Identifying single influential publications in a research field: New analysis opportunities of the CRExplorer
Reference Publication Year Spectroscopy (RPYS) has been developed for
identifying the cited references (CRs) with the greatest influence in a given
paper set (mostly sets of papers on certain topics or fields). The program
CRExplorer (see www.crexplorer.net) was specifically developed by Thor, Marx,
Leydesdorff, and Bornmann (2016a, 2016b) for applying RPYS to publication sets
downloaded from Scopus or Web of Science. In this study, we present some
advanced methods which have been newly developed for CRExplorer. These methods
are able to identify and characterize the CRs which have been influential
across a longer period (many citing years). The new methods are demonstrated in
this study using all the papers published in Scientometrics between 1978 and
2016. The indicators N_TOP50, N_TOP25, and N_TOP10 can be used to identify
those CRs which belong to the 50%, 25%, or 10% most frequently cited
publications (CRs) over many citing publication years. In the Scientometrics
dataset, for example, Lotka's (1926) paper on the distribution of scientific
productivity belongs to the top 10% publications (CRs) in 36 citing years.
Furthermore, the new version of CRExplorer analyzes the impact sequence of CRs
across citing years. CRs can have below average (-), average (0), or above
average (+) impact in citing years (whereby average is meant in the sense of
expected values). The sequence (e.g. 00++---0--00) is used by the program to
identify papers with typical impact distributions. For example, CRs can have
early, but not late impact ("hot papers", e.g. +++---) or vice versa ("sleeping
beauties", e.g. ---0000---++)
Aerospace medicine and biology: A continuing bibliography with indexes (supplement 405)
This bibliography lists 225 reports, articles and other documents introduced into the NASA Scientific and Technical Information System during Sep. 1995. Subject coverage includes: aerospace medicine and physiology, life support systems and man/system technology, protective clothing, exobiology and extraterrestrial life, planetary biology, and flight crew behavior and performance
Space Station Systems: a Bibliography with Indexes (Supplement 8)
This bibliography lists 950 reports, articles, and other documents introduced into the NASA scientific and technical information system between July 1, 1989 and December 31, 1989. Its purpose is to provide helpful information to researchers, designers and managers engaged in Space Station technology development and mission design. Coverage includes documents that define major systems and subsystems related to structures and dynamic control, electronics and power supplies, propulsion, and payload integration. In addition, orbital construction methods, servicing and support requirements, procedures and operations, and missions for the current and future Space Station are included
Handbook of Mathematical Geosciences
This Open Access handbook published at the IAMG's 50th anniversary, presents a compilation of invited path-breaking research contributions by award-winning geoscientists who have been instrumental in shaping the IAMG. It contains 45 chapters that are categorized broadly into five parts (i) theory, (ii) general applications, (iii) exploration and resource estimation, (iv) reviews, and (v) reminiscences covering related topics like mathematical geosciences, mathematical morphology, geostatistics, fractals and multifractals, spatial statistics, multipoint geostatistics, compositional data analysis, informatics, geocomputation, numerical methods, and chaos theory in the geosciences
Recent Advances in Image Restoration with Applications to Real World Problems
In the past few decades, imaging hardware has improved tremendously in terms of resolution, making widespread usage of images in many diverse applications on Earth and planetary missions. However, practical issues associated with image acquisition are still affecting image quality. Some of these issues such as blurring, measurement noise, mosaicing artifacts, low spatial or spectral resolution, etc. can seriously affect the accuracy of the aforementioned applications. This book intends to provide the reader with a glimpse of the latest developments and recent advances in image restoration, which includes image super-resolution, image fusion to enhance spatial, spectral resolution, and temporal resolutions, and the generation of synthetic images using deep learning techniques. Some practical applications are also included

Cognitive Foundations for Visual Analytics
In this report, we provide an overview of scientific/technical literature on information visualization and VA. Topics discussed include an update and overview of the extensive literature search conducted for this study, the nature and purpose of the field, major research thrusts, and scientific foundations. We review methodologies for evaluating and measuring the impact of VA technologies as well as taxonomies that have been proposed for various purposes to support the VA community. A cognitive science perspective underlies each of these discussions
