A new approach to Sheppard’s corrections
No full textThis algorithm has been inserted in the MapleSoft Application Center
In the real world, variables are observed and recorded in finite precision through a rounding or coarsening operation, i.e. a grouping rule. Grouping includes also censoring or splitting data into categories during collection or publication, and so it involves continuous as well as discrete parent distributions. Sheppard's corrections are formulae which improve the computation of moments when data are grouped into classes. Here we give two speed procedures "raw2grp" and "grp2raw" to compute the correction to raw moments in terms of grouped moments (and viceversa) both in the continuous case and in the discrete case and both for univariate and multivariate parent distributions
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
Atypical Basal Bodies In A Cat With Immotile-cilia Syndrome
No full textAtypical basal bodies from the oviductal mucosa of a female, 2.5-years-old cat suffering from immotile-cilia syndrome are described. The microtubular pattern was observed in 250 cross-sectioned basal bodies. Four basal bodies (1.6%) had a defective number of microtubular triplets resulting in the appearance of so-called 'half-centriole' type. Two out of 100 longitudinal basal bodies showed duplicating striated rootlets and only one had an additional set of nine subdistal appendages, so that two basal feet arose from a single basal body. Electron-dense material and isolated microtubules into the lumen of some basal apparatuses were occasionally seen. It is known that centrioles and basal bodies show an unusual degree of constancy in size, shape and geometrical configuration, so that their abnormalities are very rare
Atypical Basal Bodies In A Normal, Apparently Healthy Cow
No full textThe authors report an altered geometrical configuration of some basal body cylinder in a normal, apparently healthy cow. Defective basal bodies of the so-called 'half-centriole' are described. Only one microtubular pattern is composed of ten triplets encircling an apparently symmetric lumen. In medical literature there are a few documented cases of basal body cylinder defects. Most of them have been described in ciliary pathology. This paper deals with the first cases of basal body abnormalities observed in a healthy domestic animal
Buckling analysis of multilayered structures using high-order theories and the implicit-mesh discontinuous Galerkin method
No full textThis work presents a novel formulation for the linear buckling analysis of multilayered shells. The formulation
employs high-order Equivalent-Single-Layer (ESL) shell theories based on the through-the-thickness expansion
of the covariant components of the displacement field, whilst the corresponding buckling problem is derived
using the Euler’s method. The novelty of the formulation regards the solution of the governing equations, which
is obtained via implicit-mesh discontinuous Galerkin (DG) schemes. The DG method is a high-order accurate
numerical technique based on a discontinuous representation of the solution among the mesh elements and
on the use of suitably defined boundary integrals to enforce the continuity of the solution at the inter-element
interfaces as well as the boundary conditions. Owing to its discontinuous nature, the DG method may be
naturally employed with non-conventional meshes and is combined in this work with the implicitly-defined mesh
technique, whereby the mesh of the shell modelling domain is constructed by intersecting an easy-to-generate
background grid and a level set function that implicitly represents the cutouts. Several numerical examples are
considered. First, the buckling loads are computed for plates and cylindrical shells modelled by different ESL
theories and characterized by various materials, geometry and boundary conditions. Then, the buckling load of
a plate with a circular defined cutout is computed for different diameter-to-plate’s width ratios. The obtained
results are compared with those available in the literature or those obtained using finite-element analyses and
demonstrate the accuracy and the robustness of the proposed approach
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
