Interview with Joan Pinkvoss and Nancy R. Barcelo
No full textTwo-part recorded testimonial about the work of Gloria Anzaldua and how it has impacted Joan Pinkvoss and Nancy Rusty Barcelo.
Joan Pinkvoss co-founded Aunt Lute Books (San Francisco, CA) in 1982, a nonprofit, multicultural press committed to publishing women writers whose voices and visions are underrepresented in mainstream presses by race, ethnicity, sexuality, socio-economic background, and or age. Aunt Lute has published such acclaimed authors as Alice Walker, Audre Lorde, and Gloria Anzaldúa.
Nancy “Rusty” Barceló is the former president of Northern New Mexico College; she is a leading figure with the National Initiative for Women in Higher Education (NIWHE) and has chaired Mujeres Activas en Letras y Cambio Social (MALCS) as well as the Washington State Native American Advisory Board (NAAB). In 2004, Barceló was awarded the Ohtli Award, which is a special recognition presented by the Mexican government to Mexicans or Latinos whose work has benefited Mexicans living abroad.https://scholarworks.utrgv.edu/gloriaanzalduatestimonios/1007/thumbnail.jp

Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe 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
"Closing the R&D Gap, Evaluating the Sources of R&D Spending"
No full textBoth spending and tax policies have been implemented in the United States with the goal of stimulating private sector research and development (R&D). Karier questions whether current R&D policy, especially the research and experimentation tax credit, can contribute to closing the gap between nondefense expenditures on R&D in the United States and such expenditures in other countries, such as Japan and Germany. He also explores possible changes to our current R&D policy to make it more effective.
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
Letter from R. R. Zellick, Assistant Trust Officer, Anglo California National Bank of San Francisco, to Joseph R. Goodman, October 2, 1942
No full textLetter from R. R. Zellick, Assistant Trust Officer at The Anglo California National Bank of San Francisco, to Joseph R. Goodman, regarding property owned by Dave Tatsuno. Zellick mentions a dispute between current tenants and Tatsuno, and that Tatsuno has asked Goodman to help locate trustworthy tenants.Personal correspondence, organizational records, government documents, publications, and other papers created or collected by Joseph R. Goodman documenting the forced removal and incarceration of Japanese Americans during World War II, as well as organized resistance to incarceration. Included in the collection are records of the Japanese Young Men's Christian Association and the Japanese American Citizens' League in San Francisco, including papers of the Japanese YMCA's executive secretary Lincoln Kanai; Sakai family papers; Goodman's correspondence to and from Japanese American incarcerees, organizations opposing forced removal and incarceration of Japanese Americans, the War Relocation Authority, and others; publications, photographs, and ephemera from the Topaz Relocation Center, where Goodman taught high school; War Relocation Authority records and publications; and newspaper clippings, pamphlets, and reports about forced removal and incarceration created by various government, religious, and civic organizations, in California and nationwide
Studies on obesity-related dysfunction in insulin-target tissues : insulin receptor isoforms and intraocular in vivo liver imaging
No full textObesity, caused by poor dietary habits and sedentary lifestyle, has brought on a global health crisis. This condition affects over one-third of adults and largely increases the risk of developing metabolic diseases, such as type 2 diabetes and steatotic liver disease. Insulin is a central hormone in regulating metabolism and insulin receptors are ubiquitously expressed. In mammals, the insulin receptor (IR) has two isoforms, IR-A and IR-B, which differ in structure and function and trigger different signalling pathways within the cell. The first half of this thesis focuses on studying the IR isoforms and their role in metabolic dysfunction. Insulin resistance has been associated with variations in IR isoform expression, however, the mechanisms behind tissue/cell type-specific changes in metabolic disease are poorly understood. Using mouse models of obesity/diabetes we report IR isoform expression patterns in different tissues. We further investigated a shift in IR isoform ratio in perigonadal adipose tissue, and found tissue remodeling and immune cells infiltration to be responsible, rather than a change in IR isoform expression in adipocytes. We also worked to identify novel and isoform-specific IR interaction partners, to understand more about the intracellular signalling triggered by the receptors. The second half of this thesis focusses on the liver, a key player in metabolic regulation. The liver is inaccessible for optical imaging and there is a lack of high-resolution non-invasive imaging techniques. Addressing this need, we developed a novel in vivo imaging platform to monitor liver function longitudinally at cellular resolution. We use the anterior chamber of the mouse eye as a transplantation site for liver spheroids, which engraft on the iris. The cornea acts as a natural body window and allows repeated imaging of the same cells over time. We show that the liver spheroids in the eye retain hepatocyte-specific and liver-like features and perform typical hepatic functions. Importantly, we show that in feeding graft-bearing animals an obesogenic diet, the intraocular grafts developed hepatosteatosis, thereby reporting on endogenous liver function. Thus, we foresee this new technology could provide a unique tool to study steatotic liver disease in both basic and pre-clinical settings.List of scientific papersI.
