    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

    Prehistoric Terracottas from the Libyan Tadrart Acacus – Thermoanalytical Study and Characterization

    The specimens studied in the present work consist of five terracotta fragments from an archaeological dig on the Libyan Tadrart Acacus massif, dating back to about 5000-8000 B. C. The specimens were analysed using thermogravimetric analysis (TG, DTG), differential thermal analysis (DTA), thermomechanical analysis (TMA), X-ray diffractometry, IR spectrophotometry and inductively coupled plasma spectroscopy (ICP). Analyses were aimed in particular to determine the most striking aspect of the finds, the difference in colour between the outer surface ( reddish) and the darker inner portion of several of the specimens. The other main points investigated and discussed are related to the firing temperature and chemical and mineralogical composition, of terracotta specimens
