An investigation of Fang-ming Chen\ue2s discourses on nation and liberalism
No full textAfter the end of martial law in late 1980s, the political discourse by Fang-ming Chen, one of the proponents of Taiwan\ue2s nation building, has been taken as an indicator among Taiwan\ue2s Pan- green group. While Chen has self-reported as an liberalist, how could he remains a die hard nationalist? How did he deal with the contradiction between liberalism and nationalism? Or the declaration and practice are two different things. This thesis departs from the statement that Chen is a classic liberalist, follows, as well as does detailed reading of the content of his personal life, observes the ingredients of liberalism which have been instilled into his life to cultivate his thought of liberalism. This thesis also explores Chen\ue2s level of liberalism. Is it a deep belief, or just a mean of power
struggling? The author deeply believe that as a belief, liberalism is a goal deserved for seeking without regrets, while as a mean, liberalism is disposable.
To examine the essence of Chen\ue2s thought of liberalism, the author puts emphasis on analyzing Chen\ue2s discourses on Taiwan nation, Taiwan independence, transitional justice as well as
Cross-Strait relations. The relation between Chen\ue2s related political discourses and his perspective of classic liberalism is intriguing.
Even though Dworkin\ue2s take of liberalism stresses precarious republicanism, public will and positive liberty rather than individual
liberty, will and negative liberty, scholars still regard him as a liberalist according to his way of discussion, not the nature of the object. Since Chen is neither a constructor nor an assistant of theory of liberalism, for the author to prove or disprove Chen\ue2s stand of liberalism is to examine his discourses and practice. Is Chen
become more of liberalism or less of it? From the spirit of liberalism, any construction should be examined by time, including the author\ue2s
argument. Whether Chen could become a liberalist as declared by himself has become the battle inside him
Evaluation of Lubricant Viscosity and Base Oil Effects by Form Tapping Test
Full text linkIn order to correlate the effect of lubricant viscosity and base oil on the efficiency of a lubricant, we measure the variation of tapping torque according to ASTM D5619 standard. Three fully formulated lubricants containing the same additive package but having different viscosities are tested in the first part of the experiment. The effect of chemically active and chemically non-active paraffinic base oils combined with a sulphur additive is studied in the second part. The nature of the tribofilm created at the bottom of the threads formed during the second part of the study is characterized by X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS). The aim is to associate the surface analysis results with the efficiency obtained during the form tapping tests. The results show that the lubricant viscosity does not have any influence on the tapping torque values whereas physico-chemical interactions between different base oils and a sulphur additive can modify importantly the overall efficiency of lubricant

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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 linkWe 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

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe 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
