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
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

CONS PRODUCTION BETWEEN SYSTEM SHADOWING AND NATURAL LIGHT ON ENERGY EFFICIENT ARCHITECTURE
Full text linkAbstract— A work of architecture in the
design process can not be separated from consideration of
aspects of Design Guide (Design Guide Lines Aspect) ,
which covers the functional aspects, contextual aspects,
performance aspects, technical aspects, cost aspects, and
aesthetic aspects (image), which together interact,
interelasi, and interdependence. Particularly in Indonesia,
which is the tropics, is the contextual aspect didak
consideration can be avoided, so that the building as a work
of architecture able to efficiently utilize the potential of a
tropical climate, on the other hand could also counteract the
negative influence of the tropical climate. At this time, the
energy crisis is the growing issues around the world,
considering 40% of energy absorbed by the field of
architecture.
Bright sky as a source of natural light, is a
potential source of tropical should be used efficiently, while
the sun should be in the amulet through the technique of
shadowing system, because the negative effects of this
radiation is a source of heat in the room. In an effort to save
energy by using light and sunlight to counteract the facade
design is very dependent on the orientation of the building
face. In the design process, the response to the character of
the building footprint will have an impact also on the
orientation of the building face, which is an important
consideration from funsional aspects, performance, and
aesthetics. Therefore, not all buildings have the opportunity
to advance the building orientation to the path of the sun
profitable circulation.
In a less favorable orientation (more inclined
toward the east or west) facade exposed resulting radiation
exposure to the sun, this radiation due to the amount of heat
gain (heat gain) to enter the building through the openings
(light hole) will be effective (significant), and to overcome
required no small amount of energy. To avoid this element
of deterrence is needed sun (sun shading devices) on the
display of the building, especially to be able to overshadow
the opening for the skylight.
The problem will arise when the
consideration of the use of light appears as a natural
lighting. This is because, the application of shadowing
system of deterrence elements sunlight in architectural
design will reduce the effective light-hole as a source of
natural lighting. This contradiction is very interesting to
find a solution, how far the efficiency of sunlight deterrent
element, but at the same time able to keep the hole as the
effective light source in an optimal natural lighting. In this
case also made possible the breakthrough technology that
sun-stress element is once again able to replace the sky
light as a source of natural light.
Existence of counter-productive systems and
the use of light imagery in natural light in architectural
design in the context of this is the insight that energyefficient
architecture is one of the typology-oriented
architecture of global environmental conservation.

Pendahuluan
Indonesia yang merupakan negara yang
terletak daidaerah tropis dengan iklim tropis basah, dapat
dikatakan penggunaan energi BBM dan listrik lebih rendah
dibanding negara di kawasan sub-tropis yang dapat
mencapai 60 persen dari total konsumsi energi. Kondisi ini
dikarenakan di negara sub-tropis pada musim dingin
membutuhkan energi untuk pemanas ruang bagi semua
lapisan masyarakat, sedangkan di Indonesia untuk
mengatasi udara yang panas diatasi dengan penggunaan
pendingin ruang (AC) yang hanya digunakan pada sejumlah
kecil bangunan terutama di daerah perkotaan. Walaupun
tindak antisipasi lebih lanjut, pada akhirnya akan
memberikan kontribusi penurunan konsumsi energi secara
nasional yang signifikan.
Bangunan merupakan penyaring faktor
alamiah penyebab ketidaknyamanan, seperti hantaran panas
akibat paparan radiasi matahari, dan dapat pula sebagai
penangkap cahaya alami sebagai potensi tropis untuk
penerangan siang hari. Penghematan energi melalui rancang
bangun dimaksudkan pada upaya penghematan listrik, baik
untuk pendingin udara (AC) maupun penerangan buatan di
siang hari. Dengan arti kata lain, strategi perancangan akan
mampu memodifikasi iklim luar yang tidak nyaman
menjadi iklim ruang yang nyaman dengan konsumsi energi
yang rendah. Para arsitek Barat sudah memulai langkahlangkah
strategi perancangan bangunan hemat energi sejak
terjadinya keisis energi dunia sekitar tahun 1973, ironinya
di Indonesia belum terasa adanya ”greget” kalangan arsitek
Indonesia secara konsisten menuju upaya bangunan hemat
energi
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.
