The Mathematica code presented below is aimed to retrieve massive datasets from these search engines; indeed scholars are often ranked relatively to their colleagues in the same scientific area. Hence, to compute his own ranking, one must firstly retrieve the data pertinent to his area.


DigitAfter[page_,target_]:=Module[{tpos=Last[First[StringPosition[page, target]]]},
First[ToExpression[StringCases[StringTake[page, {tpos + 1, tpos + 6}], DigitCharacter..]]]];

tab = Table[ipage=Import[StringJoin["http://www.scopus.com/authid/detail.url?authorId=",authors[[i,1]]]];
doc = DigitAfter[ipage, "This author has published"];
cit = DigitAfter[ipage, "This author has been cited"];
hi = DigitAfter[ipage, "h Index"];
{authors[[i, 2]], doc, cit, Round[10 cit/doc]/10., hi}, {i, Length[authors]}];
TableForm[SortBy[tab, -Part[#, -2] &],
TableHeadings -> {None, {"Author", "Docs", "Cits", "AvCit", "h-Index"}}]

The example which involve only two scholars (namely Gurtin ME and Batra RC) gives you:

Of course you can run the code with a list of as many authors you like once you retrieve their authorid‘s from Scopus.

Arbitrary means that you do not need equally-spaced points: this turns to be particularly useful when you want refine the mesh around some special point (for instance at the boundaries). As an example here it is the stencil for the forward approximation of the 4-order derivative using 5 points not equally spaced:

The function FDDiscretize does all the job for you in order to discretize a given ODEs system with the desidered stencil.

… and what I found exciting is that you feel that is new, living and continuously moving as you go to your friend house open HIS browser and find YOUR OS!

It is actually based on a ubuntu-patched kernel and under the skin it is nothing but a leightweight ubuntu… I would have preferred something more in the KISS philosophy… but you can’t have all… don’t you?!

Anyway it’s for my wife, I stick with arch!

Try using it with any barcode reader (Android phones, iPhone, …)

Hence I have the following alias in my .bashrc:
alias scpres="rsync --partial --progress --rsh=ssh"
which support the same syntax of scp.

1) uzbl: impressively fast and usable, lightweight, not for everybody
2) Chromium: very fast but frequent bugs
3) Firefox: stability and tons of plugins

V8 benchmark suite is here.
