No full textFigure S1. Transcription profiles of the most significantly overexpressed major genes studied in the different exposure groups relative to the susceptible strain, Kisumu, reveals no difference in over-expression of genes in mosquitoes exposed to Type 1 (B) and 2 (C) pyrethroids and DDT (A) but a striking difference in expression profile of mosquitoes exposed to PBO -significantly expressing only GSTs (D).
Figure S2. Time series analysis of An. gambiae mortality rates reveals decreasing ability of PBO nets to kill highly resistant mosquitoes. In the analysis, only experimental hut studies with mosquitoes that were exposed to unwashed PermaNet and Olyset nets between 2010 and 2020 were chosen. Overall, LLINs performance decreased with time with level of resistance in mosquito populations
Figure S3. STRING protein network analysis reveals interlinkage between the overexpressed genes in mosquitoes exposed to PBO. The analysis reveals relationship between GSTE5 (A), GSTD1 aka GST1a (B) and GSTMS3 aka GSTMIC3 (C) possibly explaining the overexpression of genes could have been through a co-expression effect.</p

qPCR AriaMx files for the different groups of mosquitoes exposed and unexposed to insecticides
No full textThe AriaMX files contain qPCR templates that were ran on AriaMX machine and used to extract the Ct-values of different mosquito groups exposed and not exposed to insecticides. The name of the AriaMx files correspond to the names of the excel sheets uploaded. For instance; excel file; plateWT1_Deltamethrin exposed_p4 AA1 M2 gste4 coe 4j5 p3 gste5 _Ct-values.xlsx corresponds to the AriaMx file; qPCR_plateWT1.amxd and so on.</p
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
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
