Denitrification potential of beech soils as influenced by the seasonal cycle.
The potential for nitrification is appreciable throughout the whole seasonal cycle, but nitrate is depleted at different rates during the year. The highest values of nitrate depletion occurred in late spring, early summer and at leaf-fall when readily available carbon substrates are released from root exudates or from litter decomposition. -from Author
Nitrogen mineralization in southern beech forests.
Nitrogen mineralization has been studied in the slightly acidic brown earth on limestone of a beech stand and a beech-fir stand, in the forests of Monte Taburno (Campania Apennines). NH4 is the predominant form of the mineral N in the soil of both stands. Yearly NO3- production is 42.4 kg ha-1 in the beech stand and 47.0 kg ha-1 in the beech-fir stand.-from Author
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
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
