Combinatorial identities associated with new families of the numbers and polynomials and their approximation values
Get PDFRecently, the numbers and the polynomials
have been introduced by the second author [22]. The purpose
of this paper is to construct higher-order of these numbers and polynomials
with their generating functions. By using these generating functions with their
functional equations and derivative equations, we derive various identities and
relations including two recurrence relations, Vandermonde type convolution
formula, combinatorial sums, the Bernstein basis functions, and also some well
known families of special numbers and their interpolation functions such as the
Apostol--Bernoulli numbers, the Apostol--Euler numbers, the Stirling numbers of
the first kind, and the zeta type function. Finally, by using Stirling's
approximation for factorials, we investigate some approximation values of the
special case of the numbers .Comment: 17 page
Examination of the effects of innovative work behavior and leadership support on employees
No full textRepresented to be? Theories on public sphere and democracy frequently applied in Library and Information Science (LIS) are discussed in relation to the ranging notions. Findings - The analysis shows that although for all is used as an argument by both advocates and opponents of the principle of neutrality, there are different notions of who constitutes for all. In total, five ranging notions of for all are identified and presented in a typology, to serve as a framework to understand the conflicts concerning neutrality and the public library for all. Originality/value - The typology offers a new conceptual framework for understanding the nature of the conflicts and why they appear. The analysis indicates a need to discuss the use of for all in order to engage in more nuanced discussions of the democratic role of the public library. Keywords Public libraries, For all, Neutrality, Librarianship, Democracy, Public sphere, Freedom of speech Paper type Research paper Introduction This paper explores the ranging notions of a public library for all, and the related conflicts on for all and the principle of neutrality in Norway and Denmark. Descriptions of the public library often include statements that emphasize the library as an institution that empowers users by proving equal access to information (Audunson et al ., 2020) and a cornerstone o
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
Multidimensional Bernstein polynomials and Bezier curves: Analysis of machine learning algorithm for facial expression recognition based on curvature
No full textKUCUKOGLU, IREM/0000-0001-9100-2252; SIMSEK, BUKET/0000-0001-8372-2129In this paper, by using partial derivative formulas of generating functions for the multidimensional unification of the Bernstein basis functions and their functional equations, we derive derivative formulas and identities for these basis functions and their generating functions. We also give a conjecture and some open questions related to not only subdivision property of these basis functions, but also solutions of a higher-order special differential equations. Moreover, we provide an implementation for a real world problem of human facial expression recognition with the help of curvature of Bezier curves whose machine learning supported by statistical evaluations on feature vectors using in the aforementioned machine learning algorithm.

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
