The pixel detector based tracklet reconstruction algorithm in ALICE
No full textThis note describes a method to reconstruct signals in the two silicon pixel detector layers compatible with tracks coming from the main interaction vertex, namely tracklets. The basic algorithm strategy and its performance are illustrated
Impiego del seme congelato in un centro di fecondazione equina. Risultati in un periodo di 4 anni (1998-2001)
No full textThe use of frozen semen for artificial insemination of the mare is strongly limited by the peculiar reproductive activity of
this species, the difficulty to obtain large amounts of semen from each stallions, the variability in the cryopreservation procedures,
the low viability of sperm in the uterus and variable pregnancy rate from different stallions. In the present work, we report
the results of the use of frozen equine semen in four consecutive reproductive seasons. Data indicates that it is possible
to obtain pregnancy rates similar to those that can be obtained with fresh or cooled semen. This can be obtained when heat
and ovulation are stressly monitored, semen is well manipulated and females are correctly selected
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
