No full textExpert F# is about practical programming in a beautiful language that puts the power and elegance of functional programming into the hands of .NET developers. In combination with .NET, F# achieves unrivaled levels of programmer productivity and program clarity. This books serves as
•The authoritative guide to F# by the designer of F#
•A comprehensive reference of F# concepts, syntax, and features
•A treasury of expert F# techniques for practical, real–world programming
While inspired by OCaml, F# isn't just another functional programming language. Drawing on many of the strengths of both OCaml and .NET, it's a general–purpose language ideal for real–world development. F# integrates functional, imperative, and object–oriented programming styles so you can flexibly and elegantly solve programming problems, and brings .NET development alive with interactive execution. Whatever your background, you'll find that F# is easy to learn, fun to use, and extraordinarily powerful. F# will help change the way you think about and go about programming.
Written by F#’s designer and two active contributors, Expert F# is the authoritative, comprehensive, and in–depth guide to the language and its use. Designed to help others become experts, the book gives a thorough introduction to the F# language from quick essentials to in–depth advanced topics such as active pattern matching, aggregate data types and operators, sequence expressions, lazy values, mutable data and side–effects, generics, type augmentations, functional decomposition and code organization.
The second half of the book is devoted to examining the practical application of F#, providing elegant solutions to common programming tasks including user interface implementation, data access, web and distributed programming, symbolic and numerical computations, concurrent programming, testing, profiling, and interoperability with other languages. The latest hot developments in F# and .NET are also addressed, including Active Patterns, implicit class construction, integration with LINQ over relational data, meta programming and useful tips for working with Visual Studio and F# command–line tools

Neutron emission spectroscopy of D plasmas at JET with a compact liquid scintillating neutron spectrometer
No full textNeutron emission spectroscopy is a diagnostic technique that allows for energy measurements of neutrons born in nuclear reactions. The JET tokamak fusion experiment (Culham, UK) has a special role in this respect as advanced spectrometers for 2.5 MeV and 14 MeV neutrons have been developed here for the first time for measurements of the neutron emission spectrum from D and DT plasmas with unprecedented accuracy. Twin liquid scintillating neutron spectrometers were built and calibrated at the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) (Braunschweig, Germany) and installed on JET in the recent years with tangential-equatorial (KM12) and vertical-radial (KM13) view lines, with the latter only recently operational. This article reports on the performance of KM12 and on the development of the data analysis methods in order to extract physics information upon D ions kinematics in JET auxiliary-heated D plasmas from 2.5 MeV neutron measurements. The comparison of these results with the correspondents from other JET neutron spectrometers is also presented: their agreement allows for JET unique capability of multi-lines of sight neutron spectroscopy and for benchmarking other 14 MeV neutron spectrometers installed on the same lines of sight in preparation for the DT experimental campaign at JET

Remarks.— The existing diagnosis of Diasterope includes a mandible exopod length greater than 50 percent of length of dorsal margin of endopod article 1. Diasterope wirraka has a relative exopod length of only 40 %. However, the species fits more closely into Diasterope than into other genera and is thus included in this genus here. As noted above, a phylogenetic analysis is in progress and may alter the available genera of the Cylindroleberididae; thus, a formal change to the diagnostic features of Diasterope is not presented here. Diasterope wirraka is similar to D. grisea (Brady, 1898) (New Zealand) but differs in the following characters: carapace smaller (adult female 1.64 mm compared to 2.64 mm), article 3 of first antenna with 5 (not 6) dorsal setae; mandible basale of female with 5 (not 3) dorsal setae, male fseta of first antenna of similar length to gseta (not twice as long), and male carapace with no posterior row of hairs. D. wirraka is also similar to D. schmitti Kornicker, 1975 (Antarctica) in the number of dorsal setae on the mandible basale (5) but differs in the following characters: carapace much smaller (adult female 1.64 mm compared to 3.51 mm), article 3 of first antenna with 5 (not 6–7) dorsal setae, seventh limb with 12 (not 31) setae. No males are known for D. schmitti. D. wirraka c an be differentiated from D. procax Kornicker & Iliffe, 2000 (Bahamas), D. pilosa Poulsen, 1965 (Northeast Pacific) and D. bisetosa Poulsen, 1965 (Red Sea) by the number of dorsal setae on the mandible basale (5 compared to 1). Comparisons have not been made with those species for which only juvenile males are known, D. canina Poulsen, 1965 and D. tenuiseta Poulsen, 1965, both from the West Indies. The adult male carapace is lacking a posterior row of hairs. Presence of this row of hairs is common in males of the subfamily. The relatively short fseta is in contrast to most known males of the subfamily, which have very long c and fsetae (twice length of first antenna). Species of Diasterope have a disjunct distribution, known from the Red Sea, northwest Atlantic, northeast Pacific and New Zealand to Antarctica. D. wirraka has morphological similarities with species from New Zealand and Antarctica, and its discovery extends the distribution of this genus to southeast Australia. Etymology.—“ Wirraka ” is an Australian aboriginal word from the Wemba Wemba language of southeastern Australia, meaning “to swim.”Published as part of Syme, Anna E. & Poore, Gary C.

The only other species in the family with nodes (on females) are <i>Amboleberis americana</i> (Mller, 1890) (with 4–6), <i>Amboleberis cubensis</i> Lalana & Kornicker, 1997 (with 7–8), and <i>Dolasterope johanseni</i> Poulsen, 1965 and species of <i>Tetraleberis</i> Kornicker, 1981 (all with 1 node).</p> <p>The male described here is similar to males of several other known species in the genus but is assumed to be conspecific with the female, as it was found in the same sample and is morphologically similar. It differs from the female in the presence of 1 seta at midlength on the dorsal margin of the mandible basale; sexual dimorphism of this character is known in many species.</p> <p> Species of <i>Parasterope</i> are known from most oceans and depths (excluding the Arctic). Although species have been described from the Indo –Pacific (Kornicker, 1970; Poulsen, 1965) and the southeastern coastline of Australia (Kornicker & Poore, 1996), none have been described from Queensland. <i>P. gamurru</i> extends the Australian distribution of this genus.</p> <p>Etymology.—“ Gamurru ” is an Australian aboriginal word from the Yolnu language of northern Australia, meaning “nose” or “point,” in reference to the nodes on the first antenna for this species.</p>Published as part of <i>Syme, Anna E. & Poore, Gary C.

MeSH term explosion and author rank improve expert recommendations
No full textInformation overload is an often-cited phenomenon that reduces the productivity, efficiency and efficacy of scientists. One challenge for scientists is to find appropriate collaborators in their research. The literature describes various solutions to the problem of expertise location, but most current approaches do not appear to be very suitable for expert recommendations in biomedical research. In this study, we present the development and initial evaluation of a vector space model-based algorithm to calculate researcher similarity using four inputs: 1) MeSH terms of publications; 2) MeSH terms and author rank; 3) exploded MeSH terms; and 4) exploded MeSH terms and author rank. We developed and evaluated the algorithm using a data set of 17,525 authors and their 22,542 papers. On average, our algorithms correctly predicted 2.5 of the top 5/10 coauthors of individual scientists. Exploded MeSH and author rank outperformed all other algorithms in accuracy, followed closely by MeSH and author rank. Our results show that the accuracy of MeSH term-based matching can be enhanced with other metadata such as author rank
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
