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
Emergence of chaos in classical and quantum many body dynamics
No full textS.Cette thèse étudie l'émergence du chaos dans la dynamique des systèmes à plusieurs corps, tant classiques que quantiques, à travers trois études interconnectées, aboutissant à plusieurs résultats novateurs. La recherche explore initialement les corrélations dans les circuits symplectiques duaux, fournissant une analyse approfondie des flux hamiltoniens et des systèmes symplectiques. Une contribution significative est l'introduction du modèle Ising-Swap au sein des circuits symplectiques classiques duaux, qui révèle des corrélations dynamiques en utilisant des portes symplectiques et duaux-symplectiques. Une méthode générale est proposée, permettant le calcul exact des fonctions de corrélation dynamique à deux points, qui ne s'annulent que le long des bords des cônes de lumière. Ces résultats sont validés par des simulations de Monte Carlo, montrant une excellente concordance avec les prédictions théoriques pour divers observables.L'étude suivante aborde le chaos et les conceptions unitaires, commençant par un examen des conceptions unitaires, des k-conceptions et de la mesure de Haar, et progressant vers la distribution de Porter-Thomas. Cette recherche fait progresser la compréhension des distributions universelles des chevauchements issus de la dynamique unitaire en utilisant des modèles tels que les circuits en brique et le modèle de phase aléatoire. Notamment, l'étude parvient à la diagonalisation des matrices de Toeplitz généralisées et analyse leur spectre, ce qui permet un calcul exact du potentiel de cadre, essentiel pour comprendre l'universalité de notre théorie.La dernière partie de la thèse se concentre sur la dynamique universelle hors équilibre des systèmes quantiques critiques, en utilisant la théorie des champs conformes (CFT) pour étudier les champs et les fonctions de corrélation. L'étude traite de la dynamique hors équilibre des systèmes quantiques perturbés par le bruit couplé à l'énergie. Les résultats clés incluent des analyses détaillées des corrélations à deux points, des distributions de l'entropie d'intrication et des fluctuations de la densité d'énergie, qui sont montrées être directement liées à un ensemble d'équations différentielles stochastiques (SDE). Il est démontré que l'on peut étudier ces SDE et prouver analytiquement l'existence de distributions stationnaires non triviales avec des queues de −3/2. La validation de ces résultats avec un modèle de fermions libres souligne l'universalité et la robustesse du cadre théorique présenté.Dans l'ensemble, cette thèse intègre des modèles théoriques et des cadres mathématiques pour améliorer la compréhension du chaos dans les systèmes classiques et quantiques. En reliant les résultats des circuits symplectiques, des conceptions unitaires et de la dynamique hors équilibre, elle offre un récit complet qui met en lumière les caractéristiques universelles du comportement chaotique dans la dynamique des systèmes à plusieurs corps.This thesis investigates the emergence of chaos in classical and quantum many-body dynamics through three interconnected studies, yielding several novel results.The research initially explores correlations in dual symplectic circuits, providinga thorough analysis of Hamiltonian flows and symplectic systems. A significantcontribution is the introduction of the Ising-Swap model within dual symplecticclassical circuits, which reveals dynamical correlations using symplectic and dual-symplectic gates. A general method is proposed, which enables the exact compu-tation of two-point dynamical correlation functions, which are shown to be non-vanishing only along the edges of light cones. These findings are validated throughMonte Carlo simulations, displaying excellent agreement with theoretical predic-tions for various observables.The subsequent study addresses chaos and unitary designs, starting with an ex-amination of unitary designs, k-designs, and the Haar measure, progressing to thePorter-Thomas distribution. This research advances the understanding of universaldistributions of overlaps from unitary dynamics by employing models like brick-wall circuits and the Random Phase Model. Notably, the study achieves the di-agonalization of generalized Toeplitz matrices and analyses their spectrum, whichprovides an exact calculation of the Frame Potential, which is essential for under-standing the universality of our theory.The final segment of the thesis focuses on universal out-of-equilibrium dynam-ics of critical quantum systems, utilizing conformal field theory (CFT) to investi-gate fields and correlation functions. The study addresses the out-of-equilibriumdynamics of quantum systems perturbed by noise coupled to energy. Key resultsinclude detailed analyses of two-point correlations, entanglement entropy distribu-tions, and energy density fluctuations, which are shown to be directly related to aset of stochastic differential equation(SDEs). It is shown, that one can study theseSDEs, and analytically prove, the existence of non-trivial stationary distributionswith −3/2 tails. Benchmarking these findings with a free fermion model under-scores the universality and robustness of the presented theoretical framework.Overall, this thesis integrates theoretical models and mathematical frameworksto enhance the understanding of chaos in both classical and quantum systems. Bylinking results from symplectic circuits, unitary designs, and out-of-equilibrium dy-namics, it offers a comprehensive narrative that underscores the universal charac-teristics of chaotic behaviour in many-body dynamics
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
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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
