    Hui-Sheng Ding acknowledges support from the Program for Cultivating Young Scientist of Jiangxi Province (20133BCB23009), and the NSF of Jiangxi Province (20143ACB21001).In this paper we consider, discuss, improve and generalize recent fixed point results for mappings in b-rectangular metric spaces. Thus, all our results are with much shorter proofs. Also, we prove Reich type theorem in the frame of b-metric space. The proofs of all our results are without using Hausdorff assumption. One example is given to support the result

    Dyflicia (Directory of Libraries and Information Centers in Malaysia) is a we-based system that provides information on libraries and information centers in Malaysia. This system provides an interactive search and browse function to make the retrieving of information faster and easier for the users. The Dyflicia' s members include the Directors of a library or Information Center and the System Administrators. The Directors will register his or hers institution and they can maintain the information from time to time. The System Administrators will use the Management subsystem to manage the institution records and registration, members and the feedback from the users. This report begin with the introduction part. The introduction part consists of the project definition, objectives, target users, scope, limitation schedule, expected outcome and the report layout. It is followed by the literature review which includes the approaches to literature review, existence system analysis and comparison and technical aspects discussion. Next is the methodology for developing Dyflicia. Here, the waterfall life-cycle model which will be used is discussed. The report continues with the system analysis which includes the user functional and non-functional requirements. The technical requirement analysis is also included in this chapter which covers the software and hardware requirements. The next chapter is the system design which includes the system structure design, application architecture design (context diagram and data flow diagram), system database diagram, and interface design. After system design, comes the system implementation, which discusses the implementation aspects of Dyflicia. System testing comes next which discusses the testing that is done on Dyflicia. The report ends with system evaluation and conclusion which stated Dyflicia's strength, limitations, future enhancement, problems faced and a brief conclusion for the whole theses

    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
