Increasing Effectiveness through Delegation

PurposeThis article explores citing and referencing systems in social sciences and medicine articles from different theoretical and practical perspectives, considering bibliographic references as a facet of descriptive representation.Design/methodology/approachThe analysis of citing and referencing elements (i.e. bibliographic references, mentions, quotations and respective in-text reference pointers) identified citing and referencing habits within disciplines under consideration and errors occurring over the long term as stated by previous studies now expanded. Future expected trends of information retrieval from bibliographic metadata was gathered by approaching these referencing elements from the Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR) entities concepts.FindingsReference styles do not fully accomplish with their role of guiding authors and publishers on providing concise and well-structured bibliographic metadata within bibliographic references. Trends on representative description revision suggest a predicted distancing on the ways information is approached by bibliographic references and bibliographic catalogs adopting FRBR concepts, including the description levels adopted by each of them under the perspective of the FRBR entities concept.Research limitations/implicationsThis study was based on a subset of medicine and social sciences articles published in 2019 and, therefore, it may not be taken as a final and broad coverage. Future studies expanding these approaches to other disciplines and chronological periods are encouraged.Originality/valueBy approaching citing and referencing issues as descriptive representation's facets, findings on this study may encourage further studies that will support information science and computer science on providing tools to become bibliographic metadata description simpler, better structured and more efficient facing the revision of descriptive representation actually in progress.

Machine learning models have gained prominence over the years for discovering patterns in data without the need for rule-based programming. The present work aimed to study the application of three machine learning algorithms (Random Forest, Support Vector Regression, and Artificial Neural Networks) to predict the performance of different membranes used in the permeation of pure gases. Additionally, the work aimed to investigate the main factors influencing this process. A data repository (called the Original Database) was built, comprising 1672 records referring to experimental work, from 42 different bibliographic references, focusing on those who have studied the permeation capacity of methane. For modeling, filtering was performed, resulting in a database consisting of 692 records from 19 different bibliographic references. These records were well-distributed in terms of membrane type and gas permeability. Furthermore, 3 different membrane types (Polymeric, Zeolite, and MOF) and 9 different feed stream gases (He, H2, CO2, O2, N2, CH4, ethylene, ethane, and SF6) were considered. Initially, 16 input attributes were used, with permeability as the target attribute. All machine learning models evaluated were adequate to predict the permeation performance of different membranes under various circumstances of the database. Different objective functions were investigated in the process of optimizing the model's hyperparameters. The main attributes that influenced the prediction were the Average Pore Size, the Feed Gas Kinetic Diameter, and the Specific Surface Area. Most other attributes (Average Thickness, Total Pore Volume, Age, Temperature, Pressure Difference, Sweep Gas Kinetic Diameter, Feed Gas Molar Mass, Feed Gas Polarizability, and Gas Fraction) can be considered of low relevance to model prediction. To simplify the modeling and remove the noise variables, some attributes were removed using the Random Forests (FA) model. In this process, six attributes were removed, and the prediction performance remained unchanged with a Mean Absolute Percent Error of 4.9 and 8.3% and an R2 of 0.98 and 0.96 for the training and test sets, respectively. Finally, the selectivities of four binary systems (He/CH4, H2/CH4, CO2/CH4, and N2/CH4) were estimated using the previously trained FA model, which also proved to be adequate with an R2 above 0.8 and an RMSE below 0.18 in all cases.

This is a correction of a technical nature to the paper mentioned in the title and hereafter referred to as [0]. Other bibliographic references with the exception of [0] will be the bibliographic references given in [0]. We shall use the notation and results given there through Lemma 2 without further comment. The error in [0] first appears in the proof of Lemma 3, and affects that part of the proof of Theorem 1 which appears after Lemma 3. Similar difficulties arise in the proof of Theorem 2, but since the proof is essentially the same, we only make a few brief remarks concerning it. The revisions of the theorem that must be made are sufficiently mild that they do not affect the applicability of the results the (formal) Schrodinger differential operators which arise in physics. Before stating the revised version of Theorem 1 we make the following DEFINITION. A vector field b on R is said to be an admissible vector potential if it is of class C2 and f I b I2exp[ al x 12]dx 0. An extended real-valued Borel measurable function V on R is said to be a b-amissible scalar potential if in the notation of [0] we have: (i) D(V+) n D(X(b; 0; CO) is dense in L2(RN); and (ii) D(V-) c CO and there exists k > oo such that for all 0 e C (R) we have

The study presents the state of the problem in theory and practice of ontology of conceptual apparatus for processing bibliographic information. It specifies the essence of the ontology of fundamental concepts of bibliographic apparatus. The structure of the “bibliography” concept is shown. The substantial characteristics of the bibliography are determined. Meanings of the bibliography, bibliographic information, bibliographic list, bibliographic record, bibliographic description, and bibliographical reference are explained. The important features of GOST 7.1 – 2003 and GOST R7.0.5 – 2008, which show the differences in the elements of bibliographic description, and bibliographical references, are highlighted. Classification of the bibliography concepts is demonstrated. On the basis of the bibliography conceptual apparatus and its common scheme, the mental map of bibliographic information is developed. This makes possible to form the structure of the bibliographic information in the XML-document for further automation of bibliographic information processing and formation the informational structure in the software module of synthesis and analysis of bibliographic references.

Bibliographic reference lists are important constitutive features of academic papers. The nature of academic research involves the production and generation of bibliographic references, and the consequent books and articles contain bibliographic references of works used and/or cited. Bibliographies and reference lists have been used as data for methodological techniques such as citation analysis and network analysis but are rarely treated as socially organized textual artifacts, that is, as topics in their own right. This article looks at some properties of bibliographies and focuses on a known‐in‐common feature of research literature: the temporal organization of bibliographies. This involves the reading and comparison of texts and their accompanying bibliographies. This article concentrates on the emergence of the study of texts in the sociological fields of ethnomethodology and conversation analysis as a demonstration of the contingent and temporally organized nature of academic publishing.
