Uplift of the SE margin of the Central Anatolian plateau: Temporal constraints from the Adana Basin, southern Turkey
No full textSedimentary evidence for late Messinian uplift of the SE margin of the central Anatolian Plateau: Adana Basin, Southern Turkey
No full textThe Adana Basin of southern Turkey, located at the SE margin of the Central Anatolian Plateau in
the vicinity of the Arabia-Eurasia collision zone, is ideally suited to record Neogene and Quaternary
topographic and tectonic changes in the easternmost Mediterranean realm. On the basis of our correlation of 34 seismic reflection profiles with corresponding exposed units along the margins of the
Adana Basin, we identify and characterize the seismic facies that corresponds to the upper part of the
Messinian Handere Formation (ca. 5.45 to 5.33 Ma), which consists mainly of fluvial conglomerates
and marls. The seismic reflection profiles indicate that ca. 1100 km3 of the Handere Formation
upper sub-unit is distributed over ca. 3000 km2, reflecting local sedimentation rates of up to
12.5 mm year1. This indicates a major increase in both sediment supply and subsidence rates at
ca. 5.45 Ma. Our provenance analysis of the Handere Formation upper sub-unit based on clast
counting and palaeocurrent measurements reveals that most of the sediment is derived from the
Taurus Mountains at the SE margin of the Central Anatolian Plateau and regions farther north. A
comparison of these results with the composition of recent fluvial conglomerates and the present-day
drainage basins indicates major changes between late Messinian and present-day source areas. We
suggest that these changes in drainage patterns and lithological characteristics result from uplift and
ensuing erosion of the SE margin of the plateau. We interpret the tectonic evolution of the southern
flank of the Anatolian Plateau and the coeval subsidence and sedimentation in the Adana Basin to be
related to deep lithospheric processes, particularly lithospheric delamination and slab break-off
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
Messinian Paleoenvironmental Changes in the Easternmost Mediterranean Basin (Adana Basin, Southern Turkey)
No full text""\\"We present detailed Messinian paleoenvironmental reconstructions for the Adana Basin based on a multidisciplinary. approach that utilizes the fossil content of the Kuzgun and Handere Formations. To reconstruct the paleoenvironmental changes. that affected the Adana Basin during the Messinian, we analyzed mollusk, ostracod, planktonic and benthonic foraminifer, and. calcareous nannofossil assemblages from 2 stratigraphic sections near Kabasakal village (Adana, southern Turkey). To determine if. the environmental changes recognized in the Adana Basin are local or regional, and to understand the extent to which the global. changes in oceanic circulation impacted the Mediterranean sedimentary basins, we compare our results with Messinian sections from. other locations in the Mediterranean region (northern Italy, southern Italy, Cyprus, Algeria, and southern Turkey). The occurrence. of N. humerosa, G. bulloides, G. woodi, N. acostaensis, N. atlantica (planktonic forams), S. multiflora, T. rugosa, P. elongata, C. scitula,. L. lipadusensis (ostracods), R. rotaria, A. primus, and A. delicatus (calcareous nannofossils) allows us to constrain the uppermost part. of the Kuzgun Formation to the early Messinian. The ostracod assemblages indicate an enclosed marine environment characterized. by sporadic local freshwater inputs that decreased the salinity of the basin. In contrast, in the late Messinian Handere Formation, the. presence of Paratethyan ostracods pertaining to the Loxoconcha mülleri zone and to the Loxocorniculina djafarovi zone in the Handere. Formation indicates the occurrence of the Messinian brackish water Lago-Mare event in the Adana Basin, which occurred throughout. the Mediterranean between 5.60 and 5.33 Ma.\\""
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
