Chile : its history and development natural features, products, commerce and present condictions / G. F. Scott Elliott
No full textEvents move apace, and already the fate of the Pacific looms great with possibilities for the near future of the world. The maritime rise if Japan, the impending construction of the Panama canal, and the exterior ambitions of the United States, will profoundly affect the position of all the Pacific powers. But whatever may befall, one thing is sure-that the natural position and advantages of Chile as a seafaring country must of necessity give it a large share of the increased commercial and maritime activity which may accrue from the rise of the Pacific in importance to the world.Chapter I : physical history of Chile -- Chapter II : prehistoric history of Chile -- Chapter III : the story of Pedro de Valdivia -- Chapter IV : the companions of Valdivia -- Chapter V : Indian wars and decision on a frontier 1585-1600 -- Chapter VI : Jesuit policy, indians, and dutch pirates 1600-1645 -- Chapter VII : araucanians, pirates, governors, and smugglers 1647-1700 -- Chapter VIII : development of Chile ambrose o'higgins -- Chapter IX : the revolution --Chapter X : the reconquest -- Chapter XI : the last days of royalist dominion -- Chapter XII : el amirante cochrane and O'higgins -- Chapter XIII : civil, peruvian, and spanism wars -- Chapter XV : balmaceda -- Chapter XVI : modern Chile -- Chapter XVII : nitrates and mines -- Chapter XVIII : Valparaiso and Santiago -- Chapter XIX : the frontier, Valdivia, and the great forest -- Chapter XX : Sandy point and the valley of lakes -- Chapter XXI : transports and communications -- Chapter XXII : exploration and discovery -- Chapter XXIII : the future of Chile363 p
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
Ilya Alexandrovich Musin: pedagogue, conductor, and author.
Get PDFThesis (D.M.A.)--Boston UniversityFor sixty-seven years, beginning in 1932 and ending with his death in 1999, llya
Alexandrovich Musin trained orchestral conductors at the Leningrad (later St. Petersburg)
Conservatory in the techniques which have since come to be known as the Leningrad
School of Orchestral Conducting. Due to matters both political and ethnic in nature,
Musin failed in securing a podium of his own. As a result, he turned to the classroom,
educating generations of conductors in a method of non-verbal communication which
finds its roots in the commonplace gestures of everyday life. Musin committed his entire
life to these methods, which he not only taught, but also included in his writings, four
volumes of which have been published to date.
Over the course of his lengthy career, Musin is thought to have taught over onehundred-
sixty conductors, roughly ninety of which would go on to become professional
conductors and teachers of conducting. From Musin's studio have come conductors
whose careers are visible and important, including Yuri Temirkanov, Valery Gergiev,
Semyon Bychkov, Martyn Brabbins, Sian Edwards, Oleg Proskurnya, Leonid Korchmar,
and Alexander Polishchuk, to name a few.
The purpose of this study is to document the musical and educational beliefs,
activities, and theories of Russian conducting pedagogue llya Alexandrovich Musin, to
examine his roles as pedagogue, conductor, and author, to apply his ideas to the
preparation of teacher/conductors and to provide possible solutions for solving problems
within the current system of conductor/teacher preparation. The importance of this study
lies in its potential for use in the field of music education, particularly for conductor
education and music teacher education. It is expected that this research will be valuable
to the academic community in tracing the pedagogical style and methods of an educator
whose career was both long and fruitful, and whose methods may be effective in solving
issues in the arena of teacher/conductor preparation
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
