Mississippian volcanism in the south-central Andes: New U-Pb SHRIMP zircon geochronology and whole-rock geochemistry
Full text linkIn the northern extension of the Famatina and the southern Puna (NW Argentina) prominent rhyolitic volcanic rocks traditionally referred to as Ordovician are exposed, resting on metamorphic basement and covered by thick Late Paleozoic siliciclastic successions. We report new U-Pb SHRIMP ages from these rhyolites that show them to be of Mississippian (348-342Ma) age, thus identifying a previously unknown volcanic event in this portion of western Gondwana. Whole-rock geochemistry and Sr-Nd isotopic analyses suggest a crustal source for these rocks but with a juvenile input (εNd(t) between -2.91 and -0.3, and TDM values between 1.09 and 1.1Ga). This is different from the Early Paleozoic magmatism of western Argentina where crustal recycling took place without any involvement of mantle material. The Carboniferous magmatism is compatible with an extensional environment developed along the Terra Australis accretionary orogen as a result of tectonic switching processes. These rhyolites may be related to the coeval Mississippian A-type granites exposed to the east, in the Sierras Pampeanas, confirming the regional character of this magmatism.Fil: Martina, Federico.

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
The Long Latin American Millimeter Array: a new submillimeter facility to observe the Sun
Full text linkThe Long Latin American Millimeter Array (LLAMA), is an Argentinian - Brazilian project to build and operate a 12-m radiotelescope that may observe from 45 to 900 GHz and that will have VLBI capabilities. LLAMA will be installed in the Argentinian "Puna de Atacama" region at 4800 m above see level in the Salta Province, at less than 200 km distance from ALMA. The site has excellent sky transmission characteristics for submillimeter astronomy. LLAMA may observein single dish mode, or as VLBI station associated to ALMA at submillimeter wavelengths or to other telescopes at microwaves. Since it is a multipurpose observatory,it has within its objectives,observing the Sun. In VLBI mode it will have a resolution better than 0.001 arcsec at 1 mm wavelength, bringing unprecedented images of the solar atmosphere with a spatial resolution of the order of 1 km. In single dish mode, it will complement spectral observations already carry out by other telescopes. Key aspects to be addressed by solar LLAMA observations are: i) low atmosphere structure, ii) filaments, iii) dynamics of the chromosphere and its magnetic field and iv) flares. The project received full financial support from the Brazilian Agency FAPESP and the Argentinian Ministry of Science for the installation and operation of the antenna near thetown of San Antonio de los Cobres, and should have its first light by beginning 2015, expecting to start early science on middle 2016. We detail in this work the technical features of LLAMA, its state of advance and the science that may be done with its observations.Fil: Giménez de Castro, Guillermo C..
