Recherche du boson de Higgs standard dans le canal WH à l'expérience D0 auprès du Tevatron
Full text linkThe Higgs mechanism provides the Standard Model with an appropriate theory of the origin of the mass of gauge bosons and elementary fermions. The Higgs boson has not yet been discovered, but a lower limit on its mass has been set at 114.4 GeV at 95% confidence level by the Lep collaborations. Higgs searches are now being pursued at the Tevatron, a proton - anti-proton collider with a centre-of- mass energy of 1.96TeV. At low mass the most sensitive channel is the associated production of a Higgs with a W boson. An analysis has been performed in the decay channel in which the Higgs goes into a bb pair and the W decays to a muon and a neutrino with 1 fb-1 of Run IIa data recorded by the DØ detector. The analysis relies on all the sub-detector components but most particularly on the calorimeter which is essential for reconstruction of the bb system. Good tracking and a b-identification neural network tool provide improved b-tagging performance which is crucial for this analysis. Because the energy resolution of jets is of paramount importance when hunting for a two-jet resonance bump, work has also been conducted on devising a better-performing calibration for jets which exhibit a muon and a neutrino in their fragmentation chain. The WH analysis is performed on a W+2 and W+3 jet event topology. Events containing a muon, missing transverse energy and two or three jets are selected; the jets are then b-tagged. The double-tagged and single-tagged channels are analysed separately so as to provide additional sensitivity. Signal-background separation via a neural network algorithm has furthermore been developed in the analysis in order to enhance sensitivity. This search for a standard Higgs boson has been conducted for Higgs masses ranging from 100GeV to 150GeV. Upper limits on production cross-section times branching ratio have been set. For a Higgs mass of 115GeV, the upper limit is set at 2.00 pb at 95% confidence level in the channel WH to munubb and 1.37 pb when combining the two channels WH to munubb and WH to enubb, which is to be compared to the theoretical prediction of 0.136 pb. Those results have been submitted for publication, and are used in the global combination of Cdf's and DØ's Higgs analyses.Le mécanisme de Higgs fournit au Modéle Standard une théorie de l'origine de la masse des bosons de jauge et des fermions élémentaires. Le boson de Higgs n'a pas encore été découvert, mais une limite inférieure à sa masse a été posée à 114,4 GeV à 95% de niveau de confiance par les collaborations Lep. La recherche du Higgs continue maintenant au Tevatron, un collisionneur proton - anti-proton d'énergie dans le centre de masse de 1,96TeV. À basse masse le canal le plus sensible est la production associée d'un Higgs avec un boson W. Une analyse a été conduite dans le canal de désintégration dans lequel le Higgs donne une paire bb et le W se désintègre en un muon et un neutrino sur 1 fb-1 de données du Run II enregistrées par le détecteur DØ. L'analyse s'appuie sur tous les sous-systèmes du détecteur, tout particulièrement sur le calorimètre qui est un élément essentiel pour la reconstruction du système bb. Une bonne trajectographie et un réseau de neurones d'identification des jets de b fournissent un étiquetage des b performant, ce qui est crucial pour cette analyse. La résolution en énergie des jets étant de première importance lorsqu'on recherche une résonance de deux jets, un travail d'amélioration de la calibration en énergie des jets qui présentent un muon et un neutrino dans leur chaîne de désintégration a également été conduit. L'analyse WH est effectuée sur des évènements à topologie de type W + 2 jets et W + 3 jets. Des évènements contenant un muon, de l'énergie transverse manquante et deux ou trois jets sont sélectionnés ; les jets sont ensuite étiquetés selon leur saveur. Les canaux simplement et doublement étiquetés sont analysés séparément afin d'obtenir une sensibilité plus importante. L'introduction d'une séparation signal / bruit de fond par réseau de neurones a également permis d'augmenter la sensibilité. Cette recherche d'un boson de Higgs standard a été effectuée pour une masse du Higgs s'étalant entre 100 et 150 GeV. Des limites supérieures sur la section efficace de production multipliée par le rapport d'embranchement sont calculées. Pour une masse du Higgs de 115 GeV, la limite supérieure est de 2,00 pb à 95% de niveau de confiance dans le canal WH to munubb et de 1,37 pb si l'on combine les canaux WH to munubb et WH to enubb, à comparer à la valeur théorique de 0,136 pb. Ces résultats ont été soumis pour publication et sont utilisés dans la combinaison globale des analyses de recherche du Higgs par les collaboration Cdf et DØ
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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
Full text linkWe 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
Full text linkWe 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

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.
