    No full text
    Title: Neutral Meson Production in Ag+Ag Collisions at 1.58 A GeV with HADES Electromagnetic Calorimeter Author: Alexandr Prozorov Abstract: The Dielectron Spectrometer HADES operating at the SIS18 synchrotron, FAIR/GSI Darmstadt, recently provided new intriguing results on the pro- duction of electron pairs and strangeness from nucleus-nucleus collisions, as well as from elementary reactions, in the energy region of 1 − 2 A GeV. In 2019 the spectrometer was complemented by an electromagnetic calorimeter based on lead- glass modules, which allows us to measure photons and thus study the production of π0 and η mesons via their two-photon decay. Knowledge of the neutral-meson production is a mandatory prerequisite for the interpretation of dielectron data. In particular, the directed and elliptic flow of neutral mesons with respect to transverse momentum and rapidity will be shown for different centrality classes in Ag + Ag collisions at 1.58 A GeV. The results of the analysis corresponding to the 14 × 109 events will be confronted with the results of other experiments and with the current model calculations. Keywords: baryonic medium, hadrons, relativistic heavy-ion collisions, neutral mesons, pion flo

V roce 2019 byl spektrometr doplněn elektromagnetickým kalorimetrem založeným na modu- lech s olovnatého skla, který nám umožnil měřit fotony a tak studovat produkci mezonů π0 a η prostřednictvím jejich rozpadu na dva fotony. Znalost produkce ne- utrálních mezonů je nutným předpokladem pro interpretaci dat o dielektronech. Konkrétně budou ukázány výtěžky, přímý a eliptický tok neutrálních mezonů vzhledem k příčné hybnosti a rapiditě pro různé centrality ve srážkách Ag + Ag při 1,58 A GeV. Výsledky analýzy odpovídajících 14 × 109 událostí budou kon- frontovány s výsledky jiných experimentů a s aktuálními modelovými výpočty.

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    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

    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

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    Get PDF
    We 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 text
    We 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
