No full text<i>Plesioschwinzia sharovi</i> Gorochov & Coram sp. nov. <p>(Fig. 2)</p> <p> <b>Type material.</b> Holotype, imprint RS/Orth 1 (ZIN), counterpart (Fig. 2B); tegmen without proximal part; collected by R. Coram.</p> <p> <b>Etymology.</b> Dedicated to the memory of the famous Russian palaeoentomologist-orthopterologist A.G. Sharov.</p> <p> <b>Diagnosis.</b> The tegmen of the new species differs from the majority of true and possible congeners in that the base of MA2 is located distinctly less close to the MA1 bifurcation. In addition, it is distinguished by the following tegminal characters: from <i>P. thalassophila</i> and <i>P</i>.? <i>pulchella</i> also having four long and oblique branches of Sc, by longer branches of MP+CuA1 and a shorter distance between CuA2 base and MP+CuA1 bifurcation (from <i>P. thalassophila</i> only), or by a clearly longer RS with its base located distinctly closer to the apex of the precostal area (from <i>P</i>.? <i>pulchella</i> which has this base located behind all the visible branches of Sc); from <i>P</i>. <i>bernstorffi</i>, <i>P</i>. <i>kruegeri</i>, <i>P</i>. <i>uvarovi</i>, <i>P</i>. <i>gracilis</i>, <i>P</i>. <i>lacera</i>, <i>P</i>. <i>lacoei</i> and <i>P</i>. <i>procera</i>, by more numerous (not two or three) Sc branches. The new species differs from <i>P</i>.? <i>constricta</i> and <i>P</i>.? <i>posterior</i> in the presence of four (rather than one) long and oblique tegminal Sc branches; additionally, it differs from the first species in that the base of tegminal MA2 is located much closer to the MA1 bifurcation, and from the second species, in having a tegmen with a clearly narrower CuA-CuP area and the MP+CuA1 branches being not fused with each other by their distal parts.</p> <p> <b>Type locality and horizon.</b> Upper Triassic, Rhaetian, Penarth Group, Lilstock Formation, Cotham Member, Blue Anchor Point, Somerset, UK (national UK Grid Reference ST 033 435).</p> <p> <b>Description.</b> Male tegmen (Fig. 2A): precostal area with numerous and dense oblique branches in distal portion; costal area long (apex of Sc located far behind bases of all branches of RS), with four more or less long and oblique branches of Sc as well as a very narrow distal half; RS with four branches and with base located not far from apex of precostal area; base of MA2 located some distance from MA1 bifurcation; area between MA and MP+CuA1 moderately wide, significantly wider than R-M area but insignificantly wider than CuA-CuP area, with crossveins somewhat irregular, MP+CuA1 with two branches practically parallel to MA branches, but anal branch of MP+CuA slightly arcuate and with apex located very near apex of costal branch of this vein; distance between base of CuA1 and MP+CuA1 bifurcation not long; area CuA-CuP without any distinct widening near base of CuA2. Length of imprint 12.3 mm; possible length of tegmen 15 mm.</p>Published as part of <i>GOROCHOV, ANDREI V. & CORAM, ROBERT A., 2023, New and little known taxa of the order Orthoptera (Insecta) from the Upper Triassic and Lower Jurassic of England, pp. 198-204 in Palaeoentomology 6 (2)</i> on pages 202-203, DOI: 10.11646/palaeoentomology.6.2.11, <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/7928885">http://zenodo.org/record/7928885</a>

Daniilacheta Gorochov & Coram 2023, gen. nov.
No full textGenus <i>Daniilacheta</i> Gorochov & Coram gen. nov. <p> <b>Type species.</b> <i>Daniilacheta aristovi</i> <b>gen. et sp. nov.,</b> by present designation.</p> <p> <b>Composition.</b> Only type species.</p> <p> <b>Etymology.</b> After the first name of the Russian palaeoentomologist Daniil [=Danila] S. Aristov (in his memory) and the genus <i>Acheta</i>.</p> <p> <b>Diagnosis.</b> Male tegmen (Fig. 1A) with a very long apical area and distinctly developed stridulatory apparatus having the following characters: lancet-like area also distinctly developed, probably moderately wide and with two or three crossveins in its distal half; distal parts of Sc and R+1MA1 strongly protruding beyond this area; harp area with strongly arcuate crossveins (“oblique veins”); diagonal vein and proximal part of CuA2 (before it) clearly developed; rest of CuA2 (behind diagonal vein) and majority of branches of MP+CuA1 almost straight to very slightly arcuate, obliquely longitudinal, with areas between them rather narrow and more or less equal in shape but gradually narrowing to tegminal apex; stridulatory vein obliquely transverse, rather long; chords strongly curved but not long.</p> <p> <b>Remarks.</b> The new genus is similar to <i>Bacharogryllus</i> in the presence of two or more crossveins in the lancet-like area, but is distinguished from it by this area having more numerous crossveins in its distal half (<i>Bacharogryllus</i> has one crossvein, whereas <i>Daniilacheta</i> <b>gen. nov.</b> has two or more) and by a shorter harp area with significantly more arcuate crossveins. The new genus differs from <i>Archaegryllodes</i> in having more numerous crossveins in the lancet-like area (<i>Archaegryllodes</i> has only one crossvein) as well as having a shorter harp area and a longer stridulatory vein. Differences from <i>Protogryllus</i> are problematic with respect to the above discussion, but some specimens known from male tegmina and included in this genus by different authors are distinguished from <i>Daniilacheta</i> <b>gen. nov.</b> by the lancet-like area lacking crossveins, the harp area with almost straight crossveins, the apical area and distal parts of Sc and R+1MA1 distinctly shorter, and some of the MP+CuA1 branches clearly S-shaped.</p> <p> It is necessary also to mention that <i>Aenigmagryllus</i> Gorochov, 1992 (Upper Jurassic or Lower Cretaceous of Mongolia), which has an unknown lancet-like area, is included in Protogryllidae without attribution to any subfamily and differs from the new genus in having less arcuate crossveins of the harp area, a strongly S-shaped portion of CuA2 located behind the diagonal vein, and a shorter costal (longest) chord. The two other subfamilies of Protogryllidae (Karataogryllinae Gorochov, 1985 and Falsispeculinae Gorochov, 1985) can be respectively distinguished from the new genus by a much longer costal chord of the male tegmen and by the absence of crossveins in the distal part of the lancet-like area mentioned above (Falsispeculinae and Protogryllinae differ from each other mainly in the structure of the base of this lancet-like area, unknown in the new genus, and in this connection, inclusion of this genus in Protogryllinae but not to Falsispeculinae is somewhat tentative).</p>Published as part of <i>GOROCHOV, ANDREI V. & CORAM, ROBERT A., 2023, New and little known taxa of the order Orthoptera (Insecta) from the Upper Triassic and Lower Jurassic of England, pp. 198-204 in Palaeoentomology 6 (2)</i> on pages 199-200, DOI: 10.11646/palaeoentomology.6.2.11, <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/7928885">http://zenodo.org/record/7928885</a>
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
"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.
The DAQ system for CORAM (COsmic RAy Mission) experiment
No full textCORAM (COsmic RAy Mission) is an experiment carried out by INFN and the University of Salento for studying and measuring several properties of the cosmic ray flux. The CORAM detector can be used both for experimental and outreach goals and it is designed also for aereospace applications. The final Data Acquisition system (DAQ) has been implemented in order to create a compact, redundant and user friendly device that can be used for several purposes. In this work we present this DAQ system and the electronics used
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
