Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
The 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
INTERACTION WITH TYPE II ESTROGEN BINDING SITES AND ANTIPROLIFERATIVE ACTIVITY OF TAMOXIFEN AND QUERCETIN IN HUMAN NON SMALL CELL LUNG CANCER.
Integrin (alpha 6/beta 4) expression in human lung cancer as monitored by specific monoclonal antibodies.
In this study, the expression of the alpha 6/beta 4 integrin complex was analyzed in human lung carcinomas both in vitro and in vivo, using two monoclonal antibodies which recognize the integrin subunits alpha 6 (Mab 135-13C) and beta 4 (Mab 439-9B). Immunoprecipitation patterns obtained from established human lung carcinoma cell lines demonstrated that the alpha 6 and the beta 4 subunits were differentially expressed in carcinomas of different types. The alpha 6 subunit was expressed in all the cell lines tested (squamous cell carcinoma A431, adenocarcinoma A549, large cell carcinoma DG3, and small cell carcinoma AE2). The beta 4 subunit was expressed in non-small cell cancer lines but was not detectable in the small cell cancer line tested. Using a quantitative two-site assay, we measured the concentration of the alpha 6/beta 4 integrin in matched biopsies from primary lung tumors and from normal lung. These studies confirmed that the complex was differentially expressed in non-small versus small cell lung cancers and that it was also detectable in lysates from normal lung at low levels. The highest levels of alpha 6/beta 4 were found in moderately differentiated squamous cell carcinomas. By immunohistochemistry, the beta 4 subunit was detectable in all the squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinomas tested (a total of 59), but not in 10 small cell cancers. The patterns of immunoreactivity were consistent with the expected distribution of membrane glycoproteins and, in some squamous cell carcinomas, were suggestive of the localization displayed by molecules involved in carcinoma-stroma interaction. Immunohistochemical staining indicated that beta 4 was also expressed in specific types of nonrespiratory pulmonary epithelial cells
Variations on the Author
“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
