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
REVIEW ON: RECENT TREND ON TRANSDERMAL DRUG DELIVERY SYSTEM
Get PDFToday about 74% of drugs are taken orally and are found not to be as effective as desired. To improve such characters transdermal drug delivery system was emerged. Drug delivery through the skin to achieve a systemic effect of a drug is commonly known as transdermal drug delivery and differs from traditional topical drug delivery. Transdermal drug delivery systems (TDDS) are dosage forms involves drug transport to viable epidermal and or dermal tissues of the skin for local therapeutic effect while a very major fraction of drug is transported into the systemic blood circulation. The adhesive of the transdermal drug delivery system is critical to the safety, efficacy and quality of the product. Topical administration of therapeutic agents offers many advantages over conventional oral and invasive methods of drug delivery. Several important advantages of transdermal drug delivery are limitation of hepatic first pass metabolism, enhancement of therapeutic efficiency and maintenance of steady plasma level of the drug
Detección de fallos y SVM basado en localización para líneas de transmisión trifásicas que utilizan componentes de fallo de secuencia positiva.
No full textTransmission lines are an imperative element of the modern power systems. Any faults in them can cause an undesirable interruption in power supply. Precise analysis of these faults is important in-order to ensure an incessant supply of power. For this purpose, fault detection and classification are needed to clear any such faults and re-establish the system to maintain its normal operation. In this paper, a novel integrated approach of protective relaying with enhanced support vector machine algorithm has been adopted for detecting faults and its location estimation in long transmission line. The proposed scheme is successfully able to detect and classify different symmetrical and unsymmetrical faults along with some peculiar cases related to High Impedance Faults (HIF) and evolving faults, current transformer (CT) saturation/ capacitive voltage transformer (CVT) transient, close-in faults, swing condition, source strength variation, etc. The comparative analysis with recent proposed techniques declared the potentiality and robustness of the schemeLas líneas de transmisión son un elemento imprescindible de los sistemas eléctricos modernos. Cualquier fallo en ellas puede provocar una interrupción indeseada del suministro eléctrico. El análisis preciso de estos fallos es importante para garantizar un suministro incesante de energía. Para ello, es necesario detectar y clasificar los fallos para eliminarlos y restablecer el funcionamiento normal del sistema. En este trabajo se ha adoptado un novedoso enfoque integrado de relés de protección con un algoritmo mejorado de máquinas de vectores soporte para detectar fallos y estimar su localización en líneas de transmisión largas. El esquema propuesto es capaz de detectar y clasificar con éxito diferentes faltas simétricas y asimétricas junto con algunos casos peculiares relacionados con faltas de alta impedancia (HIF) y faltas evolutivas, saturación del transformador de corriente (TC)/transitorio del transformador de tensión capacitivo (CVT), faltas cercanas, condición de oscilación, variación de la intensidad de la fuente, etc. El análisis comparativo con las últimas técnicas propuestas demuestra la potencialidad y robustez del sistema
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
