Traces and shards of self-injury: Strange accounting with “Author X”
No full textIn this strange account autoethnography, three or four authors explore their lived experiences with self-injury. Strange accounting is both a post-modern style of text, and a method for keeping identities concealed when risks and secrets are in play. Author X, a post-modern place-keeper for an anonymous author who may or may not have contributed to this manuscript, introduces a new dimension and layer of concealment. With Author X in-play and under erasure, the reader will never be sure if there were three or four authors on this manuscript. Through strange accounting, a post-structuralist/postmodernist frame will be applied to understanding the self-injury experience. We frame self-injury as a social practice and, for some, an everyday norm, while remaining acutely aware of the stigma surrounding the topic of self-injury. Each of us, coupled with Author X, provide the others cover to trace stories of self-injury through the literature, our flesh, and our lives
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

Author headings for the official publications of the State of Kansas
No full textIncludes bibliographical references (page x).This list of author headings covers all official agencies as found in the laws of the territory and the laws of the state of Kansas from May 30, 1854 through July 1955; also agencies created by Executive Order, and administrative divisions, or boards, created within a department of the state. Agencies included are:
1. All departments, bureaus, divisions, commissions, courts, legislative bodies and special committees created by the laws or joint resolutions of the territory or state of Kansas, or by Executive Order*
2. Subdivisions of the respective departments, bureaus, commissions and committees even though not expressly created by acts of the legislature, but which are included in the official reports of the agencies*
3. Legislative bodies and their committees, if created by law, or if their reports were published.
4. Societies supported wholly, or in part, by the state.
5. All state and territorial institutions (including educational, charitable, correctional and penal)
Securing XML documents with author-X
No full textAuthor-X is a Java-based system that addresses the security issues of access control and policy design for XML document administration. Author-X supports the specification of policies at varying granularity levels and the specification of user credentials as a way to enforce access control. Access control is available according to both push and pull document distribution policies, and document updates are distributed through a combination of hash functions and digital signature techniques. The Author-X approach to distributed updates allows a user to verify a document's integrity without contacting the document server
2d-LCA - an alternative to x-wires
No full textThe 2d-Laser Cantilever Anemometer (2d-LCA) is an novel anemometer for two-dimensional velocity measurements in fluids. It uses a mico-structured cantilever with a specifically designed tip as a sensing element and is capable of performing measure- ments with extremely high temporal (≈ 100kHz) and spatial (≈ 140μm) resolutions. Another big feature is a large angular range of 180◦ in total. The performance of the 2d-LCA has been verified by means of comparative measurements with commercial x-wires in laboratory-generated turbulent flow. We are able to show that both measurement techniques provide comparable statistics
