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

Food Field : a four-arce Detroit urban farm
No full textAlex Bryan, Program Manager for the Greater Lansing Food Bank Garden Project delivers a talk entitled, "Food Field: A Four-Acre Detroit Urban Farm." Bryan describes the efforts of himself and his business partner Noah Link, to create a sustainable organic farm in urban Detroit as a real alternative to the corporate food system. He says that they are also striving to create jobs and to build robust and ongoing relationships with local restaurants and grocers. Questions are taken from the audience. Bryan is introduced by Michigan State University Librarian Kriss Ostrom. Part of the Michigan State University Libraries' Environmental Series, held at the MSU Main Library
Interview of Bryan Skelly
No full textThis is one of a set of interviews of three assistant coaches of La Salle\u27s track and field team. The interviewer, Kevin Brightbill, was a student athlete and freshman in the Honors Program when he conducted the interviews as a class assignment for Honors 122. According to Brightbill, these three coaches, closer in age and mentality to the students they instruct and aid than to the majority of La Salle faculty, help to mentor current athletes while simultaneously modeling the benefits, both physical and mental, of dedicatedly graduating college as a track and field athlete. Jenna Darcy, Bryan Skelly and Chris Franklin are the three assistants who make up the coaching staff of head coach Charles Torpey, whose 14th season at La Salle and 31st of his entire coaching career began in the fall of 2006. All three are former individual conference champions and each graduated from high school in 2000 from high schools in the greater Philadelphia area: Skelly from Washington Township High School and Darcy from Shawnee High School, both in New Jersey, and Franklin from Allentown, Pennsylvania\u27s William Allen High School

Field Guide to Granite Bay, Noosa Heads
No full text<b>General Context</b>\ud

Noosa National Park has had a long history of field teaching, being used for undergraduate teaching in the late 1950’s and 1960’s at The University of Queensland (e.g., Houston, 1959; Kretz, 1966). Most recently, it has been re - utilized for second year petrology and introductory mapping at Queensland University of Technology (QUT) , and is in combination with headlands to the south at Coolum and Pt Arkwright that represent field trip destinations for other first and second year subjects at QUT. \ud

The Noosa National Park preserves exposures of the latest Triassic - Middle Jurassic Nambour Basin, a component of the Mesozoic Great Australian Superbasin (Fig. 2 ; o r Great Artesian Basin; Cook et al., 2013). The Great Australian Superbasin developed following termination of the Hunter Bowen Orogeny in eastern Australia ~ 230 Ma (e.g., Holcombe et al., 1997). The expanse of this Superbasin, covering much of onshore Queensland, and extending into northern New South Wales, South Australia, the Northern Territory, Papua New Guinea and Indonesia ( covering up to ~25% of the Australian continent) reflects widespread stabilisation of the eastern and northern Australian margins . However, a distinguishing feature of the Great Australian Superbasin is the significant volume of brief episodes of contemporary volcaniclastic sedimentation preserved across the entire superbasin (Cook et al., 2013). Contemporary, but largely extrabasinal volcanism occurred in two pulses: the first in the Middle Jurassic ( Bathonian - Oxfordian, ~160 Ma) and Early Cretaceous (~135 - 90 Ma; e.g . , Ewart et al., 1992; Bryan et al., 1997; 2012). Both igneous pulses have been related to rifting events along the eastern margin of the basin , and the Middle Jurassic event also coincide d with Large Igneous Province magmatism and rifting along the NW Australian margin. Early - mid Cretaceous magmatism in Eastern Australia is related to the break - up of Eastern Gondwana a s recorded by the Whitsunday Silicic Large Igneous Province
Spatial memory performance in androgen insensitive male rats

A collection of foundational texts on the nature and behavioral consequences of sex differences in the brain, allowing readers to follow the development of a rapidly growing but contentious field and giving them the tools to analyze emerging scientific findings from many perspectives. --From publisher description.Published
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe 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
LABORATORY STUDY TO DETERMINE PERMEABILITY FROM WELL LOGS IN THE BRYAN FIELD
No full textProgram year: 1985/1986Digitized from print original stored in HDRThe purpose of this research was to determine if a substantial, consistent correlation exists between log derived porosity and formation permeability in the Bryan Field. Porosity and permeability measurements were performed on samples from three wells in the Bryan Field. The measured porosities were then plotted versus their corresponding permeabilities for each well. Two of the three wells exhibited porosity-permeability relationships that were consistent enough to be expressed in mathematical form. However, the two equations are dissimilar, therefore there is no field wide correlation according to this data
