Haven at Fort Martin Scott
Full text linkHaven is a proposal for a retreat center located at the site of Fort Martin Scott in Fredericksburg, Texas. There are historical places of refuge all over the world, and one can understand the obvious need for more physical refuges historically as threats posed in the past often had a more physical nature (wars, physical ailments, etc.) than they do today. As time has passed, technology, advancements in medicine, and cultural changes, amongst other things, have brought about a shift in how our society seeks and views refuge. As our society changes, so does the type of refuge it needs. With mental health struggles on the rise, technology limiting the physical separation of work and home, and other modern challenges, the need for mental refuge and respite is rising. While many physical facilities are being implemented across the country that provide care for specific groups of people, the goal of this project is to create an environment that provides a refuge for all people, even if only temporary, for their mind and spirit. Haven is built on the belief that the need for retreat is a universal need that is shared in different ways by all people. Historically, Fort Martin Scott provided a temporary physical refuge for countless groups of people as they sought security and community in different ways. Haven aims to provide a deeper connection to history by allowing its visitors to retreat and experience security in the same place

SimVP Global SSH Maps 2019
No full textHigh-resolution global maps of sea surface height, surface geostrophic currents, relative vorticity, and strain rate created using deep learning neural network, SimVP, from satellite altimeter and sea surface temperature observations. Maps are provided for the year 2019 (which was never seen during training) and were created using all altimeters apart from Saral/Altika to allow independent evaluation of the mapped SSH. For more details, see our paper (https://doi.org/10.31223/X5W676). A longer time-series of these maps is under development and we plan to distribute these through NASA PO.DAAC in the future
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
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
