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
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
Temperature measurement and estimation while drilling Ti6Al4V alloy
No full textLes alliages base titane sont des matériaux largement utilisés dans l'industrie aéronautique. Parmi ces alliages le Ti6Al4V est le plus répandu. Mais de nombreuses études ont montré que le titane et ses alliages ont une mauvaise usinabilité. Cet état de fait leur a été attribué en raison de leur faible conductivité thermique, qui concentre la chaleur dans la zone de coupe, de leur grande affinité chimique avec les matériaux des outils. Ce travail de thèse est séparé en deux parties, une expérimentale et une numérique qui ont comme finalité la mesure et l'estimation de la température pendant le perçage. Pour l'évaluation de la température 3 techniques de mesure sont utilisées : une première utilisant un thermocouple, placé au plus proche du bec de l'outil, une seconde mesurant la température à l'interface outil/copeau en utilisant l'effet Seebeck : un sandwich Ti/matériau isolant/constantan/matériau isolant/Ti est réalisé et la mesure est faite entre le constantan et l'arrête de l'outil et une dernière présentant des thermocouples montées dans la pièce, devant la pointe du foret, de manière à ce que le foret s'arrête à une distance de 0.1 mm des thermocouples. Pour toutes ces mesures, trois forets différents ont été utilisés. Pour la réalisation de la partie simulation, deux approches, analytique et numérique, ont été utilisées. L’approche analytique permet l'approximation des efforts de coupe pendant le perçage. L'approche par éléments finis, utilisant le logiciel "Advantedge", permet l'évaluation des efforts de coupe et la température en usinage. Le but étant de retrouver le même comportement que dans le cas des essais réalisésThe titanium-based alloys are materials widely used in the aviation industry. Among these alloys Ti6Al4V is the most common. But many studies have shown that titanium and its alloys have poor machinability. This is due to their low thermal conductivity, which concentrates heat from the cutting area, their high chemical affinity with the tool material. This thesis is separated into two parts, an experimental and numerical that are intended for measuring and estimating the temperature during drilling. For the evaluation of the 3 temperature measurement techniques are used: one using a thermocouple placed as close a possible to the corner the tool, a second measuring the temperature at the interface between tool/cutting edge using the Seebeck effect: sandwich Ti / insulation / constantan / insulation / Ti is achieved and the measurement is made between the constantan and the tool edges and a final technique with thermocouples mounted in the workpiece, ahead of the drill point, so that the drill stops at a distance of 0.1 mm from them. For all these measures, three different drills were used. To achieve the simulation part, two approaches, analytical and numerical, have been used. The analytical approach allows the approximation of cutting forces during drilling. The finite element approach, using the software "Advantedge", allows the evaluation of cutting forces and temperature in machining. The goal is to find the same behavior as in the case of measure

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.
