    HDF5 file contains an optical image, absorption spectrum, and composition for 179072 different metal oxide samples, as well as additional "blank" samples that characterize the background/substrate signal. The 2 txt files contain indeces of arrays in the h5 file that were used as the test and train sets for 10.1039/C8SC03077D.Related Publication: Machine learning of optical properties of materials - predicting spectra from images and images from spectra Stein, Helge Caltech Soedarmadji, Edwin Caltech Newhouse, Paul Caltech Guevarra, Dan Caltech Gregoire, John Caltech Chemical Science 2018-10-25 https://doi.org/10.1039/C8SC03077D en

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    Full text link
    The 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

    “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 link
    We 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

    Full text link
    We 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 text
    We 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

    Worst-Case Routing Performance Metrics for Sensor Networks

    Full text link
    Successful integration of pervasive sensor networks in mission critical applications depends on the ability of these networks to cope with and reasonably perform under the worst-case scenarios. One of the key performance measures is the network’s ability to route information from the source node to the intended destination. This paper introduces a general framework with which worst-case routing performance of sensor networks can be evaluated and compared. Ultimately, our method can either be used as a design optimization tool, or a decision making tool to select and price contending sensor network designs

    Generalized Network Routing Metrics and Algorithms

    Full text link
    In this thesis, we introduce generalized network routing metrics that represent probability density parameters of the most popular communication channel models such as (a) the q-ary Symmetric Channel (q-SC) (b) the q-ary Erasure Channel (q-EC); (c) the Gilbert-Elliot Channel (GEC); and (d) the constrained Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN). The GEC is a very important for modelling correlated errors in channels such as the ubiquitous TCP/IP links and the wireless fading channels. In this thesis, we prove that channel models (a)--(d) can be used as inputs to the Generalized Dijkstra's Algorithm without resulting in any routing loop. We also define our own generalized Dijkstra's algorithm that can solve a modified standard shortest path problem that features: (1) a subset of network nodes that are capable of reducing the accumulated path cost down to zero, and (2) a constraint that the cumulative cost of any feasible path must never exceed a prespecified maximum value. We call this modified problem the Gas Station Problem, and its solution the Gas Station Algorithm. The algorithm can be applied in many different areas such as: vehicle routing, project management, and most importantly, network communication. We investigate various auxilliary synchronization algorithms used in popular routing protocols. Synchronization is used by routers to ensure that all routers operate on an identical routing table --- not a trivial task, considering network unreliabilities and possible malicious attacks. Our analysis produces a list of assumptions that guarantees synchronization. We also obtain the upper bounds to quantities such as transmission period, memory requirement, etc. In turn, these bounds can be used to rate network performance. Finally, in a related contribution, we analyze message synchronization where a message is retransmitted only if the number of identical messages received exceeds a certain threshold. We define the Chinese Generals Problem as the problem of identifying the set of assumptions under which synchronization is guaranteed. This threshold-base message passing algorithm has the benefits of a tunable gain and a higher noise resistance.</p
