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
Design of Millimeter-wave CMOS LNA and VCO
No full text由於現代通訊系統資料傳輸量的需求與日俱增，在毫米波頻段的高頻無線通訊系統成為熱門的研究主題。而近年來因半導體製程的研發與成長迅速，使用次微米製程技術研究毫米波高頻段無線通訊的關鍵元件是一個非常值得探討的主題。其中由於互補式金氧半導體製程(CMOS)具備低價格與高度積體化的優點，因此特別受到注目。
本論文的主題在於利用65奈米互補式金氧半導體製程，分別設計與實現出無線通訊系統中低雜訊放大器，與電壓控制振盪器這兩種關鍵元件。論文主要可以分成三大部分，第一部份介紹無線通訊系統的基本原理介紹和各關鍵元件的重要性。第二部份討論各個關鍵元件的基本原理和電路設計，本論文提出一個低雜訊放大器，電壓控制振盪器。並說明其架構及設計的原理。第一個電路使用台積電65奈米互補式金氧半導體製程，成功的實現一個操作頻率為68至75 GHz 的低雜訊放大器，可達到17 dB的增益和7.4 dB的雜訊係數。第二個電路也是使用台積電65奈米互補式金氧半導體製程，為了得到較好的相位雜訊，改變了傳統的LC共振腔結構，改良其品質係數，成功的實現一個振盪在55.6 GHz，控制電壓可調頻率範圍可達2%的振盪器，其相位雜訊可達到1-MHz位移(offset)時具有-96 dBc/Hz，且只需消耗5 mW的直流功率。論文的最後一個部份為兩個電路的總結和本論文的結論。Due to the increasing demand of higher data rate of the modern communication system, wireless communication system in millimeter-wave has become an important topic of interest. Recently, due to the rapid growth of the foundry process, it’s an essential topic to utilize sub-micron process to realize the high frequency essential element of the wireless communication system. Complementary metal-oxide-silicon field-effect transistors (CMOS) is the most attractive process because of its advantages as low cost and high integrity. The goal of the thesis is to utilize 65-nm CMOS process to design and realize the two essential elements of the wireless communication system, low noise amplifier and voltage control oscillator. Firstly, the basic of the wireless communication system is introduced. Secondly, the basic principle and circuit design of each essential element are introduced. The thesis proposes a low noise amplifier and a voltage control oscillator as the structure and design method. The first circuit utilizes TSMC 65-nm CMOS process to realize a low noise amplifier in 68-75 GHz, with a gain of 17 dB, and a noise figure of 7.4 dB. The second circuit also utilizes TSMC 65-nm CMOS process to realize a voltage control oscillator. In order to reach a better phase noise performance, conventional LC resonator is transformed to improve its quality factor. An oscillator, operating at 55.6 GHz, with a tuning range of 2%, is realized. Under 5 mW DC power consumption, it reaches a phase noise performance as -97 dBc/Hz at 1-MHz offset

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
