Evolution of nuclear structure of germanium isotopes around N = 40
Collinear laser spectroscopy measurements were performed on 68−74Ge isotopes (Z = 32) using the COLLAPS setup at ISOLDE/CERN. The hyperfine structure of the 4s24p2 3P1 → 4s24p5s 3P o 1 transition in the germanium atom was probed with laser light of 269 nm, produced by combining the frequency-mixing and frequency-doubling techniques. A detailed analysis of the hyperfine spectra of 69Ge, led to revised values of its magnetic and quadrupole moments, which deviate significantly from the results from an earlier study using the atomic beam magnetic resonance technique. The experimental moments of 69,71,73Ge agree well with the effective single-particle value for an odd neutron in respectively the νf5/2, νp1/2 and νg9/2 orbit, using $g^{eff}_s = 0.7 g^{free}_s , which might suggest rather pure configurations. However, a comparison with large-scale shell-model calculations using the JUN45 interaction, with 56Ni as a core and neutrons limited to N = 50, reveal rather mixed wave-functions. Through a comparison of the odd-N isotope magnetic and quadrupole moments with neighbouring isotones, the structural change from the single-particle nature of nickel to deformation in germanium is further investigated around N = 40. The experimental mean square charge radii of 68−74Ge are compared with the droplet model values revealing a weak subshell effect at N = 40 and an increased collectivity in the germanium isotopes, as compared to their lower-Z isotones. The odd-even staggering of the radii of the germanium isotopes is found to be larger than for the other isotopes in the region, with less than 40 neutrons. While only one value is available beyond N = 40, this value suggests a weakening of the odd-even staggering, but more neutron-rich data are needed to confirm this
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
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
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
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
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
