Full text linkFrans A. Cerulus, André Cresens en Roger Deneef - De piramide van Wespelaar Tot nut, sier en plezier. [The pyramid of wespelaar utility, ornament, entertainment and esotericism combined.]Toepassingen van de Gulden Snede, akoestische curiosa en maçonnieke connotaties zijn de 18de-eeuwse egyptiserende piramide in het Engels park van Wespelaar niet vreemd.Reflecteren ze nochtans niet veeleer onomwonden de begeestering van Ghislain Henry voor de theorieën van Athanasius Kircher en de experimentele wetenschappen van de Verlichting? Frans A. Cerulus, André Cresens en Roger Deneef reiken alvast - niet zonder pittig rekenwerk - een aantal mogelijke sleutels aan.Claire Fontaine - Op zoek naar een verloren ideaal? De sgraffiti van het hotel weduwe Ciamberlani in Elsene. [In search of a lost ideal. The sgraffiti of Hotel Ciamberlani in Elsene (Brussels).]Mede de bizarre vormen van de raampartijen en het gevelwijde figuratieve sgraffito maakten de Brusselse stadswoning van Paul Hankar voor kunstschilder Albert Ciamberlani van meet af aan tot een icoon van de art nouveau architectuur. Spijts de traceerbare uitvoering door Adolphe Crespin gingen de kleuren van de allegorische taferelen helaas algauw verloren en vervoegden ze de kunstgeschiedenis via schaarse zwart-wit reproducties.Doorgedreven archief- en materiaalonderzoek, onvermoede in Beveren bewaard gebleven documenten en beredeneerde interpretaties resulteerden nochtans recent in een betrouwbare en verbluffende restitutie: een prestatie waarvoor Claire Fontaine zich onderdompelde in de denkwereld van een merkwaardig kunstenaar.Hilde De Clercq, Yves Vanhellemont en André Pien Waterwerende behandelingen op monumenten: realistisch of utopisch? [Water-repellent treatments on flemish monuments: realistic or unfeasible?]De toepassing van waterwerende behandelingen op steenachtige materialen roept de jongste jaren alsmaar meer vragen op naar efficiëntie en duurzaamheid.Gezien de diversiteit aan aangeboden producten, de onomkeerbaarheid van de ingreep en onverwachte schadelijke gevolgen, is de optie inderdaad niet vanzelfsprekend.Intensief lange-termijnonderzoek door het KIK en het WTCB leidde intussen tot heldere en geruststellende conclusies, al blijft waakzaamheid geboden.Een analyse en toelichting door Hilde De Clercq, Y.

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
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
