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
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
Bipolar disorder, Type A behavior, and coronary disease
No full textThis paper describes a model for integrating two psychological constructs--bipolar disorder and the Type A behavior pattern--each of which has been associated with enhanced risk of coronary heart disease (CHD). It highlights similarities between manic/hypomanic behaviors associated with bipolarity and the behaviors observed in Type A individuals. The proposed model conceptualizes Type A behavior as an alternating pattern of coping with challenging and stressful events. Thus, initial coping efforts are manifested as behavioral hyper-reactivity (including mania/hypomania), but this gives way to hypo-reactivity (including helplessness and depression) after repeated failure to assert control and/or attain relevant goals. This alternation of Type A coping patterns resembles the affective and behavioral transitions often seen in bipolar patients. Future research on psychological, epidemiological, and pathophysiological issues concerning CHD should document areas of commonality and independence between bipolarity and Type A behavior. Such studies would benefit from consideration of a model that identifies psychosocial dimensions common to Type A, mania/hypomania, and depression.Peer reviewedThis is an electronic version of an article published in Glass, David C. and Richard J.

Privacy Law in the New Millennium: A Tribute to Richard C. Turkington
Full text linkAt least since Louis Brandeis and Samuel Warren\u27s seminal 1890 article The Right to Privacy, \u27 the idea of privacy has sparked some of the most significant and contentious debates in American law. Over the past three decades, Richard Turkington focused his formidable intellect on enriching those debates. Dick\u27s untimely passing in 2004 deprived those of us who knew and worked with him of a treasured friend and a brilliant colleague. The broader legal profession lost a visionary. Probably more than any other scholar of his generation, Dick was responsible for expanding and deepening our understanding of the essential, sometimes elusive, idea of privacy in the legal domain. His omnivorous mind reached across disciplines and doctrines to generate unprecedented insights about why human beings care so much about privacy, in what circumstances legal relationships and privacy concerns affect one another, and how courts and policymakers should think about the interplay of privacy interests and competing societal concerns. In light of Dick\u27s towering influence in the privacy field, his colleagues at the Villanova University School of Law decided that the school could honor his memory most appropriately by convening a stellar group of scholars to explore how the law of privacy will develop in the decades to come

Probabilistic and numerical techniques in the study of statistical theories of turbulence. Final Technical Report
No full textIn this research project we made fundamental advances in a number of problems arising in statistical equilibrium theories of turbulence. Here are the highlights. In most cases the mathematical analysis was supplemented by numerical calculations. (a) Maximum entropy principles. We analyzed in a unified framework the Miller-Robert continuum model of equilibrium states in an ideal fluid and a modification of that model due to Turkington. (b) Equivalence and nonequivalence of ensembles. We gave a complete analysis of the equivalence and nonequivalence of the microcanonical, canonical, and mixed ensembles at the level of equilibrium macrostates for a large class of models of turbulence. (c) Nonlinear stability of flows. We refined the well known Arnold stability theorems by proving the nonlinear stability of steady mean flows for the quasi-geostrophic potential vorticity equation in the case when the ensembles are nonequivalent. (d) Geophysical application. The theories developed in items (a), (b), and (c) were applied to predict the emergence and persistence of coherent structures in the active weather layer of the Jovian atmosphere. This is the first work in which sophisticated statistical theories are synthesized with actual observations data from the Voyager and Galileo space missions. (e) Nonlinear dispersive waves. For a class of nonlinear Schroedinger equations we demonstrated that the self-organization of solutions into a ground-state solitary wave immersed in fine-scale fluctuations is a relaxation into statistical equilibrium
