The construction of Karen Karnak: The multi-author-function
No full textThis thesis is situated within the comparatively recent developments of Web 2.0 and the emergence of interactive WikiMedia, and explores the mode of authorship within a Read/Write culture compared to that of a Read/Only tradition. The hypothesis of this study is that the role of the audience has become merged with the author, and as such, represents new functions and attributes, distinct from a more conventional concept of authorship, in which the roles of audience and author are more separate. Read/Write and participatory culture, as defined by this study, is focused on collaboration, and includes the influences of D.I.Y. culture, Open-Source practices and the production of text by multiple authors. Multi-authorship presents a re-thinking of several concepts which support the notion of the individual author, since the focus of multi-authorship is not on attribution and ownership of a finished text, but on the continued malleability of a text. Modes of multi-authorship, demonstrated in the use of the pseudonyms Alan Smithee and Karen Eliot, represent declarative authors whose names signify multiple origins, whilst concurrently indicating a distinct body of work. The function of these names form an important context to this study, since primary research involves the construction of an experimental mode of multi-authorship utilising WikiMedia technology and the interaction of thirty nine participants, who are invited to create a body of work under the collective pseudonym Karen Karnak. The data generated by this experiment is analysed using aspects of Michel Foucault's author-function to identify and determine power structures inherent in the WikiMedia context. The interplay of power structures, including concepts such as identity, ownership and the body of work, affect the resulting mode of authorship and contribute to the construction of Karen Karnak, suggesting further areas of research into the emerging multi-author

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe 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
A general procedure for infrared thermography heat transfer measurements in hypersonic wind tunnels
No full textHeat transfer measurements in hypersonic wind tunnels are particularly challenging when dealing with fully three-dimensional geometries and/or flows with high spatial temperature gradients. In the present work, a full and consistent description of a general procedure to perform infrared thermography heat transfer measurements is proposed. Radiometric and optical camera calibration, spectral directional emissivity characterization, model oscillations correction and 3D surface temperature reconstruction problems are theoretically and practically analyzed along with new solutions. A novel hybrid heat transfer problem is proposed. This technique is based on the solution of the direct problem during the wind tunnel unsteady start-up to accurately estimate the initial condition for the inverse problem solution during the quasi-steady test phase. The data reduction procedure was validated through an experimental campaign conducted in the Boeing/AFOSR Mach-6 Quiet Tunnel on a sharp cone at 0 deg angle of attack. The experimental Stanton number obtained by solving a one-dimensional heat transfer problem is in agreement with the theoretical laminar solution for a range of free-stream conditions with an average error between −1.1÷0.64% and a standard deviation of 1.55%. Finally, a two-dimensional heat transfer problem has been solved when the cone is tested at 6 deg angle of attack demonstrating the IR procedure capability to analyze multi-dimensional flows and to take into account tangential conduction effects caused by surface temperature gradients due to the presence of crossflow vortices
