    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

    “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

    We 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

    We 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

    We 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

In order to decrease off-specification products and increase process efficiency, the prediction is required to be more accurate and rapid. Therefore, there has been a great effort to build an accurate and fast soft sensor for industrial chemical processes using first principles or machine learning regression methods. However, there exist several challenges which make it much more difficult to accurately predict qualities in industrial chemical processes. First, a prediction model needs to be able to deal with the high nonlinearity of process dynamics resulting from complex interactions between chemical species, chemical reactions, energy and mass transportations, and phase transitions. Additionally, the high nonlinearity makes the construction and interpretation of a soft sensor model significantly more difficult. Second, industrial chemical processes exhibit time-varying process dynamics. Many chemical processes are operated alternately in multiple modes to satisfy fluctuating market demands. However, unsteady state operations including grade transition and startup result large settling time and overshoot. In most batch processes, furthermore, the dominant reaction taking place in the reactor is constantly changing as the reaction progresses and the concentrations of chemical species change. In addition, industrial chemical processes are subject to process drifts such as catalyst deactivation and fouling. The process drifts may lead to the model-plant mismatch and large discrepancy between the predictions from the trained soft sensor model and actual quality measurement. Therefore, in order to obtain more accurate and robust predictions, the aforementioned problems must be dealt with during modeling procedure. In this regard, this thesis proposes novel soft sensor development methods with improved accuracy and robustness by addressing modeling problems in industrial chemical processes. First, a hybrid soft sensor modeling framework for online quality prediction of polymer products from industrial polymerization process is proposed. When compared to conventional first principles models and data-only machine learning models, the proposed hybrid model provides more accurate prediction by combining prior process knowledge including reaction mechanisms and data-driven regression methods such as neural networks. Additionally, the generalizability of a machine learning prediction model is improved by applying the proposed hybrid modeling approach. The hybrid model has more robust prediction performance when the process undergoes grade changeover and unsteady state operation, compared to data-only machine learning models. Second, a time series-based just-in-time learning soft sensor modeling method combined with dynamic time warping is proposed. The process data obtained from a multi-grade or time-varying process shows multimodal distribution, which is difficult for a single global model to learn. Rather than training a global model with the full training dataset, a just-in-time learning model makes prediction based on a local model trained only with selected training samples which are similar to the query sample, allowing a soft sensor to adapt to process changes. Additionally, the proposed model takes a time series as an input rather than a data point at a certain time in order to account for dynamic behavior of a process. The prediction performance of a just-in-time learning model is strongly affected by how to select similar samples among large database. The proposed modeling method utilizes dynamic time warping method in calculation of similarities between the query and stored data samples. Dynamic time warping is one of the most widely used synchronization methods for data sequences. Additionally, the similarity between two distinct data sequences can be calculated with dynamic time warping by stretching the sequences. The proposed modeling approach achieves two main contributions by combining just-in-time learning and dynamic time warping in soft sensor development for multi-grade and time-varying chemical processes. First, complex process dynamics is accounted in the proposed model by taking time series process data as an input. Second, more accurate selection of similar data sequences from the database is achieved by applying dynamic time warping in similarity calculation. The improvements in the prediction performance achieved by the proposed modeling approach are demonstrated using case studies of multi-grade processes. In addition, the effects of the model hyperparameters on the prediction performance are thoroughly investigated via simulation studies. As a result of the sensitivity analysis, the optimal input length is determined by the cross-correlation between the input and output variables. Furthermore, prediction accuracy and computational speed can be improved by applying the width constraint on the dynamic warping path. Therefore, this thesis provides hyperparameter-optimized just-in-time learning modeling approach combined with dynamic time warping by introducing width constraint on the warping path and calculating cross-correlations between the input and output. In summary, this thesis proposes novel soft sensor development methods with improved prediction accuracy and generalizability for industrial chemical processes which are highly nonlinear and exhibit multi-grade or time-varying process dynamics. The proposed modeling approaches demonstrate improved modeling performance compared to conventional modeling methods when applied to simulation data and actual polymerization process data.Chapter 1.

    Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902

    No full text
    In Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
