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
Untersuchung der Murereignisse am Murenbach bei Reutte/Tirol
No full textDas Einzugsgebiet des Murenbaches befindet sich an der Westflanke des Lechtals im Gemeindegebiet von Höfen bei Reutte in Tirol. Die Geologie des Einzugsgebietes ist durch die Überschiebung der Lechtal- auf die Allgäudecke geprägt. Die damit verbundene starke Beanspruchung der Gesteine äußert sich in Hangbewegungen. Diese Prozesse überlagern sich mit der Wildbachtätigkeit und bedingen ein hohes Risiko für Murereignisse. Im Schwemmkegelbereich ist ein brauner Hinweisbereich mit einem Bauverbot ausgewiesen. In den nächsten Jahren wird der Gefahrenzonenplan durch die Gebietsbauleitung Außerfern (WLV) überarbeitet. Diese Arbeit soll eine Grundlage für die Beurteilung der Gefahrensituation des Murenbaches schaffen und folgende Forschungsfragen beantworten: Was sind die kritischen Bedingungen und Auslöser, die zum Auftreten von Murereignissen im Murenbach führen? Was sind Szenarien für ein 150-jährliches Bemessungsereignis? Was sind Szenarien für den Überlastfall? Wo liegt das Gefahrengebiet am teilweise besiedelten Schwemmkegel? Wie differenziert sich das Gefahrengebiet je nach Ereignismagnitude? In der Methodik werden die vorhandenen Untersuchungen ausgewertet und Geländeaufnahmen sowie darauf basierend eine Szenarienstudie mit numerischen Simulationsmodellen durchgeführt. Der hohe Auflösungsgrad der Festgesteine liefert mit Verwitterungsprozessen murfähiges Lockermaterial. Felssturzereignisse können durch ihre Auflast Murgänge auslösen. Die Kombination von langanhaltendem Regen im Mai und Schneeschmelze scheint der maßgeblichste Auslöser der Murgänge zu sein. Für die Simulationen wird ein BE150 mit 33 m3/s und 49 m3/s abgeschätzt. Im Schwemmkegelbereich kann es zur Vermurung kommen. Dabei kommt es im Siedlungsbereich bei den Brücken teilweise zum Ausbruch des Murmaterials. Ein Bergsturzereignis vom Hornbergle wird als Überlastfall definiert. Je nach Parameterauswahl kann es zu einer Gefährdung des Siedlungsbereiches kommen.The catchment area of the torrent Murenbach is located on the western flank of the Lechtal in the municipality of Höfen near Reutte in Tyrol. It is only 0,7 km2 large. The geology of the catchment area is characterized by the overthrust of the Lechtal-nappe onto the Allgäu-nappe. The strong stress on the rocks leads to slope movements. Mountain splitting and rockfalls are predominant. These processes overlap with the torrent activity and cause a high risk for debris flow. The area of the alluvial fan is declared as a brown zone with a building ban. Over the next few years, the Gebietsbauleitung Außerfern (WLV) plans to revise the hazard zone plan. This study should provide a basis for the evaluation for the hazard situation of the Murenbach and answers the following research questions: What are the critical conditions and trigger that lead to the occurrence of debris flow events in the Murenbach? What are scenarios for a 150-year design event? What are scenarios for overload events? Where is the hazard zone located on the partly populated alluvial fan? How does the hazard zone vary depending on the magnitude of the event? The existing researches are analyzed, field surveys are carried out and a scenario study with numerical simulation models is conducted on this basis. The weathering and collapse processes constantly provide new loose sediment. Rockfall events can trigger a debris flow due to their load. The combination of long-lasting rain in May and snow melt can lead to debris flow. BE150 with 33 m3/s and 49 m3/s are set for the simulation, which is in reference to the 1986 debris flow event. Accretion can occur at the alluvial fan. The debris flow breaks out at the lower bridge, while the upper bridge only erupts under certain conditions. A landslide event is defined as an overload event. Depending on the parameter settings, the residential area might be affected.verfasst von Simone RieckertMasterarbeit Universität für Bodenkultur Wien 2024Mit englischer Zusammenfassun
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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
