Breaking Points ― A Continuously Developing Interactive Digital Narrative
No full textBreaking Points is an interactive digital narrative (IDN) that puts the user in the position of a young woman who feels trapped in a daily routine she would like to escape from. The narrative design connects more important decisions with seemingly trivial ones and presents the user with immediate and delayed consequence in the form of narrative feedback, for a complex and more life-like experience. By aligning the experience of a single walkthrough with a day in the life of the heroine, the project invites replay. The project is also a study of authorial challenges and opportunities offered by different authoring modes, namely the switch from coding from scratch to the ASAPS environment. As the project is prepared for release on touch-based tablets, the paper focuses on how changes in the underlying technology have afforded continuous reshaping of the narrative
Mapping the Evolving Space of Interactive Digital Narrative - From Artifacts to Categorizations
No full textCategorizing Interactive Digital Narrative (IDN) works is challenging because artistic and technological approaches constantly evolve. At the same time, a range of theoretical approaches from neo-Aristotelian perspectives to applications of post-classical narratology have applied many markedly different analytical perspectives, making an overall comparison difficult. This position paper expresses the need for novel, dynamic and multidimensional mappings and explores an early selection of categorizations for IDN works across different approaches
Towards mapping the evolving space of interactive digital narrative
No full textThis workshop explores future research directions towards a better categorization and comparison of IDN works, with the objective of a more adequate understanding of this evolving field. In such a multidisciplinary area, an effort is necessary to establish a shared space across different analytical perspectives and practical approaches. As a complement to a position paper presented at ICIDS 2013, the authors wish to demonstrate, discuss and improve multidimensional spatial mappings considering well-known IDN examples as well as novel cases from the periphery of the field
MeSH term explosion and author rank improve expert recommendations
Full text linkInformation 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
Introduction: Beyond the Holodeck: A Speculative Perspective on Future Practices
No full textThis chapter explains some of the exciting directions in the field of interactive digital narrative (IDN) by examining characteristics and current applications in three areas. It examines how interactive narratives are used in the context of creating compelling game experiences and suggest possible future directions. The chapter considers some relationships between interactive narrative and place-specific digital experiences, from current geolocalised apps to upcoming developments. It then discusses the application of IDN technologies to news reporting and documentary practices, along with possible perspectives for its developments in the next years. Partially overlapping with the fields of news gaming, serious gaming and interactive documentaries, some recent digital narrative projects aim to inform their audience or present political messages. Finally, new narrative experiments are bridging the gaps between different IDN forms-another case of hybridisation and cross-fertilisation within the field that testimonies its vitality
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
"Closing the R&D Gap, Evaluating the Sources of R&D Spending"
Full text linkBoth 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.

D. THESIS THE EFFECTS OF INOCULATION (Rhizobium phaseoli ) AND VARIOUS NITROGEN DOSES APPLICATION ON THE YIELD AND YIELD COMPENENTS OF ŞEHİRALİ - 90 (Phaseolus vulgaris L. var. nanus DEKAP) DRY BEAN VARIETY UNDER THRACE CONDITIONS ALI KARAHAN Thrace University Institute of Natural and Applied Sciences Department of Field Crops Supervisor : Prof. Dr. Sezen ŞEHİRALİ 1997, Page : 91 Jury: Prof. Dr. Sezen ŞEHİRALİ Jury: ProfDr.Cemalettin Y. ÇİFTÇİ Jury: Prof. Dr.Temel GEÇTAN This research was carriedout in at Tekirdağ İnanlı Agricultural Farm of General Directorate of State Farms from 1995 to 1996. The aim of the experiment was to determine the effects of inoculation ( Rhizobium phaseoli ) and nitrogen doses (0,2,4,6, 6+4 ) on the yield and yield components of "Şehirali - 90"( Phaseolus vulgaris L. var. nanus DEKAP. ) dry bean variety under Thrace conditions. The result of this research which were made as four replicates and split plots trial design are given below. The results which were obtained according to the inoculation and various nitrogen doses apücation of Şehirali -90 ( Phaseolus vulgaris L. var nanus DEKAP. ) dry bean variety were differ between in ;Plant height : 39.7 - 46.5 cm., number of leaf per plant :10.6 - 15.6 unit / plant, number of flower per plant : 3.1 - 6.2 unit / plant, number of pod per plant : 12.3 - 17.3 unit / plant, number of seed per pod : 2.46 - 3.21, 1000 seed weight : 461.5 - 525.2 gr, percentage of protein : 21.04 % - 23.50 %, protein yield : 38.70- 76.61 kg / da and grain yield : 181. 70 - 337.62 kg /da. According to the results obtained from relations between the characters investigated : İt was found significant and positive correlation between grain yield per decare and plant weight ( 0.399** ), number of pod per plant ( 0.354** ), number of seed per pod ( 0.538** ), 1000 seed weight ( 0.605** ), percentage of protein (0.287**) and Protein yield ( 0.949** ). According to the "Path" analyses in which grain yield per decare was taken as depandent variable, pod per plant ( 0.3393 ),plant height ( 0.4019 ), number of seed per pod ( 0.7143) and "1000" seed weight ( 0.7674 ) were found to be primary components which were directly and positively effective on yield. It's determined that suitable applications in regard with yield seed and economical combinations in bacteria inoculated conditions were 4 kgN /da in Şehirali -90 ( Phaseolus vulgaris L. var. nanus DEKAP. ) dry bean variety. On the otherhand, pod per plant, planth height, number of seed plant and "1000" seed weight are can be used as defendable selection criteria in dry bean breeding studies.

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
