Strawberry: growth, development and diseases/ [edited by] Dr. Amjad M. Husaini and Davide Neri.
No full textIncludes bibliographical references and index.This book provides a broad, well-structured review of strawberries and their cultivation under current environmental conditions. Methods of strawberry cultivation have undergone many improvements, and this book covers aspects from plant propagation, architecture, genetic resources, breeding, abiotic stresses and climate change to evolving diseases and their control. The first chapter gives a general introduction to strawberry with some important statistics. It is followed by Section 1 on Genetics, Breeding and Omics, which contains five chapters. Chapters 2 and 3 discuss modern aspects related to available genetic resources and breeding for yield, quality and disease traits. The scope of metabolomics is discussed with special reference to white strawberry (Fragaria chiloensis subsp. chiloensis f. chiloensis) in Chapter 4. Chapter 5 is an interesting study on the transcriptomic profile of some key genes in relation to systemic acquired resistance, while chapter 6 discusses different aspects of genetic transformation in strawberry. Section 2 on Cultivation Systems and Propagation contains three chapters. These chapters discuss at length the plant growth, flowering, root growth and architecture, replant problems and plant propagation techniques. Section 3 on Disease and Stress Management contains six chapters dealing with biotic and abiotic stresses of strawberry. The first four chapters discuss traditional and emerging fungal diseases, their diagnosis and modern biointensive management strategies. Chapters 14 and 15 deal with the emerging challenges posed due to climate change and its impact on the changing magnitude and dimensions of abiotic stresses on strawberry. The book is aimed at those involved in strawberry research and development, and also to those who are interested in cultivation of strawberry for commercial gain.Strawberry: a general account / Dr. Amjad M.

Psychology and Islam, Ali Ayten- Amjad M. Hussain
Get PDFAli Ayten ve Amjad M. Hussain tarafından yazılan Psychology and Islam, İslam medeniyetinin psikolojiye katkılarını ve bu katkıların modern psikolojiyle ilişkisini ele alan bir giriş eseridir. Kitap, İslam’ın insan doğası, maneviyat ve ruh sağlığı üzerindeki etkilerini inceleyerek, psikoloji tarihi içinde İslami bakış açısının nasıl şekillendiğini ortaya koyuyor. Antik Yunan’dan başlayarak, Orta Çağ’daki Müslüman filozoflar ve modern Batı psikolojisine kadar geniş bir perspektiften psikolojinin tarihsel gelişimini ele alıyor. Özellikle İslam dünyasında "ilmü’n-nefs" olarak bilinen disiplin üzerine bir çerçeve sunuyor. Kitap, dindarlık ve maneviyat kavramlarını bireysel ve toplumsal boyutlarıyla karşılaştırmalı bir şekilde inceliyor. Dindarlığın ruh sağlığı üzerindeki etkileri, farklı kültürel bağlamlarda olumlu ve olumsuz yönleriyle ele alınıyor; Batı ile Müslüman toplumlar arasındaki yaklaşımlar arasındaki farklar da tartışılıyor. Özellikle obsesif kompulsif bozukluk gibi ruhsal hastalıklar, dini ve kültürel bağlamlarıyla birlikte ele alınıp, Müslüman toplumlardaki ampirik çalışmalarla destekleniyor. Her bölüm sonunda yer alan "Sonuçlar ve Gelecek Çalışmalar için Yönergeler" kısmı, ele alınan konulara dair değerlendirmeler ve gelecekte yapılabilecek araştırmalar için öneriler sunuyor. Psychology and Islam, İslam psikolojisi alanında çalışmak isteyen araştırmacılar ve okuyucular için bir giriş kaynağı olarak öne çıkıyor
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
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
