    The 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

    “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

    We 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

    We 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

    Structural Safety Assessment of Ship Collision and Grounding using FSI Analysis Technique

    Structural safety assessment was performed for the collision and grounding scenarios of specialized ship and its cargo. To ensure reasonable and reliable safety assessment, realistic full-scale ship collision and grounding simulations were carried out, using FSI analysis technique of LS-DYNA code and propulsion force instead of velocity in simulations. There was no fracture damage in the side inner side hull of DWT 2,600 ton specialized ship as struck ship, except DWT 35,000 ton striking ship in ballast condition to struck one in service at 90 and 80 degree attack angles, and also no damage in the inner bottom hull of specialized ship as grounding one, even rock height 0.75m above inner bottom hull under full load condition. Contrary to the void condition simulations, more realistic collision and grounding response behaviors could be found in the surrounding sea water, in that striking ship moved laterally before collision, and a lot of kinetic energy of large size of striking ship might be transferred to the fluid energy, which would give a reasonable collision speed response after collision in addition to the loss of internal energy to the struck ship. Realistic grounding response behaviors of the grounding ship was also observed, such as jumping and sway around the rock under its self weight, depending on its load condition, rock height and position. Through the full-scale collision simulation of cargo container boxes and drums loaded inside the cargo hold of struck ship using FSI analysis technique, it was found that their crashworthiness capacities and damage patterns could be relatively well figured out with their energy dissipations, and their structural safeties would be assessed with high reliability. Container boxes and drums in shell guide also contributed greatly to the crashworthiness of side structure of struck ship, and no damage occurred in the drums, except damage only in the bottom and side of square concrete drum with no damage in its inside even in the very serious collision scenario. It could be confirmed that this specialized ship might be superior to the severe collision scenarios due to the wide double side hull space. In the future study, some verification works on the collision and grounding simulations should be performed for the enhancement of their reliability, using FSI analysis technique.목 차 목 차 ⅰ List of Tables ⅲ List of Figures iv Abstract vi 1. 서 론 1 2. 충돌 및 좌초 시나리오와 모델링 4 2.1 재료의 파단기준 5 2.2 충돌 및 좌초 모델 8 2.3 충돌 및 좌초 시나리오 16 3. 실선 충돌 시뮬레이션을 통한 구조 안전성 평가 19 3.1 500톤 연안대형어선 충돌선의 충돌 시뮬레이션 결과 19 3.2 1,000톤 원양어선 충돌선의 충돌 시뮬레이션 결과 21 3.3 3,700톤 일반화물선 충돌선의 충돌 시뮬레이션 결과 23 3.4 10,500톤 석유제품운반선 충돌선의 충돌 시뮬레이션 결과 25 3.5 35,000톤 유조선 충돌선의 충돌 시뮬레이션 결과 28 3.6 충돌 시나리오에 따른 선측구조 안전성 평가 고찰 38 4. 운반용기 및 운반물의 내충돌 안전성 평가 39 4.1 운반용기 및 운반물의 내충돌 응답해석 결과 39 4.2 운반용기 및 운반물의 내충돌 안전성 평가 고찰 46 5. 실선 좌초 시뮬레이션을 통한 구조 안전성 평가 48 5.1 실선 좌초 시뮬레이션 결과 48 5.2 좌초선박 선저부의 좌초에 따른 안전성 평가 53 5.3 선저부의 좌초에 따른 안전성 평가 고찰 54 6. 결 론 54 참고문헌 5

    koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist

    No full text
    We 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 text
    In 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.
