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
Modèle IoT de gestion du feu en temps réel dans les villes intelligentes
Get PDFRÉSUMÉ: Chaque année, nous observons des milliers d'incendies résidentiels dans nos villes. Ces incendies causent de nombreux décès et dommages matériels. Au Québec, il y a en moyenne 16 500 incendies par année dont au moins 5 600 sont des incendies résidentiels. Entre 2015 et 2017, les incendies ont causé 131 décès et 540 millions de dollars CAD de dommage en moyenne par année. En 2018, il y avait 11 046 incendies avec 91 décès et 836.1 millions de dollars CAD de dommages en Ontario. Les personnes chargées d'intervenir en cas d'incendies sont les sapeurs-pompiers. Ces derniers disposent d'un temps très étroit (i.e., 5 à 10 minutes) pour sauver le maximum de personnes et arrêter la propagation des incendies. Pour aider les sapeurs-pompiers dans leurs tâches, de nombreuses solutions utilisant les Technologies de l'Information et de la Communication » (TIC) ont été mises en place. L'avènement des villes intelligentes et des nouvelles technologies, tels que le réseau 5G, les objets connectés « Internet of Things » (IoT) et la technologie « Building Information Model » (BIM), ont permis la création de solutions innovantes. Cependant, ces solutions présentent quelques lacunes comme l'incapacité de fonctionner en temps réel et de s'adapter à la plupart des situations d'incendie. Dans ce mémoire, nous proposons un nouveau modèle de gestion des incendies en temps réel. Ce modèle exploite les systèmes distribués et l'architecture microservice pour fournir un système robuste, adaptable et évolutif. Le modèle proposé est composé de quatre modules : le réseau de capteurs sans fil « Fire Emergency Sensor Network » (FESNet), l'application distribuée, les applications clients et un serveur Web qui agit comme intermédiaire entre l'application distribuée et les applications clients. Afin de valider notre modèle, un prototype capable du traitement de l'information en temps réel et de l'affichage des bâtiments en 3D a été implémenté. Nous avons effectué trois simulations en utilisant l'algorithme « Parallel Merge Sort » pour le triage des données. ABSTRACT: Every year, we see thousands of residential fires in our cities. These fires cause many deaths and property damage. In Quebec, there are an average of 16,500 fires per year of which at least 5,600 are residential fires. Between 2015 and 2017, fires caused 131 deaths and CAD 540 million in damage on average per year. In 2018, there were 11,046 fires with 91 deaths and CAD 836.1 million in damage in Ontario. The people responsible for responding to fires are the firefighters. Firefighters have a very limited amount of time (i.e., 5 to 10 minutes) to save as many people as possible and to stop the fire prorogation. To help firefighters in their tasks, many solutions using Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) have been implemented. The advent of smart cities and new technologies, such as the 5G network, the Internet of Things (IoT) and the Building Information Model (BIM), have allowed the creation of innovative solutions. However, these solutions have some shortcomings such as the inability to operate in real time and to adapt to most fire situations. In this dissertation, we propose a new model for real-time fire management. This model exploits distributed systems and microservices architecture to provide a robust, adaptable and scalable system. The proposed model is composed of four modules: The Fire Emergency Sensor Network (FESNet), the distributed application, the client applications and a Web server that acts as an intermediary between the distributed application and the client applications. To validate our model, a prototype able to process the information in real-time and to display the buildings in 3D, was implemented. Moreover, we perform three simulations using the Parallel Merge Sort algorithm
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.
