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
Vergleichende Untersuchungen über die Flüssigentmistung in Rinderlaufställen
No full textDie Untersuchungen zur Bestimmung der Konsistenz von Gülle und Flüssigmist ergaben einen Vorschlag zur objektiven Beurteilung nach den allgemein gültigen und verständlichen Begriffen "wässrig, suppig, breiig, sumpfig und fest" mit jeweiligen Zwischenstufen. Zur Ermittlung eines objektiven Maßstabes für die Dungkonsistenz wurde das Fließvermögen auf einer schiefen Ebene untersucht. Der grobe Feststoffanteil wurde durch Sieben und Auswaschen gewonnenen. An den konsistenzabhängigen Leistungen von bekannten Pump- und Rührgeräten wird der Aussagewert des gefundenen Konsistenzfaktors über die technische Beschaffenheit der Dungsubstrate aufgezeigt. Die Untersuchungen verschiedener Einflüsse auf den Konsistenzfaktor (kf) brachten folgende Ergebnisse:
1. Mit einem Bestimmtheitsmaß von R² = 0,9086 kann mit Vorbehalt gesagt werden, daß zwischen dem Konsistenzfaktor des Kotes und der Verdaulichkeit der organischen Substanz des Futters ein funktioneller Zusammenhang besteht.
2. In Mischversuchen konnte gezeigt werden, daß die Beimengung gleicher Gewichtseinheiten von pflanzlichen Substanzen unterschiedliche Konsistenzfaktoren zur Folge hat. Mit gleichen Mengen von Heuhäcksel (25 mm lang, 88 % TS), Strohhäcksel(10 mm lang, 85 % TS), Sägespänen (80 % TS), Torfmull (75 % TS) und Maissilage (2 mm, 28 % TS) fiel der Konsistenzfaktor stufenweise.
3. Mineralische Beimengungen haben auf den Konsistenzfaktor nur einen geringen Einfluß. Der technische Schwierigkeitsgrad eines durchschnittlichen Kot- Harn-Gemisches wird durch eine Sandmenge von 500 g/GV/Tag nur um ca. 2,5 kf erhöht.
4. Je nach Niederschlagsmenge bzw. Verdunstungsrate und der raumförmigen Verteilung von Flüssigdung kann der Konsistenzfaktor unterschiedlichen Veränderungen unterliegen. Zertretener Kot kann z. B. bei gleichen Umweltbedingungen eine neunmal größere Wassermenge an die Atmosphäre abgeben als unzertretener Kot.
5. Aus Versuchen läßt sich ableiten, daß der Konsistenzfaktor mit zunehmendem Zerteilungsrad der Feststoff-Trockensubstanz abnimmt, während das Saugvermögen der Feststoffpartikelchen gleichzeitig steigt.
6. Die Entmischungserscheinungen bedingen während der Lagerung von Gülle und Flüssigmist Schichten von unterschiedlicher Konsistenz. Die Gründe für die Entmischungen dürften in den unterschiedlichen Raumgewichten der einzelnen Substanzen des Feststoff-Flüssigkeits-Gemisches und in dem mangelnden Zerkleinerungs- und Mischeffekt zu suchen sein. Untersuchungen ergaben, daß mit zunehmender Füllhöhe der Konsistenzfaktor steigt und das spezifische Gewicht fällt.
Eine statistische Erfassung ergab, daß die Schwimmschichtstärke mit einem Bestimmtheitsmaß von R² = 0,8226 mit der Füllhöhe und der täglichen Einstreumenge/GV in einem funktionellen Zusammenhang steht.
Während der Lagerung von Flüssigmist konnte bei einer Dauertemperatur von 20 °C ein kontinuierlich steigender Trockensubstanzabbau und damit eine geringe Abnahme des Konsistenzfaktors festgestellt werden
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
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.
