Caractérisation de la source sismique à partir des données en champ proche. Application aux séismes de Tottori (Japon) et Boumerdes (Algérie)
No full textIsabelle Manighetti,Anne Deschamps,Jacques Déverchère,Karim Yelles,Hideo Aochi,Fabrice Cotton,Michel Campillo.The two earthquakes, which we chose to study in this thesis, are all the two produced on hidden and ignored faults. We used all the data available to specify the localization and the geometry of the faults having played at the time of the two earthquakes. The Tottori earthquake occurred on a strike-slip fault, the slip is superficial but no clear trace was observed on the surface. All the inversed models show a slip at the top of the fault thus contradicting the observations on the surface. We tested several models buried (compatible with the observations on the surface) at various depths. The results show that when the slip is authorized to occur close to surface, the agreement with the data is appreciably improved. These tests confirm that the slip occurred near to surface. The projection of the aftershocks on the fault plane shows that the distribution of the slip on the fault is controlled by a variation of the properties of the fault with the depth. The rupture during this earthquake seems to stop when meeting a perpendicular segment of fault. The same phenomenon (stopped rupture) is observed during the earthquake of Boumerdes. The localization of the fault of this event is possible due to GPS data. The position of fault suggested in this study, explains the observations well. The distribution of the slip on the fault after a two-step inversion shows that the rupture is bilateral with two zones of large slip. The calculation of the Coulomb stress variations shows a loading of the NW part of the Thénia fault, which is supposed to play a role in the stop of the rupture.Les deux séismes que nous avons choisis d'étudier se sont tous les deux produits sur des failles cachées et ignorées. Nous avons utilisé toutes les données disponibles pour préciser la localisation et la géométrie des failles ayant joué lors des deux séismes. Le séisme de Tottori s'est produit sur une faille en décrochement, le glissement est superficiel mais aucune trace claire n'a été observée en surface. Tous les modèles inversés montrent un glissement au sommet de la faille contredisant ainsi les observations en surface. Nous avons testé plusieurs modèles enterrés (compatibles avec les observations en surface) à différentes profondeurs. Les résultats montrent que lorsque le glissement est autorisé à se produire près de la surface, l'accord aux données est sensiblement amélioré. Ces tests confirment que le glissement s'est produit proche de la surface. La projection des répliques sur le plan de faille montre que la distribution du glissement sur la faille est contrôlée par une variation des propriétés de le faille avec la profondeur. La rupture lors de ce séisme semble s'arrêter à l'intersection avec un segment de faille perpendiculaire. Le même phénomène est observé pendant le séisme de Boumerdes. La localisation précise de la faille lors de cet événement est possible grâce aux données GPS. La position de faille proposée explique bien les observations. La distribution du glissement sur la faille après inversion en deux étapes, montre que la rupture est bilatérale avec deux zones de large glissement. Le calcul de la variation de contraintes de Coulomb, montre un chargement de la partie NW de la faille de Thénia, supposée jouer un rôle dans l'arrêt de la rupture

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
