THE MID-QUATERNARY CLIMATIC TRANSITION AS THE FREE RESPONSE OF A 3-VARIABLE DYNAMIC-MODEL
No full textA simplified version of a previously described dynamical model governing global ice mass, atmospheric carbon dioxide, and mean ocean temperature (that may also be a proxy for some other CO2-controlling oceanic variable, eg nutrient supply) is shown to possess solutions, in a realistic parameter range, that can replicate the main features of the climatic variations implied by the full, 2Ma, Quaternary oxygen isotope record. The model contains only 3 free parameters in this simplified form. No external earth-orbital forcing is prescribed; ie the model represents only internal dynamics. The present results, therefore, constitute a first-order account for the existence of the 'ice age' fluctuations over the last 2Ma, including the concomitant variations of atmospheric CO2. The variations of mean ocean temperature (or a related CO2-controlling proxy variable) are also deduced and represent a side prediction of the model
Structural stochastic stability of a simple auto-oscillatory climatic feedback system.
No full textBased on a more detailed model developed previously, governing possible feedbacks between sea ice extent (eta), deep-ocean temperature (theta), and atmospheric carbon dioxide, we have constructed a simple, deterministic, dynamical system for eta and theta that yields a stable limit cycle as a solution. To make the system more realistic we add random (white noise) forcing and explore the new response as a function of the amplitude of this stochastic forcing. -from Author
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
Long period free oscillations in a three-component climate model.
No full textWe show how the prototypical models governing the unforced components of the variability can be deduced from a more general three-variable model involving an additional variable that is a measure of the underside, near-ice edge ocean temperature, and how this three-variable model can itself plausibly exhibit long term oscillations of about 100 000 years even though the time constants involved are only of the order of 10 000 years.-from Author

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
Velocity Spectra in the Unstable Planetary Boundary Layer
No full textModels for velocity spectra of all three components in the lower half of the unstable PBL are presented. The model spectra are written as a sum of two parts, nS(n) = A(fi, z/zi)w*2 + B(f, z/zi)u*02, a mixed layer part with a stability dependence, and a surface layer part without stability dependence and with negligible influence of z/zi in B in the surface layer; A is independent of z/zi for the horizontal components. The model agrees very well with data for variances, peak frequencies and spectra from the Kansas and Minnesota experiments. Requirements for models of spectra in the upper half of the PBL are outlined qualitatively only

Pragmatic Case Studies as a Source of Unity in Applied Psychology
No full textTo unify or not to unify applied psychology: that is the question. In this article we review pendulum swings in the historical efforts to answer this question—from a comprehensive, positivist, “top-down,” deductive yes between the 1930s and the early 60s, to a postmodern no since then. A rationale and proposal for a limited, “bottom-up,” inductive yes in applied psychology is then presented, employing a case-based paradigm that integrates both positivist and postmodern themes and components. This paradigm is labeled “pragmatic psychology” and, its specific use of case studies, the “Pragmatic Case Study Method” (“PCS Method”). We call for the creation of peer-reviewed journal-databases of pragmatic case studies as a foundational source of unifying applied knowledge in our discipline. As one example, the potential of the PCS Method for unifying different angles of theoretical regard is illustrated in an area of applied psychology, psychotherapy, via the case of Mrs. B. The article then turns to the broader historical and epistemological arguments for the unifying nature of the PCS Method in both applied and basic psychology.Peer reviewe
