Towards a sustainable community: applying Xing-shi Feng-shui pattern to reshape community structure in West Don Lands
Full text linkThis thesis explores the application of Xing-shi Feng-shui Form School pattern to enhance sustainability in community design. Case study review yielded an understanding of the forms and patterns that resulted from application of Xing-shi Feng-shui in ancient cities in China. Through a review of literature on sustainable development movements, design principles were identified and used to assess the existing design plan for the West Don Lands community in Toronto. Identification of site issues and assessment of the potential for application of Xing-shui Feng-shui pattern led to development of a modified plan for the site. The LEED - ND rating system was used to evaluate both the existing plan and the modified plan to assess the extent to which each met objective measures of sustainability. This research contributes to an understanding of the potential contribution of Xing-shi Feng-shui concepts to enhance sustainable community design

Global hybrid simulation of mode conversion at the dayside magnetopause
Full text linkMode conversion at the magnetopause has been suggested to lead to the generation of kinetic Alfven waves (KAWs) and effective mass transport from the solar wind into the magnetosphere. To investigate the mode conversion process in the dynamic dayside system, a 3D global hybrid simulation associated with a quasiparallel shock under a radial interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) is carried out, in which the foreshock compressional pulses are selfconsistently generated by the interaction between the solar wind and the geomagnetic field. The results show that as the compressional pulses propagate from the magnetosheath to the magnetopause, shortwavelength structures of k(i)approximate to 0.5-1 with enhanced parallel electric field E-vertical bar are excited in the subsolar magnetopause boundary layer (MPBL), where k similar or equal to k(x) is the perpendicular waves number nearly along the GSE x direction, and (i) is the ion Larmor radius. The wavephase relationship between the magnetic field and the density changes from inphase in the magnetosheath to antiphase in the shortwavelength MPBL perturbations. The wave polarization is predominantly compressive in the magnetosheath, whereas strong transverse wave powers appear abruptly around the MPBL. The mode conversion from the compressional pulses to KAWs is identified around the predicted Alfven resonance surface in the MPBL. As these KAWs evolve, KAW modes dominated by azimuthal wave number with k(yi)approximate to 1 are also generated. The KAWs in the MPBL are identified by the sharp increases in E-vertical bar and the electromagnetic field polarization relations of Alfven mode, as well as a spectral analysis. The KAW perturbations propagate poleward into the cusps along the MPBL. Due to the differential flow convection speeds at various latitudes, the KAW packets expand along the northsouth direction, while they may also merge with newlyformed KAWs due to newlyarrived compressional waves.PublishedYe
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
