Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe 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
"Closing the R&D Gap, Evaluating the Sources of R&D Spending"
No full textBoth spending and tax policies have been implemented in the United States with the goal of stimulating private sector research and development (R&D). Karier questions whether current R&D policy, especially the research and experimentation tax credit, can contribute to closing the gap between nondefense expenditures on R&D in the United States and such expenditures in other countries, such as Japan and Germany. He also explores possible changes to our current R&D policy to make it more effective.
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
John Millington Synge's Travel Journalism: Reporting from the Fringes of Revival Ireland
No full textHeathland ecology and vegetation history of Tulloch Moor, Inverness-Shire
No full textTulloch Moor is part of the RSPB reserve at Loch Garten. It contains a very good example of Calluna-Arctostaphylos heath. The vegetation of the moor was examined by means of 44 2x2m sample plots. 32 of these were in 8 permanently marked 4x4m quadrats, and provide a baseline to measure future change. 7 plots outside the permanent transect showed further variation in the heathland vegetation. The data indicate that time since burning, colonisation by trees, and variation in soil type are the important factors in determining the present variation. Ordination separated the Tulloch Moor heath releves from those given by McVean & Ratcliffe (1962) for the Arctostaphyleto-Callunetum which more often included Pyrola media and Dicranum scoparium, however the heath releves were more similar to the Arctostaphyleto- callunetum than to Callunetum vulgaris. The vegetation history of Tulloch Moor was investigated by pollen analysis of a sample of peat and a surface sample of moss. The peat sample was not dated. The pollen analysis indicates that there was a period when the Moor, or at least the sampling locality, was much more wooded than now, mainly with pine and some birch. Prior to this there was an open heath with some trees, much as now. Following the wooded period, the tree cover declined to a low level, and then increased in the recent past to its present level. Characteristics and measurements of Ericales reference pollen were compared with those of fossil pollen, and the results of the different methods of identification were compared. Most of the fossil pollen tetrads were Erica tetralix which presently grows on the peat bog surface. Very few tetrads of Arctostaphylos pollen were found, and these were at or near the surface. Examination of the peat for charcoal fragments indicates that fires have occurred in the area throughout the period represented by the peat sample. Some peaks in charcoal abundance are followed by a decline in tree pollen, indicating that fire was a cause of tree decline
Letter from R. R. Zellick, Assistant Trust Officer, Anglo California National Bank of San Francisco, to Joseph R. Goodman, October 2, 1942
No full textLetter from R. R. Zellick, Assistant Trust Officer at The Anglo California National Bank of San Francisco, to Joseph R. Goodman, regarding property owned by Dave Tatsuno. Zellick mentions a dispute between current tenants and Tatsuno, and that Tatsuno has asked Goodman to help locate trustworthy tenants.Personal correspondence, organizational records, government documents, publications, and other papers created or collected by Joseph R. Goodman documenting the forced removal and incarceration of Japanese Americans during World War II, as well as organized resistance to incarceration. Included in the collection are records of the Japanese Young Men's Christian Association and the Japanese American Citizens' League in San Francisco, including papers of the Japanese YMCA's executive secretary Lincoln Kanai; Sakai family papers; Goodman's correspondence to and from Japanese American incarcerees, organizations opposing forced removal and incarceration of Japanese Americans, the War Relocation Authority, and others; publications, photographs, and ephemera from the Topaz Relocation Center, where Goodman taught high school; War Relocation Authority records and publications; and newspaper clippings, pamphlets, and reports about forced removal and incarceration created by various government, religious, and civic organizations, in California and nationwide
Pyridine functionalised N-heterocyclic carbene complexes of palladium
No full textThe pyridine functionalised N-heterocyclic carbene complexes (C-N)PdMeBr, C-N = 3-R-1-(2-picolyl)imidazolin-2-ylidene, (R = Bu-t 1a, R = mes 1b, mes = mesityl) are described; they are excellent catalysts for the Heck arylation; 1b is monomeric with a chelating C-N ligand; the product obtained by interaction of 1a with AgO2CCF3 shows a [Pd(C-N)](4) framework with bridging C-N ligands
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe 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
8th international Airborne Wind Energy Conference (AWEC 2019): Book of Abstracts
No full textAirborne Wind Energy (AWE) is an emerging renewable energy technology that aims to replace the use of fossil fuels for energy production on an economical basis. A characteristic feature of the various AWE concepts is the use of tethered flying devices to access wind energy at higher altitudes where the wind is more consistent. Over the past decade the AWE scientific and industrial community has grown considerably. The largest AWE demonstrator system to date is a 600kW system; many other demonstrator systems exist in the electricity output range up to 80 kW. The 8th Airborne Wind Energy Conference (AWEC 2019) will be held on 15-16 October 2019 at the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, United Kingdom. Previous international Airborne Wind Energy Conferences have been held in Chico, CA, USA in 2009, in Stanford, CA, USA in 2010, in Leuven, Belgium in 2011, in Hampton, VA, USA in 2012, in Berlin, Germany in 2013, in Delft, The Netherlands in 2015 and in Freiburg, Germany in 2017.The Airborne Wind Energy Conference (AWEC) is hosted as an international public event since 2010. The archived documentation of the conferences since 2011 is published online by Delft University of Technology.Wind Energ
