[Legal document] 1778 September 2 [to] Thomas Clark / Thomas McKean.
No full textClark has signed a document witnessing that Reuben Haines, a Brewer from Philadelphia, and Samuel Wetherill, Jr., a Clothier of the same city, will be held for 500 pounds each under the condition that they "appear and answer" charges of treason. The document seems to be addressed to Thomas Clark, merchant, who may have been the guarantor for the sum; the verso of the document identifies it as a "Recognizance," and it is marked as "67" which may indicate a series of such documents. The document was probably signed during the period in which McKean served as chief justice of Pennsylvania (1777-1799). A delegate to the Continental Congress, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, and a ratifier of the Constitution, McKean was active in the politics of the Early Republic in both Delaware and Pennsylvania-- where he served as governor from 1799-1808
Development of correlative neutron and X-ray computed tomography to study fluid dynamics and structural deformation at the micro-scale in plant and soil systems
No full textThe interactions between plant roots and soil are an area of active research, particularly in terms of water and nutrient uptake. Since non-invasive, in vivo studies are required, tomographic imaging appears an obvious method to use, but no one imaging modality is well suited to capture the complete system. X-ray imaging gives clear insight into soil structure and composition. However, water is very weakly attenuating to X-rays, and biological matter also displays poor contrast. Neutron imaging presents a complementary view where water and biological matter are better distinguished, but the soil minerals are imaged with inferior contrast and resolution in comparison to equivalent X-rays scans. This work aims to develop robust methods for complementary X-ray/neutron tomographic imaging of plant root samples. These should lead to new insight into water and nutrient transport in soil. The primary challenges of this project are: to develop experiments that will meet the requirements of both imaging modalities and the biological requirements of the plant samples and to develop ways to register a pair of reconstructed volume images of samples that have been produced at entirely separate facilities. This work investigates the use of fiducial markers for point-based registration concerning the material, number and distribution of markers to address the registration challenge, first with simulation and then experimentally with plant samples imaged using neutrons and X-rays. The neutron scans were collected at the IMAT instrument at ISIS Neutron and Muon Source and the X-ray scans both at X-ray Imaging Centre at the University of Southampton and the I12 beamline at Diamond Light Source. A marker segmentation algorithm designed to automate the registration process is presented and evaluated, as are methods for combining the registered data from the two modalities to optimise the technique and facilitate segmentation, quantification and further analysis
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
