Metrics and Rankings: Myths and Fallacies
In this paper we provide an introduction to the field of Bibliometrics. In particular, first we briefly describe its beginning and its evolution; we mention the main research fora as well. Further we categorize metrics according to their entity scope: metrics for journals, conferences and authors. Several rankings have appeared based on such metrics. It is argued that these metrics and rankings...
متن کاملMULTIPLIERS AND THEIR APPLICATIONS IN EARTHQUAKE ENGINEERING
In this paper we shall study the multipliers on Banach algebras and We prove some results concerning Arens regularity and amenability of the Banach algebra M(A) of all multipliers on a given Banach algebra A. We also show that, under special hypotheses, each Jordan multiplier on a Banach algebra without order is a multiplier. Finally, we present some applications of m...
متن کاملFacts and Fallacies of Software Engineering
Designed for use in the classroom, the author's mission is to teach newcomers to the field the fundamental facts of software engineering and point out fallacies in the thinking of both practitioners and theorists. A distillation of Glass's half century of software experience, the book offers a personal, somewhat biased, look at the field that may actually be more helpful to people who have work...
متن کاملSoil Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering
Reduced dimensionality representation of strong ground motion records as a superposition of a relatively small number of pulses is studied. Such representation is obtained by the expansion of velocity in orthogonal wavelet series using the Fast Wavelet Transform, and approximation by only the largest energy terms in the series. The Coiflet 5 wavelet family is used, which is orthogonal, smooth a...
متن کامل33 Bits of Entropy: Myths and Fallacies of "Personally Identifiable Information"
Data is the currency of the digital economy, but increasing data collection by companies and sharing with third parties threatens privacy. “Anonymization” is the usual answer to privacy concerns, typically implemented via removal of “personally identifiable information.” Sweeney’s work on reidentification of Massachusetts hospital records showed that naive deidentification via PII removal can b...
