Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe 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
Porphyromonas gingivalis: A Methodology for Culturing, Extracting, and Identifying Fimbriated Strains
No full textBackground/purpose – Fimbriated Porphyromonas gingivalis has been shown to contribute to periodontitis, atherosclerosis, and arthritis. While many studies have been done on the bacterium itself, there is little information on selectively culturing and identifying P. gingivalis from a sulcal swab. To further the work of establishing a link between the bacterium and these health conditions, a selective and repeatable method had to be established to detect the presence of fimbriated strains of P. gingivalis. The present study aimed to establish working protocols for identification of P. gingivalis variants in sulcal swabs and serve as the launching point for future studies looking into early diagnosis and prevention of periodontal disease.|Methods – Although several different methods were in the course of this study, only the most effective, selective, and repeatable processes were reported on herewith. Incubation of the paper points in a blood agar media was found to produce detectable levels of P. gingivalis only when incubated for at least 72 hours. Extraction was performed using PureLink® Genomic DNA Kits that used filters as opposed to magnetic beads, and the manufacturers protocols were followed for gram-negative bacteria. The extracted DNA was then equalized and prepared for PCR assay using the eight primers detailed in this study. Positive bands were recorded following gel electrophoresis and unanticipated results were verified through DNA sequencing.|Results – Through experimentation we were able to establish a successful means of detecting the presence of fimbriated P. gingivalis from sulcal swabs, and establish which primers are effective in binding to the desired genomes. Despite the efficacy of these protocols, alterations may be required based on the lab personnel’s needs and desired outcomes. |Conclusion – The present study establishes an effective method of culturing, extracting and identifying fimbriated strains of P. gingivalis from sulcal swabs and frozen samples. Future work in understanding the relationship between the bacterium and atherosclerosis may now be started, with the hopes of developing preventative drugs or therapies.ProQuest Traditional Publishing Optio
UML-B and Event-B: an integration of languages and tools
No full textUML-B is a graphical front end for Event-B. It adds support for class-oriented modelling but retains the Event-B concept of a closed system characterized by families of spontaneous events. UML-B is similar to UML but is essentially a new notation based on a separate meta-model. We provide tool support for UML-B, including drawing tools and a translator to generate Event-B models. The tools are closely integrated with the Event-B verification tools so that when a drawing is saved the translator automatically generates the corresponding Event-B model. The Event-B verification tools (syntax checker and prover) then run automatically providing an immediate display of problems. We introduce the UML-B notation its tool support and its integration with Event-B
