Nectarinia philippensis Brisson
No full textNectarinia philippensis “Brisson” Meyen, 1834a: 82. Now: Cinnyris jugularis jugularis (Linnaeus, 1766). Gadow (1884: 63, 85), Stresemann (1952: 513). Lectotype (herein designated; see below for explanation): Specimen figured by Brisson (1760a, pl. 30, fig. 2). This specimen was collected by Pierre Poivre in 1751–1754 at Manila, Luzon, Philippines, and was deposited in the collection of Abbé Aubry in France when Brisson examined it (Stresemann 1952: 513). Its later fate is unknown. Note that this specimen is also the holotype of Certhia philippina Linnaeus, 1766: 187. Paralectotypes (lost): Specimens figured by Brisson (1760a, pl. 31, fig. 2–3; also Daubenton 1768, pl. 246, fig. 1–2). These specimens, which were collected by Pierre Poivre (1719–1786), were at first deposited in the collection of René Antoine Ferchault de Réaumur (1683–1757), then in the collection of King Louis XV of France (1710–1774), but now are lost (Stresemann 1952). Note that these specimens are also syntypes of Certhia sperata Linnaeus, 1766: 186. Paralectotypes (lost): Specimens figured by Sonnerat (1776, pl. 30, fig. A, B, D). They were probably collected by Pierre Sonnerat (1748–1814) on the island of Luzon, Philippines, but they were not preserved. Paralectotype (lost): ZMB 8075, ♂, (Lichtenstein 1832, Nr. 4–6 sub “ Nectarinia exspectata ”), collected by Meyen in “ October ” [= 1–9 October 1831; see below] in “ Manila ” [= Laguna de Bay, Luzon, Philippines; see below]. Paralectotype (lost): ZMB 8076 (Lichtenstein 1832, Nr. 7 sub “ Nectarinia exspectata ”), juv., collected by Meyen in “ October ” [= 1–9 October 1831; see below] in “ Manila ” [= Laguna de Bay, Luzon, Philippines; see below]. Paralectotype (lost): ZMB 8081 (Lichtenstein 1832, Nr. 8–12 sub “ Nectarinia gularis ”), collected by Meyen in “ October ” [= 1–9 October 1831; see below] in “ Manila ” [= Laguna de Bay, Luzon, Philippines; see below]. Paralectotype (lost): ZMB 8082 (Lichtenstein 1832, Nr. 8–12 sub “ Nectarinia gularis ”), collected by Meyen in “ October ” [= 1–9 October 1831; see below] in “ Manila ” [= Laguna de Bay, Luzon, Philippines; see below]. Paralectotype (lost): ZMB 8083 (Lichtenstein 1832, Nr. 8–12 sub “ Nectarinia gularis ”), collected by Meyen in “ October ” [= 1–9 October 1831; see below] in “ Manila ” [= Laguna de Bay, Luzon, Philippines; see below]. Paralectotypes (lost): ZMB uncatalogued (Lichtenstein 1832, Nr. 4–6 sub “ Nectarinia exspectata ”); two specimens, both collected by Meyen in “ October ” [= 1–9 October 1831; see below] in “ Manila ” [= Laguna de Bay, Luzon, Philippines; see below]. These specimens were presumably destined by M.H.C. Lichtenstein for exchange, but their fate remains unknown. Paralectotypes (lost): ZMB uncatalogued (Lichtenstein 1832, Nr. 8–12 sub “ Nectarinia gularis ”); two specimens, both collected by Meyen in “ October ” [= 1–9 October 1831; see below] in “ Manila ” [= Laguna de Bay, Luzon, Philippines; see below]. These specimens were presumably destined by M.H.C. Lichtenstein for exchange, but their fate remains unknown. Type locality. Due to lectotypification, the type locality is ascertained as Manila, island of Luzon, Philippines. Remarks. Meyen (1834a: 82) introduced Brisson’s (1760a: 655) name for this bird, believing that Linnaeus’s (1766: 186, 188) Certhia sperata and Certhia zeylonica were its females and males, respectively, and that Brisson’s (1760a) philippensis had precedence. Brisson’s species-group names are not available for nomenclatural purposes (see Melville & Smith 1987), so Meyen (1834a) is the author of Nectarinia philippensis. Meyen (1834a) did not specify the type series of this species, but Lichtenstein (1832) listed nine relevant specimens, which thus belong to the type series. Moreover, Meyen (1834a: 82–83) explicitly included in his Nectarinia philippensis specimens figured by Brisson (1760a, pl. 30, fig. 2, and pl. 31, fig. 2–3), Sonnerat (1776, pl. 30, fig. A, B, D), and Daubenton (1768, pl. 246, fig. 1–2; 1773, pl. 576, fig. 1–4), which also belong in the type series (see above for their list). Meyen (1834a) did not specify where and when exactly he collected his specimens. M.H.C. Lichtenstein (1832) said that all Meyen specimens were collected in “October” at “ Manila ”. However, Meyen (1834a) used “ Manila ” in the sense of both the city and Luzon Island. His itinerary shows (see above) that all specimens originated from southern Luzon, having been collected at the city of Manila and/or at Laguna de Bay. If M.H.C. Lichtenstein (1832) is correct in saying that the specimens were collected in October, then they must have been collected at Laguna de Bay, more particularly on the Jalajala Peninsula and/or on Talim Island, during 1– 9 October. In absence to any evidence to the contrary we accept this locality and date of collection. As correctly observed by Gadow (1884: 63, 85), Meyen’s (1834a) description of “males” of philippensis agrees with that of male Nectarinia sperata, while his description of “females” of philippensis agrees with that of male Nectarinia jugularis. Meyen’s (1834a) Nectarinia philippensis is thus based on a mixed type series and its nomenclatural fate needs to be determined via lectotypification. We found no surviving syntype, so we designate here the specimen figured by Brisson (1760a, pl. 30, fig. 2) as the lectotype of this species. Herewith, Nectarinia philippensis Meyen, 1834, becomes a junior objective synonym of Certhia philippina Linnaeus, 1766, of which this specimen is the holotype (see above). All other former syntypes of N. philippensis Meyen become herewith paralectotypes of this form.Published as part of Mlíkovský, Jiří & Frahnert, Sylke, 2017, Type specimens and type localities of birds (Aves) collected during F.

