New Appearance of Formal Structure of Modern TSAI-MO－Creation Description by Lin Hung-Chien
No full text[[abstract]]The Chinese paintings always emphasize on spiritual expression and seldom talk about the form. Regarding the scholar-artist style of painting, Chen Hengke thinks that “the scholar-style painting firstly emphasizes on spirit, not on form. Therefore, this kind of painting is short of shape and those having elegant spirit could still be regarded as scholar-style paintings.” However, the existence of substance and subject must be expressed in a certain shape and appearance after all. The form is the appearance of a substance through which conveys the author’s viewpoints and thoughts. Artistic creation is the sentimental form on one hand and is the rational expression one another hand. Besides, form creation is principally for expressing conception. What is conception? It is just common contents. What the artists have felt, touched, experienced between natural reality and human’s world, and the supreme conception that artists have obtained from their thoughts and research, all of these have composed the soul and purport of artworks, even though they are the abstractive results. This is nothing more than the conception which is also the common principle distilled from natural reality and human’s world.
Prof. Read has said in his book 《A Concise History of Modern Painting》: “An artwork is a structure composed by the concrete factors of form and colors. The form and colors become rich in expression capability through synthetical arrangement. The form of an artwork is the content itself. Any expression capability of an artwork derives from the form.” All artworks are the integration of content and form and all artworks’ content is the result integrating subject and object.
The form is a way to exist for the content of an artwork, including the internal structure combined with the appearance of image. The content becomes so, just because it has the form. If there is no relative specific form, it would be impossible to represent any particular content. On the contrary, the artistic form could not exist independently; even an extremely abstractive form has its own content. The content could be a thought or a sensation and could also be precise or paradoxical. Only if has it (the content) its own expression, even though the mental condition that is hard to describe could still be a kind of content concealed behind artistic form.
The origin of all artworks can be said to derive from the experience of artistic life. Under the common principle, the works connect with a visible and colored object. The emotions and feelings must derive from all that one saw and heard, to be moved and therefore create images (intelligence). Furthermore, inspirations come and selections appear, and then the will orders to execute, therefore the works come into being. If none of outside things has been experienced, no creation could be done.
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
Development of sustainable esterification reactions and the transformation of carbohydrates into applicable building blocks
Get PDFThis thesis showcases some developments in chemical processes and synthesis leading to products of commercial interest. The thesis includes studies on esterification reactions to improve the catalysis of these reactions. In addition, deoxydehydration (DODH) reactions of alkyl glycosides are studied and illustrated. DODH reactions were performed to convert alkyl glycosides into diols, by eliminating a cis-diol moiety in pyranosides to result in alkenes and alkanes. Furthermore, this thesis presents the transformation of some common alkyl glycosides into their rare counterparts (C3-epimers) by sequential C3-oxidation and heterogeneous hydrogenation. Finally, the development of novel fructose-based surfactants from fructose and its derived saccharides is studied and discussed
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
