Ecological interactions in agroforest ecosystems 1988-2008 [Canada]: Agroforest research
No full textThis data is part of a study monitoring the ecological interactions in an agroforest ecosystem. Experimental plots are located at the Guelph Research Station, Victoria Road Agroforestry Land, Guelph, Ontario. The field design consists of a control (no tree intercropped) field and an agroforestry (tree intercropped) field. Data includes experimental field design map and explanation, soil map and explanation, tree growth (height and diameter) and crop yield data measured annually from 1988 to 2008, and GIS database files (including shapefile) for 4,500 trees
Palestinian contemporary art: Origin, nationalism and excess
No full textThis thesis provides a research overview of a submission for PhD by publication. A list of the submitted publications can be found at the end. It demonstrates how these publications have established a relationship between the continuing production of art by Palestinians and the creation of Palestinian national identity through an investigation of ideas of origin in nationalism and the ontology of the work of art. It is argued that ideas of origin in relation to the nation and national identity are characterised by their hollowness, but rather than this undermining the emergence of the nation, this emptiness is what allows the nation to emerge. This generative but problematic blind spot is explored in the specific context of Palestinian art and the Israeli/Palestinian conflict and the ways in which contemporary Palestinian artists critically address ideas of identity and nationalism at the level of process and form. The research identifies how these processes are developed to extend beyond their specific political and cultural contexts to provide insights into ontological questions of contemporary art. The research further proposes links between ideas of non-human agency in the work of art, Freud’s theory of the Death Drive and Bataille’s ideas of excess, in accounting for the the phenomena that Palestinian art had undergone a Golden Age since the second intifada of 2001, despite the increasing constraints of ongoing political conflict and occupation. The research explored the possibility that it was not only despite these conditions but was, at least in part, because of them. It is argued that the humanist understanding alone, that artistic production is a necessity of spiritual, cultural and political survival, is not sufficient to explain its apparent excess in material loss. Through the use of the Death Drive and Bataille’s accursed share it is shown that a confrontation and exploration of the relationships between art, excess and luxury can provide ways of addressing ontological and ethical questions in the production and dissemination of contemporary art
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
