    Halibut schooner "Jennie F. Decker," ca. 1909

    No full text
    Commercial halibut fishing in the northwest got its start in 1888 when the first railroad carload of fresh Pacific Ocean halibut left for markets in the east. The earliest northwestern halibut fishing boats were sailing schooners. This photo shows the early halibut schooner "Jennie F. Decker" towing a dory. The photo was probably taken near Seattle sometime between 1902 and 1916.1 photographic print mounted on linen: gelatin, b&w; 13 x 18 cm

    The electrochromic response of tungsten bronzes M(x)WO(3) with different ions and insertion rates

    The electrochemical intercalation of Li+ and Na+ into thin WO3 films prepared by evaporation (130 nm thick) has been performed starting from liquid electrolytes with very low water content (< 20 ppm). Transmittance and reflectance measurements have been performed 'in-situ' during the electrochemical formation of the tungsten bronzes under controlled current. For inserted charges larger than 20 mCcm(-2) there is an optical transition responsible for a pale yellow coloration instead of the typical dark blue. This transition is irreversible since the subsequent bleaching of the film is not complete and a part of the inserted charge cannot be extracted again. When the insertion rate is high (0.4 mAcm(-2)) the irreversible transition occurs earlier (around 10 mCcm(-2)) in the case of Na+, which is known to diffuse slowly into the film. This limit composition for reversible electrochromic reaction is therefore reached earlier near the film surface, where the accumulation of the Na ions is responsible for an optical transition seen in the reflectance and for a phase change shown by a typical inflection in the electrode potential curve

    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

    Variations on the Author

    “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 link
    We 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
