phases along a supply chain and at a production plant. The complexity of this case study comes from the fact that this supply chain incorporates the original supply chains, of Nokia and Siemens which are now merged. Nokia Siemens Network Services – Network Implementation (NSN NI) is a project-business driven organization, where back-end processes are progressively oriented towards the lean principles of cost reduction and standardization while the more customer facing processes (including systems’ on-site installation and assistance) seek to be flexible and adaptive following an agile philosophy. In this sense leagility exists at NSN through the presence of a form of ‘supply-chain decoupling point’, where: - upstream, there is a system of back-end service delivery engines oriented toward the standardization of the single processes and activities, - downstream, there are different service projects which run in parallel and require to be flexible and fit for their specific environment
Achieving supply chain ‘Leagility’ through a project management orientation
No full textMany forces have combined to make today’s supply chains more complex than ever before. These forces include the significant trend to out-sourcing; the growth of offshore manufacturing and procurement; the rising demand for customer-specific solutions and the globalisation of markets. The paper highlights the challenges that organisations must address in order to gain and retain competitiveness in today’s markets – in particular, the need to achieve ever lower costs while simultaneously enhancing responsiveness. In other words, the need is to develop hybrid supply chains that are both ‘lean’ and ‘agile’. Using a single case study of a global telecommunications company as an example, the authors demonstrate how supply chain complexity can effectively be mastered by adopting a project management orientation and in the process enabling outcomes that are ‘leagile’, that is, both lean and agile
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
