Actividad afidicida de dodonaea viscosa, ricinus communis y serjania schiedeana contra melanaphis sacchari zehntner hemiptera: aphididae
No full textRESUMEN
El objetivo de este trabajo de investigación fue la purificación e identificación de al
menos un compuesto con actividad afidicida de alguna de las tres especies
medicinales Dodonaea viscosa, Ricinus communis y Serjania schiedeana. Las
hojas de Dodonaea viscosa se extrajeron con metanol y al ser evaluada la actividad
afidicida contra Melanaphis sacchari mostró un efecto del 64% en un bioensayo en
dieta artificial (BDA) a 10,000 ppm en 72 h. Este extracto metanólico se separó por
cromatografía en columna abierta, de la cual se obtuvo una fracción DvF3 con
contenido de flavonoides (de acuerdo a la CCF), que presentó una actividad
afidicida del 70% contra M. sacchari a 10,000 ppm en tres días en el BDA. De DvF3
se aisló y caracterizó un flavonol conocido como rutina, este compuesto presentó
actividad afidicida del 68% a 10,000 ppm en 72 h.
Por otro lado, el extracto de n-hexano de hojas de Ricinus communis, exhibió un
efecto afidicida potente del 96% contra Melanaphis sacchari a 10,000 ppm, en 72 h
en un bioensayo de contacto (BC). El fraccionamiento del extracto de n-hexano de
hojas dio origen a una fracción RcF3, que presentó un efecto afidicida del 90% a
10,000 ppm en 72 h, en un BC. Los principales compuestos de esta fracción eran
los ácidos mirístico y esteárico. La tercera especie en estudio es Serjania
schiedeana, que se extrajo sus tallos con metanol y una fracción acuosa obtenida
de este extracto mostró una actividad afidicida importante en un BDA del 84% a
10,000 ppm a los tres días. Un análisis por CCF y HPLC de esta fracción reveló la
presencia de proantocianidinas como compuestos mayoritarios. El control positivo
imidacloprid utilizado en todos los bioensayos presentó un 100% de mortalidad a
2
10,000 ppm a las 24 h. Estos resultados demuestran que las tres especies
vegetales en estudio, cuentan con un efecto afidicida importante y podríamos
sugerir sean consideradas en el control integrado de plagas
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
Estudio etnofarmacológico y fitoquímico de las plantas medicinales de mayor uso en Julián Blanco, Guerrero, México
Get PDFEl uso de plantas medicinales para tratar diversas enfermedades se ha visto fuertemente impulsado por el aumento del costo de los medicamentos y los efectos secundarios de éstos. Así, en países en vías de desarrollo, el uso de plantas medicinales se ha vuelto cada vez más importante en la atención primaria de la salud. En este artículo, se describen las especies vegetales que los habitantes de Julián Blanco, Guerrero, México, utilizan frecuentemente para el tratamiento de sus enfermedades. La información sobre nombres comunes, partes usadas y métodos de preparación fue obtenida a través de la aplicación de una encuesta mixta a 100 personas de la localidad. Se reporta un total de 74 especies pertenecientes a 35 familias y 69 géneros. Las especies vegetales con mayor porcentaje de mención fueron: Ceiba aesculifolia (Kunth) Britten & Baker f. (Malvaceae) (23%), Aristolochia tentaculata O.C.Schmidt (Aristolochiaceae) (12%), Lippia alba (Mill.) N.E.Br. ex Britton & P.Wilson (Verbenaceae) (12%), Senna alata (L.) Roxb. (Fabaceae) (12%) y Heterotheca inuloides Cav. ex Sosa & Gómez (Astaraceae) (10%). Mediante pruebas fitoquímicas clásicas, se registró que las especies de mayor uso contienen alcaloides, terpenos, flavonoides, cumarinas y triterpenos. Además, se llevó a cabo un análisis de cromatografía de gases masas (CG-MS) a C. aesculifolia, la especie vegetal de mayor mención, y se identificó el alcano nonacosano como compuesto mayoritario. Estos resultados indican que existe una gran variedad de especies vegetales y un conocimiento valioso para combatir las enfermedades.The use of medicinal plants to treat various diseases is strongly encouraged by the increase in
drug costs and their side effects. In underdeveloped countries, it has become increasingly important in primary health care. This work describes the plant species frequently used by the inhabitants of Julián Blanco, Guerrero, Mexico, for the treatment of their diseases. The information on common names, parts of the plants and preparation methods was obtained through a mixed survey of 100 people from the locality. A total of 74 species belonging to 35 families and 69 genera are reported. The plant species with the highest percentage of mentions were: Ceiba aesculifolia (Kunth) Britten & Baker f. (Malvaceae) (23%), Aristolochia tentaculate O.C.Schmidt (Aristolochiaceae) (12%), Lippia alba (Mill.) N.E.Br. ex Britton & P. Wilson (Verbenaceae) (12%), Senna alata (L.) Roxb. (Fabaceae) (12%) and Heterotheca inuloides Cav. ex Sosa & Gómez (Astaraceae) (10%). Classical phytochemical tests recorded that the most popular species contain alkaloids, terpenes, flavonoids, coumarins, and triterpenes. In addition, a mass gas chromatography (GC-MS) analysis was performed on C. aesculifolia, the most frequently mentioned plant species. The alkane nonacosane was identified as the main compound. These results indicate that there is a great variety of plant species and valuable knowledge to combat diseases
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
