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
Arquitectura de la novela española española actual (2006 - 2014)
No full textEn la presente tesis se aborda el tema de la novela española actual definida como creación narrativa privilegiada de la contemporaneidad, es decir, estrechamente vinculada al contexto social, cultural, económico, tecnológico y lingüístico de hoy. La hipótesis principal del estudio es que una parte significativa de estas novelas se está acercando a la manera de explorar la realidad característica de otros medios de comunicación, convirtiéndose gradualmente en artefactos de la cultura contemporánea más que en obras estrictamente literarias y homogéneas. El objeto de análisis se realiza sobre obras narrativas de escritores españoles publicadas entre 2006 y 2014, es decir, tras el surgimiento del debate sobre el género novelesco provocado por la aparición de la novela Nocilla Dream de Agustín Fernández Mallo.
La tesis explora las posibilidades de traducir las pautas del análisis arquitectónico al ámbito de la teoría literaria. Se revisa, por tanto, la operatividad de una metodología basada en la teoría arquitectónica y narratología posclásica, así como la posibilidad de establecer unos rasgos típicos de las novelas del corpus a partir del estudio de sus componentes y estructuras. Para este fin ha sido fundamental someter la teoría a la práctica y observar en qué medida las novelas analizadas comparten características tanto literarias como extraliterarias, y si realmente es posible generar una categoría integrada sobre la narrativa actual que se alimente principalmente de su contemporaneidad cultural.Tesis Univ.

Utilizing acceleration measurements to improve TDOA based localization
Get PDFIn this paper localization using UWB positioning system and an inertial unit
containing a single accelerometer is considered. The main part of the paper
describes a novel algorithm for person localization. The algorithm is based on
modified Extended Kalman Filter and utilizes TDOA (Time Difference of Arrival)
results obtained from UWB system and results of acceleration measurement
performed by the localized tag device. The proposed algorithm has been
experimentally investigated through simulation and experiments. The results are
included in the paper.Comment: Originally presented at 2017 Signal Processing Symposium (SPSympo),

Improving BLE Based Localization Accuracy Using Proximity Sensors
Get PDFBluetooth Low Energy systems are one of the most popular solutions used for
indoor localization. Unfortunately their accuracy might not be sufficient for
some of the applications. One way to reduce localization errors is hybrid
positioning, which combines measurement results obtained with different
techniques. The paper describes a concept of a hybrid localization system in
which Bluetooth Low Energy technology is supported with the use of laser
proximity sensors. Results from both system parts are fused using a novel,
simple positioning algorithm. The proposed system concept was tested using BLE
and proximity sensors evaluation boards.Comment: Originally presented at 2018 26th Telecommunication Forum (TELFOR),

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
