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
Chromatographic and stability evaluations of stationary phases prepared by thermal immobilization of polysiloxanes onto silica surfaces
No full textOrientador: Carol Hollingworth CollinsTese (doutorado) - Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Instituto de QuímicaResumo: As propriedades cromatográficas e a estabilidade de fases estacionárias preparadas pela imobilização térmica do poli(metiloctilsiloxano) ou do poli(metiltetradecilsiloxano) sobre a sílica foram avaliadas. Para isso, fora empregados os testes de Engelhardt, Tanaka e SRM 870. O estudo dos mecanismos envolvidos na retenção de solutos básicos nestas fases estacionárias foi feita com um teste desenvolvido em nosso laboratório, que consiste em avaliar os fatores de retenção e a assimetria de solutos hidrofóbicas e hidrofílicas em fases móveis com diferentes valores de pH, preparadas com diferentes tipos e concentrações de tampão. A avaliação das fases estacionárias com os testes SRM 870 e de Tanaka mostram uma alta contribuição dos fenômenos de troca iônica para retenção dos solutos básicos e a comparação dos valores obtidos com o teste de Tanaka, segundo o modelo de Euerby, mostrou que estas fases estacionárias apresentam propriedades cromatográficas distintas da maioria das fases comerciais, embora alguma similaridade tenha sido observada com as fases estacionárias que também apresentam altas contribuições de fenômenos de troca iônica na retenção de solutos básicos. O novo teste desenvolvido mostrou que a retenção de solutos básicos acontece devido a interações sinérgicas dos silanóis residuais com os polisiloxanos imobilizados na forma de gotas sobre a sílica. Devido a estas interações, o pH da fase móvel, o tipo e a concentração de tampão afetam intensamente os fatores de retenção e a assimetria de solutos básicos. Algumas das fases estacionárias apresentaram boa seletividade e picos simétricos para solutos básicos em fases móveis neutras, onde os solutos estam protonados e os silanóis residuais estão desprotonados. Os testes de estabilidade demonstraram que algumas das fases estacionárias são altamente estáveis em fases móveis neutras em temperatura ambiente e em fases móveis ácidas, mesmo a altas temperaturas. No entanto, estas se mostraram instáveis em fases móveis alcalinas mesmo em temperatura ambiente, conforme esperado para fases estacionárias preparadas pela imobilização de polissiloxanos sobre a sílicaAbstract: This work has evaluated the chromatographic properties and the stability of stationary phases prepared by with poly(methyloctylsiloxane) or poly(methyltetradecylsiloxane) thermally immobilized onto a silica surface. The stationary phases were chromatographically evaluated using the Engelhardt, SRM 870 and Tanaka tests. The retention mechanisms involved during the separation of basic solutes with these stationary phases were evaluated using a test developed in our laboratory that evaluates the effect of the mobile phases with different pH, and type and concentration of buffer on the retention factors and asymmetry of several basic solutes (with hydrophobic or hydrophilic characteristics). Evaluations with the SRM 870 and Tanaka tests showed that there is a high contribution of ionexchange interactions at neutral pH. Classifications using the Euerby¿s procedure indicate that the stationary phases developed in this work are different from most commercial ones, although some similarity was found with the phases that have high ion-exchange interactions. Also, the retention of basic solutes occurs due to synergetic interactions between the free silanols with the immobilized polysiloxanes, which are in the form of plugs on the silica surface. Due to these interactions the pH of the mobile phase, and the type and concentration of buffer have a strong effect on the retention factors and asymmetry factors of basic solutes. The stationary phases present good selectivity at near neutral pH, where both the basic solutes and free silanols are protonated, suggesting the use of intermediate pH for basic solute analyses. Stability tests show that the stationary phases have high stability in neutral mobile phases at room temperature and also in acidic mobile phases, even at high temperatures. However, these phases have low stability in alkaline mobile phases, even at room temperature, which was expected for polysiloxanes immobilized onto silicaDoutoradoQuimica AnaliticaDoutor em Ciência
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

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.
