    Dorsal cell movements during zebrafish gastrulation includes a combination of epiboly, involution, and convergence and extension along the embryonic axis. Note that videos CIL 11818, 11819, and 11820 are all of the same sequence. 11819 is the raw data, 11818 can be viewed in 3D when wearing red/blue glasses and 11820 has some cells marked with colored dots for tracking the movement and timing of cell involution and convergence.. Cells closer to the margin involute first and end up in more anterior locations in the hypoblast, while cell involuting later move to more posterior locations along the anterior-posterior axis.

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

    Variations on the Author

    “Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    We provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    We conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more sophisticated methods

    An application of the UNI/TS 11820:2022 on the measurement of circularity in an electrical equipment manufacturing organization in Italy

    Get PDF
    Data acquisition to measure circularity in processes and organizations represents a challenge, due to non-homogeneous quantification methods and different definitions related to resources consumption and waste generation. Furthermore, data interpretation has long been irreconcilable due to the absence of harmonized indicators for the measurement of circularity of processes and organizations. The UNI/TS 11820:2022 has developed (and standardized) for the first time a set of 71 indicators for the circular economy, which allows the assessment of the circularity levels in a replicable and comparable manner. The present research, after an in-depth analysis of the novel technical specification UNI/TS 11820:2022 on “Measurement of Circularity – Methods and Indicators for Measuring Circular Processes in Organizations”, measures the level of circularity in an electrical equipment manufacturing organization in Southern Italy. The purpose is to test the handiness of the UNI/TS 11820:2022, improve the knowledge about the technical standard and highlight its strengths and weaknesses from the managerial, theoretical and public authorities’ perspective. The UNI/TS 11820:2022 represents an essential tool to verify the effectiveness of circularity strategies at the micro (single organization) level, but it appears still complex to be applied among organizations, which do not rely on environmental and material accounting systems. Several efforts are required by academia and companies to increase the application of the standard in various NACE sectors. Moreover, although the standard aims at bridging theoretical and practical gaps towards a harmonized set of measurement tools, still some indicators seem to miss, and public authorities and universities should promote basic and advanced education in the field of circular economy measurement

    We have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
