Interviews: Ian Cameron, V.F. Perkins, Charles Barr, Alan Lovell
Get PDFA series of interviews (and a contextualising Introduction). The interviews were conducted in the late 1990s, but are only now being published (in Movie: A Journal of Film Criticism). They are with the notable film critics / publishers / educators Ian Cameron, V.F. Perkins, Charles Barr and Alan Lovell, selected for their first-hand experience of the debates around the relative significance of film style which played out across a number of small film magazines and elements of the national press in the early 1960s. The interviews form part of a wider history of the critical writing concerned with film style and related debates

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
The bioengineering development of a multi-channel, implantable hearing prosthesis for the profoundly deaf
No full text© 1978 Dr. Ian Cameron ForsterThis thesis describes the bioengineering development of a sensory prosthesis system specifically dedicated to the multi-channel electrical stimulation of the terminations of the auditory nerve in the cochleae of profoundly deaf persons. By simulating the gross pattern of electrical activity that would exist in the auditory nerve of a person with normal hearing, it is hoped that the sensation of hearing may be restored, and in particular, speech comprehension and communication re-established.
In order that the complications associated with a percutaneous connection to the intra-cochlear array may be avoided, a system has been devised which comprises an implantable stimulator controlled transcutaneously by an external transmitter. The implementation of this concept has established an interface between the electrode array and an external speech processor which is sufficiently transparent with respect to stimulus parameter control, to permit the investigation of coding schemes based on current auditory neurophysiological studies. In particular, control over both the amplitude and relative time of stimulation (or phase), as well as frequency of stimulation, of up to fifteen independent channels is possible. The phase control facility is considered a unique feature of the system for coding temporal data.
Finally, the transcutaneous link has been realised using a novel, dual radio frequency coupling system to provide efficient transfer of both power and data to the implanted device. The realisation of this link has been based upon the results of basic studies concerning the properties of coupling networks, together with the development of a high efficiency switching mode power converter to effect transcutaneous power transfer
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
