United States: CA, ID (Harris & Shull 1944), MT, OR, UT (Pack & Knowlton 1930, Knowlton 1936, Knowlton & Harmston 1940, Rider 1990), WA. Comments: Records of Neottiglossa cavifrons from the western United States (e.g., Pack & Knowlton 1930) are misidentifications and apply to this species. Also, see comments under Neottiglossa cavifrons and Neottiglossa sulcifrons.Published as part of Rider, David A. & Swanson, Daniel R., 2021, A distributional synopsis of the Pentatomidae (Heteroptera) north of Mexico, including new state and provincial records, pp. 1-69 in Zootaxa 5015 (1) on page 14, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5015.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/515908
Overall buckling of lightweight stiffened panels using an adapted orthotropic plate method
No full textThe ultimate longitudinal bending strength of thin plated steel structures such as box girder bridges and ship hulls can be determined using an incremental–iterative procedure known as the Smith progressive collapse method. The Smith method first calculates the response of stiffened panel sub-structures in the girder and then integrates over the cross section of interest to calculate a moment–curvature response curve. A suitable technique to determine the strength behaviour of stiffened panels within the Smith method is therefore of critical importance. A fundamental assumption of the established progressive collapse method is that the buckling and collapse behaviour of the compressed panels within the girder occurs between adjacent transverse frames. However, interframe buckling may not always be the dominant collapse mode, especially for lightweight stiffened panels such as are found in naval ships and aluminium high speed craft. In these cases overall failure modes, where the buckling mode extends over several frame spaces, may dominate the buckling and collapse response. To account for this possibility, an adaptation to large deflection orthotropic plate theory is presented. The adapted orthotropic method is able to calculate panel stress–strain response curves accounting for both interframe and overall collapse. The method is validated with equivalent nonlinear finite element analyses for a range of regular stiffened panel geometries. It is shown how the adapted orthotropic method is implemented into an extended progressive collapse method, which enhances the capability for determining the ultimate strength of a lightweight stiffened box girder

Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe 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"
No full textBoth 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
No full textThe 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
