Identification of QTL Conferring Resistance to Fusarium Head Blight Resistance in the Breeding Line C93‐3230‐24
Control of Fusarium head blight (FHB), incited primarily by Fusarium graminearum Schwabe [telomorph Gibberella zea (Schwein)], has been a challenge for barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) producers in the upper midwestern United States for more than a decade. This disease manifests primarily in the form of food safety issues and quality discounts due to the presence of deoxynivalenol (DON), a mycotoxin produced by the pathogen. Cultural practices and fungicides only provide partial control; genetic resistance to FHB and DON accumulation may add to control of the disease. Field studies in North Dakota and China were conducted in FHB disease nurseries using 118 double-haploid lines from the cross C93-3230-24/'Foster'. Foster is susceptible to FHB, and C93-3230-24 is moderately resistant. The quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis revealed five putative QTL for Type I FHB resistance; however, only the one in bins 7 and 8 of chromosome 2H was detected in more than 70% of the environments. In addition, QTL associated with late days to heading and maturity and tall plant height also were located in the same region. Three putative QTL for increased DON accumulation were detected; however, none were detected in more than three of the eight environments where data were collected. On the basis of these results, it is unlikely that C93-3230-24 has a novel QTL for FHB resistance different from those identified in other resistant accessions. However, C93-3230-24 is unique in that it provides QTL for improved FHB resistance but not reduced DON accumulation. This is an atypical response compared with other sources of FHB resistance and provides evidence that FHB resistance and DON accumulation are under separate genetic contro

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
