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
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.

Das mDOM – ein multi-PMT digitales optisches Modul für das IceCube-Gen2 Neutrinoteleskop
No full textInspired by the discovery of a comogenic high-energy neutrino flux in IceCube, plans are under way for the construction of new neutrino observatory at the South pole. This next-generation neutrino telescope, IceCube-Gen2, will expand the sensitivity range to lower as well as towards higher neutrino energies with respect to the currently operating IceCube detector.
While the compact and densely instrumented low-energy component will, amongst other questions, address neutrino mass hierarchy, the large-volume high-energy array primarily aims at the first detection of neutrino point sources.
A substantial increase of detector sensitivity is expected from the employment of novel optical sensors. One of the most auspicious of the new designs is based on the multi-PMT concept first introduced in the KM3NeT detector. As indicated by its name, a multi-PMT optical module houses, inside a transparent pressure vessel, an array of small-size PMTs. The effective segmentation of the sensitive area entails some attractive advantages compared to the conventional layout featuring a single large-area PMT. Most prominent among those advantages are an increased effective area uniformly covering the solid angle, an extended dynamic range, as well as intrinsic directional sensitivity of the module.
Within the scope of this thesis, the development of a dedicated multi-PMT Digital Optical Module for IceCube-Gen2 has been advanced from the original ideas to a stage where the realization of a first fully featured and working prototype is expected within a year. The reported work includes testing and detailed characterization of key hardware components, simulation studies concerning pressure stability and performance capabilities, as well as first steps towards the construction of a prototype of the novel module.Nach der erstmaligen Messung eines hochenergetischen astrophysikalischen Neutrinoflusses durch IceCube, wird momentan intensiv an den Planungen zur nächsten Generation eines Neutrino-Observatoriums am Südpol, IceCube-Gen2, gearbeitet. Dabei ist vorgesehen den Energiebereich nachweisbarer Neutrinos sowohl zu niedrigeren als auch zu höheren Energien hin gegenüber dem aktuellen IceCube Detektor zu erweitern.
Während die kompakte, dicht instrumentierte Niedrigenergiekomponente, unter anderem, zur Messung der Neutrinomassenhierarchie verwendet werden soll, wird die Suche nach Neutrinopunktquellen eine der Zielsetzungen der Hochenergiekomponente sein.
Eine wesentliche Steigerung der Sensitivität von IceCube-Gen2 wird dabei von neuen optischen Sensoren erwartet. Eines der vielversprechendsten Designs ist hierbei das sogenannte multi-PMT-Modul. Optische Module nach diesem Konstruktionsprinzip wurden erstmals im KM3NeT Detektor realisiert. Sie bestehen aus einer Anordnung mehrerer kleiner Photomultiplier innerhalb eines transparenten Druckkörpers, was, durch eine effektive Segmentierung der sensitiven Fläche, einige Vorteile gegenüber dem konventionellen Design mit einem großen PMT bietet, darunter eine vergrößerte effektive Fläche, eine gleichmäßige Raumwinkelabdeckung sowie intrinsische Richtungssensitivität und eine Erweiterung des dynamischen Signalbereichs.
Im Rahmen der vorliegenden Dissertation wurde die Entwicklung eines multi-PMT Digitalen Optischen Moduls (mDOM) für den Einsatz im IceCube-Gen2 Detektor aufgenommen, die nach derzeitigem Stand innerhalb eines Jahres in die Fertigstellung eines voll funktionsfähigen Prototyps münden wird. Die Arbeiten umfassten, neben Testreihen zur detaillierten Charakterisierung zentraler Hardware-Komponenten, sowohl Simulationsstudien zur Druckstabilität und Leistungsfähigkeit des Moduls, als auch Vorarbeiten für die Prototypkonstruktion
