A spectroscopic analysis of the eclipsing nova-like EC 21178−5417 – discovery of spiral density structures
No full textWe present phase-resolved optical spectroscopy of the eclipsing nova-like cataclysmic variable EC 21178−5417 obtained between 2002 and 2013. The average spectrum of EC 21178−5417 shows broad double-peaked emission lines from He II 4686 Å (strongest feature) and the Balmer series. The high-excitation feature, C III/N III at 4640–4650 Å, is also present and appears broad in emission. A number of other lines, mostly He I, are clearly present in absorption and/or emission
Comparison of routine oxygen consumption rates of three species of pleuronectids conducted at three temperatures
No full textThe oxygen consumption of 3 species of pleuronectids, the yellowtail flounder, Pleuronectes ferruginea, the winter flounder, P. americanus, and the American plaice, Hippoglossoides platessoides, were studied under simulated, land-based aquaculture conditions. Routine oxygen consumption (ROC) rates for groups of each species were measured simultaneously using single pass flow-through respirometry. The initial comparison of these species indicated significant differences in routine oxygen consumption among species. The measurements were repeated at 2 degrees C, 11 degrees and 14 degrees . The ROC rates of yellowtail and winter flounders differed significantly at each temperature. ROC rates of American plaice were significantly different at 14 degrees C compared with the other 2 temperatures..CF: Aquaculture Canada '96 - 13th Annual meeting of the Aquaculture Association of Canada, Ottawa, Canada, 2-5 June 1996.; RE: 9 ref.; SC: ZA; CA; BE; ZE; 0NSource type: Electronic(1) http://upei-resolver.asin-risa.ca?sid=SP:CABI&id=pmid:&id=&issn=0840-5417&isbn=&volume=96-3&issue=%203&spage=18&pages=18-20&date=1996&title=Bulletin%20of%20the%20Aquaculture%20Association%20of%20Canada&atitle=Comparison%20of%20routine%20oxygen%20consumption%20rates%20of%20three%20species%20of%20pleuronectids%20conducted%20at%20three%20temperatures.&aulast=MacIsaac&pid=%3Cauthor%3EMacIsaac%2c%20P%20F%3bGoff%2c%20G%20P%3bSpeare%2c%20D%20J%3C%2Fauthor%3E%3CAN%3E19981402196%3C%2FAN%3E%3CDT%3EConference%20paper%3bJournal%20article%3C%2FDT%3
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
Abstract 5417: Expansion of effector regulatory T-cells represents a novel and independent prognostic factor marking escape from immune surveillance in Myleodysplastic Syndrome
No full textAbstract
Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) refer to a group of pathophysiologically diverse hematopoietic neoplasms associated with cytopenias, myeloid dysplasia, and variable acute myeloid leukemia risk. Response to immunosuppressive therapies (IST) in a subset of younger patients classified as lower-risk by the International Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS) suggests that inflammation and immune reactivity in the bone marrow likely plays a role in early MDS pathogenesis. Conversely, higher-risk patients with more established disease do not respond to IST. Previous reports of increased regulatory T-cells (Tregs) in these patients suggest that immune escape may be required for progression to higher-risk disease. The distinct changes in the role of the immune system between lower and higher-risk disease suggests that MDS may progress according to established principles of cancer immuno-editing involving elimination, equilibrium and escape phases. Because Treg suppressive activity is dependant upon auto-antigen presentation, we hypothesized that analyzing the activation state of Tregs may better reflect the onset of tumor-induced immune suppression in MDS and have better prognostic utility than measuring total Treg numbers alone. Here, we use a panel of surface markers on Tregs that are normally employed to distinguish effector and memory populations among conventional T-cells and analyzed the resulting subpopulations for associations with clinical features including overall survival (OS) among patients predominantly classified as lower-risk. Abnormal numbers of Treg subtypes were seen in 18 (34.6%) of 52 patients compared to age-matched controls. The most prominent and unique change in MDS patients was an expansion of effector Tregs (TregEff) which was significantly associated with anemia (p=0.046) and reduced hemoglobin (p=0.038). This group of patients had increased blast percentage (p=0.006) and displayed worse OS by Cox-regression (HR 4.3, 95% CI 1.6-11.6, p=0.004) independent of IPSS (p=0.002) and the MD Anderson Scoring System (MDAS) (p=0.047). Increased TregEff numbers were not dependant on total Treg numbers. Rather, they came at the expense of central memory Tregs suggesting that Treg “class switching” may reflect active presentation of auto-antigens. When isolated, TregEff cells displayed increased suppressive capacity compared to other Treg subpopulations and heightened TregEff numbers were limited to patients with elevated blasts (tumor burden), suggesting a mechanistic link between immune-evasion and MDS progression. The MDAS significantly refined OS estimates (p<0.001) compared to IPSS. Using the MDAS, OS in higher-risk patients could be further stratified using TregEff numbers (p=0.018), suggesting that enumeration of TregEff cells may improve prognostication and impact therapeutic selection in MDS.
