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
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
CFD investigation of gas-solid flow dynamics in monolithic micro-circulating fluidized bed reactors
No full textLa biomasse est une des sources importantes d'énergie primaire et renouvelable. Le développement d'un procédé basé sur la conversion de celle-ci en énergie tout en demeurant respectueux de l'environnement, fait l'objet de recherches intenses aussi bien dans les mondes académique qu'industriel. La gazéification pour produire un gaz de biosynthèse est considérée comme une des options les plus prometteuses via la valorisation des sources de résidus de biomasse. La thermodynamique et la cinétique intrinsèque imposent que les réactions de gazéification de la biomasse doivent être effectuées à des températures élevées, exigeant la fourniture et la récupération de chaleur de manière efficace. Le concept de gazéification allotherme (par opposition à son pendant autotherme) offre une solution attrayante pour la mise en oeuvre à haute température du couplage de réactions fortement endothermique avec des réactions exothermiques. Toutefois, la mise en oeuvre pratique du concept sous haute température n'est pas aisée. Dans ce travail, un nouveau concept pour la gazéification de résidus de la biomasse est proposé impliquant l'hybridation de réactions à hautes températures de la gazéification et de la combustion dans un réacteur monolithique structuré. Clairement, le design et l'optimisation de ce nouveau procédé hybride requiert la compréhension précise, non seulement des phénomènes physico-chimiques de la conversion thermochimique de la biomasse, mais aussi du comportement hydrodynamique, complexe, des deux phases mises en oeuvre dans un microréacteur monolithique à lit fluidisé. À cet égard, la caractéristique hydrodynamique de la distribution des écoulements des phases gaz-solide au sein du réacteur revêt une importance cruciale pour la prédiction du comportement des processus de gazéification/combustion et pour l'examen de stratégies d'opération du procédé. En particulier, en raison de la nature complexe de l'interaction entre le gaz et les particules solides ainsi que la phase stationnaire représentée par le microréacteur monolithique, un des défis dans le design et l'opération de ces réacteurs est la prévention de la maldistribution des phases. Dans ce travail, la mécanique des fluides numériques (MFN) est mise à profit comme outil de simulation permettant d'explorer les distributions des écoulements gaz-solide dans un réacteur monolithique. L'ensemble des sections structurée 111 (le monolithe) et les parties terminales non-structurées (lits fixes aléatoires permettant l'alimentation et l'évacuation de la suspension gaz-solide) est globalement considéré dans la simulation afin de capturer les tendances lourdes des mécanismes contribuant à la dynamique gaz-solide. Les résultats des simulations ont démontré la capacité de la MFN à capturer la caractéristique de non-uniformité de l'écoulement dans ce type de géométri
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.
