Three Kinds of Disambiguated Author ID Systems for PubMed 2019
No full textAuthor identifier (ID) is essential for many downstream tasks, such as co-author network and scientist mobility analysis. As a widely used bibliometrics database, author ID of PubMed is not officially provided by National Institutes of Health (NIH), that restrict bibliometric research. This study exploited three open bibliographic databases Aminer, Microsoft Academic Graph (MAG) and Semantic Scholar (S2) to associate author ID for PubMed. For this purpose, paper linking and author linking was performed sequencely to mine paper and author links between PubMed and these databases. Performance of author name disambiguation (AND) of there available identifiers was evaluated on two AND datasets. Our findings suggested that, S2 contains full volume of PubMed regarding link completeness. With respect to correctness of author ID, S2 and MAG achieved better performance than Aminer. The best F1 score on both dataset of there available identifiers is below 90\%, indicate that AND for large scale database remain as a difficult task and the need for further improvement. We made the final dataset that contains linked paper and author of PubMed publicly available for facilitating future research
Drs Bramhall and Bawa-Garba and the rightful domain of the criminal law
No full textIn the wake of two recent high-profile, controversial cases involving the prosecution and conviction of Drs Bramhall and Bawa-Garba, this article considers when it is socially desirable to criminalise doctors’ behaviour, exploring how the matters of harm, public wrongs and the public interest can play out to justify – or not, as the case may be - the criminal law’s intervention. Dr Bramhall branded his initials on patients’ livers during transplant surgery, behaviour acknowledged not to have caused his patients any harm by way of injury to their organs. Dr Bawa-Garba misdiagnosed and failed to properly assess a six-year-old boy with pneumonia and sepsis under her care, who subsequently died. Taking account of contextual and public interest concerns, can and should there be exceptions to imposing criminal liability where a doctor’s behaviour is deemed grossly negligent and a significant contribution to a patient’s death? And is it really appropriate to subject a doctor to penal sanction where he may have committed a private wrong against a patient, but does not set back their interests
Researcher ID Workshop
No full textPapers presented at the Researcher ID Workshop, Auditorium, Merensky Library, University of Pretoria, 22 July 2015The workshop aimed to share ideas and knowledge on author visibility within the research industry. Presentations, discussions and training sessions focussed on the different IDs such as ORCID, Researcher ID, Scopus Author ID and others. Using these tools to manage and share your professional profile & publications. During the session attention was given to the following areas: The Role of the Information specialist; Real examples of how Information Specialists are involved with author IDs; Sharing of ideas and experiences thus far; Practical training with Melissa Badenhorst on Researcher ID; and Lucia Schoombee from Elsevier.mn201
Thinking tomorrow today: planning for uncertainty and building organisational culture that can walk the talk / Sadeeq Garba Abubakar
No full textThinking tomorrow, today is about generating and manipulating ideas proactively and progressively. The critical issue is about expanding the scope of understanding all the facets of the organisational activities, and maintaining same approach and strategy through the future in a sustained manner. Manager’s ability should be screened on the basis of their pro-activeness and innovativeness in the management of thoughts that would foster the organisational advancement and effectiveness. This study is based on a case study design using secondary sources of data from a tertiary educational institution through an in-depth study and analysis of its organisational culture. Many of the early studies of this occurrence identified strong support for the idea that organisational culture and performance were indistinguishably linked. Recommendations given include the use of competitive and time effective management process to review, update, integrate, implement visions, decisions, and plans for tomorrow, whether in expansionary or recessionary times
TAF-ID: An international thermodynamic database for nuclear fuels applications
No full textThe Thermodynamics of Advanced Fuels – International Database (TAF-ID) was developed using the Calphad method to provide a computational tool to perform thermodynamic calculations on nuclear fuel materials under normal and off-normal conditions. Different kinds of fuels are considered: oxide, metallic, carbide and nitride fuels. Many fission products are introduced as well as structural materials (e.g., zirconium, steel, concrete, SiC) and absorbers (e.g., B4C), in order to investigate the thermochemistry of irradiated fuels and to predict their chemical interaction with the surrounding materials. The approach to develop the database and the models implemented in the database are described. Examples of models for key chemical systems are presented. Finally, a few examples of application calculations on severe accidents with UO2 fuels, irradiated fuel chemistry of MOX and metallic fuels and metallic fuel/cladding interaction show how this tool can be used. To validate the database, the calculations are compared to the available experimental data. A good agreement is obtained which gives confidence in the maturity degree and quality of the TAF-ID database. The working version is only accessible to the participants of the TAF-ID project (Canada, France, Japan, the Netherlands, Republic of Korea, United Kingdom, USA). A public version is accessible by all the NEA countries. The current version contains models on the Am–Fe, Am–Np, Am-O-Pu, Am–U, Am–Zr, C–O–U-Pu, Cr–U, Np–U, Np–Zr, O–U–Zr, Re–U, Ru–U, Si–U, Ti–U, U-Pu-Zr, U–W systems. It is progressively extended with our published assessments.

A unique author ID is a possible solution to the name ambiguity problem.
No full textWhen more than one person have the same name, names cannot be used to identify authors, which makes it difficult to connect authors with their scholarly work. Open Researcher and Contributor ID (ORCID) is a non-profit organization that aims to solve the name ambiguity problem by providing a personalized 16-digit ID to use as author identification for scholars. The main objective for ORCID is to become the focal point for the validation of scientific work. The outcome of the implementation of ORCID will provide a litmus test for the spread of this new initiative in the scientific communities.</p

The Holocene lake-evaporation history of the afro-alpine Lake Garba Guracha in the Bale Mountains, Ethiopia, based on δ18O records of sugar biomarkers and diatoms
No full textIn eastern Africa, there are few long, high-quality records of environmental change at high altitudes, inhibiting a broader
understanding of regional climate change. We investigated a Holocene lacustrine sediment archive from Lake Garba Guracha,
Bale Mountains, Ethiopia, (3,950 m a.s.l.), and reconstructed high-altitude lake evaporation history using δ18O records derived from the analysis of compound-specific sugar biomarkers and diatoms. The δ18Odiatom and δ18Ofuc records are clearly correlated and reveal similar ranges (7.9‰ and 7.1‰, respectively). The lowest δ18O values occurred between 10 and 7 cal ka BP and
were followed by a continuous shift towards more positive δ18O values. Due to the aquatic origin of the sugar biomarker and
the similar trends of δ18Odiatom, we suggest that our lacustrine δ18Ofuc record reflects δ18Olake water. Therefore, without completely
excluding the influence of the ‘amount-effect’ and the ‘source-effect‘, we interpret our record to reflect primarily the
precipitation-to-evaporation ratio (P/E). We conclude that precipitation increased at the beginning of the Holocene, leading to
an overflowing lake between ~10 and ~8 cal ka BP, indicated by low δ18Olake water values interpreted as reduced evaporative
enrichment. This is followed by a continuous trend towards drier conditions, indicating at least a seasonally closed lake system
