    "Han Peng Fu": Quellenstudie, Edition und Übersetzung

    Full text link
    At the beginning of the 20th century an immense library of medieval manuscripts was discovered in the caves of Dunhuang in northwest China. Among these manuscripts there is a relatively small body of vernacular texts that shed new light on the opaque history of literature written by the Chinese non-elite. This article presents an emended edition and a German translation of the five remaining manuscripts of “Han Peng fu”, arguably one of the most moving and heart-warming vernacular texts recovered at Dunhuang. Set in the period of the Warring States, “Han Peng fu” tells the romantic and tragic story of the young Zhenfu and her husband Han Peng, whose fate is to unite only in death to which they are driven by the malicious schemes of the King of Song and his cunning advisor Liang Bo. Comparing “Han Peng fu” with other existing versions of the legend of Han Peng found on Bamboo strips from the late Western Han Dynasty and included in some later works such as Lieyi zhuan, Yuejue shu and Soushen ji, this article further studies the tradition of this narrative and identifies possible connections to other famous lores such as Meng Jiang nü, Kongque dongnan fei, Liang Shanbo yu Zhu Yingtai, and the legend of Xishi

    Linear Dependent Type Theory for Quantum Programming Languages

    Full text link
    Modern quantum programming languages integrate quantum resources and classical control. They must, on the one hand, be linearly typed to reflect the no-cloning property of quantum resources. On the other hand, high-level and practical languages should also support quantum circuits as first-class citizens, as well as families of circuits that are indexed by some classical parameters. Quantum programming languages thus need linear dependent type theory. This paper defines a general semantic structure for such a type theory via certain fibrations of monoidal categories. The categorical model of the quantum circuit description language Proto-Quipper-M by Rios and Selinger (2017) constitutes an example of such a fibration, which means that the language can readily be integrated with dependent types. We then devise both a general linear dependent type system and a dependently typed extension of Proto-Quipper-M, and provide them with operational semantics as well as a prototype implementation

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    Full text link
    The 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

    “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 link
    We 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
