Sobibor Interviews 1983-1984, interview 03, Samuel Lerer
No full textInterview with Samuel Lerer (Zolkiewka 1 October 1922). Lerer was one of the first prisoners to arrive in Sobibor. He was ordered to look after the horses and this gave him access to much of the camp. During the uprising both his brothers were killed. Etched in his mind is 'how my father went to the gas chamber naked'.
In the camp he also had to fatten up ducks for SS officer Frenzel. After the war in Berlin he and Esther Raab exposed SS officer Bauer, the operator of the gas engine. Samuel Lerer moved to Brooklyn in the United States, where he worked as a taxi driver. He is currently living in Marlboro, New Jersey USA and has survived to know two children, four grandchildren, two great-grandchildren and one on the way
Records of the Yidisher Lerer Fareyn, Vilna, 1918-1938
No full textCorrespondence with individuals and organizations. Minutes of meetings of the executive board, 1928-1933. Materials relating to the Strike Committee, 1928-1931. Contribution lists from individual schools. Bookkeeping records. Printed materials. Materials relating to the Hebrew Teachers' Union.Inventory: English, 12 pp., typedYiddish Teachers' Union. The Yidisher Lerer Fareyn was a professional association in Vilna which promoted the interests of its member teachers. Founded in 1915, it was ideologically associated with the Yiddish secular schools known as the TSYSHO schools. At first, the YLF membership was comprised of Yiddish secular teachers. Eventually, it represented the interests of teachers in Hebrew and religious schools as well. The YTU lobbied for higher salaries and led teachers' strikes against the Vilna Kehillah (Community Board). It also ran a teachers' placement service and maintained a sick fund for members. The YLF was active until the outbreak of World War II.Part of the pre-World War II collections of the YIVO Institute in Vilnius, Lithuania. Included in the Edward Blank YIVO Vilna Online Collections

COMMON IDENTIFIED CORAL DISEASES
No full textЗбірник наукового товариства студентів, аспірантів та молодих вчених. Природничі науки:COMMON IDENTIFIED CORAL DISEASES./Lerer V.,кол.авт. Одесский нац. ун-т им. И.И. Мечникова.:англ. - Одеса, Південне мисливство, 2011.Coral reefs are among the most biologically diverse ecosystems on earth and harbor of a large number of unique marine taxa. However, over the last few decades, 27% of coral reefs have been destroyed worldwide, and in places such as Belize, up to 75% of the coral reef habitat has been lost. The destruction of coral reef ecosystems is a complex phenomenon and can be attributed to a combination of factors. Bacterial and fungal agents may cause different reef diseases.

Coherent Excitation of X-Ray Fluorescence and Interference of Radiation at the Output of Polycapillary Structures
No full textThe diffraction of long-wavelength X rays with the energy corresponding to the region of anomalous dispersion near the Si L2,3 absorption edges transmitted through microchannel plates has been studied both experimentally and theoretically. The radiation of a finite antenna array, as well as the processes of excitation of X-ray fluorescence and propagation of waves in hollow waveguide structures, has been mathematically simulated. The model describes a polycapillary structure consisting of noninteracting emitters, which are hollow channels of a microchannel plate. It has been shown that coherently excited X-ray fluorescence propagates primarily in the direction of the zeroth diffraction order
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
No full text“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
No full textWe 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
No full textWe 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
Author, publisher and bookseller : a tripartite synergy in Nigerian book industry
No full textThis work is about the roles of Author, Publisher and Bookseller in Book development in
Nigeria. The paper started by delving into the history of Book Publishing in Nigeria after
which it proceeded by defining who an author, a publisher, and a bookseller is and
expatiated on the indispensable roles of these key actors in Nigerian Book Industry and in
the emerging Information Society. Furthermore, the various constraints to book
development were identified while the paper advised on how the Book Industry can be
further promoted in Nigeria. However, the paper concluded and made recommendations
on how the Book sector can help in enhancing scholarship in the country
