Lowell Lecture Series: Cornel West: Race Matters (videorecording), 1996
No full textOn October 2, 1996, the Lowell Lecture Committee at Suffolk University hosted Dr. Cornel West, distinguished author, professor, and lecturer, to speak in the series Stemming the Tide of Violence in the United States and Beyond.
Dr. West\u27s talk, entitled Race Matters after his award-winning book, was delivered at the C. Walsh Theatre, and included a Q&A session with the audience, followed by a brief reception. These lectures were funded by a grant from the Lowell Institute and were open to the public.https://dc.suffolk.edu/su-av/1028/thumbnail.jp
Appropriate 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
Podcast: Digitalisierung der Stiftsbibliothek St. Gallen. Cornel Dora
No full text<p>Cornel Dora ist der aktuelle Leiter der Stiftsbibliothek St. Gallen, einer der ältesten Bibliotheken der Welt, die für ihre beeindruckende Sammlung an mittelalterlichen Manuskripten bekannt ist. Unter seiner Leitung hat die Bibliothek bedeutende Fortschritte in der Digitalisierung ihrer Sammlungen gemacht. Diese Digitalisierungsinitiative ermöglicht es Forschern und Interessierten weltweit, auf die wertvollen Manuskripte und Bücher zuzugreifen, ohne physisch anwesend sein zu müssen. Dies ist besonders wichtig, da viele der Werke fragil und selten sind und daher nicht leicht zugänglich gemacht werden können. Durch die Digitalisierung wird nicht nur der Zugang zu diesen historischen Schätzen erleichtert, sondern auch deren Erhaltung für zukünftige Generationen sichergestellt. Dora und sein Team setzen modernste Technologien ein, um die Manuskripte in hoher Auflösung zu digitalisieren und sie so detailliert wie möglich zu erfassen, wodurch sie eine wertvolle Ressource für Studien im Bereich der mittelalterlichen Geschichte, Literatur und Kunst darstellen (vgl. https://www.e-codices.unifr.ch/de).</p>
<p>Cornel Dora is the current head of the Abbey Library of Saint Gall, one of the oldest libraries in the world, known for its impressive collection of medieval manuscripts. He has guided significant advancements in digitization. This initiative allows for global access to precious manuscripts, often fragile, and ensures their preservation. Their detailed digitization provides an invaluable resource for research in medieval history, literature, and art (see https://www.e-codices.unifr.ch/en).</p>

"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
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
Preparation of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1)-based amplicon vectors
No full textAmplicon vectors, or amplicons, are defective, helper-dependent, herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1)-based vectors. The main interest of amplicons as gene transfer tools stems from the fact that the genomes of these vectors do not carry protein-encoding viral sequences. Consequently, they are completely safe for the host and nontoxic for the infected cells. Moreover, the complete absence of virus genes provides a genomic space authorizing a very large payload, enough to accommodate foreign DNA sequences up to almost 150-kbp, the size of the HSV-1 genome. This transgene capacity can be used to deliver complete gene loci, including introns and exons, as well as long regulatory sequences conferring tissue-specific expression or stable maintenance of the transgene in proliferating cells. For many years the development of these vectors and their application in gene transfer experiments was hindered by the presence of contaminating toxic helper virus particles in the vector stocks. In recent years, however, two different methodologies have been developed that allow generating amplicon stocks either completely free of helper particles or only faintly contaminated with fully defective helper particles. This chapter describes these two methodologies
