Symbole, schème, imagination. Essai sur l'œuvre de R. Giorgi
No full textSymbol, scheme, imagination. An essay on the work of R. Giorgi.
The relationship between symbol, scheme and imagination — long since touched upon, if not examined thoroughly — is dealt with in the discipline now known as « semiology ». The question arises whether semiology could now replace the traditional ontology of which it was once merely an appendix. It could do so only by expanding itself and becoming a full theory of the symbol, a symbology. The work of R. Giorgi is an introduction to such a symbology. He shows that the symbol moves between two extremes : finite-infinite, creature-God, existent-being; and that it can realise its function of mediation between these two poles only by integrating itself into a system of intervals, the structure of which is revealed by the imaginary, the scheme and the image.Les rapports du symbole, du schème et de l'imagination, entrevus depuis longtemps, sinon explicités, relèvent de ce groupe de disciplines appelées aujourd'hui « sémiologiques ». La sémiologie pourra-t-elle se substituer à l'antique ontologie dont elle fut jadis un simple appendice ? Elle ne le pourrait qu'en s'élargissant et en devenant une théorie du symbole, une symbologie. L'œuvre de R. Giorgi se présente comme une introduction à la symbologie. Elle montre que le symbole se meut entre deux extrêmes : fini-infini, créature-Dieu, étant-être; et qu'il ne peut réaliser sa fonction médiatrice entre ces pôles qu'en s'établissant lui-même sous un régime d'intervalle dont l'imaginaire, le schème et l'image révèlent la structure.Breton Stanislas.

Solutions for the optimization of the software interface on an FPGA-based NIC
Full text linkThe theme of the research is the study of solutions for the optimization of the software interface on FPGA-based Network Interface Cards. The research activity was carried out in the APE group at INFN (Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare), which has been historically active in designing of high performance scalable networks for hybrid nodes (CPU/GPU) clusters.
The result of the research is validated on two projects the APE group is currently working on, both allowing fast prototyping for solutions and hardware-software co-design: APEnet (a PCIe FPGA-based 3D torus network controller) and NaNet (FPGA-based family of NICs mainly dedicated to real-time, low-latency computing systems such as fast control systems or High Energy Physics Data Acquisition Systems). NaNet is also used to validate a GPU-controlled device driver to improve network perfomances, i.e. even lower latency of the communication, while used in combination with existing user-space software.
This research is also gaining results in the "Horizon2020 FET-HPC ExaNeSt project", which aims to prototype and develop solutions for some of the crucial problems on the way towards production of Exascale-level Supercomputers, where the APE group is actively contribuiting to the development of the network / interconnection infrastructure
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
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
