No full textAppropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe 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

Software and expert system for the management of chronic hepatitis B
No full textWhereas the doubling time of overall biomedical knowledge bases has been
estimated at about 19 years, the body of indexed information related to HBV has
doubled in the last 8 years; the one related to HBV and antivirals has doubled in
the last 5 years and the one related to Interferon and contraindications has
doubled in less than 48 months. In Hepatology, as well as in other fast changing
areas of medicine, the demand that clinical decision should always be based on
the best verified knowledge available, is becoming more and more difficult to
comply with. The Italian network of competence for hepatic diseases (Liver Unit
Networks Association or LUNA) was established in 2003 with the patronage of the
Italian Ministry of Health, with the primary goal of promoting advanced clinical
research and real-time information exchange among the participating centres,
facilitating knowledge sharing and identification of best practices. The ICT
infrastructure designed for this purpose includes four sets of online accessible
software tools
Percy Shelley, Brunetto Latini and Dante's angels of the third heaven: "one Suspended"
No full textThe article assesses the quality and the importance of the translations made by Percy Shelley from Brunetto Latini and from Dante's Convivio, and considers the possible links between these translations and Shelley's last poem, 'The Triumph of Life', with particular reference to Shelley's understanding of love and the state of being suspended
"Closing the R&D Gap, Evaluating the Sources of R&D Spending"
No full textBoth spending and tax policies have been implemented in the United States with the goal of stimulating private sector research and development (R&D). Karier questions whether current R&D policy, especially the research and experimentation tax credit, can contribute to closing the gap between nondefense expenditures on R&D in the United States and such expenditures in other countries, such as Japan and Germany. He also explores possible changes to our current R&D policy to make it more effective.
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
Letter from R. R. Zellick, Assistant Trust Officer, Anglo California National Bank of San Francisco, to Joseph R. Goodman, October 2, 1942
No full textLetter from R. R. Zellick, Assistant Trust Officer at The Anglo California National Bank of San Francisco, to Joseph R. Goodman, regarding property owned by Dave Tatsuno. Zellick mentions a dispute between current tenants and Tatsuno, and that Tatsuno has asked Goodman to help locate trustworthy tenants.Personal correspondence, organizational records, government documents, publications, and other papers created or collected by Joseph R. Goodman documenting the forced removal and incarceration of Japanese Americans during World War II, as well as organized resistance to incarceration. Included in the collection are records of the Japanese Young Men's Christian Association and the Japanese American Citizens' League in San Francisco, including papers of the Japanese YMCA's executive secretary Lincoln Kanai; Sakai family papers; Goodman's correspondence to and from Japanese American incarcerees, organizations opposing forced removal and incarceration of Japanese Americans, the War Relocation Authority, and others; publications, photographs, and ephemera from the Topaz Relocation Center, where Goodman taught high school; War Relocation Authority records and publications; and newspaper clippings, pamphlets, and reports about forced removal and incarceration created by various government, religious, and civic organizations, in California and nationwide
Crescimento de videiras jovens em solo com alto teor de cobre.
No full textAs frequentes aplicações de fungicidas cúpricos ao longo dos anos promove o acúmulo de 7 cobre (Cu) em solos de vinhedos (BRUNETTO et al, 2013). Depois da erradicação dos vinhedos 8 antigos o solo é revolvido e, quando necessário, submetido à aplicação de corretivo da acidez do 9 solo e de fertilizantes, e novas videiras jovens são transplantadas. No entanto, ao longo do 10 crescimento, as plantas jovens de videiras podem apresentar sintomatologia de toxidez de Cu. Mas, 11 os fungos micorrízicos arbusculares (FMA) podem desempenhar proteção através de mecanismos 12 de retenção do Cu no micélio fúngico ou ainda pela melhoria do estado nutricional de P, que pode 13 formar compostos com metais pouco móveis dentro da planta (SOARES; SIQUEIRA, 2008). O 14 trabalho objetivou avaliar a colonização micorrízica e o crescimento de videiras jovens inoculadas 15 com isolados de FMA em solo com alto teor de Cu
