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
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
The role of the electron recoiling mechanism in coherent light high-order harmonics generation: from the source to the applications
Get PDF2008/2009I processi di generazione di armoniche di ordine superiore (High-order Harmonic Generation o HHG) in gas inerti rappresentano, attualmente, la tecnica piu` promettente per la creazione di impulsi di luce coerente nell'estremo ultra-violetto (EUV) in una configurazione table-top. I processi HHG si basano sull'interazione non-lineare, tra impulsi laser ultra-corti, tipicamente dell'ordine della decina di femtosecondi, e atomi di gas inerti.
Le caratteristiche che distinguono i processi HHG sono la loro durata temporale, che puo` essere nel dominio degli attosecondo e il fatto che l'interazione e` non perturbativa.
Invece, la natura quantistica dei processi HHG implica la presenza di meccanismi di diffusione che influenzano la funzione d'onda dell'elettrone atomico coinvolto nell'interazione con il campo laser. Il ruolo della diffusione viene usualmente trascurato nella letteratura corrente, sebbene quest'ultima sia strettamente legata al controllo dell'efficienza del processo HHG e dello stato di polarizzazione dei fotoni generati.
Il lavoro di tesi e` focalizzato sullo studio sperimentale e teorico/fenomenologico del ruolo dei meccanismi di diffusione, e sul loro controllo, al fine di incrementare l'efficienza e la qualita` ottica, i.e. coerenza, struttura temporale, etc., dei fotoni HHG prodotti.
Gli studi e gli esperimenti condotti forniscono, in base alla nostra attuale conoscenza, la prima dimostrazione quantitativa a supporto del modello di Leweinstein. Accanto alla caratterizzazione spettrale, viene presentato uno studio accurato circa le condizioni minime necessarie a generare impulsi HHG, sempre legate al ruolo della diffusione della funzione d'onda elettronica. I risultati hanno permesso di ottenere una piu` profonda comprensione della complessa dinamica non-lineare, che sta alla base dei processi HHG.
Accanto allo studio della diffusione si e` cercato di ottenere il controllo sullo stato di polarizzazione degli impulsi HHG, i quali mantengono la polarizzazione della radiazione laser utilizzata. La stessa diffusione impedisce di creare efficientemente armoniche di ordine superiore con polarizzazione ellittica (o circolare).
Per risovere questo problema e` stata abbiamo sviluppato una collaborazione con il gruppo CXRO del Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, (Berkeley, USA), grazie al quale sono state realizzate una serie di ottiche multistrati innovative basate sul principio dell'angolo di Brewster, e disegnate appositamente per polarizzare circolarmente impulsi di luce EUV. Queste ultime sono state preliminarmente testate con successo sulla beam-line 6.3.2 del sincrotrone di Berkeley.
La parte finale della tesi presenta la prima sorgente di impulsi HHG, polarizzati circolarmente utilizzando i citati multistrati. Per verificare l'efficienza e` di questi multistrati e` stato condotto un esperimento di dicroismo magnetico circolare con radiazioni EUV (EUV-MCD), unico nel sul genere, in quanto utilizza gli impulsi HHG polarizzati circolarmente per sondare il comportamento dicroico in corrispondenza delle soglie di assorbimento M di metalli ferromagnetici come Fe e Ni o delle loro leghe. Il fine ultimo e` dato dalla realizzazione di un esperimento risolto in tempo capace di utlizzare impulsi HHG circolarmente polarizzati per comprendere il processo di demagnetizzazione di sistemi ferromagnetici, sulla scala temporale del femtosecondo.XXII Ciclo198
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.
