Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe 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
Special Issue: Depiction
No full textThe debate on the nature of depiction is one of the most lively and persistent in analytic aesthetics. This special issue of Esthetica serves as an introduction to this flourishing subdomain of the philosophy of art (see especially the overview article by Maes), but it also aims to make a significant contribution to that debate with original papers exploring Wollheim’s standard of correctness (Newall), Wittgenstein’s notion of aspect perception (Friday), the relation between medium specificity and artistic value (Veldeman), a new critique of resemblance theories (Derksen & Meijsing), and the depiction of ‘moral spaces’ (van Gerwen)
Pornographic Art and the Aesthetics of Pornography
No full textArt or Porn? The popular media will often choose this heading when reviewing the latest sexually explicit novel, film, or art exhibition. The underlying assumption seems to be that the work under discussion has to be one or the other, and cannot be both. But is this not a false dilemma? Can one really draw a sharp line between the pornographic and the artistic? Isn't it time to make room for pornographic art and for an aesthetic investigation of pornography? In answering these questions this book will draw on insights from many different disciplines, including philosophy, feminist theory, aesthetics, art history, film studies, theatre studies, as well as on the experience of people who are actually operating in the art world and porn industry. By offering a variety of theoretical approaches and examples taken from a wide range of art forms and historical periods, the reader will gain a fuller and deeper comprehension of the relations and frictions between art and pornography
Corrole basicity in the excited states: Insights on structure-property relationships
No full textSteady-state fluorescence measurements and quantum-chemical DFT geometry optimizations are applied to extend the structure-property relationships between the free-base corrole macrocycle conformation and its basicity to the lowest excited S-1 and T-1 states. Direct basicity estimation in the lowest excited S-1 state is demonstrated by means of fluorescence quantum yield measurements. The long wavelength T1 tautomer is found to retain its basicity in the S(1 )state, whereas the short wavelength T2 tautomer shows a noticeable decrease in basicity in the S-1 state, which is related to the in-plane tilting of the pyrrole ring to be protonated. The conformational changes upon going from the ground to the lowest excited T-1 state and the influence of the meso-aryl substitution pattern on the overall degree of distortions and tilting of the pyrrole ring to be protonated are also discussed from the point of view of macrocycle basicity.Prof. W.

Before Sunrise, Before Sunset, Before Midnight: A Philosophical Exploration
No full textRichard Linklater’s celebrated Before trilogy chronicles the love of Jesse (Ethan Hawke) and Céline (Julie Delpy) who first meet up in Before Sunrise, later reconnect in Before Sunset and finally experience a fall-out in Before Midnight. Not only do these films present storylines and dilemmas that invite philosophical discussion, but philosophical discussion itself is at the very heart of the trilogy.
This book, containing specially commissioned chapters by a roster of international contributors, explores the many philosophical themes that feature so vividly in the interactions between Céline and Jesse, including: the nature of love, romanticism and marriage; the passage and experience of time; the meaning of life; the art of conversation; the narrative self; gender; death.
Including an interview with Julie Delpy in which she discusses her involvement in the films and the importance of studying philosophy, Before Sunrise. Before Sunset. Before Midnight: A Philosophical Exploration is essential reading for anyone interested in philosophy, aesthetics, gender studies, and film studies
Tommaso Padoa-Schioppa and the origins of the euro. NBB Working Paper No. 222, March 2012
No full textTommaso Padoa-Schioppa was one of the great architects of the euro. He is remembered in particular as co-rapporteur for the Delors Committee and as a founding member of the European Central Bank's Executive Board. For Padoa-Schioppa, becoming Director-General of the European
Commission's DG II (from 1979 to 1983), was a defining moment in his career and life. This period is the main focus of this paper. At the Commission, Padoa-Schioppa's main priority was the European Monetary System, which was launched in March 1979. He was closely involved in
several projects to strengthen the EMS, to improve economic policy convergence and the position of the ECU. The other main objective for Padoa-Schioppa was the strengthening of DG II's analytical capacity, especially its model-building capacity and its links with the academic world. As
such, he played a crucial role in the professionalisation of economics at the Commission and in preparing DG II for the important role it would play in the EMU process. At the Commission, Padoa-Schioppa became also immersed in several European netorks. Of crucial importance here were his contacts with Jacques Delors. This would be of major importance for his further career, becoming one of the architects of the single currency

No full textAdelpherupa elongalis sp.n. (gures 1g, 2d, 3f, 4h) Diagnosis. Fore wings elongate, narrow. Ground colour dark brown or reddish brown, wing markings clearly developed in most specimens. Male genitalia with valva narrowing near the apex, distal part aedeagus narrower than proximal part; tympanal organs with rami tympani curved, medially fused. Description. Fore wings elongate and narrow; ground colour dark brown or reddish brown, wing marking well developed in most specimens. Interneural spots weakly marked on fore wing and part of hind wing. Externally this species closely resembles A. pontica but is usually smaller in size and has more elongated wings with a more rounded apex in the forewing. Male genitalia. Uncus relatively long, gnathos membranous, medially widened and covered with minute spines; valva narrowing towards the rounded apex; aedeagus with minute spines on vesica and a plate-shaped cornutus; distal part of aedeagus more slender than apical part. Female genitalia. Papillae anales weakly sclerotized; apophyses anteriores and apophyses posteriores long, of about equal length; ostium bursae membranous, funnel-shaped; proximal part of ductus bursae (before ductus seminalis) more sclerotized than distal part which is widened, short, and ends in the membranous corpus bursae. Tympanal organs. Closely resembling A. avescens Hampson but the venulae secundae are relatively longer and the zona glabra tympani is usually better delimited. Wing span. 22–25 mm. Distribution.
