Capacidad de transmisión de los organismos asociados a la enfermedad “Muerte Regresiva” en Tectona grandis L.f. (teca) por insectos de la subfamilia Scolytinae en dos zonas de la región Litoral del Ecuador.
No full textTectona grandis L.f., is a forest species found in countries such as India, Myanmar, Lao People's Democratic Republic and Thailand, Costa Rica, Trinidad and Tobago, Panama, El Salvador, Cuba, Guatemala, Colombia, Venezuela, Brazil, Peru, Bolivia and Ecuador; in recent years in Ecuador a pathology has been observed whose symptoms are attributed to the disease known as Regressive Death”. In the plantations, perforations in the stem have also been observed, which are caused by boring insects of the order Coleoptera. There is a group of insects of the Scolytidae subfamily known as Ambrosia beetles, they are called vectors that carry the spores of the fungus in their exoskeleton. Its food is the bark of the wood, sapwood, heartwood and ragweed fungi, the present study aims to: To determine the transmission capacity of organisms associated with the disease "dieback" by insects Scolytinae in the Litoral region of Ecuador. The research was developed in two phases: phase one was carried out in two commercial teak plantations located in the cantons of Balzar and Buena fe, where three sentinel-type traps were placed in each plantation, suspended 1.50 m high from the base of the shaft where they remained for thirty days. This activity was carried out either at the National Agricultural Research Institute of the Pichilingue Tropical Experimental Station within the facilities of the Department of Plant Protection. The microorganisms present were isolated from both the exoskeleton and the hemolymph of the Scolytinae insects captured in the sentinel traps. Fusarium spp, Lasiodiplodia sp and Ceratocystis sp.; from the exoskeleton and hemolymph of the (Scolytinae) it was possible to isolate: Fusarium spp and Lasiodiplodia sp. Based on the statistical analyzes carried out, the plantation located in the Buena Fe canton obtained the highest number of organisms, both in sentinel traps and insects, the predominant organism in the Exoskeleton and Hemolymph was the genus Fusarium spp and the lowest was Lasiodiplodia sp. The results of this work will serve as a baseline study to determine the dispersal capacity of this phytosanitary problem.
Keyword: scolithin, exoskeleton, hemolymph.Tectona grandis L.f., es una especie forestal se encuentra en los países tales como India, Myanmar, República Democrática Popular Laos y Tailandia, Costa Rica, Trinidad y Tobago, Panamá, El Salvador, Cuba, Guatemala, Colombia, Venezuela, Brasil, Perú, Bolivia y Ecuador; en los últimos años en Ecuador se ha observado una patología cuyos síntomas se atribuyen a la enfermedad conocida como Muerte Regresiva”. En las plantaciones también se ha observado perforaciones en el fuste, que son provocadas por insectos barrenadores del orden Coleóptero. Existe un grupo de insectos de la subfamilia Scolytinae conocidos como escarabajos de Ambrosia, se denominan vectores transporta las esporas del hongo en su exoesqueleto. Su alimentación es la corteza de la madera, albura, duramen y hongos de ambrosía, el presente estudio tiene como objetivo: Determinar la capacidad de transmisión de los organismos asociados a la enfermedad “Muerte Regresiva” por insectos Scolytinae en la región Litoral del Ecuador. La investigación se desarrolló en dos fases: la fase uno ejecutada en dos plantaciones comerciales de teca ubicadas en los cantones Balzar y Buena fe, donde se colocaron en cada plantación tres trampas tipo centinelas, suspendidas a 1,50 m de altura desde la base del fuste donde permanecieron por treinta días. Esta actividad se realizó o en el Instituto Nacional de Investigaciones Agropecuarias de la Estación Experimental Tropical de Pichilingue dentro de las instalaciones del Departamento de Protección Vegetal. Se procedió a aislar los microorganismos presentes tanto del exoesqueleto como de la hemolinfa de los insectos Scolytinae capturados en las trampas centinela. Los organismos aislados de las galerías ocasionadas por los escarabajos en las trampas centinelas fueron: Fusarium spp, Lasiodiplodia sp y Ceratocystis sp.; del exoesqueleto y hemolinfa de los (Scolytinae) se logró aislar: Fusarium spp y Lasiodiplodia sp. En base a los análisis estadísticos realizados la plantación ubicada en el cantón Buena fe obtuvo el mayor número de organismos, tanto en trampas centinelas e insectos, el organismo predominante en el Exoesqueleto y Hemolinfa fue el género Fusarium spp y el menor fue Lasiodiplodia sp. Los resultados de este trabajo servirán como estudio de línea base para determinar la capacidad de dispersión de este problema fitosanitario.

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
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
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe 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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe 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
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
