The Hirsch spectrum: a novel tool for analysing scientific journals
No full textThis paper introduces the Hirsch spectrum (h-spectrum) for analyzing the academic reputation of a scientific journal. h-Spectrum is a novel tool based on the Hirsch (h) index. It is easy to construct: considering a specific journal in a specific interval of time, h-spectrum is defined as the distribution representing the h-indexes associated to the authors of the journal articles. This tool allows defining a reference profile of the typical author of a journal, compare different journals within the same scientific field, and provide a rough indication of prestige/reputation of a journal in the scientific community. h-Spectrum can be associated to every journal. Ten specific journals in the Quality Engineering/Quality Management field are analyzed so as to preliminarily investigate the h-spectrum characteristic
Measuring the Research Contribution of Management Academics using the Hirsch-Index
No full textThere is an increasing emphasis on the use of metrics for assessing the research contribution of academics, departments, journals or conferences. Contribution has two dimensions: quantity which can be measured by number/size of the outputs, and quality which is most easily measured by the number of citations. Recently, Hirsch proposed a new metric which is simple, combines both quality and quantity in one number, and is robust to measurement problems. This paper applies the h-index to three groups of management academics – BAM Fellows, INFORMS Fellows, and members of COPIOR – in order to evaluate the extent to which the h-index would serve as a reliable measure of the contribution of researchers in the management field
Temporally resolved growth patterns in diverse maize panel
No full textPlant height is used in many breeding programs for assessing plant health across environments and predicting yield, which can be used in identifying superior hybrids or evaluating abiotic stress factors. This has often been measured at a single time point when plants have reached their terminal height for the season. Collection of plant height using unoccupied aerial vehicles (UAVs) is faster, allowing for measurements throughout the growing season which could facilitate a better understanding of plant-environment interaction and responses. To assess variation in plant height and growth rate throughout development, plant height data was collected weekly for a panel of ~500 diverse inbred lines over four growing seasons. The variation in plant height throughout the season was found to be significantly explained by genotype, year, and genotype-by-year interactions throughout vegetative growth. However, the relative contributions of these different sources of variation fluctuated throughout development. This variation was further captured by Fréchet distance values which identified genotypes with consistently high or low distances in each of the four years - high distance genotypes being more dissimilar between replications and therefore capturing more environmental variation. Genome-wide association studies revealed many significant SNPs associated with plant height and growth rate at different parts of the growing season that would not be identified by terminal height alone. When comparing growth rates estimated from plant height to growth rates estimated from another morphological characteristic, canopy cover, we found greater stability in growth curves estimated by plant height. This potentially makes canopy cover more useful for understanding environmental modulation of overall plant growth and plant height better for understanding genotypic modulation of overall plant growth. Overall, this suggests evaluations of plant growth throughout the season provide more information than terminal plant height alone.Minnesota Corn Growers AssociationNational Science FoundationBayer Crop ScienceUMII-MnDRIVE PhD Graduate AssistantshipSweet, Dorothy D; Tirado, Sara B; Cooper, Julian S; Springer, Nathan M; Hirsch, Cory D; Hirsch, Candice N.

A Survey of Quality Engineering-ManagementJournals by Bibliometric Indicators
No full textThis paper analyses some of the most popular scientific journals in the Quality field from the point of view of three bibliometric indicators: the Hirsch (h) index for journals, the total number of citations and the h-spectrum. In particular, h-spectrum is a novel tool based on h, making it possible to (i) identify a reference profile of the typical authors of a journal; (ii) compare different journals; and (iii) provide a rough indication of their ‘bibliometric positioning' in the scientific community. Results of this analysis can be helpful for guiding potential authors and members of the scientific community in the Quality Engineering/Management area. A large amount of empirical data are presented and discusse
Assessing scientific research performance and impact with single indices
No full textWe provide a comprehensive and critical review of the h-index and its most important modifications proposed in the literature, as well as of other similar indicators measuring research output and impact. Extensions of some of these indices are presented and illustrated.Citation metrics, Research output, h-index, Hirsch index, h-type indices
INDIGENOUS LAND TENURE AND LAND USE IN ALASKA: COMMUNITY IMPACTS OF THE ALASKA NATIVE CLAIMS SETTLEMENT ACT
No full textThrough the utilization of qualitative methods such as archival analysis, semi-structured interviewing, comparative and extended case studies, and observation, this paper closely examines two related Alaska Native communities. Our purpose is to document the impact of the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act of 1971 (ANCSA) on land tenure, land use, and community structure. In all, 41 interviews were conducted, focusing on the following issues: (1) the role of the tribal government in relation to the regional and village corporate structure; (2) the recent changes in traditional land uses; and (3) how group decisions are made regarding land management and distribution of resources. By locating ANCSA within a broader context of economic, political, and cultural globalization that seeks to substitute traditional collective rights in land with individual tenure in a "free market" economy, the findings of this research may carefully and cautiously be applied beyond North America to other indigenous-state struggles regarding control of land and resources.United States. -- [Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act], Indians of North America -- Legal status, laws, etc. -- Alaska, Land tenure -- Law and legislation -- Alaska, Indians of North America -- Alaska -- Claims, Indians of North America -- Land tenure -- Alaska, Indians of North America -- Alaska -- Government relations -- History, Land Economics/Use,
