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
Color Schemes on 4D Models in 4D Construction Management Tools
No full text4D營建管理系統能夠依據施工排程的順序，依序顯示各施工階段的3D建物模型，以利使用者以視覺化的方式瞭解工程的進行。然而，由於4D建物模型同時包含了空間與時間的資訊，欲呈現在2D的電腦螢幕上，在較複雜或規模較大的工程中，往往不能有效地讓使用者理解其內容。由於色彩配置的不當，使用者在檢視建物施工狀態的色彩表現時，往往無法由4D建物模型聯想到施工狀態，造成了無法直覺地做出即時回應的困難；此外經由不同顯示介面（如液晶螢幕與單槍投影機）所呈現的畫面，在色彩上亦有所差異，降低了系統的使用性(Usability)。本研究旨在針對4D建物模型的色彩元素進行探討，透過使用性良好的色彩配置，有效幫助4D營建管理系統表達3D物件的施工狀態。找出適用於4D建物模型的色彩配置，本研究提出了系統化流程，探討4D建物模型的時間資訊與色彩之間的關係，進而定義適用於4D建物模型的色彩配置法則；為改進系統色彩表現與使用者互動性不佳的問題，透過使用性評估、訪談與問卷調查的方式來了解4D營建管理系統潛在使用者對於表達施工狀態色彩的習慣、偏好，並分析不同色彩配置的使用性表現。研究目前的成果顯示，人們對於色彩的選擇有其喜好差異。在觀看4D建物模型時，不同的色彩組合確實會影響其使用，但透過本研究提出的色彩配置法則，謹慎運用色彩組合將可強調與分類資訊、提高可讀性與易學性。本研究將可用以改善軟體模擬介面與使用者的溝通，讓色彩幫助建物模型呈現時間與空間的關係，加速使用者理解4D視覺化模擬所傳達的訊息。Four-dimensional models, which are 3D models with an added dimension to represent schedule information, have become an important tool in representing construction processes. These models usually rely on colors to represent the different construction statuses, such that when an ideal color scheme is used, engineers are able to understand the model and identify the potential problems more easily. However, up to this point, little research has been conducted in this area. his research presents a systematical procedure to determining the ideal color scheme for a 4D model. I named this procedure SEUT as an acronym for the three major steps: (1) Selection of color scheme, (2) Examination of color scheme, and (3) User Test. This procedure can be performed iteratively to obtain the ideal color scheme, which would fit a model according to its construction purposes. To verify the proposed procedure, an example case with two iterations was tested and the ideal color scheme for six construction statuses of a 4D model for plant construction found after examining ten color schemes and testing by 58 users during two iterations. hrough the user tests, the results show that the SEUT procedure can effectively find an ideal color scheme for presenting 4D models. The logical thinking has been testified and may be extended in familiar applications which involve time and colors. For future work, developers of 4D tools can choose to freely apply the color scheme developed in this research or use the SEUT procedure to develop more color schemes to meet their own needs.口試委員會審定書 i謝 iiBSTRACT iv要 vABLE OF CONTENTS viIST OF FIGURES viiiIST OF TABLES ix INTRODUCTION 1.1 Motivation and Background 1.2 Research Objectives 3 LITERATURE REVIEW 4.1 4D Modeling 4.2 Color Schemes 6 SYSTEMATICAL PROCEDURE: SEUT 8.1 Summary 8.2 Step 1: Color Scheme Selection 9.2.1 Consider the Natures of Schedule Information 9.2.2 Consider the Characteristics of Colors 10.3 Step 2: Color Scheme Examination 11.3.1 Examine Color Blindness 11.3.2 Examine Colors in Gray Scale 13.3.3 Examine Colors on Different Display Media 14.4 Step 3: User Test 15.4.1 Define Usability Requirements 16.4.2 Measure User Performance 17 EXAMPLE CASE 18.1 Original Color Scheme in Construction Director 18.2 First Iteration 19.2.1 Selection of Color Schemes 19.2.2 Examination of Color Schemes 20.2.3 User Test 21.3 Second Iteration 24.3.1 Selection of Color Schemes 25.3.2 Examination of Color Schemes 26.3.3 User Test 26 CONCLUSIONS AND FUTURE WORK 29.1 Conclusions 29.2 Major Contributions 30.3 Future Work 31EFERENCE 3
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
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
