Evaluating the hydraulic and hydro-morphodynamic performance of blue–green infrastructure over event and long-term timescales
No full textThis is the author accepted manuscript. The final version is available from ICE Publishing via the DOI in this recordTo evaluate the effectiveness of blue–green infrastructure (BGI) at multiple timescales requires a modelling tool that is capable of simulating the underlying hydraulic and morphodynamic processes within BGI. In this context, this study presents a hydro-morphodynamic modelling tool for systematic assessment of the multiple benefits of BGI on flood attenuation and sediment trapping. The model combines two-dimensional shallow-water equations with an advection–diffusion equation for fine sediment transport. The model can simulate the dynamic processes of erosion, transport and deposition of non-cohesive, fine-grained suspended sediments (i.e. fine sands and silts) under the action of flow hydraulics typical of those found in BGI. To demonstrate the model capability, it is applied to two case studies, including (a) the effects of a restored floodplain and (b) the effectiveness of an urban stormwater pond. The simulation results indicate that nature-based approaches, such as floodplain restoration and stormwater ponds, are effective for attenuating flow and retaining suspended sediments. More specifically, stormwater ponds are suitable for more-frequent smaller events (< 5-year), while floodplain restoration is more effective for extreme flood events (e.g. 30 to 100-year) where more floodwaters can be stored. From a longer-term viewpoint, stormwater ponds lose their storage capacity over a period of time; they require regular maintenance to uphold their hydraulic performance. The model developed in this study is an effective tool for the evaluation of BGI at various temporal and spatial scales, and could be applied to similar cases.Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC)University of Hong Kon

Cross-evaluation of entity linking and disambiguation systems for clinical text annotation
No full textIn this paper we study whether state-of-the-art techniques for multi-domain and multilingual entity linking can be ported to the clinical domain. To do so, we compare two known entity linking systems, BabelFly and TagMe, that leverage on Wikipedia and DBpedia, with the standard clinical semantic annotation and disambiguation system, MetaMap, over the SemRep clinical word sense disambiguation gold standard. We show that BabelFly and especially TagMe, while achieving decent precision on clinical annotation, outmatch MetaMap's F 1-score
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
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
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe 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
