Sedimentology of the Irene and la toma formations from the neogene of the Claromecó basin, Buenos Aires
Full text linkLa cuenca de Claromecó se ubica entre los positivos de Tandil y Ventania. La Formación Irene fue definida para el ámbito del sudoeste de esta Pampa Interserrana, Buenos Aires, para margas claras diaclasadas y lajadas que alcanzan 7 m de espesor en la Estación Irene del Ferrocarril General Roca. Estas rocas que comprenden lo que fue denominado "Araucanense" están subyaciendo limos arenosos carbonáticos rojizos que corresponden a sedimentos pampeanos de la Formación La Toma. De acuerdo a los contenidos fosilíferos y la presencia de escorias, estos sedimentos que coronan las lomas han sido equiparados a las Formaciones Monte Hermoso y Chapadmalal. Se postula entonces una edad pliocena para la porción aflorante (superior) de la Formación Irene y para la formación La Toma. El paisaje es de lomas coronadas por limos entoscados.The Claromecó Basin is located between the horst of Tandil and Ventania. The Irene formation is defined to the west of the Interserrana ("between ranges") Plain, Buenos Aires Province, for light-coloured carbonatic siltstones with joints that sums 7 m thick at the locality close to Irene Railway Station. These rocks comprising the Araucanense are underlying reddish sandy silts assigned to the Pampian sediments of La Toma Formation. According to the fossiliferous and escoria content, these sediments were similar to those outcropping as Monte Hermoso and Chapadmalal formations. It is therefore assumed a Pliocene age for the upper levels of the Irene Formation, as well as to the La Toma Formation. The hilly landscape is crowned by silt with calcretes.Fil: Isla, Federico Ignacio. Universidad Nacional de Mar del Plata. Facultad de Ciencias Exactas y Naturales.

Relict intrapampean dunes in Daireaux and Centinela del Mar, Buenos Aires.
Full text linkLos sedimentos denominados informalmente "pampeanos" son reconocidos como un paquete de limos y limos arenosos depositados desde el Plioceno superior hasta el Pleistoceno superior, con dos intercalaciones marinas hacias el este, reconocidas fundamentalmente por acumulaciones de valvas marinas: el Interensenadense, y el Belgranense. En el oeste de la provincia de Buenos Aires una extensa área ha sido denominada Mar de arena. En canales próximos a Daireaux y en acantilados marinos de Centinela del Mar, se describieron depósitos arenosos con estratificación diagonal de mesoescala que prueban la presencia de campos de arena por debajo de los depósitos limosos. Las edades del Pleistoceno superior han sido confirmadas por las asociaciones de vertebrados recuperados. En Centinela del Mar, la edad de estos médanos transversales que conformaban una barrera litoral ha sido también confirmada por su vinculación con el máximo nivel del mar alcanzado durante el interglacial Sangamon (Pleistoceno superior, 120.000 años AP).The sediments informally called "pampeanos" are recognized as a package of silts and sandy silts deposited from the Upper Pliocene to Upper Pleistocene, interfingered with two transgressions to the east, discriminated by shells concentrations: the Interensenadan and the Belgranian transgressions. To the west of the Buenos Aires province, an extended area with dunes was called Sand Sea. Within channels excavated in Daireaux, and sea cliffs from Centinela del Mar, mesoscale crossbeding were described probing the presence of sand fields overlaid by silt deposits. Upper Pleistocene ages were confirmed by the assemblages of vertebrate remains. In Centinela del Mar, the age of these transverse dunes that are composing a littoral barrier was also confirmed in their relation to the maximum sea level highstand reached during the Sangamon interglacial (Upper Pleistocene; 120,000 years BP).Fil: Isla, Federico Ignacio.

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
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
