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
Mechanochemical Synthesis of low F-Doped Aluminium Hydroxide Fluorides
Get PDFDie Mechanochemie ist eine effekive und überzeugende Methode zur Herstellung von Alumniumhydroxidfluoriden (Al(OH)3-xFx) mit einem sehr geringen Fluorgehalt. Durch den Prozess des Mahlens werden strukturelle Defekte in den Kristalliten erzeugt, die zu einer zunehmenden Amorphisierung des Kristallsystems führen. Die partielle Fluorierung von Alumniumhydroxid während des Mahlprozesses führt dabei zu einer noch stärkeren Amorphisierung und zur Bildung von Alumniumhydroxyfluoriden. Eine wichtige Rolle bei der resultierenden Produktzusammensetzung spielt die Variation der Synthesebedingungen, wie der Grad der Fluorierung, der Dauer des Mahlprozesses und des Wassergehalt der Edukte.
Folglich wurde zuerst der Einfluss von Wasser und dessen Bedeutung durch die verschiedenen Kombinationen von Oxid- und Hydroxid- (Al(OH)3, Al2O3), sowie Fluorid-Quellen mit oder ohne Kristallwasser (β-AlF3.3H2O, α-AlF3) bei der mechanochemischen Synthese von hochgestörten Alumniumhydroxidfluoriden untersucht.
Um den optimalen Fluorierungsgrad zu ermitteln, wurden verschiedene Aluminiumhydroxidfluoride mit Al/F-Molverhältnissen von 1:1.5 bis 1:0.05 über die mechanochemische Syntheseroute hergestellt. Eine tiefergehende Charakterisierung der Struktur- und Oberflächeneigenschaften der entsprechenden Produkte erfolgte mittels XRD, 27Al- und 19F-Festkörper-NMR, thermischer Analyse, Stickstoffabsorptions- und Zeta Potentialmessungen. Mit γ-Al(OH)3 und β-AlF3•3H2O als Hydroxid- und Fluorid-Quellen wurden dabei ab einem Verhältnis Al:F von 1:0.25 und hin zu höheren Fluoridanteilen besonders ungeordnete Strukturen erzeugt. Der Fluorierungsgrad betrifft dabei besonders die Ausbildung von 4- und 5-fach koordinierten Al-Zentren, die sonst nicht in den Edukten vorkommen. Diese Spezies beeinflussen die Bildung von Alumniumoxid und ermöglichen den Phasenübergang zu α-Al2O3 schon bei tieferen Temperaturen.
Der Einfluss der Mahldauer auf die Struktur und Oberfläche wurde am Beispiel von γ-Al2O3 im Detail untersucht. Die mechanochemische Synthese beeinflusst dabei die Absorption von Fluor an der Grenzschicht von γ-Al2O3 zu Wasser stark. Die Dauer des Mahlprozesses gewinnt daher einen großen Einfluss auf die entstehenden Produkte. Da Fluor nicht im Bulk von γ-Al2O3 vorkommt, kann mit der 19F-Festkörper-NMR eine Zuordnung der unterschiedlichen an der Oberfläche adsorbierten F-Spezies getroffen werden.The mechanochemical approach opens a reliable and effective strategy for the formation of aluminium hydroxide fluorides with a very low F-content. Milling has the effect of introducing structural defects, causing amorphisation. The fluorination by milling creates a further and drastic increase of this degree of amorphisation.
Synthesis conditions (milling time, fluorination degree, water content) play a crucial role in the product composition.
Firstly, the significant role played by water in the mechanochemical synthesis of highly distorted aluminium hydroxide fluorides was evaluated. The importance of water in the synthesis was considered by a separated combination of O/OH sources (Al(OH)3, Al2O3) and fluorine sources with or without structural water (β-AlF3.3H2O, α-AlF3).
Concerning the degree of fluorination, different aluminium hydroxide fluorides with varying Al/F molar ratios from 1:1.5 up to 1:0.05 were successfully synthesized by mechanochemical reactions. The characterization of the products by XRD, 27Al and 19F MAS NMR, thermal analysis, nitrogen adsorption and zeta potential techniques allows a detailed understanding of the structure and surface properties of the products. Using γ-Al(OH)3 and β-AlF3•3H2O as OH- and F-sources, respectively, strongly disordered products were obtained with an Al: F molar ratio higher than 1:0.25. The degree of fluorination affects the amount of 4- and 5-fold coordinated Al sites, not present in the reactants. Obviously, these species affect the phase transition to alumina, by decreasing the transition temperature of the formation of α-Al2O3.
The influence of the milling time was considered by studying the power of a high energy ball milling process on the structure and at the surface of γ-Al2O3. The mechanochemical treatment strongly influences the adsorption of fluorine at the γ-Al2O3/ water interface. The time of the treatment has relevant importance on these processes. Since fluorine is not originally present in the bulk of γ-Al2O3, 19F MAS NMR studies allow the discrimination of different F-species adsorbed at the surface or present as metal fluoride particles in γ-Al2O3 powders after adsorption experiments
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
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.
