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
OPTIMIZATION OF DECOMPOSITION AND REDUCTION PROCESSES IN CLOSED SYSTEM FOR DETERMINATION OF TITANIUM DIOXIDE MASS CONCENTRATION IN REAL SAMPLES
Get PDFNamen diplomskega dela je optimizacija procesov razkroja in redukcije vzorcev iz proizvodnje pigmentnega titanovega(IV) oksida v zaprtem sistemu. Sledila je potenciometrična določitev vsebnosti titanovega(III) oksida ter železovega(II) oksida v razkrojenih in reduciranih vzorcih. Kot sistem za razkroj in redukcijo smo uporabljali zaprt mikrovalovni razklop.
Glavni namen uporabe zaprtega sistema razkroja in redukcije je preprečitev stika s škodljivimi plini. Razkroje in redukcije v mikrovalovni pečici smo izvajali z realnimi vzorci iz proizvodnje. Določili smo pogoje razkroja in redukcije za različne vzorce tako, da so istočasno v mikrovalovni pečici različni vzorci. V mikrovalovni pečici je lahko istočasno do 16 vzorcev. Zaradi tega se skupen čas reakcije za posamezen vzorec podaljša, skrajša pa se skupen čas za razkoj in redukcijo večjega števila vzorcev.
Potenciometrična titracija s KMnO4 omogoča sočasno določitev Ti3+ in Fe2+ v istem vzorcu, kar nam omogoča razlika potencialov med Ti3+ in Fe2+ v raztopini.
Rezultati vsebnosti TiO2 (g/l) in Fe (g/l) v vzorcih, ki so bili razkrojeni in reducirani v mikrovalovni pečici ter dobljeni z avtomatsko potenciometrično titracijo s KMnO4, so ustrezni, točni in natančni. Z razvito metodologijo lahko uspešno nadomestimo metode, ki se trenutno uporabljajo v Kontroli proizvodnega procesa pigmentnega titanovega(IV) oksida.The purpose of the thesis is the optimisation of the processes of reduction and decomposition of samples from the production of pigmented titanium (IV) oxide in a closed system. Then followed the potentiometric determination of the volume of titanium (III) oxide and iron (II) oxide in reduces and disrupted samples. The closed system for decomposition and reduction in my case was the microwave oven.
The main purpose of the use of closed systems for degradation and reduction is to avoid harmful gases. The redactions and decomposition in the microwave oven were carried out with real production samples. We determined the conditions for the decomposition and reduction for different samples, so that different samples are simultaneously in the microwave oven. The microwave oven can take 16 samples at the same timetherefore the common reaction time for each samples increases and the common time for the degradation and reduction of a larger number of samples decreases.
The potentiometric titration with KMnO4 enables the determination of Ti3+ and Fe2+ in the same sample, which is enabled by the difference of potentials between Ti3+ and Fe2+ in the solution.
The results of the content of TiO2 (g/l) and Fe (g/l) samples, which were degraded and reduced in the microwave oven and gained with automatic potentiometric titration with KMnO4, are satisfying. With new methods we can replace the current methods used in the controll of the production process of titanium(IV) oxide
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
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
