Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
A 'satisfiability' based approach to integer programming
No full textThe purpose of this work is the development of a collection of satisfiability based algorithms that can be used to solve particular instances of integer programming problems. Satisfiability based algorithms have recently obtained a strong standing within the industrial community and, although for all but a few special cases the problem is NP-complete, research has shown that other problems in this class can often be transformed into a corresponding satisfiability problem and solved more effectively using the best SAT-solvers. One of the most important uses of satisfiability based algorithms is within chip design testing, such as the floating point failure of Pentium processors which require the need of efficient satisfiability based tools to aid in the verification process. We start with the case of Pure 0-1 Integer Programming problems and show how they can be transformed into a general satisfiability problem and solved using an algorithm developed by Davis, Putnam and Loveland. The thesis then concerns itself with making the process as efficient as possible by adopting a number of approaches that include the implementation of polynomial time algorithms including 'Incremental Satisfiability', allowing flexibility to add new branching strategies and the conversion of constraints tological clauses. The programs are compiled to interact with each other fully and are tested on the 'truss design problem' found in structural engineering
Variations on the Author
Full text link“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
