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
Classical Representation and Manipulation of Quantum Many Body States and High Dimensional Data
Get PDFThis thesis contains several developments in extending the capability of classical simulations for representing and manipulating quantum many-body states and high dimensional data. In Chapter 1, we introduce the different types of problems considered in quantum chemistry (with ab initio molecular Hamiltonian) and condensed matter physics (with lattice model Hamiltonian) as well as a classical scenario of high-dimensional function integration. In each case, we briefly introduce a corresponding anstaz for representing either the quantum many-body wavefunction or the classical high-dimensional integrand, which provides context for more detailed discussion in subsequent chapters.
Chapter 2 describes a technical improvement on an existing formulation of the coupled cluster method, known as a popular wavefunction ansatz in quantum chemistry, for simulating finite-temperature non-equilibrium ab initio Hamiltonian dynamics. We adapt a technique from zero-temperature dynamics to the non-equilibrium finite-temperature coupled cluster method, thereby restoring conservation laws for 1-particle properties which were previously broken, and stabilizing the numerical behavior of the method for moderate time propagation. We demonstrated the capability of the method on both ab initio molecular systems such as field-driven H2 and electron transport in silicon cell, and model Hamiltonian such as the moderately interacting single impurity Anderson model (SIAM). We were able to perform stable dynamics simulation for sufficient amount of time to extract qualitatively correct physics, such as band population transport in silicon, and Kondo physics in the SIAM.
Chapter 3 and Chapter 4 introduce developments in tensor network state (TNS) methods for lattice model Hamiltonian. Typically, TNS are constructed to correctly represent the entanglement structure of target physical state, whose computation of e.g., amplitude and expectation value, can only be performed approximately. A representative example is the projected entangled pair state (PEPS) for representing ground states on 2-dimensional lattices. In Chapter 3, we describe several aspects in PEPS (and TNS in general) construction and computation, including approximate contraction and derivative computation, as well as encoding of Abelian symmetry and fermion statistics. We also introduce a change of perspective of TNS ansatz that restores its exact variationality which was hitherto considered only approximate due to the need of approximate contraction. With such new perspective on TNS ansatz, Chapter 4 then focuses on stochastic optimization of TNS using variational Monte Carlo (VMC). In particular, we investigate the convergence behavior of first- and second order update methods under stochastic noise, which was in turn affected by several factors such as sample size, system size, wavefunction quality and variational expressivity of the ansatz. We hope that the developments described in Chapter 3 and Chapter 4 can allow efficient large scale PEPS simulation of highly entangled states on 2-dimensional lattices, such as spin liquids, ground state of fermi-Hubbard model, and phases of uniform electron gas.
Chapter 5 introduces a constructive approach for representing high dimensional classical functions with tensor network, and perform integration with approximate contraction. Previous attempts of using tensor network for high dimensional integration typically fit a predetermined form of exactly contractable tensor network to the target function, where error is mainly due to the limited expressivity of the tensor network ansatz. On the other hand, our constructive approach is in principle free of representation error for any function that admits polynomial decomposition into small function blocks. The returned tensor network representation is of arbitrary geometry, where the error is mainly due to approximate contraction, which will benefit greatly from new developments in tenor network approximate contraction techniques.</p

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.
