No full textBrazil is the third largest global producer of black pepper. Despite the economic importance of black pepper, Brazilian production faces significant challenges. Average yield is notably low, with both biotic and abiotic factors impacting productivity. Among the biotic factors, the fungus Fusarium solani f. sp. Piperis, which causes fusariosis, which attacks the root system and can lead to the death of plants. Abiotic factors, such as water deficit and flooding, also drastically reduce production. Resistance to water stress is crucial to face these challenges. Reducing growth in response to resource constraints is a common strategy. Furthermore, flooding represents another concern for producers. Stressed plants save energy for survival, adjusting the distribution of photoassimilates until conditions return to normal. Soil-borne diseases such as fusariosis pose a significant threat to black pepper plantations around the world. Fusarium solani f. sp. Piperis colonizes xylem vessels, interrupting the transport of water and nutrients. Gas exchange assessments were carried out using Irga, chlorophyll a flowering, photosynthetic pigment content, growth and mass accumulation and anatomy analyzes were also carried out. After the drought cycles, there was a reduction in the polar diameter of the stomata in P. tuberculatum and in the equatorial diameter in P. aduncum. Stomatal density was increased in P. tuberculatum during drought. At T0, the values of photosynthetic performance indexes related to absorption were higher, with a reduction in rehydration. Photosynthetic performance indices showed a drastic reduction in the ‘Balankota’ genotype. P. tuberculatum and Bragantina showed a reduction in stomatal density in flooding when compared to the control. Flooding led to an increase in the polar diameter of the stomata in 'Bragantina', 'Kottanadan' and P. tuberculatum. Among the inoculated plants, P. caldense, P. aduncum, P. tuberculatum and P. hispidum showed an increase in the photochemical quantum yield for heat dissipation and 'Kottanadan' showed a reduction. At the end of the experiment, the survival rate was higher in plants grafted onto Piper caldense (38.88%), followed by ‘Bragantina’ (11.11%), Piper aduncum showed the lowest survival rate (7.41%). There was a reduction in the rate of photosynthesis in the ‘Kottanadan’ genotype in the inoculated plants. Among the species studied, P. aduncum was the only one that showed significant differences in relation to the other species. P. caldense had the highest survival percentage and P. aduncum had the lowest survival. It is concluded that plants in drought cycles showed alarm that consequently activated escape mechanisms to tolerate stress, P. tuberculatum showed more alarm signals and memory in the face of stress.

Apesar da importância econômica da pimenta do reino, a produção brasileira enfrenta desafios significativos. O rendimento médio é notavelmente baixo, com fatores bióticos e abióticos impactando a produtividade. Entre os fatores bióticos, destaca-se o fungo Fusarium solani f. sp. Piperis, causador da fusariose, que ataca o sistema radicular e pode levar à morte das plantas. Fatores abióticos, como déficit hídrico e alagamento, também reduzem drasticamente a produção. A resistência ao estresse hídrico é crucial para enfrentar esses desafios. A redução do crescimento em resposta a limitações de recursos é uma estratégia comum. Além disso, o alagamento, representa outra preocupação para os produtores. As plantas estressadas economizam energia para sobrevivência, ajustando a distribuição de fotoassimilados até a normalização das condições. Doenças do solo, como a fusariose, representam uma ameaça significativa para as plantações de pimenteirado-reino em todo o mundo. Fusarium solani f. sp. Piperis coloniza os vasos xilemáticos, interrompendo o transporte de água e nutrientes. Foram realizadas avalições de trocas gasosas utilizando Irga, foram realizadas também avaliações de florescência da clorofila a, teor de pigmentos fotossintéticos, analises de crescimento e acumulo de massa e anatomia. Após os ciclos de seca houve a redução no diâmetro polar dos estomatos em P. tuberculatum e no diâmetro equatorial em P. aduncum. A densidade estomática foi aumentada em P. tuberculatum na seca. No T0 os valores dos índices de performance fotossintético relativo à absorção foram superiores, havendo redução na reidratação. Os índices de performance fotossintético apresentou uma redução drástica no genótipo ‘Balankota’. P. tuberculatum e Bragantina apresentaram uma redução na densidade estomática no alagamento quando comparado com o controle. O alagamento proporcionou o aumento no diâmetro polar dos estômatos em ‘Bragantina’, ‘Kottanadan’ e P. tuberculatum quando.Dentre as plantas inoculadas P. caldense, P. aduncum, P. tuberculatum e P. hispidum apresentaram aumento no rendimento quântico fotoquímico para dissipação de calor e ‘Kottanadan’ apresentou uma redução. Ao final do experimento a taxa de sobrevivência foi superior nas plantas enxertadas em Piper caldense (38,88%), seguida por ‘Bragantina’ (11,11%), Piper aduncum apresentou a menor taxa de sobrevivência (7,41%). Houve uma redução na taxa de fotossíntese no genótipo ‘Kottanadan’ nas plantas inoculadas. Dentre as espécies estudadas P. aduncum foi a única que apresentou diferenças significativas em relação as demais espécies. P. caldense apresentou a maior porcentagerm de sobrevivência e P. aduncum apresentou a menor sobrevivência. Conclui-se que as plantas dos ciclos de seca apresentaram alarme que consequentemente ativou mecanismos de fuga para tolerar o estresse, P. tuberculatum mostrou mais alarme sinais e memória diante do estresse. Conclui-se que as plantas dos ciclos de seca apresentaram alarme que consequentemente ativou mecanismos de fuga para tolerar o estresse, P. tuberculatum mostrou mais alarme sinais e memória diante do estresse.FAPE
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
Get PDFWe 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.
