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
Etude et développement des flux solides en vue d'application en soudage ATIG appliqué au titane et ses alliages ainsi qu'aux aciers inoxydables
No full textGas Tungsten Arc Welding uses an electric arc between the refractory tungsten electrode and the plates to be welded under an argon shielding gas. As a result, the joint quality is excellent, no pollution nor defects are to be feared, consequently this process is used in nuclear, aeronautic, chemical and food industries.Despite of this good qualities, GTAW is limited because of, on the one side, a poor penetrating weld pool and, on the other side, a week productivity rate. Indeed, up to 3mm thick plates, machining and filler metal is needed. Multiple runs increase the defect's risks, the manufactory time and increase the deformations and the heat affected zone.The goal of this study is to break through this limits without any device investment. Active GTA welding (or ATIG) is a new technique with GTA device and an activating flux to be spread on the upper plate before welding. The arc, by plasma electrochemical equilibrium modifications, and the pool with the inner connective flows inversion, allow 7mm thick joints in one run without edges machining or filler metal for both stainless steel and titanium alloys.This manuscript describes the development of these fluxes, highlights the several phenomena and presents the possibilities of this new process.This work, in collaboration with B.S.L. industries, leads to two flux formulations (stainless steel and titanium alloys) now in a commercial phase with CASTOLIN S.A. Moreover, B.S.L.industries produces a pressure device (nitrate column) with the ATIG process using more than 2800 ATIG welds.Le procédé de soudage TIG met en jeu un arc électrique entre une électrode réfractaire de tungstène et les pièces à souder. L'électrode et la zone fondue sont protégées contre la pollution ambiante par une atmosphère neutre d'argon. Ainsi, de est un procédé de prédilection dans les secteurs aussi variés que le nucléaire, l'aéronautique, les industries chimiques et agro-alimentaires.Nonobstant ces qualités, ce procédé souffre d'un lourd handicap : sa faible productivité, particulièrement dans le cas des pièces de forte épaisseur. En effet, au-delà de 3mm d'épaisseur, il est nécessaire d'usiner les bords à souder et de faire des passes multiples avec du métal d'apport. L'accroissement du nombre de passes multiplie les risques de défauts et augmente les déformations et accroît la zone thermiquement affectée.Il parait alors intéressant de disposer d'un procédé simple permettant de s'affranchir des faibles pénétrations inhérentes aux soudures TIG.Il nous a semblé opportun de développer une technique permettant d'étendre les domaines d'utilisation du soudage TIG de 3 à 7mm d'épaisseur soudable maximale sans préparations. Cette technique appelée ATIG consiste à déposer, en endroit du joint à souder un flux activant qui va, au passage de l'arc électrique, modifier les courants de convection dans le bain de fusion, ainsi que l'équilibre électrochimique du plasma.Ce document traite du développement de ces produits, ainsi que de la mise en évidence des mécanismes d'activation opérant au cours du soudage.Ce travail, mené en collaboration avec la société B.S.L.i a conduit à la formulation de deux compositions (appliquées respectivement aux aciers inoxydables et aux alliages de titane) en phase de commercialisation par la société CASTOLIN S.A., ainsi qu'à la réalisation industrielle d'une colonne chimique avec plus de 2200 soudures ATIG orbitales
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
