TYPE LOCALITY. — Barie island. REMARKS Various author citations are encountered for the name Blumea floresiana. Some of them are ‘(Sch.Bip.ex.Miq.) Boerl.ex Koord.’, ‘(Sch. Bip. ex. Miq.) Koord.’, ‘(Sch.-Bip.) Boerl’., ‘Sch.Bip.’, ‘Boerlage’ and ‘(Sch.-Bip.) Boerl’. In two important revisionary studies of Blumea by Randeria (1960) and Pornpongrungrueng et al. (2016), the author citation followed is ‘(Sch.-Bip.) Boerl’. Boerlage (1891) created a combination using the name Conyza floresiana Sch. -Bip. (in Zollinger 1854). But the name Conyza floresiana is invalid.Schulz-Bipontinus listed 25 Conyza species, among them C. floresiana (no. 16), C. celebica (no. 23) and C. monocephala (no. 24), for which a single descriptive character is provided: “ Fl. lutei ” – i.e. yellow flowers – not serving as a diagnostic character and so these names were not valid. Miquel (1856) validated Conyza floresiana Sch. -Bip. by providing a description. Hence, the correct author citation for the name Blumea floresiana is definitely ‘(Sch.Bip. ex Miq.) Boerlage’. The name Conyza floresiana Sch. -Bip. first appeared in a publication ofZollinger (1854). Zollinger stated that the determination of Compositae in his work was carried out by Schultz-Bipontinus.In protologue herbarium number of Zollinger 3329 is mentioned, while no specific herbarium is mentioned. We traced four sheets of Zollinger 3329 from P, one each from L, M and U. Schultz-Bipontinus cited the locality as “ Ad rupes pr. Barie L. ins. Flores VI ”. Zollinger detailed the locality as “ Eiland flores, op rotsen aan de kust bij bari ”, meaning: “Island of Flores, on rocks on the coast near Bari”.Most of the herbarium sheets of Zollinger used by F.A. W.Miquel for his Flora van Nederlandsch Indië is at P.So we designate the sheet with barcodeP00692057 as the lectotype of the name Blumea floresiana.Published as part of Dilsha, Muthalaveettil & Satheesh, George, 2023, Lectotypification of three names in the genus Blumea DC.

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
The construction of Karen Karnak: The multi-author-function
No full textThis thesis is situated within the comparatively recent developments of Web 2.0 and the emergence of interactive WikiMedia, and explores the mode of authorship within a Read/Write culture compared to that of a Read/Only tradition. The hypothesis of this study is that the role of the audience has become merged with the author, and as such, represents new functions and attributes, distinct from a more conventional concept of authorship, in which the roles of audience and author are more separate. Read/Write and participatory culture, as defined by this study, is focused on collaboration, and includes the influences of D.I.Y. culture, Open-Source practices and the production of text by multiple authors. Multi-authorship presents a re-thinking of several concepts which support the notion of the individual author, since the focus of multi-authorship is not on attribution and ownership of a finished text, but on the continued malleability of a text. Modes of multi-authorship, demonstrated in the use of the pseudonyms Alan Smithee and Karen Eliot, represent declarative authors whose names signify multiple origins, whilst concurrently indicating a distinct body of work. The function of these names form an important context to this study, since primary research involves the construction of an experimental mode of multi-authorship utilising WikiMedia technology and the interaction of thirty nine participants, who are invited to create a body of work under the collective pseudonym Karen Karnak. The data generated by this experiment is analysed using aspects of Michel Foucault's author-function to identify and determine power structures inherent in the WikiMedia context. The interplay of power structures, including concepts such as identity, ownership and the body of work, affect the resulting mode of authorship and contribute to the construction of Karen Karnak, suggesting further areas of research into the emerging multi-author
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

No full textAuthor Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.

The vanishing author in computer-generated works: a critical analysis of recent Australian case law
Full text linkAbstract
The use of software is ubiquitous in the creation of many copyright works, yet the requirement in copyright law that every work have a human author who engages in independent intellectual effort means that its use may prevent copyright subsistence. Several recent Australian cases have refocused attention on authorship as an essential criterion of copyright subsistence, and these cases suggest that much computer-produced output may be authorless and thus lack copyright protection. This article, the first in a two-part series, analyses how each case deals with the question of authorship of computer-produced works and why the use of software diminishes copyright protection for a significant number of computer-generated works. The article critiques the application of conventional notions of human authorship developed in the pre-computer age to modern productions and suggests alternative approaches to authorship that satisfy both the major objectives of copyright policy and the need to adapt to the computer age. The article argues that, without a broader judicial approach to authorship of computer-generated works, Parliament must remedy the lacuna in protection for these ‘authorless’ works. Possible solutions for reform are suggested. In a forthcoming article, the author comprehensively examines those reform proposals
Scotland’s SAIC funded “Gill Health in Scottish Farmed Salmon” project 2018 – 2023: Highlights.
No full textThis unprecedented industry-wide collaboration of all major salmon producers in Scotland and other industry stakeholders ran for 4.5 years. The objective was to identify measures to prevent or reduce gill disease in farmed salmon using a multidisciplinary approach, combining novel methods with well tested techniques.Eight salmon farms were sampled bi-weekly from stocking until harvesting: monitoring gross fish and gill pathology, biochemistry, haematology and PCR signals from putative pathogens and gill microbiome. In addition, historical data were collected and analysed from all sites in Scotland owned by participating producers (2013–2019). Highlight project achievements were:• Standardizing data collection and sharing with multiple partners. • Literature review of epidemiology of complex gill disease (CGD): Boerlage et al., 2020: Rev. Aquac. 12, 2140-2159.• Comparison of CGD histopathology in Norway, Scotland, and Ireland: Noguera et al., 2019: Bull. Eur. Ass. Fish Pathol. 39(4), 172.• Data-driven case definitions for CGD and amoebic gill disease (AGD)• Prevalence estimation of gill disease (2013–2020). • Surveillance: estimating diagnostic performance of common tests for AGD and CGD: Boerlage et al., 2022: Prev. Vet. Med. 204, 105654.• Surveillance: determine appropriate sample sizes for gross gill scoring (https://epidemiology.sruc.ac.uk/shiny/apps/gillhealth/)• Estimating risk factors and biomarkers. • Better understanding of the gill microbiome. <br/
