BricoSketch: Replicating and reusing electronic and physical material physical material in professional illustrations
Get PDFΗ εργασία αυτή διερευνά πώς οι καλλιτέχνες χρησιμοποιούν σκίτσα σε χαρτί , φυσικά
αντικείμενα από το περιβάλλον τους, φωτογραφίες, και ηλεκτρονικό υλικό ως μοντέλα για
τις εικονογραφήσεις τους. Μας ενδιαφέρει ο σχεδιασμός ενός εργαλείου/λογισμικού που να
υποστηρίζει τη ροή εργασίας των εικονογράφων, να αποφεύγει τη χρήση πολλαπλών
συσκευών, και να απλοποιεί τη συνολική δουλειά τους συγκεντρώνοντας τις λειτουργίες
όλων των εργαλείων και των μέσων που χρησιμοποιούν. Γενικός στόχος μας είναι να
ενισχύσουμε την παραγωγικότητα των εικονογράφων με τη διευκόλυνση και την
απλούστευση της διαδικασίας εικονογράφησης, διατηρώντας παράλληλα την
δημιουργικότητα τους καθώς εργάζονται.
Προκειμένου να κατανοήσουμε τη διαδικασία που ακλουθούν στην εργασία τους και να
συγκεντρώσουμε χρήσιμες πληροφορίες για το σχεδιασμό του νέου εργαλείου πήραμε
συνεντεύξεις από εικονογράφους στο εργασιακό τους περιβάλλον. Εστιάσαμε στα μέσα που
προτιμούν, τις συσκευές που χρησιμοποιούν και τα βήματα που ακολουθούν προκειμένου να
προχωρήσουν στην δουλειά τους, καθώς και τη σχέση μεταξύ όλων των παραπάνω.
Οι εικονογράφοι στην δουλειά τους συχνά εναλλάσσονται μεταξύ διαφορετικών μέσων (π.χ.
στυλό και χαρτί, φωτεινό τραπέζι, ηλεκτρονικό υπολογιστή, εικόνες) έως ότου καταλήξουν
στην τελική εικόνα τους. Όλες οι μεταβάσεις από το ένα μέσο στο άλλο και από τη μία
συσκευή στην άλλη προσθέτουν πολυπλοκότητα που πιθανώς δρα σαν μια διαταραχή στη
ροή εργασίας τους.
Στην εργασία αυτή παρουσιάζουμε το σχεδιασμό του Bricosketch, ενός νέου εργαλείου
πληροφορικής, που ενσωματώνει μια σειρά από χαρακτηριστικά με βάση τις παρατηρήσεις
μας και την λεπτομερή ανάλυση των ροών εργασίας των εικονογράφων. Το BricoSketch
παρέχει στους εικονογράφους ένα διαδραστικό χώρο εργασίας που τους επιτρέπει να
εργάζονται ταυτόχρονα με χαρτί και με ένα πρόγραμμα επεξεργασίας εικόνας, εξαλείφοντας
έτσι την ανάγκη για εναλλαγή μεταξύ των διαφορετικών συσκευών. Η εργασία επίσης
παρουσιάζει μια περιγραφή των περιορισμών του σχεδιασμού καθώς και των πιθανών
επεκτάσεων του BricoSketch σε ένα ευρύτερο κοινό.This project investigates how artists use sketches on paper, physical objects in their
environment, photos, and online material as models for their illustrations. We are interested in
designing a computer tool/software that supports the workflow of illustrators, avoids the use
of multiple devices, and simplifies their overall work by grouping together the functionalities
of all the tools and means they use. Our overall objective is to enhance the productivity of
illustrators by facilitating and simplifying the illustration process, while preserving their
creative ways of working.
We interviewed illustrators in their working environment in order to understand their working
process and to gather information useful for designing the new tool. We focused on the means
they prefer, the devices they use and the steps they undertake in order to proceed with their
illustration, as well as the relation among all the above.
When illustrators work they often alternate between different devices (e.g. pens and paper,
light table, computer, pictures) until they come up with their final illustration. All the
transitions from one means to another and from one device to another add complexity and
might act as a disturbance in their workflow.
We present the design of Bricosketch, a new computer tool that integrates a number of
features based on our observations and on a detailed analysis of the illustrators’ workflows.
BricoSketch provides illustrators with an interactive workspace that allows them to work
simultaneously on paper and with an image processing program, thus eliminating the need to
switch between different devices. Limitations of the actual design and possible extensions of
BricoSketch to a wider audience are also discussed
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
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

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.
