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
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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.

It is interesting for the food industry to determine the
microstructure of food products. Although several equipments already exist
which can determine this microstructure, they’re only applicable to ‘simple’
structures (powders, emulsions or suspensions). An interesting technique to
derive information over biological tissues is Vis/NIR spectroscopy. When light
propagates through a biological tissue, photons will interact with the existing
microstructure. The absorption of photons gives an idea about the chemical
composition. Variations in the microstructure can however result into erroneous
concentration estimations with classical Vis/NIR spectroscopy. This is the
result of light scattering due to the microstructure. This light scattering is
a dominant effect in biological tissues.
In classical Vis/NIR spectroscopy one evaluates how
light is fading away in the tissue, as a consequence of the interaction with
the biological tissue. This results in a single measurements: reflection or
transmission. It does not allow, however, to make a distinction between
information about the chemical composition (absorption) and the microstructure
(scattering). Advanced methods have arose, which perform multiple measurements,
resolved over time or space. These methods employ light propagation models
which allow to simulate the reflection or transmission of a sample with
specific optical properties. Optical properties of a tissue can be estimated by
iteratively comparing simulated spectra with measured ones.
When determining the optical properties of a complex
biological tissue, one needs an adapted sensor. The most efficient probe is
therefore the result of an iterative development procedure, where improvements
are being made after testing a previous prototype. Becauseof the significant
investment necessary for building the prototypes,every step of this iterative process
implies an increase in time andmoney. As a result, one can only justify
building a small number of different prototypes. The result is a suboptimal
probe design. If onewould be able to do this process computationally, this
would be a large improvement. Light propagation models are a necessary tool for
this computational sensor design.
This research is subdivided
into 4 parts. At first, a light propagation model will be developed. Starting
from optical parameters, one should be able to derive the light distribution in
a biological tissue. In the next step, an inverted algorithm will be developed.
Starting from SRS-measurements, the optical properties of tissues will be
estimated. Finally, a connection will be made between the optical properties –
which characterize a tissue on a mesoscale – and the microstructure of the
tissue. This will be done by estimating the particle size distribution of the
tissue. Starting from this research, one will develop a
computational optimization of the sensor design. This algorithm will make usage
of the light propagation model, in combination with the inverse algorithm.status: Publishe
