DIFFERENTIAL COMPACTION AS A CONTROL ON DEPOSITIONAL ARCHITECTURES ACROSS THE NORTHERN MARGIN OF THE APULIA CARBONATE PLATFORM (MAIELLA MT., CENTRAL APENNINES, ITALY)
No full textThe role of differential compaction as a control in the creation of accommodation and on compaction-modified depositional features
and stratal geometries across theMaiella platform margin, has been investigated through a combined analysis of seismic scale outcrops,
porosity evaluation and modeling. Geologic evolution and large exposures make the platform margin of the Maiella an ideal place to
investigate the effects of differential compaction.Ahigh-relief cemented carbonate platform, a deep basin filled with highly compactable
deposits, and a prograding grain-rich succession sealing morphologic differences across the platform margin, represent suitable features
for promoting differential compaction.
Stratal relationships across the platform margin exhibit evidence of differential compaction-induced effects, such as basinward
divergence and thickening of strata, updip pinch-out of wedge-shaped stratal packages, and an anticline hinge. Porosity analysis and
modeling indicate that, through progressive loading,mechanical and chemical processes act in concert to destroymost of the depositional
porosity. Mechanical compaction appears to have played the greatest part in the total budget of compaction. However, chemical
compaction seems to have played a prominent role in the formation of geometrically consistent depositional profiles during progradation.
Due to differential compaction across the platformmargin a compaction hinge formed concomitantlywith the beginning of progradation,
producing a basin-facing monocline characterized by the progressive steepening of basinward stratal dips. The resulting compactioninduced
stratal deformation, together with sea level changes, controls the distribution, and depositional timing of wedge-shaped stratal
packages during late Cretaceous and Paleocene and the distribution of coral–algal reef buildups, during the late Eocene–earlyOligocene.
The development of the compaction hinge usually follows the progressive increase of loading, but a decrease in compaction
dissipationmay be caused by overburdening of compactable deposits. This will cause a delayed compaction-induced subsidence, whose
effects will be produced after deposition, i.e. during loading interruption. This mechanism is thought to have an important role in the
timing of compaction-induced subsidence throughout the end of Cretaceous and the early Tertiary, and it is considered, together with sea
level, as themain controlling process of the occurrence and distribution of downslope sediments, during a long-lasting period of platform
emersion

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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe 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
