Author-Suggested, Weighted Citation Index: A Novel Approach for Determining the Contribution of Individual Researchers
No full textA novel scientometric index, named ‘author-suggested, weighted citation index’ (Aw-index) is proposed to indicate the scientific contribution of any individual researcher. For calculation of the Aw-index, it is suggested that during the submission of a scholarly article, the corresponding author would provide a statement, agreed upon by all the authors, containing weightage factors against each author of the article. The author who contributed more to the article would secure a higher weightage factor. The summation of the weightage factors of all the authors of an article should be unity. The citation points a researcher receives from a scholarly publication is the product of his/her weightage factor for that article and the total number of citations of the article. The Aw-index of any individual researcher is the summation of the citation points he/she receives for all his/her publications as an author. The Aw-index provides the opportunity to the group of authors of a multi-authored article to determine the quantum of partial citations to be attributed to each of them. Through an illustrative example, a comparison of the proposed index with the major scientometric indexes is presented to highlight the advantages of the Aw-index
Intramuscular Sinusoidal Hemangioma with Masson’s Lesion, Masquerading as Parotid Tumor
No full textIntroduction
Sinusoidal hemangioma is a rare variant of cavernous hemangioma, described first by Calonje and Fletcher, more frequently subcutaneous and commonly found on the extremities. Fine needle aspiration cytology report was indeterminate. In such cases preoperative diagnosis is difficult. Slowly growing mass is the usual presenting complaint.
Case Report
A rare case of intramuscular sinusoidal hemangioma, with typical Masson’s lesion masquerading as a parotid tumor, in middle aged woman.
Discussion
Hemangiomas comprise 7% of all benign tumors and they are benign proliferative vascular tumors characterized by increased endothelial cell turn over. They are usually superficial and easy to diagnose whereas intramuscular hemangiomas (IMH) are uncommon and deep seated and difficult to diagnose. Fifteen percent of the IMHs are found in the head and neck area and the most common muscle affected is the masseter

Securitization and mortgage default
No full textThe academic literature, the popular press, and policymakers have all debated securitization's contribution to the poor performance of mortgages originated in the run-up to the recent crisis. Theoretical arguments have been advanced on both sides, but the lack of suitable data has made it difficult to assess them empirically. The author examines this issue by using a loan-level data set from LPS Analytics, covering approximately two-thirds of the mortgages originated in 2005 and 2006, and including both securitized and nonsecuritized loans. ; The author finds evidence that privately securitized loans do indeed perform worse than observably similar, nonsecuritized loans. Moreover, this effect is strongest in prime mortgage markets, which have not been studied in the previous literature. For example, a typical prime loan becomes delinquent at a 20 percent higher rate if it is privately securitized, ceteris paribus. This is consistent with the existence of adverse selection; that is, that lenders used information not available to investors to securitize loans that were riskier than they otherwise appeared. By contrast, for subprime mortgages, the impact of private securitization is concentrated in low or no-documentation loans; this latter result is consistent with previous work such as Keys et al. (2009).Mortgage-backed securities ; Default (Finance)
