Lighting Design with Moving-lights
No full text阿匹亞(Adolphe Appia，1862-1928)可以說是現代劇場視覺設計之先驅，他所提
出或發展的設計理論如一般舞台照明(Helligkeit)及反映形式照明(Gestaltendes
Licht)；律動(Eurhythmics)與劇場元素之關係；非寫實且象徵性佈景(Trompe-ľoeil)等
不但為當時具寫實風格的舞台佈景開啟一個嶄新的、較為純粹藝術風貌的革命，同
時也深刻地影響其後代之劇場設計師們，如美國的李名覺、台灣的聶光炎等。
本研究計畫首先將深入研究阿匹亞的文章及論著，以及相關的評論或專書，現
存之資料多為文字及黑白圖繪，無法竀探原始設計面貌，將藉由電腦軟體之助，將
當時之演出進行3D 虛擬重現，希望經由舞台畫面的再現而得到視覺影像的佐證，
進而整理歸納阿匹亞的設計美學，並提供現代劇場設計學習者一個全觀性融會理解
的教材。Adolphe Appia (1862-1928) is the pioneer of modern stage lighting Design. His
design theories such as Helligkeit and Gestaltendes; the relationship between Eurhythmics
and visual elements; Trompe-l’oeil not only inspire a revolution of visual style from
realistic to brand new and purified, but also deeply impact the theatre designers as
Ming-Cho Lee and Kuang-Yen Nieh.
The project will start from studying and inducting his design theories and related
articles. Since we are not capable to get the entire performance-look from the document
and black-and-white stage sketches, but we can understand the theories more effectively
by establishing 3D virtualized stage images from the computerized simulation software,
therefore, we are able to provide a learning source for the students and also a teaching
material for the teachers in advance
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

No full textAppropriate 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
Leaf Traits and Insect Herbivory of Six Native Hardwood Species in Taiwan
No full text本研究自2009年4月24日至11月28日在台大實驗林溪頭苗圃進行，針對6種台灣原生闊葉樹種(紅楠、青剛櫟、烏心石、櫸木、楓香及無患子)3到4年生之苗木進行施肥及遮蔭處理，以破壞性取樣及連續性調查了解不同演替階段樹種間葉面積損失率(量化昆蟲植食程度)及葉部特性的反應，探討葉面積損失率及葉部特性間的關係。
葉面積損失率在樹種間有顯著差異，可依樹種的演替階段作區隔。演替初期樹種(櫸木、楓香、無患子)的葉面積損失率較高，演替晚期樹種(紅楠、青剛櫟、烏心石)較低，且演替初期樹種之葉片硬度較低、葉部氮濃度較高，而葉部總酚類濃度的變異較大，在演替階段間沒有明顯的趨勢。施肥處理會顯著提高葉片之氮濃度並降低總酚類濃度及比葉重，但對葉面積損失率沒有顯著影響。遮蔭處理下，葉部氮濃度較高，總酚類濃度、比葉重較低，而第2採樣階段的葉面積損失率顯著降低。
破壞性取樣中，僅在第1採樣階段葉面積損失率與葉部氮濃度有顯著正相關，與總酚類濃度、比葉重及葉片硬度有顯著負相關；連續性調查的最大葉面積損失率與葉部氮濃度有顯著正相關，與總酚類濃度沒有顯著相關性，與比葉重及葉片硬度有顯著負相關。葉部氮濃度與總酚類濃度呈負相關，比葉重與葉部氮濃度有負相關，與總酚類濃度在第1採樣階段有正相關。
總結而言，演替前期的物種因葉片硬度低且葉部氮濃度高，受植食損失的情況較嚴重，施肥與遮蔭處理會影響葉部特性，未來可考慮差異較大的施肥與遮蔭處理進行試驗或延長調查時間，以期更確定植食程度與葉片特性之間的關係。From April to November, 2009, we investigated the leaf area loss (LAL, to quantify insect herbivory) and leaf traits in the seedlings of 6 native hardwood species, Machilus thunbergii, Cyclobalanopsis glauca, Michelia compressa var. formosana, Zelkova serrata, Liquidambar formosana and Sapindus mukorossii in Chitou nursery of the Experimental Forest, National Taiwan University. Fertilization and shading were applied to examine the effects of light regime and nutrient supply on these 6 species of different successional stages.
Compared to the late-successional species (Mac. thunbergii, C. glauca, Mic. compressa var. formosana), the early-successional species (Z. serrata, L. formosana and S. mukorossii) were higher in LAL and leaf N and lower in leaf toughness. Leaf total phenols were also significantly different between species, but the difference was not consistent with successional stages. Fertilization had no significant effect on LAL, but resulted in higher leaf N, lower leaf total phenols, and lower leaf mass per area (LMA). Shading lowered LAL in the 2nd sampling, leaf total phenols, LMA, and toughness, but increased leaf N.
There was significantly positive correlation between LAL and leaf N, and negative correlations between LAL and total phenols, LMA, and leaf toughness in the 1st sampling. In the continuous monitoring, the maximum of leaf area loss was in significantly positive correlation with leaf N, and in negative correlation with LMA and leaf toughness. There was negative correlation between leaf N and total phenols, positive correlation between LMA and leaf N, and positive correlation between LMA and total phenols in the 1st sampling stage.
In conclusion, fertilization and shading treatments would affect leaf traits. The early-successional species with lower leaf toughness and higher N suffered higher loss of herbivory. The effects of fertilization and shading on herbivory were not conclusive in this relatively short-term study
