Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe 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

Great River Reading Series: Shannon Olson
No full textShannon Olson is the best-selling author of Welcome to My Planet and Children of God Go Bowling. With pathos, humor, and wit, Olson’s novels explore the angst of adjusting to the “real world” after college and her protagonist’s fraught attempts to separate from her over-involved mother, referred to by Garrison Keillor as “one of the great mothers of American fiction.” Olson directs the Creative Writing Program at St. Cloud State University. She has also taught at the University of Minnesota and at the Iowa Summer Writing Workshop and the Loft Literary Center
Reconfigurable rateless codes
No full textWe propose novel reconfigurable rateless codes, that are capable of not only varying the block length but also adaptively modify their encoding strategy by incrementally adjusting their degree distribution according to the prevalent channel conditions without the availability of the channel state information at the transmitter. In particular, we characterize a reconfigurable ratelesscode designed for the transmission of 9,500 information bits that achieves a performance, which is approximately 1 dB away from the discrete-input continuous-output memoryless channel’s (DCMC) capacity over a diverse range of channel signal-to-noise (SNR) ratios
Construction of regular quasi-cyclic protograph LDPC codes based on Vandermonde matrices
No full textIn this contribution, we investigate the attainable performance of quasi-cyclic (QC) protograph Low-Density Parity-Check (LDPC) codes for transmission over both Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) and uncorrelated Rayleigh channels. The codes presented are constructed using the Vandermonde matrix and benefit from both low-complexity encoding and decoding, low memory requirements as well as hardware-friendly implementations. Our simulation results demonstrate that the advantages offered by this family of QC protograph LDPC codes accrue without any compromise in the attainable Bit Error Ratio (BER) and Block Error Ratio (BER) performance. In fact, it is also shown that despite their implementational benefits, the proposed codes exhibit slight BER/BLER gains when compared to some of their more complex counterparts of the same length
