Stability of rock on slopes under wave attack: Comparison and analysis of datasets Van der Meer [1988] and Van Gent [2003]
Full text linkIn VAN GENT [2004] graphs were presented in which the datasets of VAN DER MEER [1988] and VAN GENT ET AL. [2003] were compared, but in this comparison a number of parameters were not correctly transformed into a comparable format. In this M.Sc. thesis after an extensive analysis to the datasets all parameters of the datasets of Van der Meer were transformed into the same format as the parameters used by Van Gent. In the same way the dataset of THOMPSON & SHUTTLER [1975], which formed the basis of the work of Van der Meer, was treated. The inclusion of correction factors for the effects of stone roundness from LATHAM ET AL. [1988] gave remarkable effects on a certain part of the dataset of Van der Meer which showed more damage than average. After this still differences could be seen between the datasets of Van der Meer and Van Gent. Using the statistical T-test these differences are approved. Explanations for the differences found between the datasets of Van der Meer and Van Gent can be found in the fact that most of the tests of Van Gent. were done with shallow foreshores where Van der Meer did most tests with deep water conditions. Tests by a number of M.Sc. students at Delft University of Technology showed that tests with identical spectra, but with different foreshore slope angles show different damage patterns. In the dataset of Van Gent also the 1:30 foreshore slopes on average show more damage than the 1:100 slopes. In further research the influence of the foreshore should be incorporated in the stability formulae by a foreshore Iribarren parameter. Also a detailed investigation to the effects of wave breaking on shallow foreshores is needed. For this the complete dataset of Van Gent needs to be available and accessible.Hydraulic EngineeringCivil Engineering and Geoscience
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
The Martyrs of North Africa During the Persecution of Valerian: Text, Translation, and Commentary on the Acts of St. Cyprian, SS. Montanus and Lucius, and SS. Marian and James
No full textThe composition of this thesis was guided by a threefold purpose: Firstly, to translate and edit the three texts, secondly, to establish their authenticity as far as this can be done, and thirdly, to study any possible connections between the three acts. | Regarding the translations, I tried to abide by the rule to be as literal as possible and as free as necessary. In order to preserve the originality of the acts, it was necessary to be rather literal. This fact accounts for some awkward sentence structures and the retention of the Latin paragraphing. On the other hand, a free translation was called for in obscure places, especially in the passions of Montanus and Lucius and Marian and James, and where a literal translation would have latinized the English too much. | In editing these texts, I refrained almost altogether from giving my personal opinion but instead quoted or paraphrased the opinions, comments, and criticisms of scholars in the field. | To establish the authenticity of these acts is a rather difficult task, first of all, because of their age; secondly, because of lack of information to what extent Diocletian was able to destroy the Christian books; thirdly, because of the absence of almost all non-Christian sources for the persecution; and fourthly, because of the purpose of these acts and passions. They were not intended to be historical pieces of biography but rather stories to be read to the faithful for the sake of edification. Thus we have to rely for the proof of their historicity almost entirely on internal evidence. | Internal evidence is also the only source for the study of any possible connections between the three acts. Since these writings were not intended to preserve historical data but rather to furnish future generations with examples of great Christian heroism, few or no dates are given and little concern is shown for chronology.ProQuest Traditional Publishing Optio
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

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
