MeSH term explosion and author rank improve expert recommendations
No full textInformation overload is an often-cited phenomenon that reduces the productivity, efficiency and efficacy of scientists. One challenge for scientists is to find appropriate collaborators in their research. The literature describes various solutions to the problem of expertise location, but most current approaches do not appear to be very suitable for expert recommendations in biomedical research. In this study, we present the development and initial evaluation of a vector space model-based algorithm to calculate researcher similarity using four inputs: 1) MeSH terms of publications; 2) MeSH terms and author rank; 3) exploded MeSH terms; and 4) exploded MeSH terms and author rank. We developed and evaluated the algorithm using a data set of 17,525 authors and their 22,542 papers. On average, our algorithms correctly predicted 2.5 of the top 5/10 coauthors of individual scientists. Exploded MeSH and author rank outperformed all other algorithms in accuracy, followed closely by MeSH and author rank. Our results show that the accuracy of MeSH term-based matching can be enhanced with other metadata such as author rank
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
"Closing the R&D Gap, Evaluating the Sources of R&D Spending"
No full textBoth spending and tax policies have been implemented in the United States with the goal of stimulating private sector research and development (R&D). Karier questions whether current R&D policy, especially the research and experimentation tax credit, can contribute to closing the gap between nondefense expenditures on R&D in the United States and such expenditures in other countries, such as Japan and Germany. He also explores possible changes to our current R&D policy to make it more effective.
Anàlisi i millora de la planificació de la construcció d un edifici d habitatges a Sagunt (València) mitjançant la metodologia de les Línies de Balance
No full text[ES] DESCRIPCIÓN:
Este trabajo aplica la metodología de Líneas de Balance (LOB) como herramienta para optimizar la planificación, el control y el seguimiento del avance estructural en un proyecto real de edificación vertical con alta repetitividad: 120 Viviendas Sagunto Fase II . A partir de datos reales de obra y cronogramas contractuales, se construyen modelos gráficos que permiten analizar los ritmos de producción, detectar desviaciones y proyectar escenarios más ajustados, validando la utilidad del modelo LOB en contextos constructivos complejos y repetitivos.
El TFM se centra en el análisis de las actividades de cimentación y estructura de tres edificios pertenecientes al proyecto 120 Viviendas Sagunto Fase II , aplicando la metodología de Líneas de Balance (LOB) para evaluar la planificación, el avance real y las proyecciones constructivas. A partir del cálculo de velocidades de ejecución y rendimientos por nivel, se construyen diagramas LOB que permiten visualizar las desviaciones temporales, la pérdida de ritmo y la sincronización entre frentes de trabajo. El estudio incorpora datos reales obtenidos en obra hasta el forjado 3 y genera proyecciones ajustadas para los niveles superiores, formulando recomendaciones concretas para mejorar la gestión productiva, el control visual y la toma de decisiones en proyectos con estructuras repetitivas.Rodríguez Robayo, NJ.

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe 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
Scholarly Communication and Publishing Lunch and Learn Talk #11: The ULS Open Access Author Fee Fund

The R&D Tax Incentives
No full textThis article sets out some background information and reflections of the author on the R&D tax incentive schemes included in the Common Corporate Tax Base (CCTB) Proposal. In particular the author analyzes the stimulus to private R&D through ad hoc tax incentives included in the CCTB Proposal and dives into the actual provisions included in the Proposal highlighting the most relevant issues connected with their design and interpretation. Moreover, the author explores the interaction between the CCTB Proposal and the granting by Member States of domestic R&D tax incentives
El relato especular en El sonido de las olas, de Margarita García Robayo
No full textParting from the proposal by Lucien Fallen Bach, it pretends to demonstrate The Sound of the Waves (Three short novels) acts as a speculate narrative on two levels: structural and thematic. We shall go to the first definition of argument, intrigue and fable by Helen Beristain, to then explore the concept of a novel as a transformation by Julia Kristeva; this will help to answer if the three novels if The Sound of the Waves function as one novel. The thematic will be determined by the presence of the father and the loving reunion of the protagonist, the link between Eros and Thanatos. All these elements (as well as the dialogue of other thinkers) will regress to the initial proposal: the configuration of the speculate narrative whose purpose in the end is the search of identity.A partir de la propuesta de Lucien Dällenbach, se pretende demostrar que El sonido de las olas (Tres novelas cortas), de Margarita García Robayo, actúa como un relato especular en dos niveles: estructural y temático. Para lo estructural se acudirá primero a la definición de argumento, intriga y fábula de Helena Beristáin, para enseguida explorar el concepto de novela como transformación de Julia Kristeva; esto ayudará a responder si las tres novelas de El sonido de las olas funcionan como una única novela. Lo temático estará determinado por la presencia del padre y el encuentro amoroso de la protagonista, enlace entre Eros y Tánatos. Todos estos elementos (así como el diálogo con otros pensadores) regresarán a la propuesta inicial: la onfiguración de un relato especular cuyo fin último es la búsqueda de la identidad.
