The Thomas Kay Woolen Mill, finishing departments 1890-1962
No full textThe Thomas Kay Woolen Mill operated between 1890 and 1962. The mill produced predominately woolen blankets and woolen fabrics for outerwear garments. Mission Mill Museum Association purchased the woolen mill after its closure in order to develop the property as a museum. The purpose of this study was to provide historic documentation of the Thomas Kay Woolen Mill woolen finishing processes and machinery which will be used to interpret a new exhibition of the mill's finishing departments. Business records of the Thomas Kay Woolen Mill which were found in the museum's archives, newspaper articles, extant mill machinery, old machinery manuals, and woolen process texts provided most of the documentation for this study. Generally, the finishing processes and finishing machinery used by the mill remained the same during its seventy years of operation. The proposed plan for the exhibition retains the extant wet finishing department and proposes suggestions for interpretation of the predominant finishing processes used in the Thomas Kay Woolen Mill

The Thomas Kay Woolen Mill in Salem, Oregon, 1900-1959
Get PDFThe Thomas Kay Woolen Mill once manufactured cloth with a
reputation renowned throughout the United States. This study is an
attempt to report the history of the mill. Data are categorized by:
the Kay family; production including plant, machinery, raw materials
used, goods manufactured; management including the effects of
national developments; and labor. Data were gathered from official
documents, correspondence, mill records, newspapers and printed
materials, and from interviews with four Kay family members and
fifty-three mill employees. The interviews with mill employees
provided a wealth of information concerning factory life. The
antiquated buildings and machinery manufactured the coarse
Willamette wool into cloth for outerwear and blankets. During
wartimes the mill experienced its greatest production. Post-war
developments such as synthetics, foreign imports, and movement of
the textile industry to the South led to the eventual demise of this
specialized, family-operated mill, which has become a museum
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
