Is visual field reduction a component manifestation of Osteopathia Striata with Cranial Sclerosis?
A girl with fully expressed osteopathia striata with cranial sclerosis (OS) was also found to have a contraction of the two visual fields, a sign never previously described in OS syndrome. We suggest that the visual field defect is a component manifestation of OS syndrome, whose pathogenesis is represented by distortion of the optic canal and narrowing of the optic foramina

Sindrome di Hay-Wells. presentazione del primo caso italiano.
The Authors report the first Italian case of Hay- Wells syndrome. This girl shows the typical findings of AEC syndrome:
ankyloblepharon, ectodermal dysplasia and cleft lip with cleftpalate.
The phenotypic spectrum of the syndrome and the differential diagnosis are discussed
Occurrence of Ostreopsis ovata (Dinophyceae) in the Tyrrhenian sea during summer 1994
The presence of Ostreopsis ovata, a dinoflagellate, characteristic of the tropical and subtropical seas and
particularly of ciguatera endemic areas, was reported in the Tyrrhenian Sea. Our results showed the persistence
of this species at two stations from August to October 1994. Some observations led us to believe that
O. ovata was probably indigenous in this area and not introduced by shipping with bilge water or ballast
water
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
The 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
“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
We 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
