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
(A) Study on the Achievement of Asaf Messerer
No full textAsaf Messerer, artist, ballet master, teacher and choreographer, whose name already been known for a long time among Russians as well as among admirers of the world. The outstanding natural gifts-originality, magnificient dancing technique and persistence in achieving mastership-were a rich foundation for the development of Messerer's talent.
He became an artist under the guidance of two remarkable teachers, Alexander Gorsky and Vasily Tikhomirov. He examined life with determination and absorbed the creative achievements of the older generation of ballet dancers and the living traditions of the Russian choreographic art.
Mastering the secrets of professional skill, he became one of the greatest representatives of the Soviet ballet, and one of the most cultivated and interesting dancer. The most characteristic features of the Soviet choreographic art received picturesque and vivid expression in his interpretation. His performing style was always distinguished by its masculinity and nobility. An excellent classical dancer, he performed equally well in character and "grotesque" roles and in plastic and acrobatic dances. His skill improved through the year, becoming more accomplished as the dancer's stage experience developed. Renovation of the language of the dance became characteristic of Messerer from the first the years of his activity. Revolting against the traditional archaic of the ballet, Messerer has persistently striven to introduce to the stage dancers who act with effective gestures and without mannerism, who give a logical and natural interpretation of the ballet and express true feelings.
Asaf Messerer, prominent classical dancer, was also master of the episodic dance. He choreographed many short pieces and solo number. Combining academic traditions with the character dance and the elements of authentic nationality made each of his numbers originals and gave an impression of being unique and distinct.
Asaf Messerer has left the stage, but he continues to teach the art of classical dance to the new generation of dancers and to improve the performing skill of artists of Bolshoi Theatre. Each lesson is proceded by strenuous preparatory work. Messerer never repeats himself in his lessons. Each time he creates a new composition for the lesson, proceeding from the general principle of the structure of six consecutive lessons a week. Each lesson has a main theme, that is a basic movement, which is developed throughly and in succession in a number of various dance combinations. His lessons stimulate the dancer's creative conscience and become an iteresting stage in the creative process, during which the artist is made a creator of a certain role, part or artistic image. Asaf Messerer composed many varied concert numbers. Among them were Ballet School, Spring Water, Melody, Etude and many other dances
Asaf Messerer has had his unique views on art and practiced it throughout his entire life. And he continues work and search relentessly. The life, work, and creativity of Asaf Messerer are permeated with great love for art and his relentless and faithful service to ballet.;綜合舞臺藝術인 발레의 발전은 탁월한 舞誦手, 創造的인 按舞家 및 과학적인 敎授法을 갖춘 훌륭한 敎師라는 세 가지 요인의 삼위일체적인 노력의 결실로서 이룩되는 것이다. 그리고 그러한 세가지 요인중 가장 중요한 것은 우수한 교사의 科學的 敎授法이라 할 수 있다. 왜냐하면 발레의 명맥을 이어가는 훌륭한 무용가나 창조적인 안무가는 타고난 재질도 지녀야 하지만 훌륭한 교사의 계획적이고도 과학적인 교수법에 의해 키워지기 때문이다.
이와 같은 관점에서 볼 때 러시아 발레의 발전에 큰 공헌을 한 예술가 Asaf Messerer는 위에서 말한 세 가지 요인을 모두 갖추었으며 특히 그의 교수법으로 인해 수많은 뛰어난 무용수들이 배출되어 그로 인해 러시아 발레는 더욱 발전되었다고 할 수 있다.
본 논문은 이와 같은 발레史上 큰 업적을 당긴 Asaf Messerer의 活動과 탁월하고 논리적인 교수법의 특질을 살펴보고자 한 것이다. 러시아 발레의 우수성을 세계에 알리는데 결정적인 공헌을 한 그는 무용수, 교사 및 안무가로서의 1인 3역을 훌륭하게 해냄으로써 볼쇼이 발레단의 성장에 크게 기여하였다. 그는 도약과 회전에 능한 활력 있는 무용수였으며 자신의 오랜 무대체험을 바탕으로 하여 논리적이고 독창적인 교수법을 정립하여, 발레계를 빛낸 많은 무용수-Maya Plisetskaya, Vladimir Vasiliev, Yekaterina Maximova 등을 길러내었다. 또한 그가 안무한 "Ballet School" "Spring Water"등은 새로운 기법과 생동감 있는 무대연출로 인하여 볼쇼이 style의 대표작으로 손꼽히고 있다.
따라서 본 연구는 Asaf Messerer가 소련 및 세계 발레계에 끼친 영향을 고찰해 보기 위하여 우선 그가 활동한 시대적 배경과 1917년 러시아혁명으로 인한 발레의 변화를 살펴 보았다. 그리고 뛰어난 기량, 남성다움, 생동감을 지닌 그의 무용스타일은 소련남성 무용의 전형이 되었고, 과거의 훌륭한 교수들의 교수법 위에 자신만의 독특한 체계를 지닌 교수법을 더하여 보다 활력이 있고 표현력이 풍부한 무용수들을 배출해낸 동시에 안무가로서도 활약한 Messerer의 업적을 살펴 본 결과 그는 볼쇼이 발레단의 기량을 세계적인 수준으로 끌어올리는데 큰 기여를 하였을 뿐만 아니라 소련발레의 우수성을 세계에 널리 알린 인물로 평가된다고 하겠다.論文槪要 = ⅵ

