Square Dancing with the Stars to Enhance Dynamic Hirschman Linkages?
No full textIn this Presidential Address, the author takes the reader on a reconnaissance of his life and time as a regional scientist. He points out scenery he found scintillating along the way, hoping that some may pick up the banner and chew on a few of the ideas for a while. He suggests a revisit to Albert O. Hirschman’s notion of key sectors and more empirical analysis related to Marcus Berliant’s and Masahisa Fujita’s notion of knowledge creation and transfer.Presidential Address, San Antonio, Texas, March 29, 2014 (53rd Meetings of the Southern Regional Science Association
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
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
O. A. C. Review Volume L Issue 5, February 1938
No full textThis issue begins with an article about the history of Red Fife Wheat from its origins in Galicia to its importation to Peterborough. Agricultural articles pertain to the dietary benefits of human consumption of rye and timothy grasses, and continued research in soil nutrient depletion. Other articles include the presentation of A. T. Christie's Victorian medals to the Ontario Agricultural College. An alumnus continues his 1931 story as a stowaway. The English column addresses the use of proper English and the origin of the Little Theatre Movement. While the literary column provides book reviews, an account of the Canadian Author Lecture by H. Napier Moore, and the composition of epitaphs. The athletics column reports on the results of the competitions in basketball, swimming, hockey, boxing, wrestling, and fencing. In the Macdonald Institute column a student describes the O. A. C. campus to foreign students, there are also accounts of the "Feminine Section of O. A. C., and a tally of the food consumed in the dinning hall. The highlight of the campus news column is the Conversazione of 1938 and the social events of the season. The O. V. C. column provides updates of the joint social events between the colleges on campus. A new column - the Club News, reviews events for each of the animal husbandry, field husbandry, dairy, horticulture, and biology clubs. Alumni and Alumnae columns provide alumni updates.EditorialLand of the first Red Fife kernelA. T.

DNA fusion gene vaccination mobilizes effective anti-leukemic cytotoxic T lymphocytes from a tolerized repertoire
No full textThe majority of known human tumor-associated antigens derive from non-mutated self proteins. T cell tolerance, essential to prevent autoimmunity, must therefore be cautiously circumvented to generate cytotoxic T cell responses against these targets. Our strategy uses DNA fusion vaccines to activate high levels of peptide-specific CTL. Key foreign sequences from tetanus toxin activate tolerance-breaking CD4+ T cell help. Candidate MHC class Ibinding tumor peptide sequences are fused to the C terminus for optimal processing and presentation. To model performance against a leukemia-associated antigen in a tolerized setting, we constructed a fusion vaccine encoding an immunodominant CTL epitopederived from Friend murine leukemia virus gag protein (FMuLVgag) and vaccinated tolerant FMuLVgag-transgenic (gag-Tg) mice. Vaccination with the construct induced epitopespecificIFN-c-producing CD8+ T cells in normal and gag-Tg mice. The frequency and avidity of activated cells were reduced in gag-Tg mice, and no autoimmune injury resulted. However, these CD8+ T cells did exhibit gag-specific cytotoxicity in vitro and in vivo. Also, epitope-specific CTL killed FBL-3 leukemia cells expressing endogenous FMuLVgag antigen and protected against leukemia challenge in vivo. These results demonstrate a simple strategy to engage anti-microbial T cell help to activate epitope-specific polyclonal CD8+ T cell responses from a residual tolerized repertoire

Previous issue date: 2015-03-26This dissertation analises the work of the austrian director Michael Haneke, placing it as
a cinematographic representation of the liquid discomfort. To do so, first, it makes a
historical and social survey about the elements that compose the liquid discomfort.
Then, it studies is forming concepts, through the work of Jean Braudillard and, mainly,
through the liquid theory of Zygmunt Bauman, characterizing the liquid discomfort from
those theories. From that point, it brings Haneke as an author, to allow the use of his
cinematography in terms of filmic representation of the liquid discomfort. As a
methodological model of analysis, it bases in Aumont and Dubois to create an hybrid
method of a more fluid and essay-like way: the narrative analysis. Supported in this
progression, it analyses Haneke's first two feature films comercially distributed in
screening rooms, The seventh continent (1989), and Benny?s video (1992), with the
intent of showing its hipothesis.Esta disserta??o analisa a obra do diretor austr?aco Michael Haneke, posicionando-a

Self-archiving practice and the influence of publisher policies in the social sciences
No full textAuthors in different disciplines exhibit very different behaviours on the so-called ‘green’ road to open access, i.e. self-archiving. This study looks at the self-archiving behaviour of authors publishing in leading journals in six social science disciplines. It tests the hypothesis that authors are self-archiving according to the norms of their respective disciplines rather than following self-archiving policies of publishers, and that, as a result, they are self-archiving significant numbers of publisher PDF versions. It finds significant levels of
self-archiving, as well as significant self-archiving of
the publisher PDF version, in all the disciplines
investigated. Publishers’ self-archiving policies have
no influence on author self-archiving practice

Following electron impact excitation of single (N, O, F, Ne, Na, Mg, Al, Si) atom L subshells ionization cross section calculations by using Lotz’s equation
No full text32nd International Physics Congress of Turkish-Physical-Society (TPS) -- SEP 06-09, 2016 -- Bodrum, TURKEYL shell and L subshells ionization cross sections sigma(L) and sigma(Li) (i = 1, 2, 3) following electron impact on (N,O, F, Ne Na, Mg, Al, Si) atoms calculated. By using Lotz' equation for nonrelativistic cases in Matlab sigma(L) and sigma(Li) cross section values obtained for ten electron impact(E-o) values in the range of E-Li< 10E(Li)(but only for Na 8E(Li);) for each atom. Starting from E-o=E-Li(each subshell ionization threshold energy), sigma(L) and sigma(Li) are increasing rapidly with E-o. For a fixed E-o value(approximate to 3.E-Li), while Z value increases from 7 <= Z<14 sigma(L) and sigma(Li) decrease. Results show that for smaller values of E-o(close to E-Li), x-ray yields formation of L-i(i=1,2,3) subshells decreases while competing other yields are increase. Results may help to understand similar findings which obtained from other electron impact excitation of L shell sigma(L) and subshells sigma(Li) studies for single atoms.Turkish Phys SocDicle University [13-FF-83]Dicle University supported the study by registered project number: 13-FF-83(http://dubap.dicle.edu.tr)
