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
Real-time simulation of nonlinear audio effects using artificial intelligence
No full textCertains produits du domaine de la technologie musicale présentent des caractéristiques sonores uniques et recherchées par les musiciens. Ces caractéristiques sont souvent dues aux non-linéarités de leurs circuits électroniques. Nous cherchons à préserver le son de ces appareils par le biais de simulations numériques et à les rendre largement accessibles à de nombreux musiciens. Ce domaine d’étude a connu une forte augmentation de l’utilisation des réseaux de neurones pour la simulation au cours des dernières années. Dans ce travail, nous proposons d’utiliser les réseaux neuronaux pour cette tâche. En particulier, nous nous concentrons sur les méthodes de boîte noire capables de fonctionner en temps réel pour la modélisation des effets non linéaires, tout en gardant les contraintes du guitariste à l’esprit. Nous couvrons l’état actuel des connaissances et identifions les domaines qui méritent d’être améliorés ou étudiés, avec pour objectif final le développement d’un produit. La première étape, qui consiste à identifier les architectures capables de traiter en temps réel et en continu, est suivie par l’augmentation et l’amélioration de ces architectures et de leur pipeline d’apprentissage grâce à un certain nombre de méthodes. Ces méthodes comprennent l’intégration continue avec des tests unitaires, l’optimisation automatique des hyperparamètres et l’utilisation de l’apprentissage par transfert. Un prototype en temps réel utilisant un backend C++ personnalisé est créé à l’aide de ces méthodes. Une étude sur l’anticrénelage en temps réel pour les modèles boîte noire est présentée, car il a été constaté que ces réseaux présentent de grandes quantités de distorsion d’anticrénelage. Le travail sur l’incorporation du contrôle de l’utilisateur a également commencé pour une simulation complète des systèmes analogiques. Cela permet à l’utilisateur final de disposer d’une gamme complète de possibilités de modification de la tonalité. Les performances des approches présentées sont évaluées de manière objective et subjective. Enfin, un certain nombre d’orientations possibles pour les travaux futurs sont également présentées.Certain products in the realm of music technology have uniquely desirable sonic characteristics that are often sought after by musicians. These characteristics are often due to the nonlinearities of their electronic circuits. We are concerned with preserving the sound of this gear through digital simulations and making them widely available to numerous musicians. This field of study has seen a large rise in the use of neural networks for the simulation in recent years. This work applies neural networks for the task. Particularly, we focus on real-time capable black-box methods for nonlinear effects modelling, with the guitarist in mind. We cover the current state-of-the-art and identify areas warranting improvement or study with a final goal of product development. A first step of identifying architectures capable of real-time processing in a streaming manner is followed by augmenting and improving these architectures and their training pipeline through a number of methods. These methods include continuous integration with unit testing, automatic hyperparameter optimisation, and the use of transfer learning. A real-time prototype utilising a custom C++ backend is created using these methods. A study in real-time anti-aliasing for black-box models is presented as it was found that these networks exhibit high amounts of aliasing distortion. Work on user control incorporation is also started for a comprehensive simulation of the analogue systems. This enables a full range of tone-shaping possibilities for the end user. The performance of the approaches presented is assessed both through objective and subjective evaluation. Finally, a number of possible directions for future work are also presented

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
