Exploring the concept of Hunan province food heritage: the case Yong Feng chili sauce / Li Qiong ... [et al.]
Full text linkWith the growing global interest in cultural heritage sustainability, food heritage, particularly in China, faces significant challenges, including the impact of globalization and the need for effective preservation and transmission strategies. This study aims to explore the concept of food heritage in Hunan Province, China, with a specific focus on Yong Feng Chili Sauce, a notable example of food heritage. Conducting a systematic literature review which is a part of qualitative technique focused on terms such as "food heritage", "heritage food", "traditional food", and "local food." The article review covered a wide range of references from 2008 to 2023, providing a thorough summary of the progress and status of food heritage studies. This study identified fundamental aspects of food heritage, encompassing its preservation and productive protection. This study shows that Hunan’s food heritage, represented by Yong Feng Chili Sauce, contains rich cultural identity, traditional knowledge, and sustainable practices. The findings highlight the complexities of preserving food heritage in the face of modernization pressures, providing valuable insights for local Chinese governments. This study could be a steppingstone for discovering how other food heritage can be sustained to this day
Anytime Temporal Reasoning: Preliminary Report (Extended Abstract)
No full text) ? Mukesh Dalal and Yong Feng Columbia University Department of Computer Science New York, New York, 10027, USA. We present a new approach for determining consistency of temporal constraint networks based on Allen's interval-based framework [All83]. The temporal network is first translated into a clausal theory in propositional logic [Men64], whose satisfiability is then determined using an anytime family of tractable reasoners [Dal96]. Anytime reasoners are complete reasoners that provide partial answers even if stopped prematurely; the completeness of the answer improves with the time used in computing the answer. Our anytime family ` 0 ; ` 1 ; : : : is built upon clausal boolean constraint propagation (BCP) [McA90], a variant of unit resolution. It is known that each ` i is sound and tractable, each ` i+1 is at least as complete as ` i , and each propositional theory has a complete reasoner ` i for reasoning with it. A straight-forward translation of a network into a proposition..

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
Yong-Feng Ju,
Full text linkAbstract: In this paper, we present an improved particle filter algorithm for ballistic target tracking, the quadrature Kalman particle filter (QKPF). The proposed algorithm uses quadrature Kalman filter (QKF) for generating the proposal distribution. The QKF is a recursive, nonlinear filtering algorithm developed in the Kalman filtering framework. It linearizes the nonlinear functions using statistical linear regression method through a set of Gaussian-Hermite quadrature points, need not to compute the Jacobian matrix and is easy to implement. Moreover, the generated proposal distribution integrates the latest measurements into system state transition density, so it can match the posterior density well. The simulation results show that QKPF is a viable alternative for sequential estimation in nonlinear dynamic models. Copyright © 2014 IFSA Publishing, S. L
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
