Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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 linkWe 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
Full text linkWe 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
Experimental and numerical modeling of the power take-off of a wave energy converter
No full textLes travaux présentés portent sur l'étude du power take off d'un système houlomoteur. Celui-ci est constitué d'un ensemble de bassins connectés entre eux via des clapets souples assurant une circulation à sens unique. Les mouvements de la plate-forme sur laquelle le système est installé induisent un phénomène de ballottement du fluide présent dans ces bassins. Les vagues ainsi générées viennent alors alimenter une cuve cylindrique dont le fond est percé d'un orifice central. Le fluide injecté dans ce réservoir engendre un écoulement de type tourbillon de vidange, dont l’énergie cinétique est extraite par une turbine à axe vertical. La première phase de ces travaux se concentre sur l'étude expérimentale du tourbillon de vidange en écoulement stationnaire. L'évolution du champ de vitesse dans le bassin, avec et sans turbine, est étudié par particle image velocimetry (PIV). En parallèle, la puissance délivrée par la turbine et la hauteur d'eau dans le bassin sont mesurées. Ces résultats sont utilisés pour définir les hypothèses de départ pour la création d'un modèle numérique. La deuxième phase de ces travaux porte sur l'étude expérimentale du tourbillon de vidange en écoulement instationnaire. Un second dispositif de mesure est spécialement construit et instrumenté. Ce dernier permet de modéliser plus fidèlement l'écoulement rencontré dans le système houlomoteur. La méthode PIV est de nouveau utilisée. La dernière phase des travaux porte sur la modélisation numérique de la turbine à axe vertical. Le modèle développé se fonde sur la théorie des écoulements potentiels et prend en compte les effets 3D. Les résultats obtenus sont comparés aux résultats expérimentaux.The present work aims at studying the power take-off of a wave energy converter (WEC). This system is composed of a set of connected tanks. Rubber flaps are installed at tanks inlet and outlet to ensure a one-way flow direction. Thanks to wave induced motions of the supporting platform, sloshing appears inside the WEC tanks which feed a cylindrical basin with a centered drain hole at its bottom. Then, a bathtub vortex flow appears within this tank, where a vertical axis turbine is installed to harvest kinetic energy from the flow. The first phase of this research focuses on studying the steady bathtub flow. To do so, a dedicated experiment is built. Velocity field within the cylindrical basin, with and without the turbine, is studied via Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV). In addition, power production from the turbine and water level inside the tank are measured. These results are used to define starting hypothesis for developing a numerical model of the turbine. The second phase of this research focuses on studying the unsteady bathtub flow. For this purpose, a second experiment is built. This setup provides a more realistic environment, closer to what can be observed with the WEC system. PIV measurements are also used extensively to study the flow with and without the turbine. The last stage of this research focuses on the numerical modelling of the vertical axis turbine. The model is based on the potential flow theory. First, a two-dimensional approach is used to validate the early pieces of the model. Secondly, a three-dimensional approach is adopted to account for more complex flow features. Finally, numerical and experiment results are compared
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

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.
