News article: [Rededication of Carillon at Mostyn House School]
No full textNewspaper article on the rededication of the carillon at Mostyn House School which included a lecture by William Wooding Starmer and a performance by Mr. Antoon Nauwelaerts.
The carillon was started in 1921 with 27 bells that were cast by the John Taylor Bell Foundry (Loughborough, England, Great Britain). In 1922, four bells cast by the John Taylor Bell Foundry were added to the carillon. In 1923, six more bells cast by the John Taylor Bell Foundry were added.
Mostyn House School closed in 2010 and the carillon was moved to Charterhouse School (Godalming, England) in 2013
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
South Holland Centre (Spalding, England)
No full textThe South Holland Centre houses an electric-automatic carillon of 23 bells. The carillon was started in 1923 with 16 bells that were cast by the John Taylor Bell Foundry (Loughborough, England, Great Britain). Twelve of those bells remain. In 1924, the carillon was enlarged to 23 bells by the John Taylor Bell Foundry. None of those bells remain. In 1973, 13 bells were replaced or recast by the John Taylor Bell Foundry. The bells were rehung in a new glass tower in 1997 by Smiths of Derb
Cathedral and Metropolitan Church of Saint Peter
No full textThe Southwest Tower of York Minster houses a traditional carillon of 35 bells. Eleven bells cast by the John Taylor Bell Foundry (Loughborough, England, Great Britain) were installed in 1989. The instrument was enlarged in 2008 with bells cast by the John Taylor Bell Foundry
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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe 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
Parish Church of the Holy Trinity (St. Andrews, Scotland)
No full textParish Church of the Holy Trinity houses a traditional carillon of 27 bells. The instrument was started in 1926 with 15 bells that were cast by the John Taylor Bell Foundry (Loughborough, England, Great Britain). In 1938, the instrument was enlarged to 17 bells by the John Taylor Bell Foundry. Two of the bells from that work remain. In 1962, the instrument was enlarged to 23 bells by the John Taylor Bell Foundry. Six bells from that work remain. In 1998, four bells cast by the John Taylor Bell Foundry were added
