RIGTID
No full textThe program RIGTID together with its subroutines computes the tidal accelerations on a rigid earth, i. e. no response of the Earth is considered. The tidal accelerations are calculated directly from the positions of moon and sun separately, i. e. if wanted two groups of tides (solar or lunar) can be handled differently. The program does not use a potential development, it includes the second, third, and fourth degree potential of the moon, but only the second degree potential of the sun. It treats the earth as an elliptically shaped body but does not include the direct effect of the earth's ellipticity on the tidal accelerations (Wilhelm 1983 and Dahlen 1993). It also does not take into account the speed of light. No planets are included, this is discussed by Broucke, Zuern, and Slichter, (1972, DOI: 10.1029/GM016p0319). This program was developed at UCLA in 1971/72 by Walter Zuern with the help of subroutines provided by Roger Broucke from JPL describing the position of the moon much more accurately than is done by the program developed by Longman previously. The description of the celestial mechanics of the Earth-Moon-Sun system was still very accurate in 2017 when compared to ephemerides, which are the basis of the most modern tidal potential catalogues. The program was originally already intended for free distribution ("open source" in 2017 speak). It has happened before that modifications were made in the main program by some people (rigtid.f) which were later detected to be faulty. It is recommended that users track the path of their version either starting at UCLA (probably not possible any more) or at BFO in order to be sure that no unwanted modifications crept in. If the program is used and an author wants a reference, the above (short) publication is the only one available.Source code of Fortran progra
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
„Rätselhaftes Signal aus dem Nordatlantik“ – Geophysiker des Black Forest Observatory und ein internationales Forschungsteam erklären Naturphänomen im grönländischen Dickson-Fjord. - Campus-Report am 03.12.2024
No full textUnser Planet gleicht einer riesigen Klangschale. Allerdings sind seine tiefen Schwingungen meist für den Menschen nicht hörbar. Die Schwerkraft der Luftmassen bringt ihn ebenso zum Schwingen wie die Wassermassen der Weltmeere, wenn Winde die Wellen antreiben. Und auch mehr oder weniger starke Erbebenwellen durchlaufen die Erde im Sekundentakt. Diese Schwingungen möglichst genau zu messen und die so entstandenen Seismogramme zu lesen wie eine Art EKG des Planeten, ist Aufgabe des geowissenschaftlichen Observatoriums in Schiltach. Das Black Forest Observatory wird vom Karlsruher Institut für Technologie und von der Universität Stuttgart betrieben. Am 16. September 2023, ein Samstag, zeichneten die Messinstrumente plötzlich ein geheimnisvolles Signal auf. Ein Signal, dass die Forschenden dort noch nie empfangen hatten.

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
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
