Ross Harris Face & Symphony No.6 'Last Letter'
No full textThis live recording is from the performance in Auckland Town Hall on April19, 2018. As chorusmaster, I prepared the chorus for "Face". Ross Harris "writes
vTo commemorate a war assumes we are speaking of an event that began and ended on defining dates. And so, history ‘remembers’. Yet, for many of those not killed in these years, and especially those with facial wounds, survival meant, for the rest of their lives, not yet an end. As the WWI centenary approaches its conclusion, it is these that Face has in mind – no matter how many men there were, it always comes down to the story of the solitary enduring man, who survives as something other than what he hoped to be.
These symphonic songs and choruses weave the various experiences of anticipation, and loss, hope deferred and then despaired of, in the voices of a soldier, his fiancée, the damaged human psyche, and the best intentions of science to reconstruct what ingenuity has already had marred. The work is a homage to ‘this image of Adam’ – as he was, as we attempt to restore."https://www.rnz.co.nz/concert/programmes/musicalive/audio/2018647009/ross-harris-fac
Requiem for the Fallen CD, Atoll acd617, Conductor and Artistic Director Karen Grylls
No full textO'Sullivan, V. (text), Harris, R.(composer), Horo, H.(composer & Taonga pūoro ), Voices NZ Chamber Choir (choir), NZ String Quartet (musicians), Greagher, R. (Tenor), Karen Grylls (Conductor)This CD represents the culmination of work that was begun with Voices New Zealand Chamber Choir (VNZ) and Horomona Horo in our first Chamber Music New Zealand Tour in 2011. From this relationship with our taonga puoro artist, we have recorded a first collaborative CD “Voice of the Soul” and since then have performed, alongside each other and with the New Zealand String Quartet (NZSQ), concerts in Wellington, Auckland and Dunedin. Our collaboration with composer Ross Harris and poet Vincent O’Sullivan has resulted in this CD Requiem for the Fallen, recorded several years after the first performance. As a result of this commission and collaboration VNZ has been asked to record Harris’s new work Face with the Auckland Philharmonia in April 2018. In November 2018, Horomona will tour with VNZ to Europe and America.This CD was recorded in 2016 after three critically acclaimed performances of the same work at the NZ Festival of the Arts, Auckland Festival and Dunedin Festival. The concerts were semi staged and accompanied by stark pictures and video from World War One
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
