Photography Exhibition by Timothy S. Allen - Tanzania and Taiwan
No full text[[abstract]]坦尚尼亞與台灣是兩個十分美麗的國家。人們在休閒及工作時均展現視覺上的豐富多采。在此兩地，身為一位外國人，我的相機發現了新的色彩與圖像；在我所來自的美國紐約上州是少見且迥異的。
在台灣拍攝的相片，時間上是從2004年一月內人和我初抵此地時起。在紐約上州，樹葉掉落並開始下雪後，黑白兩色便主宰了整個景觀；人們穿著的衣服也偏向低調暗色。我們剛到台灣時，一下子大量繽紛色彩的刺激湧現；對比是極為強烈的。四年後，從台灣旅經坦尚尼亞西北區，我受到同樣的衝擊，甚至更強烈些。接近赤道的地方，陽光似乎更耀眼、色彩更鮮明；許多當地女性穿著的衣服，顏色樣式之燦爛奪目亦增強這樣的印象。在坦尚尼亞一個月的停留，重新帶給我視覺上的刺激及對於人的相通性的理解。
我發現，觀看其他地方的經驗，能使我得到對現居地多一層的欣賞。從坦尚尼亞回來後，無論是台灣在經濟上的優勢、社會的繁榮活力或人們的親切友善，都令我對台灣有新一翻的讚賞。
由於本展覽的原文標題不盡然能以中譯表達，而引自王勃詩句的中文標題「天涯若比鄰」，在概念上頗可以吻合此次展覽的主題。我相信當觀眾從一張張的照片抽離出來而把它們視為一個整體時，就會發現即使我們有些差異，卻也非常相近。美國總統當選人巴拉克歐巴馬在獲得勝利的夜晚，對成千上萬的聆聽者談到人們共處於一個地球的時候說＂我們的故事雖各自獨立，我們的命運卻彼此相連＂。他的這段話似乎也適合解釋標題在此的含意:即便遠居空間兩端，我們原如鄰人同胞
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

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.
