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
Rota-Baxter operators and Bernoulli polynomials
No full textsummary:We develop the connection between Rota-Baxter operators arisen from algebra and mathematical physics and Bernoulli polynomials. We state that a trivial property of Rota-Baxter operators implies the symmetry of the power sum polynomials and Bernoulli polynomials. We show how Rota-Baxter operators equalities rewritten in terms of Bernoulli polynomials generate identities for the latter
Horsemastership part 3: international perspectives of its therapeutic value
No full textIn previous opinion articles written by the authors, it has been proposed that horsemastership is an effective medium for therapy and education for young adults with additional needs. However, the existing research to support this proposal is informal and limited. Therefore, the first author carried out an international piece of research into the value of horsemastership to this group of people. A questionnaire using both quantitative and qualitative methods was completed by 21 professionals of various disciplines and countries who used horsemastership for therapeutic and educational purposes. This article gives a brief description of the methodology, including justification for the design selected, and discusses the relevance and implications of the results of this study. To pull together the three articles written by the authors, a final conclusion on the value of horsemastership to people with additional needs is drawn.<br/
Evidence of sustained skeletal benefits from impact-loading exercise in young females: a 3-year longitudinal study
No full textThe skeletal effects from intensive exercise throughout puberty are undefined. Forty-five female gymnasts and 52 controls were studied over 3 years, including a heredity aspect. The effects of size, maturity, exercise, and diet were identified using a multilevel regression model. Results demonstrated sustained skeletal benefits resulting from exercise throughout all stages of pubertal development.Introduction:
Weight-bearing exercise is beneficial for peak bone mass development. However, whether skeletal benefits achieved with exercise are maintained if training remains intensive throughout the pubertal years is not entirely clear. The influence of familial resemblance for bone mass remains undefined in physically active versus inactive children. The aim of this study was to investigate the long-term influences of impact-loading exercise on bone quantity and quality in young females after controlling for growth, maturation, and hereditary factors.Materials and Methods:
At baseline, 45 gymnasts (G) and 52 normally active controls (C) 8-17 years of age were recruited. Anthropometry, diet, physical activity, and quantitative ultrasound (QUS) were measured annually for 3 consecutive years. DXA scans of total body (TB) and lumbar spine (LS) bone mineral content (BMC) and density (BMD) were taken three times at 1-year intervals. A multilevel regression model was fitted, and the independent effects of body size, maturity, physical activity, and diet were identified over time. To assess heredity influences, 27 G mothers and 26 C mothers volunteered for cross-sectional measurements of anthropometry, QUS, and BMC/BMD.Results and Conclusions:
Gymnasts were smaller and lighter (as were their mothers) than controls, but they had significantly higher QUS and axial and appendicular BMC and BMD, with >170 g more bone mineral in TB across puberty (after adjustment for maturity [years from peak height velocity], height, weight, energy, and protein intake). Gymnasts had up to 24-51% higher BMC and 13-28% higher BMD, depending on skeletal site. These results provide evidence of sustained skeletal benefits from impact-loading exercise, which are unlikely to result entirely from heredity, throughout pubertal year
Author Co-Citation Analysis (ACA): a powerful tool for representing implicit knowledge of scholar knowledge workers
No full textIn the last decade, knowledge has emerged as one of the most important and valuable organizational assets. Gradually this importance caused to emergence of new discipline entitled ―knowledge management‖. However one of the major challenges of knowledge management is conversion implicit or tacit knowledge to explicit knowledge. Thus Making knowledge visible so that it can be better accessed, discussed, valued or generally managed is a long-standing objective in knowledge management. Accordingly in this paper author co- citation analysis (ACA) will be proposed as an efficient technique of knowledge visualization in academia (Scholar knowledge workers)
A knowledge management framework to support product-service systems design
No full textThis paper presents a framework for knowledge reuse in a Product-Service Systems
design scenario. The project aim is to develop a methodology to capture,
represent and reuse knowledge to support product development in a collaborative
enterprise context. The three core elements are: design knowledge, manufacturing
capability knowledge, and service knowledge. There are three principal
components of the proposed methodology. The first is a process based design
model: defining design according to specific tasks, and associating previous
knowledge with those tasks. The second is manufacturing capability knowledge:
supporting feature based design and manufacture through representing machining
features, best practices in machining and inspection, and machining capability.
The third component is service knowledge: ensuring that design takes account of
the service requirement. The developing paradigm of Product-Service Systems and
the requirement for co-design of products and services has influenced the
structure of the knowledge base, as well as outlining specific service related
requirements. This paper presents the proposed knowledge base structure along
with a detailed case study in which the proposal was developed and validated
Author Correction: Octyl itaconate enhances VSVΔ51 oncolytic virotherapy by multitarget inhibition of antiviral and inflammatory pathways
No full textCorrection to: Nature Communicationshttps://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-024-48422-x, published online 15 May 2024 The original version of this Article omitted from the author list the 28th author Rozanne Arulanandam, who is from the ‘Ottawa Hospital Research Insitute, Ottawa, ON, K1H 8L6, Canada’. Consequently, the following was added to the Author Contributions: ‘R.A. performed the revision experiments on cell lines shown in Figures 1 and 2, in particular, the virus titration and GFP measurements of virus infection in CT26wt and 76-9 with 4OI.’ The original version of this Article omitted funding details to R.L. The following was added to the Acknowledgements: ‘This research was supported by grants to R.L. from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) (PJT-169663).’ These have been corrected in both the PDF and HTML versions of the Article.<p/
