Colour Education: a Basic Methodology and a Framework of Experiments for Colour and Lighting Design Teaching
No full textIn this article, a series of basic experiments on the visual perception of light and colour are presented. They are intended to provide practical verification of, and experimentation on, three fundamental aspects that govern the relationship between light, colour and humans: the light’s physical traits, visual-optical aspects and cognitive aspects, which influence our perception of objects and the environment
AIC Annual Review 2024
Get PDFThe AIC Annual Review, released every March, is a peer-reviewed Diamond Open Access publication, ensuring that its content is freely accessible to readers worldwide without subscription fees. It provides a detailed account of the AIC\u27s global network, featuring:
The Editors note.
The AIC President\u27s Report, the AIC and Executive Committee updates.
Reports of the activities of AIC members.
Reports of the activities of the AIC Study Groups.
Summaries of AIC Awards, Congresses and Conferences, obituaries and financial report.
The editorial team has included prominent experts in the field. The editorial leadership of the AIC Annual Review and its predecessors reflects the dedication of distinguished experts in the field of color science. Alan Robertson served as editor for the AIC Annual Newsletters in 1986–1987, followed by Paul Green-Armytage (1990, 1993), Roy Osborne (1994–1997), Paula J. Alessi (1998, 2000–2001), and Roy S. Berns (2006, 2008–2009). Lindsay MacDonald took on the role from 2010 to 2017, overseeing the transition from AIC Annual Newsletters to the AIC Annual Report. Vien Cheung and Leslie Harrington began co-editing the AIC Annual Review in 2017, joined by Takahiko Horiuchi (2019–2020), Robert Hirschler (2021), and Ingrid Calvo Ivanovic (2022–2023). The current Editors, Maurizio Rossi and Ingrid Calvo Ivanovic continues this legacy, establishing this website to organize and collect together over 40 years of information on the activities in the color sector at a global level, ensuring these publications maintain their high standards and comprehensive coverage of the AIC\u27s activities.
As a fundamental part of its mission, the AIC Annual Review now promotes peer-reviewed interdisciplinary collaboration, knowledge dissemination, and innovation in all the areas of color, supporting the AIC\u27s overarching goals of fostering research and global understanding of color
Analyzing color training in design education: A review from 2010 to 2022
No full textThis study was part of a doctoral research project which looked into the current issues with color education, documented by several authors in recent years. It presents a comprehensive analysis of 103 color courses taught within
design programs of higher education institutions from different countries over the last 12 years, 2010–2022. The analysis aimed to define the state-of-the-art of including color training within higher education design programs, identify the main didactic strategies implemented, and recognize the main critical aspects to face when proposing an innovative framework for color training. Among the formal aspects analyzed are the course level, the course duration,
the student entry profile, the specific disciplinary area, the course location, the type of institution, and the language of the course. The didactic strategy elements analyzed were the learning outcomes, the contents proposed by the
course, the teaching strategies implemented, and the suggested bibliography. Finally, a description of the main findings of the analysis is provided to assess how color is being taught within the design area
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
