    Variations on the Author

    No full text
    “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

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    No full text
    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

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    No full text
    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

    The synthesis and characterization of a porphyrazine bearing aza-15-crown-5 moieties in the peripheral positions and its cobalt(II) complex

    Biyiklioglu, Zekeriya/0000-0001-5138-214XWOS: 000253205200007The synthesis of novel metal-free (H-2-Pz) and metalloporphyrazines (MgPz and CoPz), peripherally substituted with eight aza-15-crown-5 moieties, is described. The novel compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, i.r, H-1 and C-13-n.m.r, UV-vis and m.s. spectral data

    The synthesis and characterization of a new (E,E)-dioxime containing 18-membered dithiadiazadioxamacrocyclic moieties and its mononuclear complexes

    Biyiklioglu, Zekeriya/0000-0001-5138-214XWOS: 000253205200003A new (E,E)-dioxime, (21Z,22Z)-6,7,9,10,12,13-hexahydro-16H- benzo[h][1,4,7,16,10,13][1, 4,7,16,10,13]dioxadithiadiazacyclooctadecine-21,22(20H,23H)-dione dioxime (H (2) L) has been synthesized by reacting cyanogen-di-N-oxide (2) with (2-{[2-(2-{2-[(7-aminocyclohepta-1,4,6-trien-1-yl)thio]ethoxy}ethoxy)ethyl]thio}phenyl)amine. Mononuclear complexes of this ligand have been synthesized by reacting the vic-dioxime (H2L) with CuCl2, NiCl2.6H(2)O and CoCl2.6H(2)O respectively. The BF2+ capped Ni(II) and Co(III) complexes of the dioxime have been synthesized from. The new compounds were characterized by a combination of elemental analysis, H-1- and C-13-n.m.r, I.R. and m.s. spectral data

    The synthesis of axially disubstituted silicon phthalocyanines, their quaternized derivatives and first inhibitory effect on human cytosolic carbonic anhydrase isozymes hCA I and II

    Biyiklioglu, Zekeriya/0000-0001-5138-214X;WOS: 000428572600003In this study a novel silicon(iv) phthalocyanine bearing [(2E)-3-[4-(dimethylamino)phenyl]-1-(4-phenoxy)prop-2-en-1-one] group and its quaternized derivative at their axial positions were synthesized for the first time. Axially disubstituted silicon(iv) phthalocyanines were also characterized by various spectroscopic techniques. The inhibition of two human cytosolic carbonic anhydrase (hCA, EC 4.2.1.1) isozymes I and II, with axially disubstituted silicon phthalocyanines and their quaternized derivatives were investigated by using the esterase assay, with 4-nitrophenyl acetate as substrate. Silicon phthalocyanines ZM-1-Si, ZM-5-Si, ZT-Si and their quaternized derivatives ZM-1-SiQ, ZM-5-SiQ, ZT-SiQ showed IC50 values in the range of 0.0178-0.1653 M for hCA I and of 0.0172-0.1212 M against hCA II, respectively. This study is the first example of carbonic anhydrase enzyme inhibition of phthalocyanines.Research Found of Karadeniz Technical University, Trabzon-TurkeyThis study was supported by the Research Found of Karadeniz Technical University, Trabzon-Turkey
