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
Obtaining of strains of Kluyveromyces lactis recombinants producers of the vaccine SBm 7462 against the tick Riphicephalus (Boophilus) microplus (Canestrini, 1887)
No full textO peptídeo denominado SBm 7462 (Sintético Boophilus microplus 7462) é uma vacina desenvolvida a partir da seqüência da proteína intestinal do carrapato B. microplus denominada Bm 86 apresentando ação imunogênica contra o mesmo. O carrapato B. microplus é um importante artrópode da medicina veterinária devido a perdas econômicas e problemas de saúde causados pelo referido parasita no gado da América Central e do Sul, bem como da Austrália. Este trabalho descreve a obtenção de linhagens de Kluyveromyces lactis recombinantes produtoras do referido peptídeo. Dois vetores de expressão integrativos foram construídos a partir do vetor pKLAC1: pKLAC1-seq1, contendo a seqüência 1 constituída por três cópias da seqüência de nucleotídeos que codifica para o SBm 7462 e o pKLAC1-seq4, contendo a seqüência 4 constituída por uma única cópia da seqüência de nucleotídeos que codifica o SBm 7462. As construções foram confirmadas por sequenciamento. O cassete de integração obtido pela clivagem do vetor com a enzima SacII foi utilizado na transformação da linhagem selvagem de K. lactis CBS2359. A integração dos cassetes por recombinação homóloga no locus LAC4 foi confirmada por PCR. A análise dos recombinantes de K. lactis por RT-PCR e a detecção do peptídeo, utilizando anticorpos monoclonais contra SBm 7462, comprovaram a transcrição e a expressão extracelular dos peptídeos. Os recombinantes foram cultivados em regime de batelada em YPGlicerol, alcançando uma concentração de biomassa de 10 g·L-1. A biomassa obtida foi transferida para o meio YNB com 4% (p/v) de lactose para induzir o promotor LAC4 e a síntese de SBm 7462 recombinante. Amostras foram analisadas quanto à concentração de proteína extracelular, por eletroforese em SDS-PAGE e detecção do imunógeno. A indução da síntese dos peptídeos foi testada sob duas condições: sem pulso adicional de lactose e com pulso de lactose, a cada 24 horas, durante 144 horas de indução. A concentração de proteínas extracelulares na segunda condição foi maior quando comparada com a condição sem pulso adicional de lactose. Atividade proteolítica não foi detectada no sobrenadante. O perfil eletroforético em SDS-PAGE revelando três bandas de aproximadamente 6, 10 e 21 kDa relacionadas ao peptídeo de interesse é discutido. A detecção do peptídeo vacinal com anticorpos monoclonais comprovou a presença extracelular do rSBm 7462.The peptide designated SBm 7462 (Synthetic Boophilus microplus 7462) induces an immunogenic response against the tick B. microplus, an important arthropods in veterinary medicine due to the economic losses and the health problems caused in cattle production in Central and South America and Australia. Here we describe the construction of recombinant Kluyveromyces lactis yeast strains expressing the gene for rSBm 7462. Two integrative expression cassettes harboring one or three copies of the nucleotide sequence coding for the SBm 7462 were built from the vector pKLAC1. The construction of the expression vectors was confirmed by sequencing. The transformation of wild type K. lactis CBS2359, was performed and the integration of the cassettes by homologous recombination into the LAC4 locus of the transformed K. lactis genomes was verified by PCR. The transcription and extracellular expression of the peptides have been confirmed in recombinants K. lactis strains by RT-PCR and monoclonal antibodies against SBm 7462. The recombinants were cultured in shake-flask YPGlycerol medium generating 10 g·L-1 biomass. The biomass obtained was transferred to mineral medium with lactose 4% (w/v) to induce the LAC4 promoter and the synthesis of recombinant SBm 7462. Samples were analyzed for total protein, SDS-PAGE and immunogenic detection. The peptide production was investigated under two conditions: with additional lactose pulse at 24 hours intervals during 144 hours of induction and with no additional lactose pulse. The extracellular protein concentration in the first condition was higher compared to the condition with no additional pulse of lactose. Proteolytic activity was not detected into the medium. Three major protein bands of approximated 6, 10 and 21 kDa related to the desired peptide were detected by SDS-PAGE.Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológic
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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe 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
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe 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
