„Non tutte le strade portano a Milano”. Die verschlungenen Wege des Briefwechsels zwischen Muratori, Cuper und Leibniz
No full textDie vollständige Herausgabe des sich in verschiedenen Bibliotheken Europas befindlichen Briefwechsels zwischen Muratori und Cuper (der für die Überwindung von Missverständnissen auch auf die Vermittlerrolle von Magliabechi und Leibniz zurückgriff) wirft ein neues Licht auf die Anfänge des literarischen Schaffens Muratoris: Zwar wandte sich der Modeneser 1696 für die Edition von vier unbekannten Gedichten des Heiligen Paulinus von Nola aus der Biblioteca Ambrosiana an verschiedene Gelehrte, u. a. an den berühmten niederländischen Altertumsforscher Gisbert Cuper, jedoch berücksichtigte er dessen Kommentare weder für die Erstausgabe der Anecdota (1697) noch für die vollständige Werkedition von Paulinus aus dem Jahre 1736. Der Briefwechsel zeigt, dass Muratori die sorgfältigen Anmerkungen Cupers 1696 zu spät für die Drucklegung der Erstausgabe erreichten und dass Muratori mit der Zweitausgabe von 1736 – zwanzig Jahre nach dem Tod von Cuper und Leibniz – nicht mehr betraut war, weil er sich in der Zwischenzeit mit der Publikation seiner großen mittelalterlichen Werke befasste. Bemerkenswert ist, dass das Archivio Muratoriano in Modena heute etliche Briefe des niederländischen an Muratori aufbewährt, Muratori jedoch 1749 dem deutschen Gelehrten J. K. Schläger, der an der Veröffentlichung des Briefwechsels Cupers arbeitete, gegenüber verneinte, Briefe des alten Freundes zu besitzen.
(italiano) La pubblicazione del carteggio completo, finora inedito, di Muratori e Cuper (che per la trasmissione delle lettere si appoggiarono anche a Magliabechi e Leibniz) fa luce su un aspetto non chiaro degli esordi letterari di Muratori: il quale, volendo pubblicare nel 1696 quattro poemetti sconosciuti di San Paolino da Nola trovati alla biblioteca Ambrosiana, per il commento si rivolse a vari eruditi, tra cui il celebre classicista olandese Gisbert Cuper, ma non tenne conto dei suggerimenti di questo né nella prima edizione degli Anecdota (1697) né nell’edizione completa di Paolino del 1736. Il carteggio mostra che Muratori ricevette le accurate note di Cuper troppo tardi per sfruttarle nel 1697, e che probabilmente non seguì la stampa 1736, fatta comunque venti anni dopo la morte di Cuper e Leibniz, e quando il modenese era preso dalle sue grandi opere di storia medievale. Rimane tuttavia singolare che, sebbene l’Archivio Muratoriano conservi tuttora originali o copie di varie lettere dell’olandese, nel 1749 Muratori negasse di possederli all’altro erudito tedesco J. K. Schläger che stava curando l’epistolario di Cuper
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
Letter to Nature. Growth of nanowire superlattice structures for nanoscale photonics and electronics
No full textThe assembly of semiconductor nanowires and carbon nanotubes into nanoscale devices and circuits could enable diverse applications in nanoelectronics and photonics1. Individual semiconducting nanowires have already been configured as field-effect transistors2, photodetectors3 and bio/chemical sensors4. More sophisticated light-emitting diodes5 (LEDs) and complementary and diode logic6-8 devices have been realized using both n- and p-type semiconducting nanowires or nanotubes. The n- and p-type materials have been incorporated in these latter devices either by crossing p- and n-type nanowires2, 5, 6, 9 or by lithographically defining distinct p- and n-type regions in nanotubes8, 10, although both strategies limit device complexity. In the planar semiconductor industry, intricate n- and p-type and more generally compositionally modulated (that is, superlattice) structures are used to enable versatile electronic and photonic functions. Here we demonstrate the synthesis of semiconductor nanowire superlattices from group III–V and group IV materials. (The superlattices are created within the nanowires by repeated modulation of the vapour-phase semiconductor reactants during growth of the wires.) Compositionally modulated superlattices consisting of 2 to 21 layers of GaAs and GaP have been prepared. Furthermore, n-Si/p-Si and n-InP/p-InP modulation doped nanowires have been synthesized. Single-nanowire photoluminescence, electrical transport and electroluminescence measurements show the unique photonic and electronic properties of these nanowire superlattices, and suggest potential applications ranging from nano-barcodes to polarized nanoscale LEDs
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
