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
Higher Order Mode-based Beam and Cavity Diagnostics in 1.3 GHz Superconducting Cavities at FLASH
No full textFLASH (Free Electron Laser in Hamburg) is a linac based SASE (Self-AmplifiedSpontaneous Emission) FEL (Free Electron Laser) facility generating high qualityEUV (Extreme Ultra-Violet) to soft X-ray radiation pulses. TESLA (TeV EnergySuperconducting Linear Accelerator) 1.3 GHz cavities are used for the accelerationof the electron bunches. Higher Order Modes (HOMs) are excited when electronbunches pass through the accelerating cavities, and may induce emittance growthand deteriorate beam quality. Thus these HOMs need to be damped by a carefulcavity design and by two specially designed couplers. On the other hand, HOMscan deliver useful information about the beam and the cavity.HOMs can be classified into monopole, dipole, quadruple modes and so onbased on their azimuthal symmetry. The dipole modes have a linear dependenceon the transverse beam offset. By concentrating on a specific dipole mode signal, itwas previously demonstrated that one can determine the transverse beam positionin each cavity. We developed a new method based on fitting the signal waveformsfor the beam position measurement. As a benefit of the new method, the TESLAcavities proved to be able to work as HOMBPMs (HOM-based Beam PositionMonitors), delivering consistent results over several months. The resolution of theinvolved HOMBPMs is determined, with a result of better than 10 μm RMS.By aligning the beam on the cavity axis, the damage to the beam performancecaused by HOMs can be also reduced. However the eight cavities installed in eachcryo-module are themselves misaligned with respect to the module axis. Two of themost relevant misalignments are cavity offset and tilt. Due to the offset dependenceof the beam excited dipole modes, the cavity offset misalignment can be determinedduring the HOMBPM calibration. However, the cavity tilt has so far proved to be more difficult to measure, because of the weak angular dependence. By carefullytargeting the beam through the middle of a cavity, the strong offset contributionto the dipole mode excitation can be reduced. An efficient data analysis routinealso based on the fitting method enabled us then to obtain the cavity tilt. For thefirst time, the tilts of all cavities inside a cryo-module have been measured.Beside using dipole modes for beam or cavity diagnostics, the second monopoleband is utilized to monitor the beam phase with respect to the accelerating RFfield in each cavity, which can not be measured directly by the phase monitorsat FLASH. The RMS resolution of the HOM-based beam phase measurement isabout 0.2° with a scope-based experimental setup. The resolution can be improvedby limiting the noise level with dedicated electronics under design. Phase driftsbetween the HOM phase and the probe phase have been observed by monitoringthe beam phase during a period of one month.The main achievements of this thesis are summarized into three aspects: (1)The new method based on signal fitting was developed which proved to stabilizethe HOMBPM system over almost one year. Also it determines the polarizationaxes and cavity offset misalignment. (2) The cavity tilt was measured for thefirst time in all cavities within one accelerating module. (3) The beam phase wasmonitored over a long time and the phase drifts between the beam phase and theaccelerating RF phase could be observed
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
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.
