    В центре внимания автора статьи «Записки» Г. Р. Державина, представляющие по своей сути его автобиографию. Труд этот был создан на закате жизни, он включает все важнейшие события жизни Г. Р. Державина, поэта и государственного деятеля. Рассказ ведется от третьего лица, что придает особую атмосферу повествованию, выстраивается своеобразный диалог между автором и героем, все это и является предметом исследования автора статьи.The focus of the author of the article “Notes” G. R. Derzhavin, representing in essence his autobiography. This work was created at the end of his life; it includes all the most important events in the life of G. R. Derzhavin, poet and statesman. The story is told in a third person, which gives a special atmosphere to the story, a certain dialogue emerges between the author and the hero, all this is the subject of the author's research

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    No full text
    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

    "Closing the R&D Gap, Evaluating the Sources of R&D Spending"

    No full text
    Both spending and tax policies have been implemented in the United States with the goal of stimulating private sector research and development (R&D). Karier questions whether current R&D policy, especially the research and experimentation tax credit, can contribute to closing the gap between nondefense expenditures on R&D in the United States and such expenditures in other countries, such as Japan and Germany. He also explores possible changes to our current R&D policy to make it more effective.

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    No full text
    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

    Gravastars in f(R, G) gravity

    No full text
    This paper is focused on the study of gravitational vacuum stars or, briefly, gravastars in f(R, G) gravity, where R and G stand for the Ricci scalar and Gauss–Bonnet invariant term, respectively. Due to the involvement of highly non-linear differential equations, solutions are found by using some appropriate numerical techniques. The main structure of gravastars has been discussed according to core, shell, and exterior regions for a well-known f(R, G) gravity cosmological model. Mass–radius evolution is described graphically for the considered gravastar, and it is shown that the mass is directly proportional to the radius.The presentation of the authors' names and (or) special characters in the title of the pdf file of the accepted manuscript may differ slightly from what is displayed on the item page.

    Introduction: Starring the Author

    No full text
    Literary celebrity is by now a familiar feat of contemporary literary culture, but it continues to raise complex questions about the history and development of fame, the interplay between the cultural marketplace and the official culture of critics and the canon, and the relation between authorial agency and public appropriation. This introduction addresses these questions by approaching literary celebrity as a merging of two discursive constructions: the celebrity-function and the author-function. By combining insights from celebrity studies, literary history and cultural memory studies, the introduction conceptualizes literary celebrity as a discursive construction with several variables, such as the author’s self-presentation, the circulation of his public identity, changing opinions on literature and writership, and the public afterlife of the author’s image

    Spherically symmetric solution of f(R,G) gravity at low energy

    The weak-field and slow-motion limit of f(R,G) gravity is developed up to (v/c)(4) order in a spherically symmetric background. Considering the Taylor expansion of a general function f around vanishing values of R and G, we present general vacuum solutions up to (v/c)(4) order for the gravitational field generated by a ball-like source. The spatial behaviors at (v/c)(2) order are the same for f(R,G) gravity and f(R) gravity, and their corresponding real valued static behaviors are presented and compared with the one in general relativity. The static Yukawa-like behavior is proved to be compatible with the previous result of the most general fourth-order theory. At (v/c)(4) order, the static corrections to the Yukawa-like behavior for f(R,G) gravity, f(R) gravity, and the Starobinsky gravity are presented and compared with the one in general relativity.National Natural Science Foundation of China [11120101004, 11475006]SCI(E)[email protected]; [email protected]
