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
Wire arc additive manufacturing : methodological guidelines for the generation of raw components with a view to their machining finishing
No full textLa Fabrication Additive Arc-Fil (Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing) est une technologie de fabrication qui utilise du fil métallique comme matière première et un arc électrique comme source d’énergie. Le fil est déposé à une vitesse prédéfinie et fusionné grâce à l'arc électrique, soit sur un substrat, soit sur une couche préexistante. Cette recherche se concentre sur l'utilisation du procédé Cold Metal Transfer (CMT) appliqué à l'acier inoxydable austénitique 316L. Bien que cette technologie soit couramment employée avec succès pour la réparation, le défi actuel réside dans la production en série de pièces fonctionnelles, nécessitant ainsi la résolution de problèmes de conception et de fabrication spécifiques.Le premier objectif de cette thèse est d'évaluer l'impact des paramètres du procédé, en particulier la vitesse d'avance et le temps d'inter-passe, sur les dimensions, la qualité de surface des pièces et sur le parachèvement par usinage. Pour ce faire, un plan d'expériences a été mis en place, impliquant la fabrication de murs multicouches et multi cordons sur un substrat monté sur un support en aluminium. Ensuite, une face de chaque mur fabriqué a été usinée afin de déterminer la profondeur d'usinage nécessaire pour obtenir une surface exempte d'ondulations, et d'analyser la rugosité de surface ainsi que la dureté de ces zones. Enfin, une nouvelle méthode de recouvrement a été développée.Le deuxième objectif consiste à exploiter les résultats obtenus pour développer des méthodes et des règles permettant de passer de la conception 3D à la réalisation d'une pièce finale. Ces méthodes s’appuient sur une phase de fabrication additive et une phase de parachèvement par usinage. Ce processus vise à éliminer les dispersions géométriques et d’état de surface inhérentes au procédé WAAM, à déterminer la surépaisseur d’usinage nécessaire, et à intégrer les problématiques liées aux contraintes générées par le procédé primaire.Le dernier objectif est de comprendre les mécanismes de génération des contraintes résiduelles et des déformations induites par le procédé primaire. Pour ce faire, une modélisation thermomécanique du procédé a été développée. Elle a mis en évidence l'influence de la vitesse d'avance et du temps d'inter-passe sur le comportement thermomécanique.Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing is a manufacturing technology that uses metal wire as the raw material and an electric arc as the energy source. The wire is deposited at a predefined rate and fused by the arc, either onto a substrate or onto a pre-existing layer. This research focuses on the use of the Cold Metal Transfer (CMT) process applied to austenitic 316L stainless steel. While this technology is widely and successfully used for repair, the current challenge lies in the mass production of functional parts, requiring the resolution of specific design and manufacturing issues.The first objective of this thesis is to evaluate the impact of process parameters, in particular travel speed and interpass time, on part dimensions, surface quality and machining finish. To accomplish this, a design of experiments was set up, involving the manufacture of multi-layer, multi-bead walls on a substrate mounted on an aluminum support. Next, one face of each fabricated wall was machined to determine the machining depth required to achieve a waviness-free surface, and to analyze the surface roughness and hardness of these areas. Finally, a new overlapping method was developed.The second objective is to use the results obtained to develop methods and rules for moving from 3D design to the production of a final part. These methods rely on an additive manufacturing phase and a machining finishing phase. This process aims to eliminate geometric and surface finish variations inherent to the WAAM process, determine the necessary machining allowance, and incorporate issues related to the primary process.The final objective is to understand the mechanisms behind the generation of residual stresses and deformations induced by the primary process. To achieve this, a thermomechanical modeling of the process was developed, highlighting the influence of Travel speed and interpass time on the thermomechanical behavior

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.
