Underground landscape
No full textThis projects looks into underground space in Luxembourg city to explore the possiblility to solve problems on urban level when the city is read as landscape (but not necessary a park) because of the attention to ground and spatial sequence
Reorganising and altering the 'found'
No full textThe project aims to reorganise and alter the 'found' space a 'Place de l'Homme de Fer' in Strasbourg in order to express its inherent conditions. The 'found' tends to be disused, undefined, outside the system and situated as an in-between, therefore the space contains technical issues which prevent its integration. The project aims to resolve the technical issues whilst also expressing the spaces particular condition
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
The Valley: The Ground of Earthly Delights
No full textMy graduation project is located in the valley of Luxembourg City. During the designing of this project, Constant Nieuwenhuys’s New Babylon played a crucial role for its similarities with the valley in the city.Firstly, they both stretch all over the city, resulting in a sort of skeleton of the city for its holism. New Babylon is suspended above the already-existent ground while the valley, in a perspective, is carved into the plateaus.Secondly, the human activities inside are quite alike. New Babylon is known for its ludic characteristics which are distinct from normal utilitarian modernism buildings while the valley in Luxembourg, which is characterized by its leisure activities, is distinct from the plateaus which is characterized by its bureaucratic building, as a sign of utilitarianism.Thirdly, the last but the most important, New Babylon and the valley, which has been and is to be transformed artificially, share structural similarities, both in terms of planning and sectioning. Also, I take the sector which is a basic unit in New Babylon as a prototype to illustrate Planning and Sectioning as a way of re-depicting the valley
Hautepierre: Between ideal and reality
No full textThe banlieues seem condemned to be the scenery for the ‘France d’en bas’. A france that go to the fair, eats kebab every Wednesday, sleep in a hotel F1 next to the highway, marry in the ‘salle des fetes’, and spend their Monday choosing a new carpet at les 4 ‘murs’ or Tati. However, it seems that the city of strasbourg neglects this 'france d'en bas' and tries to erase this identity of the grands ensembles. This illustrates a common phenomenon when it come to the renovation of the grands ensembles. The phenomenon of the elitist contamination. This projects offers the possibility to try something else, less 'arrogant' yet, less political correct. Lets try to build something that celebrates the 'france d'en bas' instead of neglecting it.Architecture, Urbanism and Building Science

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
