Hongos del maiz de interes en pre y post-cosecha en el Norte de Italia: microcomunidades asociadas a raices y hojas.
No full textMediante técnicas de lavado y esterilización superficial, se analizó mensualmente en la zona norte de Italia, la variación estacional de la micota de raíces, hojas y semillas (éstas últimas, sólo previo a su siembra), durante el ciclo vegetativo de 3 cultivares de maíz (aida, hawaiano, hibisco). La mayor cantidad de aislamientos con ambas metodología y en todos los sustratos sembrados en PDA y agar agua, correspondió al cultivo aida. Los taxa más frecuente en raíz, fueron: fusarium, oxysporum, rhizopus stolonifer, trichoderma viride, alternaria alternata, pyrenochaeta terrestris, ramichloridium sp., penicillium spp. y epicoccum purpurascens. En hoja, en cambio, se observó un orden y presencia diferentes. Como modelos de variación estacional, se seleccionaron los integrantes de los 8 taxa o grupos de taxa más frecuentes en raíz y hoja: (alternaria, epicoccum, fusarium, pyrenochaeta-phoma spp., rhizopus, trichoderma, drechslera-bipolaris spp. y penicillium spp.), donde solo los tres últimos presentaron variaciones de magnitud. F. oxysporum, fue dominante en todos los sustratos (80 por ciento), mientras f. moniliforme (gibberella fujikuroi) fue escaso, salvo en las hojas (14 por ciento). En las semillas de los 3 cultivares, las especies frecuentes fueron: f. oxysporum, penicillium spp., c. cladosporioides y f. moniliforme, mientras el mayor número de aislamientos se detectó en aida. A pesar de las buenas condiciones de manejo y al uso de agrotóxicos, se detectó: ustilago zeae, diplodia zeae maydis, bipolaris maydis, botrytis cinerea, f. moniliforme (gibberella fujikuroi), macrophomina phaseolina y pyrenochaeta terrestris). Entre las especies toxicogénicas a. flavus, se aisló sólo en la rizósfera, mientras debe considerarse en post-cosecha la frecuencia constante de los géneros alternaria, fusarium y penicillium (AU
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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 linkWe 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
Role of major burst leaders in modular hippocampal networks
No full textThe development of in vitro neuronal models constituted by patterned networks is of significant interest in the neuroscientific community and requires the convergence of electrophysiological studies with micro/nano-fabrication techniques. In this paper we make use of a methodology to induce self-organization of networks into two connected sub-populations grown onto commercially available Micro Electrode Arrays (MEAs) in order to understand the role of 'burst leaders' in generating the collective synchronous events (i.e. network bursts) spontaneously arising in dissociated cultures. Considering the multitude of connections shown by uniform neuronal cultures, the restraint of neurite outgrowth along specific pathways ensures a considerable control over network complexity. Here we exploit this topological configuration to investigate whether and how network burst generation is affected by the development of the network. Our results constitute important evidence that engineered neuronal networks are a powerful platform to systematically approach questions related to the dynamics of neuronal assemblies
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe 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 textWe 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
