Mineral chemistry of Ti-rich biotite from pegmatite and metapelitic granulites of the Kerala Khondalite Belt (southeast India): Petrology and further insight into titanium substitutions
Precise chemical composition, including Fe3+ and H, of biotite from a pegmatite dike and its host granulite from the Kerala Khondalite Belt of SE India has been determined using a multi-technique approach involving EMP, SIMS, Mossbauer, and C-H-N elemental analysis. Biotite in these rocks formed at T> 800-850 degrees C and P = 5 +/- 1 kbar.
The full analyses were normalized on the basis of [O12-(x+y+z)(OH)(x)ClyFz]. Biotite in the pegmatite is Ti-, F-, and Cl-rich (0.33, 0.46, and 0.16 apfu, respectively), H2O-Poor (OH = 0.86 pfu), has X-Mg= 0.49 and Fe3+/Fe-tot <= 3%. The low octahedral vacancies (0.06 pfu) and the high oxygen content in the hydroxyl site (OH + F + Cl = 1.49 pfu) confirm the role of the Ti-oxy substitution as a major exchange vector in these high-T biotites.
In the host granulite, fine-grained biotite is Fe3+-free, has low Cl (0.03 apfu), and more variable composition, with Ti, F, and X-Mg in the ranges 0.26-0.36, 0.52-0.67, and 0.67-0.77, respectively. The number of octahedral vacancies is relatively large (0.10-0.18 pfu) and the sum of volatiles (OH + F + Cl) varies from 1.71 to 2.06 pfu. Systematic variations of X-Mg are a function of the microstructural position and are in agreement with retrograde exchange reactions: biotite included in or in contact with garnet has the maximum values, whereas crystals in the matrix have the minima. Titanium has systematic negative correlations with F, X-Mg, and (OH + F + Cl), whereas Al and octahedral vacancies are virtually constant.
These trends indicate that the Ti-vacancy, along with substitutions involving Al, cannot explain the observed short-scale variations. Conversely, the Ti-oxy exchange appears to be active, resulting from combination of two vectors: the more conventional hydroxylation Ti4+ + 2O(2-) = (Fe,Mg)(2+) + 2OH(-) and the "fluorination" Ti4+ + 2O(2-) = (Fe,Mg)(2+) + 2F(-). The systematic retrograde redistribution involves not only Fe and Mg as commonly observed, but also Ti, F, and H, in a way such to eliminate the primary Ti-oxy component of biotite

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
The 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
“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
We 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
We 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
