Analyse Des Fortes Précipitations Et De Leur Evolution Future Dans La Partie Nord De Madagascar
Get PDFL’objectif principal de cette étude consiste à modéliser et à informer les risques de fortes précipitations dans notre zone d’étude. Nous avons employé diverses techniques telles que l'analyse descriptive empirique des échantillons et la théorie statistique des valeurs extrêmes, plus précisément la distribution Pareto généralisée. Les principaux résultats indiquent que les précipitations sont très variables, avec quelques événements de pluie très élevés. La modélisation de la précipitation en excès au-delà du seuil 67.56 mm estime que les précipitations extrêmes qui se produisent plus souvent sont moins intenses. Les précipitations les plus violentes sont moins fréquentes, elles sont extrêmement violentes. Dans notre zone d'étude, où les risques d'événements extrêmes sont modérés, les conséquences sont limitées, mais il est essentiel de surveiller régulièrement afin d'éviter d'éventuelles aggravations. Les aménagements comprennent la création de systèmes de prévision et d'alerte précoce et l'amélioration des infrastructures de drainage afin de réduire au minimum les conséquences des précipitations modérées
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Analyse des influences QBO et ENSO sur la sécheresse dans la partie Sud-Ouest de Madagascar
Get PDFL’objectif de cette étude est de trouver les influences des phénomènes de QBO et d’ENSO sur la sècheresse dans la partie Sud-Ouest de Madagascar pendant la période de 1979 à 2021. Nous avons analysé les données pluviométriques journalières de 1979 à 2021 de notre zone d’étude, provenant du site ECMF avec une résolution de 0.25° x 0.25°. En utilisant les méthodes statistiques pour représenter les moyennes climatologiques mensuelles et annuels, l’indice standardisé des précipitations a analysé la sècheresse, avec des valeurs signifiantes, les catégories de l’humidités et de la sècheresse. Nous avons constaté que notre zone d’étude est touchée par la sécheresse proche de la normale avec 41,86% et que des épisodes de sécheresse extrême et modérée sont rares. Les phénomènes QBO et ENSO font partie aussi de notre étude. Les analyses nous a montré que la corrélation entre les précipitations et les indices QBO et ENSO est faible, avec des variations saisonnières et spatiales notables en fonction des phases de ces indices. En générale, la partie Sud-Ouest de Madagascar est plus susceptible de connaître des conditions d’humidité lors des épisodes de La Niña. Quant aux phases de QBO, elles n’ont pas d’influence directe marquée sur les précipitations
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe 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 PDFWe 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
