Interview with Miles J. Edwards, M.D.
Full text linkMiles J. Edwards was a physician and professor. He completed his medical degree at the University of Oregon Medical School (UOMS, now Oregon Health & Science University) in 1956 and his residency at the same university in 1958. After finishing his education, Edwards briefly served in the military before returning to UOMS to join the faculty in 1964, teaching pulmonary medicine. He remained there until his retirement in 1991.
This interview largely centers on Edwards’s struggles with pancreatic cancer. Edwards discusses the experience of being a cancer patient after years of working as a doctor and how his diagnosis changed his views on medical care. He also speaks about fatigue from chemotherapy, grappling with mortality, and his opinions on medically assisted suicide. Miles J. Edwards died from cancer on March 23, 2006, less than five months after participating in this interview

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

Remote assessment of tsunami damage in Japan by means of Google Street View images
Full text linkThe devastating Great East Japan tsunami of 2011 highlighted the vulnerability of urban habitations to such major disasters and the need to improve survivability. As has become the norm after such events, field teams were sent to investigate and learn lessons to aid future design guidelines. In addition, Google Street View cars were sent around inundated areas once roads were cleared and the resulting images were displayed online allowing ready comparison with images taken before the event. This report is the output from a project which examined this remote assessment tool to determine its usefulness for engineers. It was found that much of what is observable in the field is also visible in the online archive. Performance of structures of different types can be assessed both quantitatively, as a function of distance from the shoreline, and also qualitatively for beneficial features such as open ground floors. Advantageous features of urban design such as sheltering by trees and other buildings, and siting of structures to serve as vertical evacuation centres could, also be assessed.Overall, although the online images cannot completely replace a field survey, they have the potential to exploit untapped resource in researchers around the world collaborating with local engineers to learn lessons and improve tsunami resistance of vulnerable coastal communities
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
