Fundamental theorem of immersions and minimal surfaces in product spaces
No full textNeste trabalho demonstramos o Teorema Fundamental das Imersões para S^m x R e H^m x R, dando condições necessárias e suficientes para que uma variedade Riemanniana simplesmente conexa seja isometricamente imersa nestes ambientes. Para isto, utilizamos referenciais móveis e distribuições integráveis. Como aplicação do Teorema Fundamental, provamos a existência de uma família a um parâmetro de deformações isométricas mínimas de uma dada superfície mínima em S² x R e H² x R, chamada de família associada. Além disso, relacionamos o problema de encontrar uma imersão isométrica mínima para uma dada superfície Riemanniana simplesmente conexa nestes espaços a um sistema de duas equações diferenciais parciais. Construímos exemplos de superfícies conjugadas em ambos os ambientes e de superfícies admitindo duas imersões mínimas isométricas não associadas em H² x R.In this work we give a proof of the Fundamental Theorem of Immersions for S^m x R and H^m x R, providing necessary and sufficient conditions for a simply connected Riemannian manifold to be isometrically immersed on this ambient spaces. In order to do this, we use moving frames and integrable distributions. As an application of the Fundamental Theorem, we proof the existence of a one parameter family of minimal isometric deformations of a given minimal surface in S² x R and H² x R, which is called the associated family. Furthermore, we relate the problem of finding an minimal isometric immersion for a given simply connected Riemannian surface in this spaces to a system of two partial differential equations. Also, we construct examples of conjugated surfaces in both ambient spaces and surfaces admitting two non associated minimal isometric immersions in H² x R
Characterizations of marginally trapped submanifolds in space-forms
No full textNeste trabalho, estudamos as subvariedades das formas espaciais pseudo-Riemannianas M^n_v(c) com vetor curvatura média de tipo luz, chamadas marginalmente aprisionadas, explorando as relações desta condição (motivada pela Física) com várias outras hipóteses de caráter geométrico, como lambda-isotropia, presença de nulidade relativa e invariância por um certo grupo de transformações de Lorentz. Em particular, apresentamos vários resultados de classificação e rigidez de superfícies marginalmente aprisionadas nos espaços de Lorentz-Minkowski L^4, de Sitter S^4_1 e anti-de Sitter H^4_1 nestes contextos, adaptando e generalizando resultados de alguns artigos.In this work, we study the submanifolds of pseudo-Riemannian space forms M^n_v(c) with lightlike mean curvature vector, called marginally trapped, exploring the relations of this condition (motivated by Physics) with several other assumptions of geometric character, such as \\lambda-isotropy, presence of relative nullity and invariance by a certain group of Lorentz transformations. In particular, we prove several ridigity and classification results for marginally trapped surfaces in Lorentz-Minkowski space L^4, de Sitter space S^4_1 and anti-de Sitter space H^4_1 in these settings, adapting and generalizing results from several papers
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
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
