SR Workshop 1 - Online workshop on climate data analysis for climate extremes for Senior Researchers
No full textThis workshop was held on April 12, 13, 15, 21. and 22. 2021 at the University of Novi Sad Faculty of Sciences, as the first in a series of EXtremeClimTwin workshops on Climate extremes to foster outcome-oriented, interactive training. The aim of this event is to improve the overall scientific and research capacity of UNSPMF and to encourage and enhance the networking of the UNSPMF research group with other research-intensive institutions to foster future long-term cooperation and sustainability.
The first day was dedicated to “Advanced Introduction to Climate Time Series Analysis and Trend Estimation”. Dr. Manfred Mudelsee introduced the advanced statistical methods of climate time series analysis: Persistence Models, Bootstrap Confidence Intervals, and Regression.
Prof Dr. Robert L. Wilby was the lecturer on the second day of the Workshop. The title of his lecture was “When is a trend not a trend? Homogeneity and stationarity checks”. Prof. Dr. Wilby discussed the key concepts of data homogeneity and introduced state-of-the-art research done at LU as well as case studies related to the subject of data quality checks.
The third day of the Workshop was reserved for an introductory lecture about climate models and climate reanalysis. Dr. Carley Iles talked about the global and regional climate models, their use in the studies of climate extremes and impact studies. The afternoon session of the third day of the Workshop was presented by Dr. Tom Matthews. The title of the practical session was “Programmatic downloading and manipulation of weather station data”.
The fourth day of the Workshop was reserved for a presentation by Dr. Jana Sillmann. The title of the morning session was ”Identification and attribution of climate extremes?; Extreme temperature indices; Extreme precipitation indices”. The afternoon, practical session was hosted by Dr. Marit Sandstad. The title of the presentation was “Downloading and working with netcdf files”
ESRs Workshop 1 - Online workshop on climate data analysis for climate extremes for Early Stage Researchers
No full textThe Online workshop on climate data analysis for climate extremes for Early stage researchers (ESRs) was held on April 12, 13, 15, 21 and 22, 2021. at the University of Novi Sad, Faculty of Science as an activity in the ExtremeClimTwin project.
This workshop was the first in a series of EXtremeClimTwin ESRs workshops on Climate extremes to foster an outcome-oriented, interactive trainings.
The first day of the Workshop was dedicated to “Hydro-climate information sources and applications” by Prof. Dr. Robert Wilby. The aim of the morning session was: to introduce the hydromet information flow, to raise awareness of the various causes and types of errors that can occur within climate and hydrological data, and to cover ways of detecting errors and biases in climate and hydrological information flows.
The title of the lecture delivered by Dr. Manfred Mudelsee during the morning session on the second day was “Basic Introduction to Climate Time Series Analysis: Lecture”. The focus of the lecture was on the basics of climate time series analysis and the application of the different methods on climate extremes. The afternoon practical session was dedicated to presenting the software and its application to climate data.
On the third day of the Workshop, Dr. Carley Iles introduced the participants to climate models and climate reanalysis. The talk was about the global and regional climate models, their use in the studies of climate extremes, and impact studies. Dr. Tom Matthews hosted the afternoon session of the third day of the ESRs Workshop. The title of the practical session was “Programmatic downloading and manipulation of weather station data”.
Dr. Jana Sillmann presented her lecture on the fourth day of the Workshop. The title of the presentation was ”Weather and climate extremes - What are extreme events? How do we identify them? Indices of extreme temperature events; Extreme precipitation”. The afternoon, practical session was hosted by Dr. Marit Sandstad who introduced the participants to the NetCDF file format, their sources, structure, manipulation and visualization. The title of the presentation was “Downloading and working with netcdf files”
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
