So far it was, additionally, known from Kuwait and Saudi Arabia (NILSSON 2012). SHARP (1882: 391) gave also the areas " Persia " and "northern India " which later on, however, have not been accepted by any author and are most probably due to a misidentification of another species. We can report the following record from close to the Iraqi border: 4, 4, " 12.9.2010 Iran, Khuzestan, 8 km SE Abadan, altitude 8 m, Darvishzadeh leg., ca. 30.29N 48.36E, pond" (CHF) (Fig. 23; square 1).

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
"Closing the R&D Gap, Evaluating the Sources of R&D Spending"
Get PDFBoth 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.
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
Letter from R. R. Zellick, Assistant Trust Officer, Anglo California National Bank of San Francisco, to Joseph R. Goodman, October 2, 1942
No full textLetter from R. R. Zellick, Assistant Trust Officer at The Anglo California National Bank of San Francisco, to Joseph R. Goodman, regarding property owned by Dave Tatsuno. Zellick mentions a dispute between current tenants and Tatsuno, and that Tatsuno has asked Goodman to help locate trustworthy tenants.Personal correspondence, organizational records, government documents, publications, and other papers created or collected by Joseph R. Goodman documenting the forced removal and incarceration of Japanese Americans during World War II, as well as organized resistance to incarceration. Included in the collection are records of the Japanese Young Men's Christian Association and the Japanese American Citizens' League in San Francisco, including papers of the Japanese YMCA's executive secretary Lincoln Kanai; Sakai family papers; Goodman's correspondence to and from Japanese American incarcerees, organizations opposing forced removal and incarceration of Japanese Americans, the War Relocation Authority, and others; publications, photographs, and ephemera from the Topaz Relocation Center, where Goodman taught high school; War Relocation Authority records and publications; and newspaper clippings, pamphlets, and reports about forced removal and incarceration created by various government, religious, and civic organizations, in California and nationwide
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

Laccophilus flexuosus AUBE 1838
No full textLaccophilus flexuosus AUBÉ 1838 Laccophilus flexuosus AUBÉ 1838: 430 (original description); SHARP 1873: 53; 1882: 310 (misidentification); RÉGIMBART 1889: 151; 1899: 256; ZIMMERMANN 1920: 18; 1930: 115; GUIGNOT 1959b: 11; VAZIRANI 1977: 12; BRANCUCCI 1983: 318 (description, distribution); HÁJEK, J. 2003: 117; HÁJEK & ŠŤASTNÝ 2005: 56; GHOSH et al. 2011: 9; NILSSON 2012 (distribution). This species was described by AUBÉ (1838: 430) from " Pondichéry " (= Pondicherry or Puducherry, in southern India (Oriental zoogeographical region); ca. 11.93N 79.78E). SHARP (1873: 53; 1882: 310) recorded under this name a species from " Mesopotamia " [more or less identical with todays Iraq] and " Persia " [= Iran] (among other countries) which later on RÉGIMBART (1889: 151) identified as another species which that author described as Laccophilus sharpi in the same publication. Some confusion about the distribution of L. flexuosus might have come up because VAZIRANI (1977: 12) provided as distribution area "from Iraq to Japan-Iran", however, most probably by citing only Sharp's data from 1882. Laccophilus sharpi belongs to the complicatus -group of the genus (BRANCUCCI 1983: 346), while L. flexuosus is a member of to the chinensis -group (l.c. p. 315). The latter species was recorded by BRANCUCCI (l.c. p. 318) from Cambodia, China, India, Japan, Myanmar, Nepal, Sri Lanka and Vietnam. It was recorded also from Pakistan by GUIGNOT (1959b: 11) and for the first time from Laos by HÁJEK & ŠŤASTNÝ (2005: 56). All these countries are also given in NILSSON (2012). Both species (identity checked by us via study of the median lobe) have been found together in the same pool (Fig. 22; together with Hydroglyphus angularis (KLUG 1834), and Canthydrus laetabilis (WALKER 1858) – see below) near the border to Pakistan, in the Sistan & Baluchestan province (= Ostān-e Sīstān-o Balūchestān): 1, 1, " 13.7.2011 Iran, Seistan, Chabahar, Guerduig vill., 5 km to Koch vill., pool, 25º46.084N 60º54.968E, Pešić leg. IR5" (Fig. 23; asterisk). Laccophilus flexuosus (Fig. 16) resembles not only L. sharpi (Fig. 17), but also somewhat paler individuals of the widely distributed Laccophilus poecilus KLUG 1843 (chinensis -group) (Fig. 18). All three species occur in Iran. They can easily be distinguished by the shape of their median lobes (Figs 10-12). This is the f i r s t (reliable) r e c o r d of L. flexuosus from Iran.
