Description d’une nouvelle espèce particulière appartenant au genre Chaerilobuthus Lourenço & Beigel, 2011 (Scorpiones: Chaerilobuthidae)
No full textInternational audienceA particular new species of fossil scorpion belonging to the genus Chaerilobuthus Lourenço & Beigel, 2011 is described from Early Cretaceous Burmite. The description of this new species brings further evidence on the very speciose character of this group. The new species equally shows some distinct characters when compared to the previous known species, confirming therefore the existence of an important morphological variability within Chaerilobuthus.Une nouvelle espèce de scorpion fossile appartenant au genre Chaerilobuthus Lourenço & Beigel, 2011, est décrite de l’ambre du Crétacé inférieur du Myanmar. Cette nouvelle description vient confirmer la grande diversité existante au sein de ce groupe de scorpions. La nouvelle espèce présente également des caractères très distincts en comparaison avec les espèces préalablement connues, et confirme ainsi l’existence d’une importante variabilité morphologique au sein des espèces de Chaerilobuthus
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
Nouvelle contribution à la diversité de la famille des Chaerilobuthidae Lourenço & Beigel, 2011 avec la description d’un nouveau genre et d’une nouvelle espèce (Scorpiones)
No full textInternational audienceA new contribution is proposed to the knowledge of the family Chaerilobuthidae Lourenço & Beigel, 2011, originally described from Early Cretaceous Burmite. With the descriptions of one new genus and one new species the diversity of this family, previously composed of the single genus Chaerilobuthus, is improved. The family Chaerilobuthidae remains one of the most speciose groups among those already known from Burmite.Une nouvelle contribution est proposée à la connaissance de la famille des Chaerilobuthidae Lourenço & Beigel, 2011, originellement décrite de l’ambre du Crétacé inférieur du Myanmar. Avec les descriptions d’un nouveau genre et d’une nouvelle espèce, la diversité de cette famille, préalablement composée du seul genre Chaerilobuthus Lourenço & Beigel, 2011 est amplifiée. La famille des Chaerilobuthidae demeure un des groupes les plus riches en espèces, parmi ceux déjà connus de l’ambre Crétacé du Myanmar
"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
La remarquable variabilité du genre Chaerilobuthus Lourenço & Beigel, 2011 (Scorpiones: Chaerilobuthidae) et description d’une nouvelle espèce de l’ambre du Crétacé inférieur de la Birmanie
No full textInternational audienceA further new species of fossil scorpion belonging to the genus Chaerilobuthus Lourenço & Beigel, 2011 is described from Early Cretaceous Burmite. Chaerilobuthus brandti Lourenço sp. n., is the 12th species to be described for this genus confirming its speciose character. The new species equally shows quite distinct characters when compared to the previous known species, confirming therefore the existence of an important morphological variability within Chaerilobuthus.Une nouvelle espèce de scorpion fossile appartenant au genre Chaerilobuthus Lourenço & Beigel, 2011, est décrite de l’ambre du Crétacé inférieur du Myanmar. Chaerilobuthus brandti Lourenço sp. n. est la douzième espèce connue pour ce genre confirmant ainsi sa grande richesse spécifique. La nouvelle espèce présente également des caractères très distincts lorsque comparée aux espèces préalablement connues, et confirme ainsi l’existence d’une importante variabilité morphologique au sein des espèces de Chaerilobuthus
