Development of a diagnostic methodology for the interpretation of the structural behavior of a masonry arch-gravity dam, aimed at the identification of possible degradation phenomena
No full textLack of rearrangements of p53 tumor antigen gene locus in human hematological malignancies.
No full textThe p53 gene locus arrangement was in 80 patients with hematological malignancies and several cell lines. We did not detect rearrangements of p53 gene in any patient. The failure to express the p53 gene might be caused by mechanisms other than gross structural abnormalities of this gene
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
A hybrid numerical-analytical approach for modeling levitation based vibration energy harvesters
Full text linkThis paper presents a computational approach for the evaluation of the electro-mechanical response of levitation based vibration energy harvesters. A detailed analysis of the relevant physical, mathematical and computational aspects of the design of a harvester is presented. Several key points of the design of levitation based energy harvesters, such as the existence of the resonance phenomenon, the influence of damping in the system response, the magnetic force nonlinearity and the calculation of the magnetic flux derivative for multi-magnet configurations are addressed. The evolution in time of the electromechanical variables is investigated through a hybrid numerical-analytical approach. The evaluation of the levitational force and the magnetic flux derivative is done through a nonlinear model based on the finite element method. A performance assessment is done by comparing the results obtained with the present formulation against measurements; a physical prototype of a multi-pole-multi-coil harvester is built ad hoc. An excellent agreement between the mathematical model and the experiments was found.Fil: Saravia, César Martín. Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas.

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
