Although sometimes considered to act only as a means of recognizing debts, acknowledgments give the opportunity for writers to display a self-conscious and reflective representation of self. Following this assumption and to reveal some of the ways this is achieved, a corpus of 80 textbook acknowledgments in the field of Linguistics and Applied Linguistics were analyzed in order to show what “se...

In this Research Article on page 20214, the correct energies for XPS peaks corresponding to Terrace-Top (TT) and Terrace-Bridge (TB) are 286.6 eV 285.9 eV, respectively. Acknowledgments section, authors would also like thank MAX-lab/MAX IV technical support during beam times perform experiments in UHV. The sincerely apologize these errors missing acknowledgment.

Abstract Current practices of quantifying academic performance by productivity raise serious concerns about the psychological well-being graduate students. These efforts often neglect influence researchers’ environment. Acknowledgments in dissertation subsections shed light on this environment providing an opportunity for students to thank people who supported them. We analysed 26,236 acknowled...

Abstract In the last decades, research in science mapping has delivered several powerful techniques, based on citation or textual analysis, for charting intellectual organization of fields. To map social network underlying and scholarship, by contrast, mainly relied one method, co-authorship analysis. This however, suffers from well-known limitations related to practice authorship. Moreover, it...

The role of acknowledgments given by researchers in their publications has been a recurrent challenge in the bibliometric field, but relatively unexplored until now. This study presents a general bibliometric analysis on the new ‘Funding Acknowledgment’ information available in the Web of Science. All publications covered by the database in 2009 have been analyzed. The presence and length of th...

Building on the concepts of the reward system of science and social capital, Blaise Cronin brought forth the idea that rewards in science are threefold, forming a triangle built from authorship, citations, and acknowledgements. Of these, acknowledgments are the hardest to grasp and evaluate. After nearly 45 years of multidisciplinary research on acknowledgments and a corpus of over 80 scientifi...

regulation of the age-related decline of pancreatic b-cell replication. In the above-cited article, one funding agency was not identified in the Acknowledgments. The information, " O.Z. is a New York Stem Cell Foundation–Druckenmiller Fellow, " should have been included in the Acknowledgments.

The thesis objective is to design an autonomous spacecraft architecture to perform both deliberative and reactive behaviors. The Autonomous Small Planet In-situ Reaction to Events (ASPIRE) project uses this architecture to integrate several autonomous technologies for a comet orbiter mission. This architecture uses the deliberative path for performing deliberative behaviors, and the three bypas...

" Architecture-driven synthesis techniques for mapping digital signal processing algorithms into silicon, " FSMs have a clear and unambiguous notion of a quantum of computation (one state transition), the problem reduces to determining what a quantum of computation is in the semantic model used to manage the concurrency and communication. This model could be a synchronous model, a dataflow mode...

Conjoint analysis is a family of techniques that originated in psychology and later become popular in market research. The main objective in conjoint analysis is to measure individual’s or population’s preferences on a set of options that can be described by parameters and their levels. Here we consider choice based conjoint analysis, where the preferences of the people are obtained from choice...
