Η Ελληνική βάση δεδομένων σεισμογενών πηγών: σεισμοτεκτονικές συνέπειες για τη Βόρεια Ελλάδα
No full textThe Greek area is one of the most tectonically and seismically active regions worldwide, resulting in the occurrence of plenty active tectonic structures, some of which have been thoroughly studied, some less, while some others still remain unexplored. This results in the existence of a wide variety of data from various surveys, both in quantity and quality, which are either diffused or hidden within the voluminous literature. This heterogeneity makes finding information a difficult and time-consuming process, making the design and compilation of a geodatabase necessary. The creation of such a geodatabase in this thesis is not only useful for scientific purposes, such as the suggestion of geodynamic models or the interpretation of the seismotectonic behavior of various areas. Seismic hazard assessment, which has a direct socio-economic impact, is another important research field for which a database can be an integral tool.Two parameters of active tectonic structures that are overwhelmingly absent from the available literature and attempted to be determined in this thesis: the maximum depth to which active faults reach and the slip-rate. For the former, rheological profiles were calculated to determine the brittle-ductile transition zone, and for the latter, fundamental mathematical equations of deformation were combined with imported data from the main strain axes of the broader Aegean resulting from GPS measurements.The Greek Database of Seismogenic Sources is a multi-tool which, among other things, can be used, as attempted in this thesis, in various geodynamic-seismotectonic models, in the determination of static stresses changes and ground displacement after fault slip - seismic activity, and for the contribution to seismic hazard.Ο Ελλαδικός χώρος ανήκει στις πιο τεκτονικά και σεισμικά ενεργές περιοχές παγκοσμίως, με αποτέλεσμα να συναντάται μια πληθώρα ενεργών τεκτονικών δομών από τις οποίες κάποιες έχουν μελετηθεί ενδελεχώς, κάποιες λιγότερο, ενώ κάποιες άλλες παραμένουν ακόμα ανεξερεύνητες. Αυτό έχει ως αποτέλεσμα την ύπαρξη μιας μεγάλης ποικιλίας δεδομένων από διάφορες έρευνες, τόσο σε ποσότητα όσο και σε ποιότητα, τα οποία είναι είτε διάχυτα ή κρυμμένα μέσα στην πολυάριθμη βιβλιογραφία. Η ανομοιογένεια αυτή κάνει την ανεύρεση πληροφοριών, μια δύσκολη και χρονοβόρο διαδικασία, με αποτέλεσμα η δημιουργία μιας βάσης δεδομένων να φαίνεται αναγκαία. Η δημιουργία μιας τέτοιας γεωβάσης που επιχειρήθηκε στη παρούσα διατριβή δεν είναι χρήσιμη μόνο για επιστημονικούς σκοπούς, όπως π.χ. για τη δημιουργία γεωδυναμικών μοντέλων ή την ερμηνεία της σεισμοτεκτονικής συμπεριφοράς διαφόρων περιοχών. Η εκτίμηση της σεισμικής επικινδυνότητας, η οποία και έχει άμεσο κοινωνικοοικονομικό αντίκτυπο, είναι μία ακόμη σημαντική έρευνα για την οποία μια βάση δεδομένων μπορεί να αποτελέσει αναπόσπαστο εργαλείο.Δύο παράμετροι των ενεργά τεκτονικών δομών που συντριπτικά απουσιάζουν από τη διαθέσιμη βιβλιογραφία και επιχειρήθηκε να προσδιοριστούν στη παρούσα διατριβή είναι το μέγιστο βάθος στο οποίο τα ενεργά ρήγματα φτάνουν και ο ρυθμός ολίσθησης. Για το πρώτο πραγματοποιήθηκαν ρεολογικά προφίλ για τον προσδιορισμό της θραυσιγενούς-πλαστικής ζώνης μετάβασης και για το δεύτερο συνδυάστηκαν θεμελιώδεις μαθηματικές εξισώσεις της παραμόρφωσης με εισαγόμενα δεδομένα από τους κύριους άξονες παραμόρφωσης του Ελλαδικού χώρου που προκύπτουν από μετρήσεις GPS.Η Ελληνική Βάση Δεδομένων Σεισμογενών Πηγών αποτελεί ένα πολύ-εργαλείο το οποίο μεταξύ άλλων μπορεί να χρησιμοποιηθεί, όπως επιχειρήθηκε στη παρούσα διατριβή, σε διάφορα γεωδυναμικά-σεισμοτεκτονικά μοντέλα, στον προσδιορισμό μεταβολής στατικών τάσεων και εδαφικών μετατοπίσεων μετά από ολίσθηση-σεισμική δράση, και για τη συμβολή στη σεισμική επικινδυνότητα
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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
Full text linkWe 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
Full text linkWe 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
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.
