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
Étude d'oscillateur à vortex nano-contact commensurable et chaotique (NCVO) pour le traitement de l'information
No full textLa quantité de données utilisées dans les technologies de l'information augmente considérablement. Cela s'accompagne de la prolifération de technologies électroniques très avancées. Les problèmes thermiques, résultant de ces grands processus de données, imposent l'utilisation de nouvelles technologies et de nouveaux paradigmes à la place des circuits CMOS. Les dispositifs spintroniques sont l'une des nombreuses alternatives proposées jusqu'à présent dans la littérature. Dans ce travail, nous considérons un dispositif spintronique appelé oscillateur vortex à nano-contact (NCVO), qui a récemment commencé à attirer l'attention en raison de sa dynamique riche et variable. Cet oscillateur est actionné par un courant continu de polarisation et soumis à un champ magnétique, qui détermine sa dynamique de sortie. L'utilisation pratique du NCVO nécessite l'existence d'un modèle précis qui imite son aimantation de sortie et la trajectoire du vortex tournant autour du centre dans la couche supérieure de l'appareil. Ces deux variables sont nécessaires au calcul de la résistance équivalente du NCVO. Pour cela, nous construisons dans ce travail de thèse un modèle pour le NCVO produisant ces deux variables en utilisant une approche de calcul réservoir appelée réseau piloté par conceptor. Le réseau est formé sur les données NCVO acquises par simulation micromagnétique. Le modèle construit capture avec succès la dynamique du NCVO dans ses différents régimes (chaotique, périodique et quasi-périodique) avec un passage facile entre les régimes. Le même réseau est ensuite utilisé pour la détection du chaos dans la série des temps d'entrée. La méthode de détection de chaos proposée s'est révélée efficace et plus robuste par rapport aux méthodes existantes. Enfin, le modèle NCVO est exploité pour la génération de nombres véritablement aléatoires (TRNG) où une conception matérielle, alimentée par un signal chaotique généré par le modèle, est proposée. Cette conception a montré la capacité de concurrencer les techniques RNG existantes en termes de vitesse, de coût et de qualité.The amount of data used in information technology is increasing dramatically. This comes with the proliferation of highly advanced electronic technologies. The thermal issues, rising as an effect of such large data processes, impose the usage of novel technologies and paradigms in place of CMOS circuits. Spintronic devices are one of many alternatives proposed so far in the literature. In this work, we consider a spintronic device called nano-contact vortex oscillator (NCVO), which has recently begun to gain attention due to its rich and variable dynamics. This oscillators is operated by an bias DC current and subjected in a magnetic field, that determines it output dynamics. The practical use of the NCVO requires the existence of an accurate model that imitates its output magnetization and the vortex's trajectory rotating around the center in the upper layer of the device. These two variables are needed for the calculation of the equivalent resistance of the NCVO. For that, we build in this PhD work a model for the NCVO producing these two variables using a reservoir computing approach called conceptor-driven network. The network is trained on NCVO data gained by micromagnetic simulation. The built model successfully captures the NCVO dynamics in its different regimes (chaotic, periodic, and quasi- periodic) with an easy shift between regimes. The same network is used then for the detection of chaos in the input-times series. The proposed chaos-detection method has shown to be efficient and more robust compared to existing methods. Finally, the NCVO model is exploited for truly random number generation (TRNG) where a hardware design, fed by a chaotic signal generated by the model, is proposed. This design has shown the ability to compete existing RNG techniques in terms of speed, cost, and quality
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.
