DATABASE DESCRIPTION
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following description of the TELE database is from Khamis et al (2016):
"In Redmond et al (2012), 300 ECG single lead-I signals recorded in a telehealth environment are described. The data was recorded using the TeleMedCare Health Monitor (TeleMedCare Pty. Ltd. Sydney, Australia). This ECG is sampled at a rate of 500 Hz using dry metal Ag/AgCl plate electrodes which the patient holds with each hand; a reference electrode plate is also positioned under the pad of the right hand. Of the 300 recordings, 250 were selected randomly from 120 patients, and the remaining 50 were manually selected from 168 patients to obtain a larger representation of poor quality data.
Three independent scorers annotated the data by identifying sections of artifact and QRS complexes. All scorers then annotated the signals as a group, to reconcile the individual annotations. Sections of the ECG signal which were less than 5 s in duration were considered to be part of the neighboring artifact sections and were subsequently masked. QRS annotations in the masked regions were discarded prior to the artifact mask and QRS locations being saved.
Of the 300 telehealth ECG records in Redmond et al. (2012), 50 records (including 29 of the 250 randomly selected records and 21 of the 50 manually selected records) were discarded as all annotated RR intervals within these records overlap with the annotated artifact mask and therefore, no heart rate can be calculated, which is required for measuring algorithm performance. The remaining 250 records will be referred to as the TELE database."
For all 250 recordings in the TELE database, the mains frequency was 50 Hz, the sampling frequency was 500 Hz and the top and bottom rail voltages were 5.556912223578890 and -5.554198887532222 mV respectively.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DATA FILE DESCRIPTION
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Each record in the TELE database is stored as a X_Y.dat file where X indicates the index of the record in the TELE database (containing a total of 250 records) and Y indicates the index of the record in the original dataset containing 300 records (see Redmond et al. 2012).
The .dat file is a comma separated values file. Each line contains:
- the ECG sample value (mV)
- a boolean indicating the locations of the annotated qrs complexes
- a boolean indicating the visually determined mask
- a boolean indicating the software determined mask (see Khamis et al. 2016)

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
