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
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

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe 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
Biomassa de peixes ? subsidiada por recursos al?ctones em um reservat?rio subtropical rec?m-formado: aumento da aloctonia para ?reas rip?rias preservadas
No full textEcological quality and the functioning of rivers are strongly influenced by their riparian
region, which can directly affect the distribution of food resources and consequently the
feeding relationships of biological communities living in aquatic environments. In this
sense, the aim of this research was to identify the basal resources that originated the
fish biomass in the Passo S?o Jo?o reservoir (Iju? River-RS, Brazil) comparing littoral
areas with riparian forests and of open canopy. Sampling was carried out in two
seasons of the year (spring/2017 and summer/2018). A total of 177 muscle samples
belonging to nine species of fish and 51 bulk samples of basal resources (benthic
algae, fine particulate organic matter, terrestrial vegetation and debris) were collected in
four areas for preserved riparian forest and four areas of open canopy. The carbon and
nitrogen isotopic signatures of the fish generally reflected the importance of terrestrial
vegetation as a basal energetic resource, however, differences were observed when
isotopic signatures of fish coming from areas of riparian forest and open canopy were
compared. The origin of the total biomass of fish showed clearly that there is an
increasing allochthonous support to biomass towards the riparian forest, subsidizing
around 70% of the total fish biomass in the riparian forest areas vs. around 57% of
biomass in the open canopy areas. Most herbivorous-detritivorous fish increased their
autochthonous supported biomass towards the open canopy areas. However,the
omnivores-carnivorous showed a consistent pattern of allochthonous supported
biomass for all species in both areas, but with a slightly higher contribution of
allochthonous resources in riparian areas 83.4 (74.3-92.7) than in open canopy 70.5
(56.7-83.0), considering average values and a 95% credibilty intervals. On the other
hand, the results obtained from the volumes of stomach contents of the species studied
did not present differences between the food items consumed in both areas. The
present study shows that the riparian forest represents an important energetic subsidy
for several fish species and its removal may cause a limitation in the supply of food
items, affecting the trophic structure of the fish communityA qualidade ecol?gica e o funcionamento dos rios s?o fortemente influenciados pela
sua regi?o ribeirinha, o que pode afetar diretamente a distribui??o dos recursos
alimentares e, consequentemente, as rela??es de alimenta??o das comunidades
biol?gicas que vivem em ambientes aqu?ticos. Nesse sentido, o objetivo desta
pesquisa foi identificar os recursos basais que originaram a biomassa de peixes no
reservat?rio de Passo S?o Jo?o (rio Iju?-RS, Brasil) comparando ?reas litor?neas com
matas ciliares e de copa aberta. A amostragem foi realizada em duas esta??es do ano
(primavera / 2017 e ver?o / 2018). Um total de 177 amostras musculares pertencentes
a nove esp?cies de peixes e 51 amostras de recursos basais (algas bent?nicas,
mat?ria org?nica particulada fina, vegeta??o terrestre e detritos) foram coletadas em
quatro ?reas de mata ciliar preservada e quatro ?reas de copa aberta. As assinaturas
isot?picas de carbono e nitrog?nio do peixe geralmente refletiram a import?ncia da
vegeta??o terrestre como recurso energ?tico basal, entretanto, diferen?as foram
observadas quando se compararam assinaturas isot?picas de peixes provenientes de
?reas de mata ciliar e copa aberta. A origem da biomassa total de peixes mostrou
claramente que h? um crescente apoio al?ctone ? biomassa em dire??o ? mata ciliar,
subsidiando cerca de 70% da biomassa total de peixes nas ?reas de mata ciliar versus
cerca de 57% da biomassa nas ?reas de copa aberta . A maioria dos peixes
herb?voros-detrit?voros aumentou sua biomassa aut?ctone apoiada em dire??o ?s
?reas de copa aberta. No entanto, os on?voros-carn?voros apresentaram um padr?o
consistente de biomassa al?ctone suportada para todas as esp?cies em ambas as
?reas, mas com uma contribui??o ligeiramente maior de recursos al?ctones nas ?reas
de mata ciliar 83,4 (74,3-92,7) e menor no dossel aberto 70,5 (56,7-83,0), considerando
valores m?dios e um intervalo de credibilidade de 95%. J? os resultados obtidos a
partir de volumes de itens do conte?do estomacal das esp?cies estudadas, a maioria
n?o apresentou diferen?as entre os itens alimentares consumidos em ambas as ?reas.
O presente estudo mostra que a mata ciliar representa um importante subs?dio
energ?tico para diversas esp?cies de peixes e sua remo??o pode causar uma limita??o
no suprimento de alimentos, afetando a estrutura tr?fica da comunidade de peixes

Progress in IS. Cham: Springer ; 2021: 67-76.Digital research infrastructures can be divided into four categories: large equipment, IT infrastructure, social infrastructure, and information infrastructure. Modern research institutions often employ both IT infrastructure and information infrastructure, such as databases or large-scale research data. In addition, information infrastructure depends to some extent on IT infrastructure. In this paper, we discuss the IT, information, and legal infrastructure issues that research institutions face

Self-similar regimes in Unstably Stratified Homogeneous Turbulence
No full textUnstably stratified homogeneous turbulence develops at late time a self-similar dynamics characterized by an exponential growth of turbulent quantities. It is believed from recent theoretical studies that different growth rates are possible, depending on the initial distribution of energy at large scales. In order to confirm these predictions, we run both highly resolved direct numerical simulations and a spectral model based on an eddy-damped quasi-normal closure. In addition to confirming the influence of initial conditions, our study sheds light on the anisotropic structures of the self-similar regimes
