J.W.P 1869 inscription
No full textColor photograph of J.W.P 1869 inscription located near the rim of plateau above the Arches National Park Visitor Center. It is incised on low, cliffside wall. Purported by some to be the initials of scientist and explorer John Wesley Powell who in 1869 descended the Green and Colorado Canyons. However, he was nowhere near what later would be the Moab area. Probably spurious
Ka hana hoopunipuni a kekahi kahuna Hawaii e noho ana ma Honouliuli Ewa-kea, Oahu
No full textLetter by J.W.P. Keolanui from Apua, Honouliuli about a kahuna named Kahale who is from Piihonua, Hilo, but residing in Honouliuli. Kahale had a wind god named Kahoalii and tried to heal Pareta Kama. When Kama died, Kahale fled to different parts of the Ewa moku
He mau hale hina ma Honouliuli Ewa i ka makani
No full textLetter from J.W.P. Keolanui of Apua, Honouliuli, stating that a strong storm blew through Honouliuli and knocked down the house of D.H. Kekukahiko. The storm also destroyed the fishponds, Pahau and Hapenui, of J.W. Kaikainahaole. The kamaaina are guessing it was a type of Kona wind (maybe the Kona Kalaeloa, Kona Kalaenihi, Kona Puukuua, Kona Anuhea, or Kona Kuo) that was spoken of by Kamapuaa
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
Sets of even type in PG(3, 4), alias the binary (85, 24) projective geometry code
No full textAbstractTo characterize Hermitian varieties in projective space PG(d, q) of d dimensions over the Galois field GF(q), it is necessary to find those subsets K for which there exists a fixed integer n satisfying (i) 3 ⩽ n ⩽ q − 1, (ii) every line meets K in 1, n or q + 1 points. K is called singular or non-singular as there does or does not exist a point P for which every line through P meets K in 1 or q + 1 points. For q odd, a non-singular K is a non-singular Hermitian variety (M. Tallini Scafati “Caratterizzazione grafica delle forme hermitiane di un Sr, q” Rend. Mat. Appl. 26 (1967), 273–303). For q even, q > 4 and d = 3, a non-singular K is a Hermitian surface or “looks like” the projection of a non-singular quadric in PG(4, q) (J.W.P. Hirschfeld and J.A. Thas “Sets of type (1, n, q + 1) in PG(d, q)” to appear). The case q = 4 is quite exceptional, since the complements of these sets K form a projective geometry code, a (21, 11) code for d = 2 and an (85, 24) code for d = 3. The full list of these sets is given
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe 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
