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
Impact of Environmental Moisture on the Intensification of Tropical Cyclone in the Bay of Bengal using WRF-ARW Model
No full textThis thesis is submitted to the Department of Physics, Khulna University of Engineering & Technology in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Physics, March 2018.Cataloged from PDF Version of Thesis.Includes bibliographical references (pages 90-95).Comprehensive sensitivity analysis on physical parameterization schemes of Advanced Weather Research and Forecasting model (ARW-WRF v3.8.1) has been carried out for the impact of environmental moisture on the intensification of TC Hudhud and TC Mora, which formed in the Bay of Bengal and crossed the eastern coast of India on 12 October 2014 and Bangladesh on 30 May 2017 respectively. The initial and boundary conditions of tropical cyclone (TC) are drawn from the global operational analysis and forecast products of National Center for Environmental Prediction (NCEP-GFS) available for the public at 1°×1o resolution. The model was run by using WSM6-class graupel, Thomson graupel, WDM6-class graupel and NSSL momentum-1 microphysics (MP) schemes coupling with Kain-Fritsch (KF) cumulus parameterization (CP) scheme and four different initial conditions of each cyclone. The model domain consists of 8-24oN and 77-96oE and has 9km horizontal resolution with 19 vertical sigma levels. The model was run for 168, 144, 120 and 96-h using the initial conditions at 0000 UTC of 6, 7, 8 and 9 October 2014 for TC Hudhud and 0000 UTC of 25, 26, 27 and 28May 2017 for TC Mora. We have considered (17-20oN & 85-88oE) and (7-10oN & 92-95oE) positions of TC Hudhud and (20-22oN & 88-92oE) and (8-10oN & 86-90oE) positions of TC Mora as the front and rear positions of TCs respectively to analyze the impact of environmental moisture on the intensification of TC. Track of TCs, Maximum wind speed at 10m level, Minimum Sea level pressure (SLP), Convective available potential energy (CAPE), Convective inhibition (CIN), Relative Humidity (RH), Specific Humidity (SH), Water vapor mixing ratio (WVMR) at 2 meter level, Temperature anomaly, Wind speed (WS) and Wind direction (WD) at different levels have been simulated and analyzed in rear and front positions.
The area average CIN, WVMR, RH, WS, SH, and temperature are found to increase in front and rear position continuously for all MPs before the landfall for all initial conditions. CAPE is found to increase at front position and decrease at rear position with respect to time for all initial conditions. Due to the northeasterly to easterly wind from surface to 200 hPa level during 8-10 October 2014 and southeasterly wind on 11 October at front position the TC Hudhud moved towards eastern coast of India and for southwesterly wind in the upper troposphere during 27-29 May 2017 and westerly wind at all levels on 30 May the TC Mora moved towards Bangladesh coast.Sumon Kumar DasMaster of Science in Physic
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

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.
