Magnetic petrology of the Ross Orogen in Oates Land (Antarctica)
No full textThis paper presents the results of a pilot study on the magnetic petrology of basement rock units
in the Ross Orogen in Oates Land (Antarctica). Magnetic susceptibilities of migmatitic gneisses – the
dominant lithology - are generally low (ilmenite+/-graphite-bearing rocks), with the exception of two
occurrences (magnetite+/-green spinel-bearing rocks) at Harald Bay and Burnside Ridge. Similar low values
are typical for most Granite Harbour Intrusives, except for the variably mylonitic Exiles Nunataks granite
and the Archangel Nunataks gabbros and pyroxenites, which are among the most magnetic rock types in the
area. Metamorphosed mafic and ultramafic rocks, occurring in outcrop as volumetrically minor bodies (lenses
of 1 dm to 10 m size), are variably but generally about one order of magnitude more highly magnetic than
country gneisses.
Petrological investigations on representative samples indicate that nearly pure or low-Ti magnetite is the only
ferrimagnetic phase, irrespective of lithologic type, and magnetic susceptibility values are always positively
correlated with the modal amount of magnetite. The rare occurrence of magnetite in the opaque mineralogy
of migmatitic gneisses indicates that appropriate chemical and fO2 conditions were only locally attained in
the region, and microstructural evidence indicate that magnetite possibly formed at different metamorphic
stages during the post–peak decompressional path at high T and/or the retrograde path. In variably magnetic
ultramafic and mafic lenses magnetite (almost pure to low-Ti) typically occurs as very fine grained opaque
inclusions in secondary hornblende and/or chlorite. This evidence indicates that a high proportion of
magnetite is of secondary origin and related to amphibolite grade or lower grade metamorphic processes.
Titanomagnetite and exolution features are documented in the gabbros from Archangel Nunataks, in which
the decrease of magnetite content is inversely correlated with the extent of sub-solidus late-magmatic reequilibration
(replacement of pyroxene by hornblende). Similar microstructural evidence of re-equilibration
during cooling was also found in the highly magnetic magnetite-bearing mylonitic hornblende-biotite granites
from Exiles Nunataks.
All highly magnetic rock units represent potential petrologic sources of regional crustal magnetic anomalies
in the Oates Land region as revealed by aeromagnetic surveys. In particular, the Exiles Nunataks magnetitebearing
granites are clearly marked by aeromagnetic anomalies forming a small part of the “Matusevich
Anomaly”, a prominent magnetic anomaly, co-linear with the Matusevich Glacier. The gabbros as exposed in
the southestermost Archangel Nunataks are correlated with a distinct high-amplitude anomaly that occurs at
this location and delineates the extent of the gabbroic intrusion itself. Significant volumes of metamorphosed
mafic/ultramafic rocks may account for the high-frequency anomaly chains flanking the main part of the
Matusevich Anomaly in the Lazarev Mountains
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
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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe 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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn 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.