MeSH term explosion and author rank improve expert recommendations
No full textInformation overload is an often-cited phenomenon that reduces the productivity, efficiency and efficacy of scientists. One challenge for scientists is to find appropriate collaborators in their research. The literature describes various solutions to the problem of expertise location, but most current approaches do not appear to be very suitable for expert recommendations in biomedical research. In this study, we present the development and initial evaluation of a vector space model-based algorithm to calculate researcher similarity using four inputs: 1) MeSH terms of publications; 2) MeSH terms and author rank; 3) exploded MeSH terms; and 4) exploded MeSH terms and author rank. We developed and evaluated the algorithm using a data set of 17,525 authors and their 22,542 papers. On average, our algorithms correctly predicted 2.5 of the top 5/10 coauthors of individual scientists. Exploded MeSH and author rank outperformed all other algorithms in accuracy, followed closely by MeSH and author rank. Our results show that the accuracy of MeSH term-based matching can be enhanced with other metadata such as author rank
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
How Socratic Is the “Noble Art of Sophistry”? Tracing the Gennaia Sophistike of the Sixth Diaeresis Back to Old Comedy
No full textSeveral scholars agree in identifying the “sophistry” outlined in the 6th diaeresis of Plato’s Sophist with the Socratic elenchus (see esp. Cornford 1935, 177-179). In fact, refuting someone “when (s)he thinks (s)he is saying something though (s)he is saying nothing” until (s)he feels ashamed for the opinions (s)he previously held (230c-d), is a kind of purification that strongly resembles Socrates’ elenctic activity. According to Plato and other first-generation Socratics, the shame triggered by Socrates plays a pivotal role in transforming the unfounded pretense of knowledge of Socrates’ interlocutors into an admission of ignorance. As Rosen has pointed out, the 6th diaeresis ends with a definition not of the sophist, but of “a hybrid of the sophist and the philosopher” (1983,(1983,131). This is surprising, as one explicit aim Plato pursues very often (in the Sophist as well as in many other dialogues) is to distinguish between, in most cases even to counterpose, the sophist and the philosopher. This raises the question of what kind of sophistry Plato has in mind at 226B-231B. In this paper I claim that in the 6th diaeresis Plato points at a definition of the sophist that merges both the professional sophists and Socrates—a definition that can be traced back to Old Comedy. Here, the word sophistes encompasses “intellectuals” of various kinds (sophists, philosophers, phusiologoi, and even the initiates to mystery cults such as Orphism or the Eleusinian Mysteries) that were lampooned not only in Aristophanes’s Clouds, but also in other comedies by playwrights who were active in the decade before 423 BC (such as Eupolis, Ameipsias, and Plato Comicus). In this paper, I show how Plato’s account of sophistry at 226B-231B depends on a variety of comic motifs
Measurement of D production in diffractive deep inelastic scattering at HERA D ∗ production in diffractive deep inelastic scattering at HERA
No full textMeasurements of D∗ (2010) meson production in diffractive deep inelastic scattering (5 < Q2 < 100 GeV2) are presented which are based on HERA data recorded at a centre-of-mass energy √ s = 319 GeV with an integrated luminosity of 287 pb−1. The reaction ep → eXY is studied, where the system X, containing at least one D∗ (2010) meson, is separated from a leading low-mass proton dissociative system Y by a large rapidity gap. The kinematics of D∗ candidates are reconstructed in the D∗ → Kππ decay channel. The measured cross sections compare favourably with next-to-leading order QCD predictions, where charm quarks are produced via boson-gluon fusion. The charm quarks are then independently fragmented to the D∗ mesons. The calculations rely on the collinear factorisation theorem and are based on diffractive parton densities previously obtained by H1 from fits to inclusive diffractive cross sections. The data are further used to determine the diffractive to inclusive D∗ production ratio in deep inelastic scatterin
