Programmable nanophotonics for quantum information processing and artificial intelligence
No full textThesis: Ph. D., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, 2017.Cataloged from PDF version of thesis.Includes bibliographical references.Over the past decade, progress in digital electronic computing systems has slowed as traditional, transistor-based silicon technologies approach their scaling limits. Quantum computing and non-Von Neumann computing architectures have emerged as promising alternatives for continued computational advancement-garnering significant investment and public interest. As a hardware platform, silicon photonics may play an important role in enabling quantum and classical information processing architectures. Here, I will discuss my thesis work on developing a programmable nanophotonic processor in silicon, as well as applications of this processor within the fields of quantum simulation, quantum computing, and deep learning. I will also cover results on environment-assisted quantum transport, deep learning with coherent nanophotonics, heralded single-photon sources, and highly integrable superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors.by Nicholas Christopher Harris.Ph.

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
"Plantinus ubique plantinus": new facts concerning the history of the 1601 and 1614 editions of "Hierosolymitana peregrinatio" by Nicholas Christopher Radziwiłł the Orphan
No full textStraipsnyje pristatomas Lietuvos istorijos instituto bibliotekoje saugomas unikalus 1601 m. Mikalojaus Kristupo Radvilos Našlaitėlio „Kelionės į Jeruzalę“ (Hierosolymitana peregrinatio) egzempliorius. Pagal jį 1614 m. Plantino spaustuvėje Antverpene buvo parengtas ir išspausdintas antrasis Kelionės lotyniškasis leidimas. Konkrečiais pavyzdžiais įrodomas šio egzemplioriaus korektūrinis pobūdis. Remiantis Plantino-Moreto muziejaus archyve Antverpene šiuo metu saugomais laiškais, atskleidžiama iki šiol nežinoma antrojo Kelionės leidimo istorija. Visi šie laiškai publikuojami straipsnio priede originalo (lotynų) kalba su komentarais ir vertimu į lietuvių kalbą. RAKTINIAI ŽODŽIAI: Jonas Alandas, Lietuvos istorijos institutas, Baltazaras Moretas, Nesvyžiaus kolegija, Otonas Palenas, plantenai, Plantino-Moreto muziejus; Mikalojus Kristupas Radvila Našlaitėlis, Andrius Skorulskis.The article presents a unique copy of the 1601 edition of Hierosolymitana peregrinatio (‘The Journey to Jerusalem’) by Nicholas Christopher Radziwiłł the Orphan currently preserved at the library of the Lithuanian Institute of History in Vilnius. Specific corrections left in margine prove the proofreading nature of this copy. It is asserted that the second Latin edition of the ‘Journey’ printed in Antwerp by the Plantin printing house in 1614 was prepared and published on the basis of the aforementioned copy. Unpublished letters stored in the archival collections of the Plantin-Moretus Museum reveal a completely unknown history of the printing process of the second Latin edition of the ‘Journey’. All these letters are published in the appendix to the article in their original language (Latin) with comments and translation into Lithuanian.

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
