Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
Hamilton East: Interpretation of house styles and infilling the one acre sections
No full textThis thesis elucidates and interprets the social construction of an inner city suburb of Hamilton. Hamilton East was originally surveyed as a military settlement in 1864. The provenance of house styles is examined in the context of particular periods of time, and six commonly constructed period-styles are identified. These are nineteenth century houses, villas, bungalows, standard New Zealand houses, flats, and variations on old themes. In the context of changes in subdivision design since the original survey, three questions related to the location of these houses are addressed. These are: why, where and how was a tiny township infilled with houses to the density of the present suburb? This thesis focuses on the identification and interpretation of meanings implied in house styles and infilling processes.
The conditions which determined and contributed to the period-styles in popular housing are explored in detail. The significance of meaning in the built environment is a vital and recurring theme. Housing acts as a form of non-verbal communication. Each period-style functions as a set of symbols. The sign value of a house style is its meaning as a symbol of something else. The meaning functions like a code, shared by the people of the community, and changes over time.
Socio-cultural influences include practical and economic considerations. Fashion, demands for decorated or non-decorated architecture, trends in high style architecture, changing lifestyles, changing attitudes to families, and households are identified as determinants of style. The importance of cultural diffusion from the Old and the New Worlds, and increasing and accelerating internationalism are clearly evident in the human landscape. Local and national State intervention in the provision of housing contributed significantly to specific period-styles. Technical innovations have not determined, but have influenced housing styles. They include the available construction materials, and developments associated with the 'machine age' and the production of new materials.
The infilling of the original one acre rectangular allotments, with new housing between the settler cottages is explored under five period headings. These are the nineteenth century, the villa period, the bungalow period, the standard New Zealand house period, and the last two decades. Infilling brought a gradual intensification of housing with time and an interesting pastiche of juxtaposed houses. The evolution of the pattern of survey and subdivision is traced from the 1864 surveyed design to the present day pattern. Based on tradition and statute, concerted division created smaller and smaller rectangular sections.
The research has drawn upon four forms of data: literature, field data, maps photographs and files, and informal contact with members of the local community. Every one of the more than 2000 houses and flats in the suburb was surveyed for age, style, and other characteristics. Valuation New Zealand files, survey plans, many other historical and contemporary maps, aerial photographs, old photographs, statutes and trade directories were used to compile a detailed record about each of the more than 50 residential blocks, comprising nearly 400 acres (162 hectares) of land.
Hamilton East may be seen as a microcosm of New Zealand experience in its subdivision design, road patterns, the processes of infilling and house styles. The provenance of the stylistic and spatial characteristics of housing and sections is articulated as human constructions, determined not by physical circumstances but by people
Aging, Gender and Neighbourhood Determinants of Distance Traveled: A Multilevel Analysis in the Hamilton CMA
No full textThe objective of this study is to investigate the determinants of mean trip distance traveled by different mode types. The study uses data from the Hamilton CMA in Canada, and multilevel models to investigate demographic aging factors, gender differentials, and neighbourhood attributes on distance traveled. The results of the study validate previous findings regarding the decline in distance traveled as age advances. In addition, it is found that: 1) While this effect of age is present for all modes analyzed (car-driving, car-passenger, and bus) it is considerably more marked for car-driving; 2) There are significant gender effects compounded by the interrelated factors of employment constraints, household dynamics, and greater reliance on travel modes other than car driving; and 3) Neighbourhoods with high commercial and residential mix showed a negative relation with distance traveled only in the case of car-driver.distance traveled, aging, elderly, gender, neighbourhood influence, multilevel analysis

Introduction to the landscapes and soils of the Hamilton Basin
No full textThe Hamilton Basin area is characterised by four main landscape units or landforms as depicted in the block diagrams below (McCraw, 1967, 2002; Bruce, 1979; Selby and Lowe, 1992), and these provide a soil-landscape model to predict the soil pattern
Polycentropus neblinensis Hamilton and Holzenthal, new species
No full textPolycentropus neblinensis Hamilton and Holzenthal, new species Fig. 2 Polycentropus new species 11, Hamilton 1986: 130 –131, 231, fig. 6.37. Similar to Polycentropus cressa, n. sp., P. aztecus and P. gertschi in the possession of a single pair of anterior spines in the phallic membranes, P. n e b l i n e n s i s n. sp. differs from all 3 in the large number and small size of the mesal group of spines in the phallic membrane (Fig. 2 E). It is similar to P. cressa and further distinguished from P. a z t e c u s and P. gertschi in the large, bull’shorn appearance of the anterior pair of phallic spines (Fig. 2 E). The prominent emargination of the shorter apicoventral process of the phallobase (Fig. 2 G) is unique. In addition, the shape of the inferior appendage in lateral (Fig. 2 A) and ventral views (Fig. 2 C) and the lateral view of the preanal appendage (Fig. 2 A) distinguishes P. neblinensis from these and the other species of the picana species complex. Adult. Length of forewing: male 7.0–9.0 mm (n= 9), female 9.5 –11.0 mm (n= 3). Body pale brown to yellow, legs stramineous, dorsum of head and thorax brown, clothed with long, dark setae; general vestiture of forewing with fine, brown to dark brown setae, with many small, scattered areas of golden setae, base of forewing with long, erect setae. Male. Genitalia as in Fig. 2. Sternum IX in lateral view subtriangular, in ventral view quadrate; anterior margin shallowly concave, posterior margin slightly concave. Tergum IX and X membranous. Intermediate appendage slightly curved mesad, short, exceeding preanal appendage by less than 1 / 4 th its length; basal region simple, not expanded; apex digitate, with apical setae. Preanal appendage short, densely setose, triangular, broad basally; mesoventral process broadly triangular, directed ventrally, apex bluntly triangular. Inferior appendage densely setose, short, oval, dorsoventral height greater than length; dorsolateral flange broadly rounded; ventrally with dorsallydirected caudomesal point, exposed in lateral view; in ventral view, inferior appendage subquadrate, caudomesal point prominent, rounded; in caudal view, inferior appendage quadrate, caudomesal point triangular. Phallobase moderately short; apicoventral projection long, broad, with pair of points; phallic membranes with anterior and mesal groups of spines (although probably reversed in evaginated phallus), anterior group consisting of long, paired, sigmoid spines, mesal group of many (> 50) very small spines; phallic sclerite oval (difficult to discern, especially apically). Subphallic sclerite Ushaped in caudal view. Holotype male: VENEZUELA: Amazonas: Cerro de la Neblina, Camp II, 00º 49 'N, 65 º 59 'W, el. 2100 m, 16–18.iii. 1984, J.A. Louton (NMNH).

Horsemastership part 3: international perspectives of its therapeutic value
No full textIn previous opinion articles written by the authors, it has been proposed that horsemastership is an effective medium for therapy and education for young adults with additional needs. However, the existing research to support this proposal is informal and limited. Therefore, the first author carried out an international piece of research into the value of horsemastership to this group of people. A questionnaire using both quantitative and qualitative methods was completed by 21 professionals of various disciplines and countries who used horsemastership for therapeutic and educational purposes. This article gives a brief description of the methodology, including justification for the design selected, and discusses the relevance and implications of the results of this study. To pull together the three articles written by the authors, a final conclusion on the value of horsemastership to people with additional needs is drawn.<br/
