Unified mathematical treatment of complex cascaded bipartite networks: The case of collections of journal papers
No full textIn this study, a mathematical treatment is proposed for analysis of entities and relations among entities in
complex networks consisting of cascaded bipartite networks. This treatment is applied to the case of
collections of journal papers. In this case, entities are distinguishable objects and concepts, such as papers,
references, paper authors, reference authors, paper journals, reference journals, institutions, terms, and term
definitions. Relations are associations between entity-types such as papers and the references they cite, or
paper authors and the papers they write. An entity-relationship model is introduced that explicitly shows
direct links between entity-types and possible useful indirect relations. From this a matrix formulation and
generalized matrix arithmetic are introduced that allow easy expression of relations between entities and
calculation of weights of indirect links and co-occurrence links. Occurrence matrices, equivalence
matrices, membership matrices and co-occurrence matrices are described. A dynamic model of growth
describes recursive relations in occurrence and co-occurrence matrices as papers are added to the paper
collection. Graph theoretic matrices are introduced to allow information flow studies of networks of papers
linked by their citations. Similarity calculations and similarity fusion are explained. Derivation of feature
vectors for pattern recognition techniques is presented. The relation of the proposed mathematical
treatment to seriation, clustering, multidimensional scaling, and visualization techniques is discussed. It is
shown that most existing bibliometric analysis techniques for dealing with collections of journal papers are
easily expressed in terms of the proposed mathematical treatment: co-citation analysis, bibliographic
coupling analysis, author co-citation analysis, journal co-citation analysis, Braam-Moed-vanRaan (BMV)
co-citation/co-word analysis, latent semantic analysis, hubs and authorities, and multidimensional scaling.
This report discusses an extensive software toolkit that was developed for this research for analyzing and
visualizing entities and links in a collection of journal papers. Additionally, an extensive case study is
presented, analyzing and visualizing 60 years of anthrax research through a collection of journal papers.
When dealing with complex networks that consist of cascaded bipartite networks, the treatment presented
here provides a general mathematical framework for all aspects of analysis of static network structure and
network dynamic growth. As such, it provides a basic paradigm for thinking about and modeling such
networks: computing direct and indirect links, expressing and analyzing statistical distributions of network
characteristics, describing network growth, deriving feature vectors, clustering, and visualizing network
structure and growth
Special Section Guest Editorial: Pioneer in Biomedical Optics: Introduction to the Special Section in Honor of Steven L. Jacques
No full textThis guest editorial introduces the special section honoring Prof. Steven L. Jacques.
We present this special section of the Journal of Biomedical Optics in honor of Steven L. Jacques, PhD, a leading pioneer in the field of biomedical optics. In the late eighties, Steve was part of a small group of researchers from various disciplines who clearly saw the potential of light and optics for new approaches to medical diagnostics and treatment of various diseases. Since then the field has grown exponentially and biomedical optics has become an integral part in many medical disciplines. Through his work and many seminal contributions, Steve has actively shaped this development

Steven Shapin
No full textWhat does it mean to be an academic? A public intellectual? What is the role of the universities today? Who better to ask than the people who for decades have worked, taught, struggled and lived in these places. Steven Shapin is the Franklin L. Ford Research Professor of the History of Science at Harvard University. He was part of the Science Studies Unit at Edinburgh University in the 1970s and went on to co-author the influential Leviathan and the Air-Pump: Hobbes, Boyle, and the Experimental Life. In this book you can read about his journey through the heydays of Science Studies and his thoughts on the future of universities. In the Questions & Afthoughts series you will meet some of the finest and most distinguished senior professors—you will meet living history. They are interviewed by young graduate students, who are eager to learn from past experiences of trial and error in academia, both professionally and personally.What does it mean to be an academic?

Motivation and background
Manual evaluation of a sperm sample using a microscope is time-consuming and requires costly experts who have extensive training. In addition, the validity of manual sperm analysis becomes unreliable due to limited reproducibility and high inter-personnel variations due to the complexity of tracking, identifying, and counting sperms in fresh samples. The existing computer-aided sperm analyzer systems are not working well enough for application in a real clinical setting due to unreliability caused by the consistency of the semen sample. Therefore, we need to research new methods for automated sperm analysis.
Target group
The task is of interest to researchers in the areas of machine learning (classification and detection), visual content analysis, and multimodal fusion. Overall, this task is intended to encourage the multimedia community to help improve the health care system through the application of their knowledge and methods to reach the next level of computer and multimedia-assisted diagnosis, detection, and interpretation.
