Introduction: Law and Smell
No full textSmell, like taste, manifests itself only when stimulated, making it hard to recall its effect outside that moment of direct exposure. Although often the ‘forgotten sense’, the olfactory is the most potent way of anchoring ourselves to the world. Nonetheless, it remains the most surpressed and downgraded of the senses, because it is closely related to our bodily functions – our animality. This chapter explores the meanings that ‘smell’ has and sets out the case for an examination of the law that takes account of smell, noting that they share similar qualities, both having the potential to perform the same acts of unification and division when constructing normative spaces. It concludes with a summary of the chapters that follow
LMYE Salon #5: Sara Ramshaw & Danilo Mandic - Law as Sonic Performance
No full textLooking into concepts such as law and justice, structure and form, listening and hearing, improvisation and composition, and machine listening, Mandic and Ramshaw question the ways in which sound and law are similar, focusing on their elusive and material qualities.

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
Simulation Model for Functionalized Vesicles: Lipid-Peptide Integration in Minimal Protocells
No full textA recently developed and presented stochastic simulation platform ('ENVIRONMENT' [12, 25]), which extends Gillespie's algorithm for chemically reacting, fixed-volume, homogeneous systems to volume-changing and globally heterogeneous conditions, is applied to investigate the dynamic behaviour of self-(re-)producing vesicles whose membrane consists of both lipids and small peptides. We claim that it is through the integration of these two types of relatively simple -and prebiotically plausible- components that protocells could start their development into functional supramolecular structures, allowing the formation of increasingly complex reaction networks in their internal aqueous milieu. The model is not spatially explicit, but takes into account quite realistically volume-surface constraints, osmotic pressure, diffusion/transport processes, structural elasticity. In this framework the time evolution of non-equilibrium proto-metabolic cellular systems is studied, paying special attention to the capacity of the system to get rid of its waste material, which proved critical for balanced cell growth (avoiding the risk of an osmotic burst). We also investigate the effects of including an explicit feedback mechanism in the system: the case in which waste transport mediated by peptide chains takes place only under osmotic stress conditions
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
