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
Incidence of phenolic compounds oxidation on white wine aromatic component
No full textLes réactions d'oxydation impliquant les composés phénoliques semblent induire des modifications non négligeables du profil chimique et sensoriel des vins. Les travaux concernent l’étude des mécanismes réactionnels impliquant certains thiols volatils, contributeurs de l’arôme distinctif et de la complexité des vins des différents cépages avec les composés phénoliques oxydés des vins blancs, principalement les flavan-3-ols. En solution modèle de composition proche du vin, une réactivité différente des thiols volatils selon leur nature chimique vis à vis des formes oxydées des flavan-3-ols a été établie. La synthèse et la caractérisation des adduits par RMN entre les principaux composés phénoliques des moûts et des vins blancs et le 3-sulfanylhexanol, présentant des nuances d’agrumes, a ensuite été réalisée en conditions d’oxydation chimique et enzymatique. La suivi cinétique de la formation des adduits par CLHP-ESI-SM a permis de mettre en évidence une réactivité du thiol spécifique vis à vis d’un substrat polyphénolique, d’établir le rôle catalytique des métaux (Fe2+) et la capacité antioxydante du dioxyde de soufre vis à vis de ces mécanismes réactionnels. La compréhension de mécanismes fondamentaux de la réactivité de la (+)-catéchine et de la (-)-épicatéchine en conditions œnologiques avec les thiols volatils nous a permis de décliner les travaux à l’étude de l’influence de la présence des flavan-3-ols au cours de la vinification et de l’élevage des vins sur ces composants de l’arôme des vins blancs.Oxidation reactions involving phenolics might change wines chemical and sensory profile. The present work concern the study of reactional mechanisms implying certain volatile thiols, responsible of distinctiveness and complexity of various wines, with white wines oxidized phenolic compounds, mainly flavan-3-ols. In a model wine solution, a different volatile thiol reactivity pattern according to their chemical nature with respect to oxidized flavan-3-ols forms was established. The adducts synthesis and characterization by NMR between the principal white musts and wines phenolic compounds and the 3-sulfanylhexanol, presenting citrus fruits nuances, were carried out under chemical and enzymatic oxidation conditions. Their formation monitoring by HPLC-ESI-MS highlighted a specific reactivity of thiol with polyphenolic substrate and established the catalytic role of metals (Fe2+) as well as, the antioxidant effect of sulphur dioxide into these mechanisms. The comprehension of fundamental mechanisms for the reactivity of (+)-catechin and of (-)-epicatechin with volatile thiols in oenological conditions enabled us to elucidate the influence of flavan-3-ols into white wines aroma compounds during wine making and ageing
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
Characterization of the compounds contributing to fruity aroma of desserts wines via perceptual interactions phenomena
No full textDes études récentes ont démontré l'existence d’un espace sensoriel typique des vins liquoreux de Bordeaux. Des composés volatils de familles chimiques différentes ont été identifiés et corrélés avec la typicité de ces vins. Cependant, les composés responsables des nuances aromatiques de « fruits confits », considérées comme des nuances « clés » de l’arôme des vins liquoreux de pourriture noble, n’avaient pas fait l’objet de recherches préalables. Les analyses classiques des extraits de vin par CPG-SM n'ont pas permis l’identification des composés responsables des nuances de « fruits confits » et plus précisément des notes d’ « orange confite ». Ainsi, une méthode d’étude alternative, reposant sur des approches sensorielles et instrumentales, a été mis en œuvre afin d’étudier les fractions obtenues par CLHP semi préparative. Des tests d’omission ont été réalisés par l’utilisation de la CPG préparative dans le but d’isoler une fraction contenant l’arôme d’ « orange confite ». Ces tests ont mis en évidence l’impact de cette fraction sur l’arôme des vins puisque son omission, au niveau de l’aromagramme, entraine la perte du caractère « fruit confit » dans les extraits. L’application de la CPG multidimensionnelle, il a permis d’identifier une nouvelle lactone spécifique des vins liquoreux, le 2-nonen-4-olide. Les expériences sensorielles de reconstitution et d’omission, menées à partir de fractions de vin ou en milieu modèle ont permis de souligner l’impact de composés clés - lactones, eugénol et 3-sulfanylhexanol - avec le 2-nonen-4-olide dans l’expression aromatique des nuances de « fruits confits », et plus particulièrement d’ « orange confite » au travers d’un phénomène d’accord aromatique. Par ailleurs, les corrélations entre le niveau de typicité de vins liquoreux de Bordeaux et les teneurs de ces composés ont été étudiées. Enfin, la genèse du 2-nonen-olide a été appréciée au cours de la botrytisation de raisins de Sémillon puis pendant l’élevage des vins en barrique.Recent studies have demonstrated the existence of a typical sensory concept for Bordeaux dessert wines. Volatile compounds from several chemical families were identified and correlated with aromatic typicality in these wines. However, the compounds responsible for “key” aromas, particularly those recalling “overripe” fruits, had not previously been interpreted. Classical analysis of wine extracts by GC-MS was not successful in identifing the compounds responsible for these ripe fruity notes. An alternative strategy was developed in this research combining both analytical and sensory studies of wine fractions extracts obtained by semi-preparative HPLC. Omission tests were conducted using preparative GC with cryotrapping in order to evidence the fraction presenting overripe fruit nuances focusing on orange notes. These tests demonstrated the impact of this fraction on the wine aroma, as the overripe fruity note disappeared when this section was not trapped. Multidimensional CPG allowed the identification of a new lactone, 2-nonen-4-olide, typical to dessert wines. Reconstitution and omission tests carried out from wine HPLC fractions or in a model wine medium, highlighted the importance of specific compounds - lactones, eugenol and 3-sulfanylhexanol - with 2-nonen-4-olide, on the overripe fruit aromas expression and particularly on orange notes via perceptual blending. Furthermore, the correlations between the level of typicality of Bordeaux sweet wines and the levels of these compounds were studied. Finally, the evolution of 2-nonen-4-olide was evaluated during the botrytisation of Semillon grapes as well as in wines during aging in barrels
