Due to Coronavirus emergency and to protect the health and safety to all our participants, the 10th
Edition, scheduled during May 18-21, 2020, and then May 16-20, 2021, was postponed to May
15-19, 2022, and termed as ICIPE 22.
Since the first ICIPE in 1993, this conference has served as the main international venue for
collaboration and interaction between applied mathematicians who develop inverse analysis tools,
and engineers who use these tools in many different disciplines of science such as manufacturing
and machining processes, medical imaging, oil exploration, radar, sonar and seismology, space
applications, non-destructive testing and so on. The 2022 meeting continued this tradition, with
more than 50 delegates from many sub-disciplines of engineering, science, and applied
mathematics. The number of participants was lower than the standard number of 80 – 120 due to
both covid travel restrictions in some Asian and American countries and conflict in Ukraine

Drug delivery and in vivo absorption
No full textIt is probably not well known that 4000 years B.C. Sumerians were able to prepare many medicaments and illness was considered a sort of divine punishment while healing was the consequent purification, a viewpoint that have heavily affected the western world up to the modern age. The scientific darkness permeating Europe after the end of the Roman Empire favoured the survival of this concept while the golden age of the Arab Science (9th -13th centuries) and Renaissance represented the seeds of a paramount change. However, it is only at the end of the 19th century that, under a rigorous experimental Galilean approach, the real origins of many diseases were discovered. As a matter of fact, the modern age of drug delivery started after the 2nd world war and the first example of mathematical modelling in this field dates back to 1961. The clear affirmation of mathematical modelling in the biopharmaceutical field took place in the last twenty years of the 20th century thanks to valuable researchers such as Peppas and Langer. The third millennium opened with new important challenges such as the simultaneous modelling of drug release, Adsorption, Distribution Metabolism and Elimination (ADME), processes that rule drug fate in vivo. Thus, the aim of this chapter is to describe and to comment the most recent advances in the mathematical modelling of drug release and ADME processes in the light of Paracelsus’ belief of the human body as a chemical plant
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
Get PDFWe 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
