    Thesis (M. Arch.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Architecture, 1992.Includes bibliographical references (p. 126-128).In this thesis, will design a courthouse building located in the Government Center, Boston. This investigation will eventually lead to the development of a preliminary building system. In order to arrive at this level of investigation, urban issues and internal building organizational issues pertaining to user needs and requirements will both shape the preliminary overall building configuration. Once that configuration is established, I will focus on a specific portion of the overall building to develop a preliminary courthouse building system. I will use the observations and design principles of Herman Hertzberger to aid me in resolving some user needs and requirements when investigating urban as well as internal building organizational issues. Along with a building system methodology throughout the design process, what should result is an efficient courthouse building with a more habitable environment for its users.by Edgar Alexander Quiroz.M.Arch

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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
