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
Review paper on four cylinder four stroke petrol engine
No full textThis thesis is about how to perform an analysis of four cylinder four stroke engine. As we know, dynamometer
is very expensive in the market and some way need to be build to perform engine performance analysis based on
functionality of dynamometer. So, engine test rig had been designed before can proceed to fabrication process. Some
sketches software had used like autocad and solidwork to draft out the shape of engine test rig. Materials selection also
included in this designed process. Variable loads will be given at constant engine speed to see whether performance of
engine will decrease or increase. Here, we can analyze at which engine speed is the optimum of performance from this
small engine. So, some losses like power and fuel can be decrease. Author will be taking ideal procedure for improve
performance of engine to change fuel quality by blending approach and reduced emission practically
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
Envisioning the Future: Report on a First Year Design-studio Project
No full textPossiamo analizzare uno spazio interno da più punti di vista: quello percettivo ((Arnheim 1974, 1977), psicologico (Hall 1966), poetico (Bachelard 1964), narrativo (Perec 1998) e – ovviamente – storico. Questo saggio riguarda il modo in cui studenti di un primo anno di corso in Design degli Interni prefigurano il futuro. È il risultato di un Laboratorio di progetto che ha coinvolto 60 studenti e 5 docenti presso il Politecnico di Milano nel 2017.
I designer italiani hanno sempre fatto uso di modelli e simulazioni al vero di ambienti interni per descrivere spazi abitativi futuri (ad esempio la serie delle “stanze” alla Triennale di Milano, sin dal 1936, oppure i modelli “specchiati” di Andrea Branzi). I nostri studenti hanno adottato un approccio simile, utilizzando modelli (in scala 1:20 e al vero) per progettare uno spazio a pianta quadrata di 20 mq che fosse parte di una ipotetica mostra dal tema: abitare/lavorare/consumare nel 2027.
Per comprendere le caratteristiche dello spazio e stato svolto un lavoro preliminare su modelli al vero; è stata raccolta una consistente base-dati sui trend futuri e sono state vagliate numerose ipotesi. Il corpo decente si aspettava che gli studenti prefigurassero – per usare le parole di Henchey (1978) – futuri “possibili” (ogni possibilità aperta) o futuri “preferibili” (i migliori in assoluto); al contrario essi hanno scelto di indirizzarsi verso futuri “probabili” (quelli che ci si aspetta) o “ragionevoli”. Pertanto, in questa giovane generazione, abbiamo scoperto non è solo immaginazione e ricchezza di idee, ma anche una notevole dose di concretezza.We can investigate interiors from many perspectives, such as: perception (Arnheim 1974, 1977), psychology (Hall 1966), poetics (Bachelard 1964), fiction (Perec 1998) and – obviously – the history of design. This essay is about how first year interior design students envision the future. This involves a four-month design-studio project, worked on by 60 students and guided by 5 teachers, at Politecnico di Milano in 2017.
Italian designers have always made use of models or mock-ups of interiors for predicting future lifestyles (e.g. the “rooms” at Triennale di Milano since 1936 or Andrea Branzi’s mirrored dioramas). Our students were made to use a similar approach, and design a 1:20 scale model of a 20 m2 square room as part of a hypothetical exhibition about how we will live/work/ shop in 2027.
To understand the features of space, preliminary work was done on mock-ups of the room. Substantial data were collected about future trends. Several hypotheses were scrutinized. We expected the students to move – in Henchey’s words – from possible (any future) to preferable futures (the best that can be); they moved instead from probable (most likely to happen) to plausible (that make sense) futures (Henchey 1978). What we found in this young generation is not only imagination and abundance, but also concreteness
