Vortex knots in light
No full textOptical vortices generically arise when optical beams are combined. Recently, we reported how several laser beams containing optical vortices could be combined to form optical vortex loops, links and knots embedded in a light beam (Leach et al 2004 Nature 432 165). Here, we describe in detail the experiments in which vortex loops form these structures. The experimental construction follows a theoretical model originally proposed by Berry and Dennis, and the beams are synthesized using a programmable spatial light modulator and imaged using a CCD camera

MeSH term explosion and author rank improve expert recommendations
No full textInformation overload is an often-cited phenomenon that reduces the productivity, efficiency and efficacy of scientists. One challenge for scientists is to find appropriate collaborators in their research. The literature describes various solutions to the problem of expertise location, but most current approaches do not appear to be very suitable for expert recommendations in biomedical research. In this study, we present the development and initial evaluation of a vector space model-based algorithm to calculate researcher similarity using four inputs: 1) MeSH terms of publications; 2) MeSH terms and author rank; 3) exploded MeSH terms; and 4) exploded MeSH terms and author rank. We developed and evaluated the algorithm using a data set of 17,525 authors and their 22,542 papers. On average, our algorithms correctly predicted 2.5 of the top 5/10 coauthors of individual scientists. Exploded MeSH and author rank outperformed all other algorithms in accuracy, followed closely by MeSH and author rank. Our results show that the accuracy of MeSH term-based matching can be enhanced with other metadata such as author rank
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
« "You are next in line" ("Method"): moving down the line(s) with Ron Padgett »
No full textInternational audience“No ideas but in hinges,” poet Stephen Rodefer once quipped in his poem “Numberless Shadows,” playfully modifying William Carlos Williams’s famous line. This essay examines line breaks as poetic hinges in the work of Ron Padgett: they are flexible spaces where the parts of the poem turn and articulate, the lines poised between conflicting forces, between formal interruption and syntactical momentum. An attempt at defining such versatile spaces, this essay seeks to explore line breaks as the pretexts for Ron Padgett’s metatextual poetics. Line breaks are pivotal points: not only are they constitutive of verse, but they also provide occasions for the poem to reflect upon itself. In Padgett’s work, they are critical junctures, when language hesitates between transitive and intransitive impulses.Le terme « line break » en anglais désigne à la fois l’acte de couper le vers et l’espace situé entre la fin du premier et le début du deuxième vers ainsi né. Cet espace est parfois désigné par le terme « enjambement » utilisé de même en anglais. Cet article interroge les difficultés de définition et les questions conceptuelles soulevées par cette notion, à la lumière du traitement que lui réserve le poète Ron Padgett dans son œuvre. Dans ses poèmes, l’enjambement est l’occasion d’un jeu au double sens de mouvement et d’« espace ménagé pour la course d’un organe » (Le Grand Robert). Les enjambements sont ces étranges espaces animés de tensions contraires (clôture et continuité) qui créent du jeu dans le poème : syntaxe et grammaire peuvent alors sortir de leurs gonds. Chez Padgett, le tournant que prend chaque fin de vers pour mener au suivant est l’occasion pour l’acte poétique de se remettre à chaque fois en jeu, suspendant son cours ne serait-ce qu’un instant avant de continuer. Cet article propose de lire les enjambements chez Padgett comme les lieux privilégiés de la réflexion métapoétique, le moment et l’endroit précis où le poète mesure ce qui fait et défait le poème
