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
Modélisation comportementale paramétrée de fonctions analogiques pour la simulation des systèmes de transmission, en technologie bipolaire
No full textLes concepteurs de circuits intégrés passent par des étapes de simulations qui leur permettent de réduire les coûts de fabrication. Cependant, dans le domaine analogique, l'intégration d'un grand nombre de fonctions rend souvent impossibles les simulations, à cause des problèmes de convergences et augmente considérablement les temps de simulations. Une solution consiste à remplacer lors des simulations, les blocs constitutifs de ces circuits par leurs modèles respectifs afin d'étudier le comportement des systèmes dans des temps très courts. L'objectif et l'originalité de ce travail de recherche consistent à réaliser des modèles d'ordre progressif de fonctions électroniques de base, très utilisées dans l'instrumentation et dans les télécommunications, tout en maintenant un compromis acceptable entre simplicité et précision. La technique de modélisation proposée consiste à créer des modèles simples, en ne considérant que les principaux paramètres intervenant dans la fonctionnalité de ces circuits. Nous présentons donc des macromodèles paramétrables de haut niveau d'un oscillateur contrôlé en tension et d'une boucle à verrouillage de phase. Partant de leur topologie en technologie bipolaire, nous réalisons des modèles d'ordre variable, valables quelle que soit la zone de fonctionnement qui prennent en compte les incertitudes des paramètres principaux des transistors (courant de saturation, gain direct en courant) et les variations en température. Les modèles réalisés sont utilisés dans le simulateur PSPICE, et sont validés par comparaisin de résultats de simulations avec les mesures effectuées avec IC-CAP. L'ensemble de l'étude montre que la technique de modélisation proposée permet de développer des modèles de haut niveau de fonctions électroniques complexes, qui ne consomment pas trop de temps de calcul tout en gardant une bonne précision.TOULOUSE-ENSEEIHT (315552331) / SudocSudocFranceF
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
Contribution to the design and the elaboration of a microsensor for biomolecules in liquid medium coupling Love waves and porous matrix
No full textLes capteurs à ondes de Love sont utilisés dans une large gamme d’applications en milieu liquide, avec des sensibilités très importantes. Néanmoins, ceux-ci ne permettent pas, encore aujourd’hui, de détecter des molécules de très faibles poids telles que les cyanotoxines. Ces travaux de thèse portent sur l’utilisation de couches mésoporeuses d’oxyde de titane sur un capteur à ondes de Love afin d’améliorer sa sensibilité. Après avoir obtenu un nouveau modèle conceptuel du capteur permettant d’enrichir sa réponse, sa sensibilité à des effets de variations rhéologiques et diélectriques est quantifiée en milieu liquide. Ces résultats sont ensuite utilisés pour obtenir un ensemble de modèles par éléments finis, venant compléter notre « boite à outils ». Enfin, plusieurs méthodes de dépôt de couches mésostructurées en films minces sont étudiées. Les capteurs ainsi obtenus sont caractérisés en milieu liquide et permettent de conclure sur une amélioration des performances en sensibilité sous un certain nombre de conditions. Ces conditions sont étudiées à l'aide des modèles par éléments finis et permettent de tracer une voie d’optimisation des capteurs à ondes de Love utilisant des couches mésostructurées.Love wave sensors are used in a wide range of applications in liquid medium, offering very high sensitivities. However, still today, they are not able to detect very low weight molecules such as cyanotoxins. These thesis works focus on the use of mesoporous titanium oxide layers on a Lov wave sensor in order to improve its sensitivity.A new conceptual model of the sensor is proposed, enabling the enrich ment of its response and then the quantification of its sensitivity to rheological and dielectric variations of a liquid medium. These results are used to obtain a set of Finite Element models, completing our“toolbox“. Finally, several methods of mesostructured thin film layers deposition are studied. The so-obtained sensors are characterized in a liquid medium and demonstrate the improvement of the sensitivity performance under some conditions. The further use of finite element models highlights optimization strategies for Love wave sensors using mesostructured layers
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
