Monning 312 West Leuda Fort Worth, Texas Dear Mr. Monning: I appreciate your letter of January 15th and the offer to help pay for the meteorite if it can be purchased. Up to the present time the owners have an enormously exaggerated idea of the selling price of the stone. They told me they had two offers which I do not believe to be genuine offers. These gave them their big ideas. I suggested to them that they accent one of the offers mentioned and I talked to them for some time about safeguarding their stone so that it would not get out of their hands without their getting the full amount of the offer. Mr. Nininger of Denver was passing through Joplin, Missouri, so he came on down here to see the stones and look over the territory where the two stones were found. I had a very pleasant and instructive visit with him. The sulphur in the stones was. detected by applying hydrochloric acid to a portion of the unburned surface. This is the only test that has been made. I expect to get Mr. Nininger to make a petrographic analysis but am waiting on negotiations for the larger stone. So far no other pieces have been found.

No full textLetter from Davis P. Richardson at the University of Arkansas responding to Mr. Monnig regarding the purchase of the Fayetteville Arkansas meteorite.UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS COLLEGE OF ARTS AND SCIENCES FAYETTEVILLE DEPARTMENT OF MATHEMATICS AND ASTRONOMY January 11, 1935 Mr. Oscar B. Monning 312 West Leuda Fort Worth, Texas Dear Sir: The meteor which fell four miles west of Fayetteville on December 26 was recovered while it was still warm by two men who happened to be working near the place of fall. Needless to say, the men were quite excited and their excitement is not completely gone yet. They still have possession of the stone but when its newness wears off I hope to get possession of it for the University museum. This piece weighs five pounds. Its specific gravity is 3.6. Microscopic examination shows the greyish color resembling limestone with some metal particles. The stone contains sulphur. No chemical analysis has been made as yet, so this is all the information I can give you as to its composition. A piece of stone weighing four ounces was found on January 3 about three and one-half miles from the place where the first stone was dug up. I believe this piece had been broken off of the larger piece. Of course, only minute examination will prove whether this piece is g meteor r not. This four ounce piece is now the property of the university museum and will soon be mounted for exhibit. If you would like more details I will be glad to supply them for you. very truly yours, Davis P. Richardson DPR/INH
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
