Dr Ian Jones, 1981
No full textDr Ian Jones, Principal lecturer in Biochemistry. Dr Jones participated in a debate in front of an audience of 500 year 12 students on the topic 'Creation or Evolution'. Dr Jones concluded that "Evolution is decisively the best explanation presently available". Dr Charles Pallaghy, Senior lecturer in Botany at La Trobe University, argued for the Creationist viewpoint.

Pitfalls in applying gravitomagnetism to galactic rotation curve modelling
Full text linkThe flatness of galaxy rotation curves at large radii is generally considered
to be a significant piece of evidence in support of the existence of dark
matter. Several studies have claimed that post-Newtonian corrections to the
Newtonian equations of galaxy dynamics may remove (at least to some degree) the
need for dark matter. A few recent studies have examined these claims, and
identified errors in their reasoning. We add to this critique by giving what we
consider to be particularly simple and transparent description of the errors
made in these post-Newtonian calculations, some of which were of a rather
technical nature, others more fundamental, e.g. the loss of the correct
relativistic scaling, promoting small corrections to order unity changes. Our
work reinforces the orthodoxy that post-Newtonian effects are indeed too small
to significantly alter galactic rotation curves, and will hopefully serve as a
useful guide for others, pointing out subtle errors that one might
inadvertently make in such calculations.Comment: Updated to match version accepted by CQ
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
