Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
Experimental and numerical study of condensation phenomena in a partially submerged vertical pipe
No full textCette thèse est dédiée à l'étude expérimentale et numérique des phénomènes de condensation dans un pressuriseur de chaufferie nucléaire embarquée conçu par l'entreprise DCNS. Au sein du système est observé un écoulement diphasique avec changement d'état, descendant dans un tube vertical partiellement immergé dans du liquide. Le liquide sous-refroidi s'écoule dans le tube sous l'effet de la gravité en entrainant de la vapeur saturée qui se condense à son contact. Dans un premier temps, l'étude des phénomènes de condensation est réalisée sur un banc expérimental dont la conception, le dimensionnement, la réalisation et l'exploitation ont été effectués au cours de cette thèse. Le dispositif est une version simplifiée à l'échelle 1 du système réel. Cette étude expérimentale a permis d'identifier les régimes d'écoulements diphasiques présents dans le système et d'analyser l'impact de trois paramètres : le débit de liquide injecté, le sous-refroidissement de ce liquide à l'entrée du tube et la pression en sortie de tube. Par ailleurs, l'étude propose un modèle déterminant les conditions pour laquelle le tube d'essais est complètement noyé, ce qui minimise les phénomènes de condensation. Dans un second temps, une simulation numérique de l'écoulement diphasique est réalisée par CFD sur ANSYS Fluent à l'aide du modèle " Volume Of Fluid ". La prise en compte de la condensation de la vapeur au contact du liquide sous-refroidi a nécessité le développement, grâce aux fonctions utilisateur du logiciel, d'un modèle spécifique s'appuyant sur un modèle de la littérature. Les résultats obtenus ont permis de reproduire qualitativement le déversement du liquide observé expérimentalement en entrée de tube ainsi que la condensation de la phase vapeur au contact de la phase liquide.This thesis focuses on condensation phenomena occurring in a patented system designed by DCNS Company. The system ensures pressure regulation of nuclear boiler rooms embarked in naval vessels. Within the system occurs a downward liquid/vapor flow with phase change in a partially submerged vertical pipe. Subcooled liquid flows into the pipe and induce a suction of saturated vapor which condense in contact with liquid phase. This study aim to understand the physical phenomena occurring in the system and to simulate these phenomena. First, the condensation phenomena are studied with a test loop which conception, dimensioning, realization and exploitation were realized during this study. The experimental study identified the flow regimes occurring in the system and analyzed the impact of three parameters: the liquid flow rate, the liquid subcooling and the pressure at the system outlet. This study also proposed a simple model which determine the necessary conditions to completely drown the pipe, which minimize condensation phenomena. Thereafter, the numerical simulation of the two-phase flow was realized by CFD on ANSYS Fluent with the "Volume of Fluid" model. The condensation simulation was achieved by applying a condensation model used in literature. This model was added to the numerical code with User-Defined Functions (UDF). The simulation reproduced the weir regime flow at the pipe entrance and the vapor condensation inside the pipe
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe 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
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe 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
