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
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
Power Combining Solutions for High-Power GaN MMICs at mm-Wave Frequencies
No full textThe work at hand is concerned with the design of a broadband solid-state power amplifier system (SSPA) with very large output power in the millimeter-wave frequency range. Itis divided into two major parts. The first part consists of a comprehensive investigation of the parameters that limit the bandwidth of a power amplifier. To that end, the Bode-Fano limit is illustrated, which represents the fundamental boundary of the bandwidth a transistor can be reactively matched over. In addition, the effects of this limit on an interstage matching network is analyzed. It turns out that in many cases, the interstage network determines the bandwidth of the overall amplifier system. Furthermore, the conditions are examined under which the Bode-Fano limit bounds the bandwidth of an amplifier and which impact this results in for the design of the amplifier. In amplifier designs that are aimed at high output powers, it is generally necessary to parallelize a large number of transistors. Consequently, the boundary conditions that arise from this fact are examined in case of the most complex amplifier constituent, the interstage network. From this, a minimum prototype network is developed, which satisfies these boundary conditions. As extensive coupling effects occur in miniaturized millimeter-wave layouts, it is often a considerable obstacle to transfer prototype networks to electrically equivalent layouts. Therefore, for the first time, space-mapping algorithms are evaluated for the design of high-power amplifiers. To that end, the formulation and concrete application of several algorithm realizations shows their advantages and disadvantages. Additionally, a fast and quickly applicable reference implementation is introduced. In the following, this implementation enables the design of several demonstrator MMICs which surpass the current state of the art in important aspects. The second part of this work is concerned with a study of several approaches to large-scale power combining. Particularly, the insertion loss, the achievable bandwidth hand manufacturability properties are examined with a focus on the scaling of the designs towards millimeter-wave frequencies. Apart from topologies based on binary-tree and traveling-wave structures, radially symmetric approaches are analyzed in depth. As a result, the radial-line combiner turns out to be the topology with the best compromise of the aforementioned properties. Subsequently, the radial-line combiner is examined more closely. The analysis shows that three major components can be considered separately: the central feeder, the radial line and the peripheral transition. For the realization of these constituents, several new components are developed in the course of this work. As an example, a new peripheral transition to rectangular waveguide is proposed, which integrates compensation structures in the transitional area. Consequently, it reaches a considerably higher operational bandwidth than the previous art. The results of these analyses and developments are used to design a 16-way radial-line combiner demonstrator in the Ka band. Its characterization shows very good matching properties and record values with respect to the insertion loss in the entire Ka band. Using the MMIC modules designed in the first part and the combiner demonstrator from the second part of this work, a two-stage SSPA is manufactured in the following. The in-depth small and large-signal characterizations show a transducer gain of over20 dB in the entire Ka band and an output power of over 100W in a large part of the Ka band. These results impressively underline the value of the analyses and new approaches that have been developed here

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.
