A parametric study of imaging subsurface objects using ground penetrating radar
No full textA parametric study was carried out to investigate the effects on reconstructed images from a ground penetrating radar (GPR) due to (a) the centre frequency of the GPR excitation pulse, (b) the height of transmitting and receiving antennas above ground level, and (c) the proximity of the buried objects. An integrated software package was developed to streamline the computer simulation based on synthetic data generated by GPRMax
Imaging of buried targets with ground penetrating radar
No full textDiffraction tomographic imaging is applied to the imaging of shallowly buried targets with multi-bistatic arrays of transmitters and receivers
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
