City of Los Angeles v. Patel
No full textThe Fourth Amendment of the United States Constitution was established to protect citizens from unlawful search and seizure conducted by the government. Over the years, government investigations into closely regulated businesses have been an issue argued in numerous venues. The courts have ruled that businesses such as hotels do not have an exclusive expectation of privacy because the benefit of randomly searching motel/hotel registries has helped society by fighting crimes such as prostitution and sex trafficking. There is a conflicting opinion of the Sixth and Ninth Circuit Courts of California that determines whether hotels are protected under the Fourth Amendment. In City of Los Angeles v. Patel, it will be determined whether hotels have an expectation of privacy per the Fourth Amendment by the Supreme Court of the United States. I will discuss impact of the court’s decision whether warrantless searches of hotel registries are a violation of the Fourth Amendment
Bhupendra V. Patel Interview
No full textBhupendra V. Patel (Class of 1973) was interviewed by Valeria Reynosa via the Zoom internet-based video conferencing software on June 7, 2021. Mr. Patel was born in Sunav, Gujarat, a small town in India, where he attended school until the eleventh grade. He went on to pursue a degree in electrical engineering from BVM Engineering College. During his interview, Mr. Patel recalled how long his commute was to the university, roughly about fifteen kilometers from Sunav, and detailed some of the hardships he endured as a college student. After graduating in 1970, he sought to earn a graduate degree in the United States. The Florida Institute of Technology admitted Mr. Patel into their graduate engineering program. Despite him having a degree in engineering and working towards his masters, Mr. Patel endured difficulties securing employment, and worked as a dish washer, earning two dollars per hour. A friend told him about SMU, which led Mr. Patel to apply to the school. He was admitted to SMU in 1971 and moved to Dallas, Texas. Despite having an easier time in Dallas than in Florida, he still encountered difficulties. His wife moved from India to the United States to be closer to him and worked 60 to 80 hours a week to help him complete his degree. Mr. Patel graduated from SMU with his Master's in Electrical Engineering in 1973, after which Mr. Patel and his wife purchased a home and began establishing their life in the United States. After several years, he acquired his permanent resident card. During his interview, he described how Dallas' Indian community changed throughout the decades, with particular regard to the growth of the community in the area. Between the 1980s and 2000s, Patel owned several hotels, worked at Texas Instruments, and became involved with the India Association of Texas. He discusses his large family, which includes three generations of SMU students and alumni. At the time of the interview, he was living in Southlake, Texas, where his immediate family has been established for several decades
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
Variations on the Author
Full text link“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
Full text linkWe 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
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
