Beach profile evolution and dune erosion due to the impact of hurricane Isabel
No full textThe present study analyzes the dune erosion and cross-shore beach profile evolution occurred in Outer Banks, North Carolina, in September 2003 during Hurricane Isabel. Several LIDAR (Light Detection And Ranging) profiles before (August 16, 2003) and after Isabel (September 21, 2003) are used to establish the dune erosion above the mean sea level. Twenty-nine survey profiles in the vicinity of the USACE Field Research Facility (FRF) at Duck, North Carolina, are examined to characterize the dune erosion and the cross-shore beach profile change in water depth less than 10 m and also to calibrate and verify the numerical model CSHORE. The model, based on the time-averaged continuity, cross-shore momentum, longshore momentum and energy equations, predicts the cross-shore variations of the free surface elevation, depth-averaged cross-shore and longshore fluid velocity as well as the suspended sand and bedload transport rates per unit of width

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
