    Note: Rev. Beecher was ordained on 3 July 1892, and this photograph was probably taken around that time. He went on to a distinguished fifty-one year career, ultimately becoming a bishop in the Episcopal Church. See his manuscript collection, RG2509

    MeSH term explosion and author rank improve expert recommendations

    No full text
    Information overload is an often-cited phenomenon that reduces the productivity, efficiency and efficacy of scientists. One challenge for scientists is to find appropriate collaborators in their research. The literature describes various solutions to the problem of expertise location, but most current approaches do not appear to be very suitable for expert recommendations in biomedical research. In this study, we present the development and initial evaluation of a vector space model-based algorithm to calculate researcher similarity using four inputs: 1) MeSH terms of publications; 2) MeSH terms and author rank; 3) exploded MeSH terms; and 4) exploded MeSH terms and author rank. We developed and evaluated the algorithm using a data set of 17,525 authors and their 22,542 papers. On average, our algorithms correctly predicted 2.5 of the top 5/10 coauthors of individual scientists. Exploded MeSH and author rank outperformed all other algorithms in accuracy, followed closely by MeSH and author rank. Our results show that the accuracy of MeSH term-based matching can be enhanced with other metadata such as author rank

    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

    Dallina Beecher 1893

    Genus Dallina Beecher, 1893 TYPE SPECIES. — Terebratula septigera Lovén, 1846 by original designation (Beecher 1893: 382). Dallina triangularis Yabe & Hatai, 1934 (Fig. 16 B-G) Dallina triangularis Yabe & Hatai, 1934b: 662, figs 31-35. — Hatai 1940: 320, pl. 7, figs 22-27. MATERIAL EXAMINED. — Fiji. BORDAU 1, Lau Ridge, stn CP 1394, 1 young complete specimen. — Stn CP 1409, 2 complete specimens. — Stn CP 1458, 1 complete specimen. DEPTH RANGE. — 260-1226 m. MEASUREMENTS. — See Table 16. REMARKS The investigated specimens correspond in size and outline with those described as Dallina triangularis from off Japan (Hatai 1940). The shell is of medium size, thin, ventribiconvex, triangular in outline, widest at anterior part. The anterior commissure is broadly paraplicate. The beak is erect to suberect with a large, circular permesothyrid foramen. The symphytium is small. The ventral valve interior with small teeth without dental plates and very short pedicle collar. The inner and outer hinge plates are separated by distinct crural bases. The median septum is very long, high posteriorly and very low anteriorly. The loop is teloform, not attached to the septum, with long slender descending branches and broad ascending branches. The loops in the investigated specimens are so delicate that it has not been possible to remove the tissues without breaking the loop. Dallina triangularis differs from other species occurring in the western Pacific, D. raphaelis (Dall, 1870), D. obessa Yabe & Hatai, 1934 and D. elongata Hatai, 1940, in being smaller, having triangular outline and thinner shell (Hatai 1940; Foster 1989). Dallina obessa is also more convex. The Miocene species Dallina vitilevensis Ladd, 1934 from Fiji is smaller than the investigated specimens and is more elongate (Ladd 1934: pl. 24, figs 4-7). The systematic position of the Neogene specimens from Fiji assigned by Cooper (1978) to the genus Dallina is doubtful. Cooper (1978: pl. 1, fig. 26) observed well-developed dental plates which are absent, according to him, in larger specimens. Examination of early growth stages of the Dallina type species, D. septigera (Lovén, 1846), confirms the absence of dental plates through all the stages of development (see MacKinnon & Lee 2006b: 2242), thus the specimens with dental plates cannot be assigned to Dallina. Dallina triangularis is very rare in the Fiji collection and this is the first record of Dallina from off the Fiji Islands.Published as part of Bitner, Maria Aleksandra, 2008, New data on the recent brachiopods from the Fiji and Wallis and Futuna islands, South-West Pacific, pp. 419-461 in Zoosystema 30 (2) on pages 444-446, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.539293
