Iskolčenje zemljišnih čestica i najstariji kamen međaš u Hrvatskoj iz 4. stoljeća prije Krista
Get PDFGeographical position of the Chora Pharos (nowadays Starogradsko polje), climate conditions and brief historical development of colonization on the island of Hvar are described in the paper. Also described is how Greek from the island of Paros established the town Pharos (today’s Stari Grad) and how they constructed Chora Pharos (today’s Starogradsko polje). They divided the field Starogradsko polje into rectangular parcels with dimensions 1 Greek stage × 5 Greek stage (181 m × 905 m). The large project “Starogradsko polje” demonstrated that one Pharos foot equals 0.3026 m. They used the groma for pegging out orthogonal angles. Finally, there is a photograph of the boundary stone from the Chora Pharos (Starogradsko polje) from the 4th century before Christ which is deposited in the Archaeological Museum in Zagreb. This is the oldest boundary stone in Croatia and as geodesists, we can consider it a geodetic monument.U članku su opisani geografski smještaj faroske hore (Starogradskog polja), klimatski uvjeti i kratki povijesni razvoj naseljenosti otoka Hvara. Zatim je opisano kako su Grci s otoka Párosa osnovali grad Faros (Pharos, današnji Stari Grad) i izgradili Horu Pharos (danas Starogradsko polje). Pri izmjeri Starogradskoga polja podijelili su ga na pravokutne čestice dimenzija 1 grč. stadij × 5 grč. stadija (181 m × 905 m) koristeći dimenzije svojih “stopa”. U velikom projektu “Starogradsko polje” pokazano je da su dimenzije njihovih stopa bile 0,3026 m. Za iskolčenje pravih kutova koristili su gromu. Na kraju je priložena slika očuvanoga kamena međaša iz 4. st. pr. Kr. iz Starogradskoga polja, koji se čuva u Arheološkome muzeju u Zagrebu. To je najstariji kamen međaš u Hrvatskoj, a geodeti ga ubrojaju u geodetske spomenike
Himalaja i pregled određivanja visina Mt. Everesta
No full textThe introduction to this article describes the Himalayan mountain range, while the next chapter outlines its formation. The article then goes on to describe the early use of trigonometric networks in Europe and India, and the important achievements of Sir George Everest. When his successor, A. S. Waugh, extended the trigonometric network to the foot of the Himalayas, he determined the height of the highest peak of Mt. Everest trigonometrically, by measuring vertical angles only in the direction of Mt. Everest. Later, it became possible to determine the height of the highest peak in the world more precisely, using modern surveying means. The peak was named Mt. Everest in 1865, at the proposal of A. S. Waugh. It is known by other names by the indigenousl populations in China and Nepal. Finally, the earliest attempts to climb Mt. Everest are described.U uvodu članka opisan je planinski masiv Himalaja, a u sljedećem poglavlju njegov nastanak. U nastavku su opisani počeci uporabe trigonometrijskih mreža u Europi te uporaba tih mreža u Indiji, gdje je G. Everest ostvario veliko djelo. Kad je A. S. Waugh, nasljednik G. Everesta, došao s trigonometrijskom mrežom do Himalaje, odredio je i visinu najvišeg vrha, Mt. Everesta, trigonometrijskim načinom, mjerenjem vertikalnih kutova samo u smjeru prema Mt. Everestu. Poslije se nastojalo što točnije odrediti visinu toga najvišega vrha na Zemlji uvođenjem suvremenih mjerenja. Ime Mt. Everest uvedeno je 1865. godine na prijedlog A. S. Waugha. Za taj vrh postoje i drugi nazivi domicilnog stanovništva u Kini i Nepalu. Na kraju su opisani počeci alpinističkih uspona na Mt. Everest

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
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