Dynamic ligand binding of dualsteric (allosteric/orthosteric) molecular probes controls the graded activation of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors
No full textWe investigated a class of bitopic (dualsteric) ligands of the M2 acetylcholine muscarinic receptor (M2AChR), i.e. compounds whose pharmacophoric groups are able to target the orthosteric as well as the allosteric binding site of the receptor.1,2 These model derivatives are composed of an allosteric fragment, an intermediate linker and an orthosteric moiety. As an example, ligands 1 and 2 incorporate the molecular portion of the allosteric compound Naphmethonium and the potent muscarinic agonist Iperoxo, which are connected by a flexible or a rigidified spacer group, respectively (Figure 1). These bipharmacophoric molecular probes were found to switch between two different binding orientations, resulting in both active and inactive populations of receptors bound by a given ligand, a behavior that has been termed dynamic ligand binding.3
Figure 1
In this study, pharmacological data analysis and computational simulations based on active and inactive M2AChR crystal structures led to identify two distinct binding topographies in a group of dualsteric partial agonists. One binding mode, which resembled that of the co-crystallized orthosteric ligand Iperoxo, engendered an agonist response. Conversely, dualsteric ligands binding to the allosteric site only showed a receptor-complex comparable to that of allosteric modulators. Thus, the observed agonist efficacies depended on the fraction of dualsteric (i.e. active) vs. purely allosteric (i.e. inactive) binding modes.4

Pragmatic Case Studies as a Source of Unity in Applied Psychology
No full textTo unify or not to unify applied psychology: that is the question. In this article we review pendulum swings in the historical efforts to answer this question—from a comprehensive, positivist, “top-down,” deductive yes between the 1930s and the early 60s, to a postmodern no since then. A rationale and proposal for a limited, “bottom-up,” inductive yes in applied psychology is then presented, employing a case-based paradigm that integrates both positivist and postmodern themes and components. This paradigm is labeled “pragmatic psychology” and, its specific use of case studies, the “Pragmatic Case Study Method” (“PCS Method”). We call for the creation of peer-reviewed journal-databases of pragmatic case studies as a foundational source of unifying applied knowledge in our discipline. As one example, the potential of the PCS Method for unifying different angles of theoretical regard is illustrated in an area of applied psychology, psychotherapy, via the case of Mrs. B. The article then turns to the broader historical and epistemological arguments for the unifying nature of the PCS Method in both applied and basic psychology.Peer reviewe

Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe 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
Measurement of the ratio of branching fractions B(B0→K∗0γ )/B(B0s→φγ ) and the directCP asymmetry inB 0→K∗0γ
No full textThe ratio of branching fractions of the radiative B decays B0→K⁎0γ and B0s→ϕγ has been measured using an integrated luminosity of 1.0 fb−1 of pp collision data collected by the LHCb experiment at a centre-of-mass energy of s√=7TeV. The value obtained is
B(B0→K⁎0γ)B(B0s→ϕγ)=1.23±0.06(stat.)±0.04(syst.)±0.10(fs/fd),
where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second is the experimental systematic uncertainty and the third is associated with the ratio of fragmentation fractions fs/fd. Using the world average value for B(B0→K⁎0γ), the branching fraction B(B0s→ϕγ) is measured to be (3.5±0.4)×10−5.
The direct CP asymmetry in B0→K⁎0γ decays has also been measured with the same data and found to be
ACP(B0→K⁎0γ)=(0.8±1.7(stat.)±0.9(syst.))%.
Both measurements are the most precise to date and are in agreement with the previous experimental results and theoretical expectations
The construction of Karen Karnak: The multi-author-function
No full textThis thesis is situated within the comparatively recent developments of Web 2.0 and the emergence of interactive WikiMedia, and explores the mode of authorship within a Read/Write culture compared to that of a Read/Only tradition. The hypothesis of this study is that the role of the audience has become merged with the author, and as such, represents new functions and attributes, distinct from a more conventional concept of authorship, in which the roles of audience and author are more separate. Read/Write and participatory culture, as defined by this study, is focused on collaboration, and includes the influences of D.I.Y. culture, Open-Source practices and the production of text by multiple authors. Multi-authorship presents a re-thinking of several concepts which support the notion of the individual author, since the focus of multi-authorship is not on attribution and ownership of a finished text, but on the continued malleability of a text. Modes of multi-authorship, demonstrated in the use of the pseudonyms Alan Smithee and Karen Eliot, represent declarative authors whose names signify multiple origins, whilst concurrently indicating a distinct body of work. The function of these names form an important context to this study, since primary research involves the construction of an experimental mode of multi-authorship utilising WikiMedia technology and the interaction of thirty nine participants, who are invited to create a body of work under the collective pseudonym Karen Karnak. The data generated by this experiment is analysed using aspects of Michel Foucault's author-function to identify and determine power structures inherent in the WikiMedia context. The interplay of power structures, including concepts such as identity, ownership and the body of work, affect the resulting mode of authorship and contribute to the construction of Karen Karnak, suggesting further areas of research into the emerging multi-author
