On 1st December of that year he married Maria Matilda Minchin. He attended the first land sale of town blocks in Melbourne on 1 June 1837 and purchased the property in Swanston Street which bears his name. The estate consisted of properties fronting on to Collins, Swanston and Little Collins Street. On or about 21 June 1838, Henry, his wife and six children embarked on the schooner Sarah for an unknown destination. The schooner sailed into a hurricane and passengers and crew were lost. His executors sold his 3,800 sheep and 520 cattle on 16-18 July 1839 and both the proceeds of this sale and the land in Swanston Street passed to the Howey family in England, principally to John Werge Howey. On 17 April 1871 John Werge Howey died, leaving his property to his wife Elizabeth during her life, and after her death to his nephew John Edwards Werge Howey for his life, and then to J E W Howey s first and other sons and male heirs of each son, every older son and his male heirs to take before younger sons . Letters of Administration were granted in turn to Joseph Richardson, Estate Agent of 100 Elizabeth Street, Melbourne (d1873) and to Samuel Alfred Richardson of the same business (d.1884) both of whom died before having fully administered the Estate. In May 1907 Letters of Administration were granted to Raynes W S Dickson, Solicitor, Melbourne. Elizabeth Howey, having died in 1878, and the oldest son of John Edwards Werge Howey in 1901, the properties in Melbourne then forming the Howey Estate passed to the second son, John Edwards Presgrave Howey, who attained his majority on 17 November 1907. Raynes W S Dickson continued to administer the Estate until his retirement, when his son, Raynes Waite Adrian Dickson took control under the company name of Raynes Dickson and Co. This company administered the Estate until it was wound up in the 1970s

His son, Raynes Waite Adrian Dickson, educated at Melbourne, entered the firm in 1933, took on the responsibility of the Howey Estate and saw it through to its winding-up by the successor firm of Raynes Dickson & Co

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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 PDF
    We 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

    Get PDF
    We 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 text
    We 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
