Human Geography as an Important Part of the Quantitative Revolution

The scientific method is a way of conducting research, based on theory construction, the generation of testable hypotheses, their empirical testing, and the revision of theory if the hypothesis is rejected. It is associated with the positivist tradition. It came to the fore in human geography as an important part of the quantitative revolution. Like other aspects of the quantitative revolution, it came under attack in the 1970s, largely because it could not accommodate entities that are not observable or testable. It is questionable whether substantial numbers of human geographers ever used the scientific method, or indeed whether many physical or natural scientists did so. Nevertheless, aspects of the scientific method, such as the generation and testing of hypotheses, are still influential in many aspects of human geography.
To compute the similarity of scientific papers, text-based similarity measures, link-based similarity measures, and hybrid methods can be applied. The text-based and link-based similarity measures take into account only a single aspect of scientific papers, content or citations, respectively. The hybrid methods consider both content and citations; however, they do not carefully consider the relation between the content of a pair of papers involved in a citation relationship. In this paper, we propose a novel method, SimCC (similarity based on content and citations), that considers aspects, content and citations, to compute the similarity of scientific papers. Unlike previous methods, SimCC effectively reflects both content and authority of scientific papers simultaneously in similarity computation by applying a new RA (relevance and authority) weighting scheme. Also, we propose an RA+R weighting scheme to consider the recency of papers and an RA+E weighting scheme to take into account the author expertise of papers in similarity computation. The effectiveness of our proposed method is demonstrated by extensive experiments on a real-world dataset of scientific papers. The results show that our method achieves more than 100% improvement in accuracy in comparison with previous methods. The novelty of the work is the development and research of a new highly accelerated capillary-porous cooling system for elements of gas turbine units, operating in the field of mass and capillary forces. Original models were created and a mechanism for the heat and mass transfer process in a capillary-porous cooling system was developed. First, equations were obtained for calculating the limiting heat fluxes and stresses for a poorly heat-conducting capillary-porous structure.
