Images from Historic Building Survey Work at North End Farm, Halewood, Merseyside, March to September 2022
No full textThis collection comprises images from historic building survey work at North End Farm, Halewood, Merseyside. This was undertaken by Paul Butler Associates between March and September 2022. An archaeological building survey was required prior to the demolition and refurbishment of five farm buildings. The threshing barn at North End farm was erected in the mid - late 19th century, and shows no evidence of a former engine house. However, the dovecot was shown to be connected to the barn on the 1892 OS map, which may suggest that it had been converted to hold an engine by this time. The fact that the barn was built without an engine suggests that they either used a portable machine or that hand flailing was still used
Images from Historic Building Recording Work at Building 3, Vauxhall Industrial Estate, February to April 2022
No full textThis collection comprises images from Historic Building Recording work at Building 3, Vauxhall Industrial estate, Stockport. This work was undertaken by Paul Butler Associates February to April 2022.
The recording work was required prior to the demolition of Building 3 and included production of a photographic survey, measured plan and section, and physical description. The building was found to be a likely boiler house for the works, in use from 1900 until the late 1930's to early 1940's, when it changed use.The building was likely constructed around 1900, when the works first opened. The southern extension appears to have been completed by the time of the 1916 Ordnance Survey map, with the building appearing as approximately square in plan
Images from Historic Building Recording Work at Hayes Farm, Halewood, December 2022
No full textThis collection comprises images from Historic Building Recording work at Hayes Farm, Halewood. This work was undertaken by Paul Butler Associates in December 2022. The building appears to have been built as a two bay washhouse, likely at the same time as the main house, in 1867. A hearth is located at the eastern end, along with a boiler with grate below to allow the water in the basin to be heated separately. The eastern end was likely built as a small outdoor privy, and store, separate from the wash house. The brick used is similar to the wash house, which may suggest it was built at the same time, or soon afterwards. Rebuilding to both long elevations may suggest an open passage between the two buildings, which was later filled in to allow access from the rear yard only. The western lean-to was added at a later date, formed through the erection of a single wall, with the northern end open. The 1894 OS map shows the outbuilding as a single long unit attached to the house, suggesting that it was fully built by this time, over a period of 27 years

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
