Keith Ellenbogen: Ocean Visualization: Discovering New York
No full textFour faculty received release time under the Center for Innovation Research Release Time Program, which was established last year to provide two semesters of release time for classroom faculty to pursue innovative research projects at the Brooklyn Navy Yard; they began working on-site in Spring 2020, but had to continue their efforts remotely. They will be presenting their research on the following topics: Keith Ellenbogen - Ocean Visualization: Discovering New York; Alexander Nagel - Antiquities Among Us: A Collaboration on the Fate of Brooklyn Navy Yard’s First Old-World Museum Collections; Theanne Schiros - Materials Science-Led Design for Innovation in Sustainability; Amy Sperber - Fashion Avatars: a Database for Diverse Bodies.In addition to these presentations, attendees learned more about the Innovation Center at FIT, including how to apply for release time. We will also be joined by Lucia DeRespinis, Executive Director of the Office of Grants & Sponsored Programs, who will be sharing insight on working with their office to secure grants.Associate Professor Keith Ellenbogen is working at the intersection of art, science and technology to raise environmental awareness about marine life within Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary located in Massachusetts Bay. Ellenbogen is one of the first FIT faculty to conduct research at the FIT Center for Innovation, FIT’s latest outpost at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. His research focuses on exploring cutting-edge, lens-based media technologies to create immersive and innovative large-scale public art installations, 360-degree virtual-reality experiences, and a planetarium full-dome projection that focuses on inner space (the water planet). The public-art exhibitions and immersive visual experiences will be complemented with science-based storytelling to build ocean awareness, foster environmental stewardship, and increase understanding of the key role that “natural” systems play in societal resilience to environmental change.Due to COVID-19, Professor Ellenbogen’s artistic approach will focus on immersive installations within both the physical and virtual world—allowing viewers to experience the sensation of swimming in the ocean with fish and marine mammals without getting wet.Professor Ellenbogen is also an International League of Conservation Photographers (iLCP) fellow. In partnership with more than 100 photographers around the world, the mission of iLCP is to further environmental and cultural conservation through photography. The organization “coordinates Conservation Photography Expeditions to get world-renowned photographers in the field teamed with scientists, writers, videographers and conservation groups to gather visual assets that are used to create conservation communications campaigns to foment conservation successes.
Anthony Ellenbogen, \u2782 (BardCorps)
No full textEllenbogen recalls coming to Bard as a photography major and leaving with a degree in economics; taking high level math classes along with art classes; playing the clarinet in Luis Garcia Renart\u27s Performance class; meeting his wife Kristina Mickelson, \u2783; becoming friends with Dick Wiles and Joe Morreale in the Economics Department; not \u27fitting the bill\u27 of the typical Bard student; playing softball as the founder and captain of the Master Batters; working part time as an economics tutor, and for B&G; the library as the best place on campus to take naps; and very heavy smoking on campus. He has childhood memories of visiting campus with his mother Kit Ellenbogen, \u2752; the Blithewood pool with the waterfall and mosquitos the \u27size of sparrows\u27; free orange soda at Blithewood picnics. He lived on campus for four years; and recalls a fire in his dorm, which was one of the Ravines. He regrets that there was no serious gym or student center, and that the small size of the school meant that a student\u27s interest in a particular field was dependent on hitting it off with the personality of the department head. He has come to appreciate Leon Botstein and everything that Bard has become because of him. Overall, Bard was the \u27right fit.\u27https://digitalcommons.bard.edu/oral_hist/1008/thumbnail.jp
Kit Ellenbogen, \u2752 (BardCorps)
No full textKit Ellenbogen remembers immigrating to America in 1941 and choosing a new name, Kit; seeking out a small college at a suitable distance from her home in New York City; a sense of comfort when visiting Bard that was absent from her visit to Vassar; being part of the first decade of women accepted to Bard; living in Potter for two years before transferring to South Hall; foregoing her study abroad experience in Europe at the start of the Korean War; finding academic passion and influence outside of the psychology department; finding her own voice in the classroom with the support of Irma Brandeis while studying Anna Karenina; learning to value her own opinions over critical sources; studying music composition with Clair Leonard. She recalls crafting a new Constitution for Bard while studying community government and recognizing that project as the acorn of her decision to go to law school at age 54. She reflects on what it means to be a Bardian sixty years on.https://digitalcommons.bard.edu/oral_hist/1009/thumbnail.jp

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
A Partnership for Change Forged in the Steel City: Michael Musmanno & Henry Ellenbogen
No full textIn 1930 author R.L. Duffus, in article entitled “Is Pittsburgh Civilized?” characterized the city as being under the control of a clique of Scots-Irish big businessmen. While this was true at the moment Duffus was writing, the winds of change were blowing. By 1935, the city’s diverse ethnic and racial minorities had jelled together into a durable coalition that moved Pittsburgh from the Republican to the Democratic column. Exemplars of this change were two very different young lawyers who first came into prominence in the late 1920s – Michael A. Musmanno and Henry Ellenbogen: one Italian and the other Jewish, united in a common purpose. Both of them liberals, they eventually became associated with the New Deal, sharing a strong pro-labor bent. They would cooperate closely over the course of their long careers. The first instance of this cooperation came in 1929 at the start of their public lives with their joint effort to end Pennsylvania’s Coal and Iron Police system. Musmanno, fresh from his work as a member of the Sacco & Vanzetti defense team, had recently been elected to Pennsylvania’s State House, representing its 12th legislative district. Ellenbogen was working at the time as General Counsel for Pittsburgh’s newly created branch of the American Civil Liberties Union. In this effort, these two men took on Pittsburgh’s, and by extension Pennsylvania’s, power elite. While both men eventually went on to distinguished careers in public life, this initial fight would always be a touchstone for each of them. This paper looks at their partnership in this effort, how it worked, and how it was a harbinger of the major political shift that was soon to take place in Pittsburgh’s politics
Variations on the Author
No full text“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
No full textWe 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
