Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Chromosomal mapping of human cytokeratin 13 gene (KRT13).
No full textIn the present study the human cytokeratin 13 gene (KRT13), encoding a polypeptide characteristic of internal stratified epithelia, has been mapped with the help of the polymerase chain reaction and somatic cell hybrids to chromosome 17. In situ hybridization of a KRT13 cDNA probe to metaphase chromosomes allowed the assignment of the KRT13 gene within the q12-q21.2 region of chromosome 17
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
RFLP discordance in a PKU family due to a deletion in the PAH gene
No full text: We have previously reported preliminary data on a PKU family showing a discordant segregation of Pvu II (b) alleles at the PAH locus. A combination of several restriction enzymes and probe C2.6 (Intron 2) as well as STR typing were used to dissect the molecular structure of the PAH gene around exon 3. In this family, the results of this analysis and a re-examination of the physical map of the 5'-end of the gene provided strong evidence for the occurrence of a deletion removing exon 3. The "Sicilian" (approximately 2.5 kb) and "Yemenite Jew" (6.7 kb) deletions, the latter one also deleting exon 3, are different in terms of both the 5'-end breakpoint and apparent length. This study, besides adding a new member to the long and increasing list of nearly 200 PAH gene mutations, also proposes to undertake a careful evaluation of RFLP discordances incidentally detected at the PAH locus
