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
Temperature-Compensated Microstrip Antenna for Ice Measurement and Wireless Sensor Network
Full text linkRÉSUMÉ: L'objectif principal de cette thèse est de concevoir et de développer une technique de compensation de température liée à la fréquence de résonance d'une antenne microruban. Une telle antenne microruban compensée en température, capable de résister à une variation importante de température, est utilisée comme une partie d'un capteur pour mesurer l'épaisseur de la charge de la glace. Les antennes microruban conçues de cette manière sont utilisées dans un réseau de capteurs de température sans fil en relation avec ses applications critiques d'un système de dégivrage d'hélicoptère. Un prototype de réseau de capteurs de température sans fil qui contrôle à distance la mise en marche ou l'arrêt des appareils de chauffage destinés au dégivrage est développé. Parmi toutes les autres antennes, l'antenne microruban est sélectionnée en raison de sa polyvalence. Aussi, sa fréquence de résonance souffre d'un problème de stabilité due à sa susceptibilité à des facteurs externes tels que les fluctuations de température. En plus, sa résonance provoquant une largeur de bande de fréquence étroite ne conduit pas à une solution directement préférée. Pour minimiser l'instabilité de fréquence induite par la température et aussi pour éviter de perdre le signal ou les interférences des canaux adjacents, on a besoin de développer une technique de compensation de température très efficace et pratique. Dans ce travail, une technique de compensation de la température efficace et pratique est conçue pour les antennes microruban. La technique de compensation imagée est supérieure à la technique existante, tant dans sa simplicité que dans sa stabilité en fréquence. A notre, connaissance, rien de semblable n'a été fait auparavant. Pour la première fois, la dépendance de la fréquence de résonance de l'antenne microruban en fonction de la température est étudiée à l'aide d'une formulation mathématique de la déviation de fréquence pour les géométries rectangulaires, circulaires et triangulaires. Le modèle de circuit est adopté pour l'analyse de l'impact de la température sur la fréquence de résonance de l'antenne microruban appropriée pour les procédures de CAO (conception assistée par ordinateur). Les simulations électromagnétiques sur les résultats de la théorie de déviation du modèle de circuit adopté. Les résultats de l'impact de la température sur la dérive de fréquence des antennes microruban résonnant à 2,4 GHz modélisées sur différents substrats sont présentés et comparés. ABSTRACT: The primary goal of this thesis is to devise and develop a technique of temperature compensation related to the resonant frequency of a microstrip patch antenna (MPA). Such a temperature-compensated microstrip patch antenna capable of standing against a substantial variation of temperature is exploited as part of an ice-sensor for measuring ice loading thickness. Microstrip antennas designed in this way are used in a wireless temperature sensor network in connection with its critical applications of a helicopter de-icing system. A prototype of wireless temperature sensor network which remotely controls turning-on or turning-off heaters intended for de-icing is developed. Among all other antennas, the microstrip antenna is selected due to its versatility. Thanks to the susceptibility of the microstrip patch antenna to external factors, such as temperature fluctuations, its resonant frequency suffers from a stability issue. In addition to that, its resonance causing a narrow frequency bandwidth does not lead to a straightforwardly preferred solution. To minimize the temperature-induced frequency instability and also to prevent losing signal or interferences from adjacent channels, one needs to develop a very efficient and practical temperature compensation technique. In this work, an efficient and practical technique through a resonant frequency temperature compensation for microstrip patch antennas is devised, which is superior to existing counterparts both in its simplicity and frequency stability. To the best of the author`s knowledge, nothing similar was done before. For the first time, a temperature dependence of microstrip antenna resonant frequency is investigated through a mathematical formulation of frequency drift for rectangular, circular, and triangular patch geometries. The circuit model for analyzing temperature impact on microstrip antenna resonant frequency suitable for computer-aided design (CAD) procedures is adopted. Electromagnetic simulations along with results of the adopted circuit model support the derived theory. Results of temperature impact on the frequency drift of microstrip antennas resonant at 2.4 GHz modelled on different substrates are shown and compared. Analysis, simulation, and experimental results show that antennas built on thicker substrates exhibit a better temperature behaviour of the resonant frequency. Based on a theoretically formulated frequency drift, a temperature compensation condition for the rectangular patch geometry of MPA is derived
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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn 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.
