Responses of young-of-the-year bluefish, Pomatomus saltatrix, exposed to contaminants from an urban estuary
No full textCertain populations of young-of-the-year (YOY) bluefish, Pomatomus saltatrix, reside in contaminated estuaries of the mid-Atlantic bight during periods of rapid growth and development. YOY bluefish from the Tuckerton, NJ area of Great Bay (TK) were fed daily in a laboratory with common prey fish, menhaden and mummichog, from two sites: TK (reference) or Hackensack River (HR) (contaminated). Bluefish were also collected from the HR and TK site for analysis. HR-fed and field-caught bluefish and HR prey fish and stomach contents contained significantly elevated concentrations of PCBs, DDTs, and mercury. HR bluefish had reduced growth, feeding, and activity. tPCB and tDDT concentrations in prey in the stomachs of HR bluefish were higher than those in the field-caught specimens. Prey with higher body burdens may become slower and easier to capture. If bluefish are preferentially foraging on such prey, greater amounts of contaminants can be trophically transferred. PCB congeners accumulated at different concentrations creating PCB fingerprints which correlated with feeding ecology of the fish. PCB fingerprints in the HR-fed bluefish were nearly identical to each other and closest to that of the mummichog, their sole prey during the last month of the feeding experiment. PCB fingerprints of field-caught bluefish were similar to menhaden, the dominant prey in HR field bluefish stomachs. In contaminated marine systems PCB fingerprints can be utilized to establish trophic levels and possibly prey preference in individual fish. In addition to altered behavior and growth, the HR-fed and field bluefish had significantly enlarged, irregular thyroid follicles, lined with thickened epithelial cells compared to the TK fish. The mean concentration of dopamine metabolites and the dopaminergic activity levels were significantly lower in HR field fish than in TK field. In contrast the mean concentrations of dopamine and serotonin and their metabolites and norepinephrine were significantly greater in the HR-fed bluefish compared the TK-fed. Overall the exposed fish displayed neurological and hormonal disruptions that may be responsible for their altered behavior and growth. In conclusion, the altered growth, feeding, activity and physiology of YOY bluefish exposed to these contaminated regimes may have detrimental effects on migration fitness and recruitment success.Ph.D.Includes abstractVitaIncludes bibliographical referencesby Allison C.

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
