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
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

Karakteristike zvuka u suvremenom horor filmu
No full textKroz primjere reprezentativnih filmova rad pokušava klasificirati i objasniti funkcije zvuka u suvremenom horor filmu. Fokus je na obrascima zvuka u horor filmovima posljednjih desetljeća. Dok se većina radova o horor filmu fokusira na pitanja straha, percepcije i povijesti žanra, ovaj rad analizira metode pomoću kojih redatelji i montažeri dolaze do željenog efekta kod publike.The thesis attempts to classify and explain the functions of sound in contemporary horror film through the examples of representative films with the focus on sound patterns of horror films in recent decades. While most theses on horror film focus on the issues of fear, perception and history of the genre, this thesis analyses the directors' and editors' approaches necessary to achieve the desired effect with the audience
Smart Mailbox
No full textNastanak pametnog poštanskog sandučića (eng.Smart Mailbox) se odvija u dva dijela, kreće se s projektiranjem cjelokupnog sustava kojim se upravlja preko Arduino UNO R3 mikrokontrolera, a koji se sastoji od poštanskog sandučića u koji se ugrađuje senzor pokreta za detektiranje pošte i javljanje vlasniku putem LCD-a, otključavanje poštanskog sandučića se vrši pomoću senzora vibracija koji detektira kucanje i otvara pomoću pneumatskog aktuatora. Drugi korak je programiranje Arduino mikrokontrolera, a na kraju sve komponente trebaju raditi na funkcionalan način.
Kada poštar ubaci pismo u poštanski sandučić, senzor pokreta detektira pismo i šalje signal Arduino mikrokontroleru koji taj signal prosljeđuje na LCD i na njemu se ispisuje poruka „Stigla pošta“. Vlasnik poštanskog sandučića kuca po kućištu u kojem se nalazi senzor vibracija, detektiranjem kucanja, signal se prosljeđuje do Arduino mikrokontrolera te se šalje signal na pneumatski razvodnik 5/3 koji pomoću stlačenog zraka pokreće cilindar i otključava vrata. Tipkalom se restarta cijeli sustav.The assembly of The Smart Mailbox consists out of three components. Starting with the programming of whole control system is done via Arduino UNO R3 microcontroller. It consists out of a mailbox in which a motion detecting sensor is installed for detecting incoming mail and displaying that information for the user on a LCD. Vibration sensor unlocks the mailbox by registering knocks trough pneumatic actuators. Lastly after the programming of the Arduino microcontroller is adequately done all of the aforementioned parts have to work accordingly.
That moment when the mailman inserts a letter into the mailbox motion sensor detects the letter and sends a signal to the Arduino microcontroller which in turn forwards that signal to the LCD displaying “Mail arrived” message. The user can then knock on the housing of the mailbox with a vibration sensor inside. That triggers the Arduino microcontroller to send a signal to the 5/3 pneumatic distributor that powers the cylinder and unlocks the door with the use of air. To reset the system a button can be used
