Also By The Same Author: AKTiveAuthor, a Citation Graph Approach to Name Disambiguation
No full textThe desire for definitive data and the semantic web drive for inference over heterogeneous data sources requires co-reference resolution to be performed on those data. In particular, name disambiguation is required to allow accurate publication lists, citation counts and impact measures to be determined. This paper describes a graph-based approach to author disambiguation on large-scale citation networks. Using self-citation, co-authorship and document source analyses, AKTiveAuthor clusters papers, achieving precision of 0.997 and recall of 0.818 over a test group of eight surname clusters
Managing the Mackenzie: Negotiating a Future with the Basin in Mind
No full textJ. Owen Saunders, the former Executive Director of the Institute wishes to thank the Walter and Duncan Gordon Foundation for its support of the research for this article.Negotiations on the future of the Mackenzie Basin are currently proceeding primarily through a series of separate bilateral negotiations amongst the various Basin jurisdictions. These negotiations represent a chance to finally give the Basin a governance regime that will protect it for succeeding generations. They also represent an opportunity for all Basin governments to think in fresh ways about how to incorporate the best of modern watershed management approaches into interjurisdictional decision-making. A successful outcome will be to the benefit not just to the people of the Basin, but to all Canadians.Walter and Duncan Gordon FoundationN

Semiometrics: producing a compositional view of influence
No full textHigh-impact academic papers are not necessarily the most cited. For example, Einstein's 'Special Relativity' paper from 1905 received (and continues to receive) fewer citations from other papers than his 'Brownian Motion" paper of the same year, despite the former radically changing the course of an entire scientific discipline to a much greater extent. Similarly, 'impact' metrics using citation count alone are, it is argued, not adequate for determining the scientific influence of papers, authors or small groups of authors. Although valid, they remain controversial when used to determine influence of larger groups or journals. While the term 'impact' has become closely linked to a journal's citation-based Journal Impact Factor score, this thesis uses the term 'influence' to describe the wider effectiveness of research, combining citation and metadata analysis to allow richer calculations to be performed over large-scale document networks. As a result, more qualitative influence ratings can be determined and a broader outlook on scientific disciplines can be produced. These ratings are best applied using an ontology-based data source, allowing more efficient inference than under a traditional RDBMS system, and allowing easier integration between heterogeneous data sources. These metrics, termed 'Semantic Bibliometrics' or 'Semiometrics', can be applied at a variety of levels of granularity, allowing a compositional framework for impact and influence analysis. This thesis describes the process of data preparation, systems architecture, metric value and data integration for such a system, introducing novel approaches at all four stages, thereby creating a working semiometrics system for determining influence at different semantic levels of granularity
Extramedullary plasmacytoma in a horse with ptyalism and dysphagia
No full textA Clydesdale mare was examined for weight loss, inappetence, ptyalism, and dysphagia. The main abnormality revealed by serum biochemistry was a marked hyperglobulinemia, and protein electrophoresis revealed a monoclonal gammopathy in the gamma region. The urine was positive for Bence Jones proteins. These findings suggested a plasma cell tumor. The neoplasm could not be located with extensive antemortem examination. At postmortem, neoplastic cells morphologically compatible with plasma cells and positive for equine IgG with imunoperoxidase staining infiltrated the pericardium, mediastinal stromal tissues, adrenal glands, meninges, atrioventricular valves, aorta, abdominal and thoracic fat, and nerves, including the trigeminal nerve. The neoplastic cells invading the cranial nerves were responsible for many of the presenting signs.PT: J; CR: BARLOGIE B, 1995, WILLIAMS HEMATOLOGY, P1109 BAUER JD, 1974, CLIN LAB METHODS, P15 BRAUND KG, 1978, J AM VET MED ASSOC, V172, P1407 BRAUND KG, 1979, J AM VET MED ASSOC, V174, P1321 CALNEK BW, 1991, DIS POULTRY, P342 DIMOPOULOS MA, 1994, BLOOD, V83, P1452 DREW RA, 1974, EQUINE VET J, V3, P131 DUNCAN JR, 1994, VET LAB MED CLIN PAT, P112 DUNCAN JR, 1994, VET LAB MED CLIN PAT, P63 EDWARDS DF, 1993, J VET INTERN MED, V7, P169 HENRY M, 1994, J AM VET MED ASSOC, V194, P392 JACKSON MW, 1994, J AM VET MED ASSOC, V204, P404 KENT JE, 1990, EQUINE VET J, V22, P373 MANDEL NS, 1994, J AM ANIM HOSP ASSOC, V30, P603 TRAUBDARGATZ J, 1985, EQUINE VET J, V17, P373; NR: 15; TC: 9; J9: J VET DIAGN INVEST; PG: 3; GA: 312MPSource type: Electronic(1
CONJOINT ANALYSIS OF DEER HUNTING
No full textThis paper develops a logit-based conjoint analysis of willingness to pay for individual attributes of deer-hunting trips. Since deer-hunting success is uncertain, willingness to pay for enhanced likelihood of bagging a deer, rather than for certain success, is evaluated. Implicit costs of recreational travel time are also evaluated from hypothetical trade-offs between travel time and trip expenditures. The valuation of travel time derived here appears to reflect more the opportunity cost of foregone hunting than the opportunity cost of foregone work. This implies that travel-cost analyses of recreational demand, which impute costs of recreational travel solely from wage data, can yield biased valuations of recreational amenities.Resource /Energy Economics and Policy,
From the Land of Genesis
No full textThe narrative of the Combat veteran from the Iraq and Afghanistan wars over the past decade has been largely obscured. This is in part due to lack of media attention and partly to a nation-wide numbness to the prolonged conflict, but also due to a lack of creative publication. Plenty of reporters have published journalistic accounts of events or experiences, and several veterans themselves have published first-hand memoirs of their tours—but there is still no literary publication to represent the conflict for the general public. Through the hundreds of sources we have gathered (from scholarly studies and news articles to journals and blog posts), as well as our interviews with combat veterans, I have developed a series of short stories that represent the experiences and themes of the soldiers who have fought for our nation in its most recent wars. These stories, while independent, depict a large scope of the combat and experiences through an interconnected web of scenes and characters in the structure of a short story cycle (similar to Dubliners by James Joyce, or In Our Time by Ernest Hemingway). They also aim to contribute to the evolving style of war narratives following Tim O’Brien and Anthony Swafford. Through this project, I hope to reach the general public in an attempt to spread awareness of the experiences of our soldiers over seas—to tell their stories in a style and medium that will encourage people to listen
