    MeSH term explosion and author rank improve expert recommendations

    No full text
    Information overload is an often-cited phenomenon that reduces the productivity, efficiency and efficacy of scientists. One challenge for scientists is to find appropriate collaborators in their research. The literature describes various solutions to the problem of expertise location, but most current approaches do not appear to be very suitable for expert recommendations in biomedical research. In this study, we present the development and initial evaluation of a vector space model-based algorithm to calculate researcher similarity using four inputs: 1) MeSH terms of publications; 2) MeSH terms and author rank; 3) exploded MeSH terms; and 4) exploded MeSH terms and author rank. We developed and evaluated the algorithm using a data set of 17,525 authors and their 22,542 papers. On average, our algorithms correctly predicted 2.5 of the top 5/10 coauthors of individual scientists. Exploded MeSH and author rank outperformed all other algorithms in accuracy, followed closely by MeSH and author rank. Our results show that the accuracy of MeSH term-based matching can be enhanced with other metadata such as author rank

    New Land Accretion From 2000-2003 at Segara Anakan Lagoon, South Coast of West and Central Java

    Segara Anakan Lagoon is an unique lagoon , where a lot of rivers enter into the lagoon such as Citanduy, Cibeureum, Cijolang, Cikawung and Ciseel Rivers. These rivers bring the sediment materials from upstream to the lagoon areas and resisted by Nusa Kambangan Island. The rate of sediment transportation every year occurred continuously and significantly. Its caused the creation of new land at eastern part of Segara Anakan Lagoon was about 376.69 hectares which is located at Cilacap District, while in the western part is about 15,78 hectares which is located at Ciamis District. Since 1999 to 2003 land accretion at Segara Anakan Lagoon was about 392.47 hectares with the rate of accretion around 78.50 hectares/year. In 1999 the area of the Segara Anakan Lagoon approximately 1,595 hectares. Based on the averages of rate land accretion, its predicted that in the middle of the 2019 whole of Segara Anakan will be land. The study had been done in 2003 by using hand drilling up to 2 meters depth, grab sampler and GPS Garmin 250 Map. The hand drilling result at accretion area, show that at eastern part of study area is composed of silt and cly, while at Nusawere Bay and Solok Jero is characterized by fine to coarse sand. Keywords : sediment materials, accretion area, and Segara Anakan Segara Anakan merupakan sebuah laguna yang unik dimana banyak sungai yang bermuara di perairan tersebut seperti Citanduy, Cibeureum Cimuntur, Cijolang, Cikawung, dan Ciseel. Sungai-sungi tersebut membawa material sedimen dari daerah aliran hulu ke kawasan laguna yang tertahan oleh Pulau Nusa Kambangan. Transportasi sedimen berlangsung terus menerus dengan laju pertambahan dari tahun ke tahun cenderung meningkat secara signifikan. Akibatnya terjadi pertambahan daratan di perairan Segara Anakan bagian timur sekitar 376,69 hektar yang termasuk wilayah Kabupaten Cilacap dan di bagian barat sekitar 15,78 hektar yang terletak di wilayah Kabupaten Ciamis. Sejak 1999 – 2003, total luas pertambahan daratan di perairan Segara Anakan sekitar 392,47 hektar dengan perkiraan laju pertambahan daratan sekitar 78,50 hektar/tahun. Tahun 1999 luas Perairan Segara Anakan kurang lebih 1

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    No full text
    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

    Pola Dinamis Penurunan Hasil Tangkapan Udang Akibat Pengendapan Dan Limbah Industri Di Kawasan Segara Anakan (Dynamic Pattern of Degradation of Shrimps Catch as an Effect of Sedimentation and Industrial Waste in Segara Anakan)

    Segara Anakan, Cilacap Regency is an important marine fisheries producer in Central Java Province, especially for shrimps. The objective of this study were to analyze the production and fishing ground of shrimps, to analyze dynamic patterns of shrimps cat ch affected by sedimentation and industrial waste in Segara Anakan, and to develop intervention option to the degradation of shrimp catch as well. Some methods were used in this study such as descriptive method, geographic information system, and dynamic model approach included the test of model structural stability and performance. In 2002–2013, the highest production of shrimps in the Segara Anakan was in 2006 (2263.0 ton) and the lowest was in 2010 (884.7 ton). Fishing ground of shrimp in the Segara Anakan already had high total suspended solid, and also low contaminated oil and lead (Pb). Results of dynamic model analysis showed that shrimp catch degraded exponentially along with the increasing of sediment accumulation and industrial waste. Shrimps production in 2013 was 1147.8 tons, and might decrease 43.04 % to be 653.8 tons over 75 years later without intervention. If the model was intervenced by fishing open -close system and limited acces fishing ground, hence shrimps catch showing stable around 902.2–929.1 ton every year. While if the intervention was conducted by the stopping of industrial waste to Segara Anakan, hence shrimps catch only decrease 13.00 % to be 998.6 tons over 75 years later

    "Closing the R&D Gap, Evaluating the Sources of R&D Spending"

    No full text
    Both spending and tax policies have been implemented in the United States with the goal of stimulating private sector research and development (R&D). Karier questions whether current R&D policy, especially the research and experimentation tax credit, can contribute to closing the gap between nondefense expenditures on R&D in the United States and such expenditures in other countries, such as Japan and Germany. He also explores possible changes to our current R&D policy to make it more effective.

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    No full text
    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
