No full textSculpture20” x 23” x 20”Excellent conditionHarry Bridges (1901-1990) was a prominent 20th Century Labor Leader. He led the pivotal 1934 West Coast waterfront workers strike. After founding the ILWU, he served as its President for 40 years, building it into one of the most powerful unions in the U.S. Bridges was known for militant union organizing, union democracy, social justice, racial integration, and internationalism. Bust designed and created by Henry AlvarezHenry Alvarez started Alvarez Wax Productions in 1976, after working for several years with sculptor Katherine Stubergh for a number of years. Although Alvarez specializes in full-size wax sculptures, he designs bronze works as well. Alvarez’s father was a career longshoreman associated with ILWU Pacific Coast Retirees Association, who commissioned the original bust of Harry Bridges for the ILWU headquarters in San Francisco. They also sponsored the bust in Suzzallo Library to commemorate the establishment of the Harry Bridges Chair in 1994.Email from Henry Alvarez. www.alvarezwax.co
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
Acercamiento a los elementos compositivos y pianísticos del pasillo para piano Agur del compositor Henry Alvarez
Get PDFEl presente trabajo aborda un acercamiento a las estructuras compositivas, para establecer
elementos musicales que servirán en la comprensión e interpretación pianística de la obra.
Al reconocer dichos elementos se pueden identificar características del folclor musical
ecuatoriano, fusionados con estilos, técnicas y estructuras académicas de la corriente nacionalista.
Este trabajo realiza un estudio cualitativo, debido a que el pasillo Agur es un hecho observable
diseñado para dar a conocer puntos de vista basados en la interpretación pianística en varios aspectos
tales como estilo compositivo, forma, textura, agógica, dinámica, etc. sobre las cuales se realizarán
recomendaciones que permitan una producción acústica clara, limpia y balanceada.
Es menester recalcar que no existe información referente al pasillo académico Agur, debido a
que pertenece a la autoría de Henry Alvarez, composición culminada aproximadamente en el año 2017,
por lo que el presente trabajo servirá como una fuente que nos permitirá comprender la concepción
musical de la obra, el contexto histórico sobre el cual se basó para su composición el cual aborda el
estilo, la forma y los procesos compositivos extrayendo los elementos musicales que están presentes
en la misma.The present document it´s about an approach to compositional structures, to establish musical
elements that will serve in the understanding and pianistic interpretation of the work.
By recognizing these elements, characteristics of Ecuadorian musical folklore can be identified,
fused with styles, techniques and academic structures of the nationalist current.
This work carries out a qualitative study, because the Agur pasillo is an observable fact designed
to make specific points of view known in piano performance in various aspects such as compositional
style, shape, texture, agogic, dynamics, etc. On which the recommendations that require a clear, clean
and balanced acoustic production will be made.
It is necessary to remember that there is no information regarding the academic Agur pasillo,
because it belongs to the authority of Henry Alvarez, a composition completed approximately in the year
2017, so this work serves as a source that allows us to understand the musical conception of the work,
the historical context on which it was based for its composition which addresses the style, form and
compositional processes extracting the musical elements that are present in it.Licenciado en Artes MusicalesCuenc
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe 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
