Switching between symmetric and asymmetric separation-induced shock reflections in an oscillatory duct flow
Separation-induced shock reflections in straight ducts are generally considered asymmetric for Mach numbers beyond 2.2, but our experiment shows that this is not always the case. A symmetric shock pattern, a proven outcome of following the free-interaction theory (FIT), is observed to appear in an oscillatory duct flow at a Mach number of 2.47. Interestingly, its existence is restricted to the period when the shocks move forward. Once a full retreat starts, it changes suddenly into an utterly asymmetric style that conforms to the past observation. This behavior indicates that the FIT fundamentally plays a limited role in supersonic duct flows. Published under an exclusive license by AIP Publishing.</p

雅鲁藏布江水化学演变规律
In order to explore the hydro-chemical evolution law of the Yarlung Zanglxt River Basin from 1973 to 2020, the hydro-chemical characteristics and major ion sources were studied using a Piper diagram, Gibbs diagram, ion ratio, and correlation analysis, and the irrigation applicability of the Yarlung Zangbo River was evaluated using the sodium adsorption ratio ( SAR), sodium percentage ( Na+% ), and permeability index ( PI). The results showed that the mean value of TDS was (208. 30 ± 58. 26) mg·L-1, which increased with time. Ca2+was the dominant cation, accounting for (65. 49 ±7. 67)% of the total cations. HCO3-and SO2-4were the dominant anions, accounting for (68. 56 ± 9. 84) % and (26. 85 ± 9. 82) % of the main anions, respectively. The annual growth rates of Ca2+, HCO3-andSO2-4were respectively 2. 07, 3. 19, and 4. 70 mg·(L·10 a)-1. The hydro-chemical type of the Yarlung Zangbo River was HCO3-Ca type, and the main ionic chemistry was controlled by the chemical weathering of carbonate rocks. The weathering of carbonate rocks during the period of 1973 to 1990 was mainly controlled by carbonation, whereas from 2001 to 2020 it was mainly controlled by both carbonation and sulfuric acid. The main ion concentrations in the mainstream of Yarlung Zangbo River were within the range of drinking water standards, with SAR between 0. 11 -0. 93, Na + % between 8. 00- 36. 73, and PI values between 0. 39- 0. 87, demonstrating that the waters were suitable for drinking and irrigation. The results were of great significance to the protection and sustainable development of water resources in the Yarlung Zangbo River Basin.No Full Tex
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
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
