    Uit het veldonderzoek blijkt dat beek- en dekzand afzettingen voorkomen. In de laag gelegen beekafzettingen in het zuidelijke deel van het plangebied is naast kleiige afzettingen ook veen aangetroffen dat duidt op moerassige drassige omstandigheden. De huidige bebouwing en oprit en als denkbeeldige lijn de verlenging hiervan liggen op de grens tussen (verspoeld) dekzand en de beekafzettingen. Onder de 15 à 35 cm dikke bouwvoor is ter plaatse van de dekzandafzettingenhet dekzand een 20 tot 35 cm dikke cultuurlaag waargenomen. Ter plaatse van de huidige en historische voormalige bebouwing is een dikkere cultuurlaag aangetroffen die tot 1,7 m -mv kan reiken

    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

    Full text link
    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

    Nuclear DNA variation in Galápagos tortoises: a study on introns and ITS based polymorphisms

    The Galápagos giant tortoises, Geochelone nigra, are the largest living tortoises and one of the two remaining species of giant tortoises in the world. Within the archipelago, only 1l of the subspecies survive to the present. Most of the subspecies are endangered. The decline of the populations is primarily due to human impact. Buccaneers and whalers began in the 17th century to remove tortoises from the islands and use them as a source of fresh meat. Introduced ani maIs such as feral goat, pigs, dogs, rats and continued poaching represent more threats to the surviving populations. Although these tortoises have become a symbol of the conservation efforts to preserve the unique fauna of the Galápagos Islands, little is known about the levels of genetic divergence between the different subspecies. Previous work on several mtDNA has produced the first DNA based phylogeny of the group and shown the presence of fixed nucleotide differences between most of the 11 surviving subspecies (Caccone et al., 1999; Caccone et al., in prep.). Here we present data on fast evolving nuclear DNA regions. We assayed variation in five nuclear introns, located in the creatine kinase, actin, calmodulin, and aldolase genes, and in the rDNA ITS region. We compare the levels and pattems of genetic variation in nuclear regions with the ones obtained from the mtDNA ones. Moreover, we address thc finding of diagnostic DNA markers, which coupled with the mtDNA ones help diagnose each subspecies

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    We conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more sophisticated methods

    koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist

    No full text
    We have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
