    MeSH term explosion and author rank improve expert recommendations

    Information overload is an often-cited phenomenon that reduces the productivity, efficiency and efficacy of scientists. One challenge for scientists is to find appropriate collaborators in their research. The literature describes various solutions to the problem of expertise location, but most current approaches do not appear to be very suitable for expert recommendations in biomedical research. In this study, we present the development and initial evaluation of a vector space model-based algorithm to calculate researcher similarity using four inputs: 1) MeSH terms of publications; 2) MeSH terms and author rank; 3) exploded MeSH terms; and 4) exploded MeSH terms and author rank. We developed and evaluated the algorithm using a data set of 17,525 authors and their 22,542 papers. On average, our algorithms correctly predicted 2.5 of the top 5/10 coauthors of individual scientists. Exploded MeSH and author rank outperformed all other algorithms in accuracy, followed closely by MeSH and author rank. Our results show that the accuracy of MeSH term-based matching can be enhanced with other metadata such as author rank

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    No full text
    The 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

    D-SEED I.

    No full text
    It is an audiovisual film that presents a musical compilation of five artists accompanied by sculptural objects and is one of the other outputs of the ntity.one.Default platform. The ntity.one.Default platform has been a collectively curated platform connecting the independent electronic scene and visual art for two years. The audio-visual D-SEED I focuses on materiality, especially fabric, in sculptural objects. The haptic and tactile perception of art is the axis of interest in the artistic activity of the authors of these sculptural objects. Their creations outline a surreal world that is partly influenced by the reflection of the climate crisis we are facing. Michaela Rožnovská sculptural objects, in collaboration with Martin Dominik Kratochvíl, make imaginations of new animals on earth visible, based on abstracted shapes of plants or the simplest organisms living on this planet. They present themselves as heirs of our culture, mythology and religion. The sound side of the whole audiovisual film is created from a compilation of five performers - RLUNG, Thistle, Natálie Pleváková, sees_pod, timmi. The resulting sound mix is the work of the author sees_pod (Martin Dominik Kratochvíl). The whole compilation is composed of ambient surfaces, field recordings and processing. The whole is then built as a collage of constantly changing situations and emotions. At the moment when it may seem to the viewer that something identifiable emerges from the changing mixture, the composition turns into something else

    "Closing the R&D Gap, Evaluating the Sources of R&D Spending"

    No full text
    Both spending and tax policies have been implemented in the United States with the goal of stimulating private sector research and development (R&D). Karier questions whether current R&D policy, especially the research and experimentation tax credit, can contribute to closing the gap between nondefense expenditures on R&D in the United States and such expenditures in other countries, such as Japan and Germany. He also explores possible changes to our current R&D policy to make it more effective.

    SEBARAN BULU BABI (ECHINOIDEA) DI KAWASAN PADANG LAMUN PANTAI MERTA SEGARA, SANUR-BALI

    Tujuan penelitian adalah untuk melihat sebaran hewan bulu babi di kawasan padang lamun Pantai Merta Segara, Sanur. Penelitian ini telah dilakukan sebanyak tiga kali ulangan pada saat keadaan surut dari bulanOktober 2012 sampai Februari 2013 di Pantai Merta Segara, Sanur. Penelitian ini menggunakan 4 transek sejajar garis pantai dengan panjang 50 meter, dengan 15 kuadrat berukuran 10x2,5m pada masing-masing transek. Jarak antar transek adalah interval 20 meter. Hasil pengamatan diperoleh 9 spesies (5 famili), yaitu Diadema savignyi, Diadema setosum, Diadema palmeri, Echinothrix calamaris, Echinometra mathei, Echinocardium sp., Mespilia globulus, Tripneustues gratilla dan   Toxopneustes sp.Indeks keragaman yang sedang (H’= 2,43) menunjukanpola penyebaran yang merata (E = 0,76) dan tingkat dominansi yang rendah (D = 0,25). Aktifitas penambatan kapal dan aktivitas wisatawan diduga berdampak netatif terhadap keberadaan lamun yang secara tidak langsung mengancam keberadaan bulu babi. Selain itu, ditemukan adanya keterkaitan antara jumlah spesies bulu babi dengan tipe substrat pasir halus sebagai habitatnya
