Fort Erie, C.W.
No full textHistoric map showing the Fort Erie Military Reserve in 1850. Explanatory text below the title is as follows: “Plan of the Military Reserve, showing all the Houses thereon, and the quantity of land attached to each, Etc., as called for by Colonel Vavasour’s Order dated 19th November 1850.” Below this text is a reference chart which lists occupant names, the quantity of land they owned and a description of the buildings on the property. It is noted that the information came from a survey completed in December 1850. Further, a memorandum provides more detailed information about the plan.Plan shows the military reserve land at Fort Erie, which sits adjacent to Lake Erie. The “Ruins of Fort Erie” are shown with portioned land underneath an overlay. The overlay indicates the land portions in a different location than the original plan which can be still be seen. The overlay is noted to have been; “taken from a Plan signed Gother Mann Col. (?) Royl. Engr. Quebec 1st Augst. 1803.” Also shown on the overlay is the location of a proposed fort and “Building Lots for Merchants and Traders on the Kings reserved Land.” Fort Erie in ruins and a King’s Store is marked. The direction/placement of the overlay is peculiar as it places the proposed fort and ruins of Fort Erie in the Lake. Wooded land surrounds the land occupied by the fort and labelled lots. A notation along the shore reads: “General line of ordinary High Water Mark.” “Public Road” is shown to the north and another cross road is shown running south from the public road to the lake. A notation above Public Road reads: “a,b,c, Stones placed by the Boundary Commissioners.” The map has been signed by participating authors: "Copy J. Nightingale, 18th Novr. 1851."; "Signed Henry Vavasour... Canada, 8th March 1851."; "Signed Alex Gordon ... Kingston, 25 Dec. 1850."Authorship indicated: S. Freeth, Alex Gordon, J.

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
Introduction to the Case Studies
No full textThis part introduction presents an overview of the key concepts discussed in the subsequent chapters. The part highlights the importance of fitting alternatives conceived at wider scales to local realities, so that initiatives aimed at producing beneficial change can work with and for local people. It explores how global concerns and narratives are reworked into local practices, and investigates attempts at putting alternative lifestyles into practice. The part investigates the way local communities engage in sustainability. It also explores contested narratives of sustainability in mining practices in the boreal north—the Lake Superior Basin in North America and Sapmi in northern Scandinavia. The part agues how decisions about sustainable mine developments are not purely scientific or technical decisions and how the meaning of sustainability is open for interpretations. It examines the idea that concepts and models of agricultural sustainability need to embrace elements that are as much social and political as they are technical. © 2019 Taylor & Francis
