Optimal randomized parallel algorithms for computational geometry
No full textWe present parallel algorithms for some fundamental problems in computational geometry which have a running time ofO(logn) usingn processors, with very high probability (approaching 1 as n → ∞). These include planar-point location, triangulation, and trapezoidal decomposition. We also present optimal algorithms for three-dimensional maxima and two-set dominance counting by an application of integer sorting. Most of these algorithms run on a CREW PRAM model and have optimal processor-time product which improve on the previously best-known algorithms of Atallah and Goodrich [5] for these problems. The crux of these algorithms is a useful data structure which emulates the plane-sweeping paradigm used for sequential algorithms. We extend some of the techniques used by Reischuk [22] and Reif and Valiant [21] for flashsort algorithm to perform divide and conquer in a plane very efficiently leading to the improved performance by our approach
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
No full text“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
No full textWe 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
Increasing the cigarette tax
No full textThis report estimates the revenue and distributional effects of increasing the state’s cigarette excise tax by 1.98 to 175 million per year and reduce Medicaid expenditures by almost $1 million per year. The amount of revenue generated depends on the extent to which a tax rate increase would boost tax avoidance in large border cities like Chicago.
Although cigarettes are predominantly consumed by the poor, many would significantly decrease their consumption in response to the tax, thereby mitigating some of their tax burden. Moreover, if smokers are not making rational, well-informed decisions, then economic theory predicts that an increase in the cigarette tax may benefit them by encouraging healthier behavior.Open Restriction set for Item 118048 on 2021-08-02T16:29:39Z with date null by [email protected] by Rebecca Blythe ([email protected]) on 2021-08-02T16:34:12Z
