    The 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

    Dept. of Dental Science/석사[한글]이 논문은 단일조사 저출력 CO2 laser조사가 치주인대 섬유아세포의 증식과 분화에 미치는 영향을 살펴보고 가장 효과적인 에너지와 파워밀도(power density)를 알아보기 위하여 다음과 같이 실험하였다.0.5W 출력, 10.6 ㎛ 파장, 50 Hz 연속형 CO2 laser를 사용하여, 실험군은 laser tip과 배양된 세포 사이의 거리를 2cm, 3cm으로 나누고, 조사시간을 1초, 3초로 나누어 4개의 군으로 설정하였고 대조군은 laser를 조사하지 않은 군으로 하였다. 치주인대 섬유아세포의 증식정도와 골모세포로의 분화정도를 보기 위하여 각각 MTT 실험과 ALP activity 실험을 시행하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다.1. Laser를 조사하고 난 후 5일째에, 모든 군에서 유의하게 세포가 증식되는 것을 확인할 수 있었고 조사방법간에 유의한 차이가 없었다.2. 대조군과 실험군에서 0일째에 비하여 3일째, 5일째, 7일째, 10일째에 통계적으로 유의하게 ALP activity가 증가하였고, 이중 2cm,1sec 군을 제외하면 3일째에서 가장 높은 ALP activity 값을 보였다. 특징적으로 2Cm,1sec 군은 3일째부터 10일까지 통계적으로 유의하지는 않지만 시간이 지남에 따라서 ALP activity가 증가함을 보였다.7일과 10일째에는 2cm,1sec, 3cm,3sec군에서 다른 군에 비하여 큰 activity값을 보였다.이번실험에서 저출력 CO2 laser 조사는 세포의 증식보다는 분화에 더 큰 영향을 끼쳤고, 2cm,1sec, 3cm,3sec군이 치주인대 섬유아세포의 분화에 가장 효과적인 laser 조사방법으로 분석되었다. [영문]Low-power laser therapy using CO2 lasers is known to activate surrounding cells and tissue. Shiozaki et al.(2005) achieved that low-power CO2 lasers induced not only mineralization but also osteoblast differentiation. And Tajima et al (2003). reported that low-power CO2 laser accelerates new bone formation within the marrow cavity subjacent to the laser treatment site. In spite of successful clinical and experimental results, the mechanisms underlying low-power CO2 laser effects are still poorly understood.The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of low-power CO2 laser in growth and proliferation of cultured human PDL fibroblast in vitro and to understand better about the effect of laser on periodontal regeneration. The study also tried to find out the most effective degree of energy and power density where cell proliferation and differentiation to osteoblastic cells highly takes place after laser irradiation.The experimental groups were divided into 4 groups by applying different irradiating distances from cultured cell to laser tip; 2Cm (Focal spot=∅0.74mm), 3Cm (Focal spot=∅1.04mm) and different irradiating time; 1 second, 3 seconds. And they were applied to laser at a power of 0.5W with 50Hz under continuous mode. The control group was not applied to laser. MTT and ALP activity test were performed to observe the growth of PDL cells and cell differentiation to osteoblastic cells. The result are as follows.1. On the 5th day after laser irradiation, statistically significant increase of cells were found in all groups. But, no significant differences were found among groups.2. Statistically significant increase of ALP activity was seen on the 3rd, 5th, 7th, and 10th day after laser irradiation compared to the baseline. Among this, there were highest ALP activity on 3rd day except 2cm,1sec group. 2cm,1sec group showed increase of ALP activity not statistically significant from the 3rd day to 10th day.On the 7th and 10th day 3cm,1sec, 3cm,3sec and 2cm,1sec group showed significant high score of ALP activity compared to 2cm,3sec and control group.In this study, there was a weak effect of low-power CO2 laser on cell proliferation but there was a better effect on cell differentiation. 2cm,1sec irradiation was found to be the most effective condition for PDL cell differentiation in this study and 3cm, 3sec was found to be efficient.ope

    Variations on the Author

    “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

    We 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

    We 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

    We 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 text
    In 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.
