No full textThe publication was established in the framework of the project “Development
of technology for the construction of clean and energy efficient houses with
composite filling timber frame”. Project is financed by the European Union
within European Neighborhood and Partnership Instrument, Cross Border
Cooperation Programme Poland-Belarus-Ukraine 2007–2013, Priority 2.
Improving the quality of life, Measure 2.1. Natural environment protection
in the borderland, according to the agreement No. IPBU.02.01.00-06-704/11-
00.The monograph is second part of composites’ research on the base of the flax
filler. The first part developed in Pope John Paul II State School of Higher Education
in Biała Podlaska contains studies and guidelines on the application of composites
with fibrous hemp shives filler. Research and technological guidelines made at
the State Technical University in Brest may be helpful in the implementation of
ecological and energy-efficient buildings for a wide application
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
A first Attempt to Determine the Partial Factors According to Eurocodes for the Verification of ULS of Steel Elements for Conditions of the Republic of Belarus
No full textThe aim of the study is to develop science-based methodology for estimation the values of the partialfactors for design of steel structures for the conditions of the Republic of Belarus, taking into account the specified values of reliability levels. The object of the study is steel structural elements. Methods:mathematical modeling, numerical and analytical methods, parametric and graphic analysis. In January 2010 European standards (EN standards, Eurocodes) for the design, fabrication and erection of building structures were introduced in the Republic of Belarus. The system of European standards (EN 1990) recognise the responsibility of regulatory authorities in each country and guarantee their right to determine values related to regulatory safety matters at national level. According to the reliability concept of building structures adopted in the standard ISO 2394, EN 1990 the target reliability levels for designed structures are set. It caused a necessity to calibrate the partial factors of steel structures for Belarusian National Annex to Eurocode 3 based on the target reliability level using probabilistic 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
