Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe 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
"Closing the R&D Gap, Evaluating the Sources of R&D Spending"
No full textBoth 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.
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe 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

Mass and p-factor of the type II cepheid OGLE-LMC-T2CEP-098 in a Binary System
No full textWe present the results of a study of the type II Cepheid (P-puls = 4.974 days) in the eclipsing binary system OGLELMC- T2CEP-098 (P-orb = 397.2 days). The Cepheid belongs to the peculiar W Vir group, for which the evolutionary status is virtually unknown. It is the first single-lined system with a pulsating component analyzed using the method developed by Pilecki et al. We show that the presence of a pulsator makes it possible to derive accurate physical parameters of the stars even if radial velocities can be measured for only one of the components. We have used four different methods to limit and estimate the physical parameters, eventually obtaining precise results by combining pulsation theory with the spectroscopic and photometric solutions. The Cepheid radius, mass, and temperature are 25.3 +/- 0.2 R-circle dot, 1.51 +/- 0.09 M-circle dot, and 5300 +/- 100 K, respectively, while its companion has a similar size (26.3 R-circle dot), but is more massive (6.8 M-circle dot) and hotter (9500 K). Our best estimate for the p-factor of the Cepheid is 1.30 +/- 0.03. The mass, position on the period-luminosity diagram, and pulsation amplitude indicate that the pulsating component is very similar to the Anomalous Cepheids, although it has a much longer period and is redder in color. The very unusual combination of the components suggest that the system has passed through a mass-transfer phase in its evolution. More complicated internal structure would then explain its peculiarity.Polish National Science Center, SONATA 2014/15/D/ST9/02248 / BASAL Centro de Astrofisica y Tecnologias Afines,

The villa designed by Rudolf Fränkel, in Smolec near Wrocław
No full textTa dotąd zupełnie nieznana w polskiej literaturze willa powstała w latach 1931–1932. Reprezentuje koncepcję budowania organicznego, sformułowaną w 1925 r. przez Hugona Häringa. Projekt wykonał Rudolf Fränkel będący wówczas wschodzącą gwiazdą berlińskiej architektury, autor kilku luksusowych willi, ale przede wszystkim berlińskich osiedli mieszkaniowych, m.in. osiedla Atlantic z pięciuset mieszkaniami, zapleczem rekreacyjnym i kinem „Lichtburg”. Jego znakomicie zapowiadająca się kariera architektoniczna została jednak w 1933 r., ze względu na żydowskie pochodzenie, w dramatycznych okolicznościach przerwana. Zleceniodawcą podwrocławskiej willi był Robert Stern, ogrodnik o wyrobionym guście artystycznym i dużych aspiracjach, który w Brochowie (obecnie dzielnica Wrocławia) prowadził ogrodnictwo, uczestniczył w wystawach ogrodniczych, zbierając doświadczenie i nagrody. Około 1930 r. swoje przedsiębiorstwo przeniósł na obrzeża Smolca, a nad stawem, na dużej posesji wzniósł willę. Villa rustica o znakomitych, niemalże palladiańskich proporcjach i luksusowych, indywidualnie aranżowanych wnętrzach została zaprojektowana od wnętrza na zewnątrz, jej pomieszczenia powiązano z ukształtowaniem terenu i roztaczającym się z dwóch tarasów szerokim widokiem na staw i zieloną okolicę. Bardzo dobrej jakości zdjęcia willi wykonane przez fotografa Maxa Krajewskiego, stale współpracującego z architektem, zamieszczone w ówczesnej fachowej prasie dają wyobrażenie o jej pierwotnym kształcie i komforcie, dostosowanym do oczekiwań właścicieli. Dom, choć bardzo przebudowany, nadal jest zamieszkany. Artykuł przedstawia wszystkie dostępne informacje o kształcie i detalach architektonicznych willi, jej projektancie oraz pierwszych właścicielach.This, to date completely unknown in Polish literature, villa was built in 1931–1932, representing the concept of organic building (organhaftes Bauen), formulated in 1925 by Hugo Häring. The design was created by an architect, being then a rising star of the Berlin architecture, the designer of several luxury villas, but above all Berlin housing estates, including the Atlantic estate with five hundred apartments, leisure facilities and the “Lichtburg” cinema. The very promising architectural career of Fränkl was interrupted in dramatic circumstances in 1933 due to his Jewish ancestors. Fränkl’s employer and the villa’s owner was Robert Stern, a horticulturist with refined taste and high artistic aspirations, who in Brochów (now a quarter of Wrocław) ran a horticulture enterprise and who participated in horticultural exhibitions collecting both experience and awards. Around 1930 he moved his company to the outskirts of Smolec and at the pond, within a large estate he built the villa, designed by Fränkl. This villa rustica with excellent, almost Palladian, proportions and luxurious, individually decorated interiors was designed from the inside to the outside, its spaces were linked with the landscape and a panoramic view of the pond and the nature from two large terraces. Photographs of very good quality taken by the photographer Max Krajewski constantly cooperating with the architect, published in the contemporary architecture magazines give an idea of its original shape and comfort, adapted to the expectations of the owners. The house, although strongly rebuilt, still exists. The article presents all available information about the shape and architectural details of the villa, its designer and oryginal owners
