Colour almost-black, with numerous light spots. Ventral side and appendices also coloured. Cuticular big pits regularly scattered all over body, larger on head (as in Fig. 53). Ocelli 8 + 8, H and G clearly smaller. PAO small, narrow elliptical, without constriction, 1.5–2.0 as long as ocellus diameter and 0.6–0.8 as long as inner unguis. Maxillary palp simple, 4 sublobal chaetae present. Labral formula as 2 / 554. Labium with papillae A–E present, papilla Е with 6 guard chaetae (е 7 absent), proximal part of labium with 3 chaetae, basomedian and basolateral fields with 4 and 5 chaetae as usual. Ventral side of head with (4) 5 + 5 postlabial chaetae. Ant. 1 with 2 bms, dorsal and ventral, and 2 ventral sensilla (s), Ant. 2 with 3 bms and 1 distal s, Ant. 3 with 1 bms and 5 distal s, including 1 lateral (= АО), “inner” sensilla of АО clearly broadened. One additional sensillum present on dorsal side of Ant. 3 (Fig. 29). Ant. 4 with numerous poorly differentiated sensilla, subapical organite small, microsensillum present. All terga with dense cover of short, uniform chaetae, macrochaetae not developed. Dorsal axial chaetom as 11–13,9 – 11 / 7–8,7 – 8,7–9. Tergal sensilla shorter and finer than ordinary chaetae. Sensillar formulas 33 / 22224 (s) and 10 / 101 (ms). Arrangement of sensilla and microsensilla as on Fig. 1. On Abd.I–III medial sensilla set well in front of the p-row. Ventral side of Th.III with 1 + 1 strong chaetae (Fig. 32). Unguis normally with a weak tooth in the distal 2 / 3 of the inner edge. Ti. 1–3 with additional proximal chaetae: 22–25, 24 – 27, 25–30 respectively. Tenent chaetae on Ti. 1–3 1–2 – 2, long and clearly clavate, longer than inner unguis (U 3: t.ch. = 0.55–0.70). The long ‘ ventrale Spürhaare’ on Ti. 1–2 (chaeta B 4) and on femora which was mentioned by Dunger (1982), are present as in the majority of other species of the genus. Chaetae x and B 5 on Ti. 3 undifferentiated in the studied males. Ventral tube with 4 + 4 laterodistal and 4 caudal chaetae. Tenaculum with 3 + 3 teeth and one chaeta. Anterior furcal subcoxae with 12–15 chaetae, posterior ones with 7–9. Anterior side of manubrium without chaetae, posterior side with 11–12 + 11–12 chaetae, laterobasal lobes usually with 4 chaetae. Dens rather long with one anterior and 4 posterior chaetae. Mucro clearly set off from dens, narrow and long, with two teeth and more or less clear lateral lamella. Ratio of manubrium: dens: mucro = 4.5–7.5: 2.5–4.0: 1. Each anal lobe with 3 tiny equal setulae. Affinity. A study of the two paratypes of S. tenuis from Mongolia revealed that sensillar formula given in the original description (3,2 / 2,1 (2),1,2,3) is not complete and the species is characterized by the common (for Anurophorinae) number and arrangement of s and ms. The presence of only 1 + 1 ventral chaetae on Th.III and the only additional sensillum on Ant. 3 separate S. tenuis from other species of the group which have a similar number of macro- and microsensilla (S. bisensillata sp. nov. and S. guzeriplica sp. nov.). Distribution. Probably widespread in Inner Asia being recorded from central and southern parts of Mongolia, Buryatia, and Yakutia.Published as part of Potapov, Mikhail, Babenko, Anatoly, Fjellberg, Arne & Greenslade, Penelope, 2009, Taxonomy of the Proisotoma complex.

Variations on the Author
No full text“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
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

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe 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

IV (see Tab. 1 b) and genital plate (complete absence of chaetae in first instars). Head. Buccal cone strongly elongated (Fig. 14). Labrum pointed, with ventral sclerifications ogival as in Figs 14, 15, 18. Labrum chaetotaxy 4 / 2, 4 (Fig. 19). Chaetotaxy of labium as in Fig. 14. Maxilla styliform, mandible thin and tridentate.

Claw with distinct inner tooth (Figs 11–13). Discussion. Because of the presence of tooth on claw and elongate chaetae B 5 and B 4 on tibiotarsi, Endonura lusatica appears to be close to Endonura tetrophtalma (Stach, 1929) and Endonura dentifera Smolis et al. 2007, described from Hungary and Ukraine respectively. Nevertheless, they significantly differ in the following combination of characters: number of chaetae on tubercle D 1 on head (in lusatica 5 chaetae, in dentifera 6 chaetae, in tetrophtalma 3 chaetae), edge of labrum (in lusatica ogival, in dentifera non–ogival, in tetrophtalma unknown), number of chaetae Di on th. II – III (in lusatica and dentifera 3 chaetae, in tetrophtalma 2 chaetae), number of chaetae De on th. III (in lusatica and dentifera 4 chaetae, in tetrophtalma 3 chaetae) and number of chaetae L on abd. IV (in lusatica 7 chaetae, in dentifera 8–9 chaetae, in tetrophtalma 4 chaetae). Variability. The number of chaetae on tubercle L of abd. III is variable, e.g. among studied material from Poland (34 individuals), 10 (29,4 %) specimens have 3 + 3 chaetae, 17 (49 %) spp. 3 + 4 chaetae and 7 (20,6 %) spp. 4 + 4 chaetae. Distribution. The species known to date from Germany, Ukraine (as E. tetrophthalma, Kaprus’ 1998) and Poland (as E. tetrophthalma lusatica, Sławska 2000, 2001). More localities of the species from Poland are herein added (see: Other material). The Polish record of E. tetrophtalma from a alder forest in Kampinoski National Park (Nizina Mazowiecka, Kaczmarek 1973) probably pertains to this species. a) Cephalic chaetotaxy–dorsal side. b) Cephalic chaetotaxy-ventral side. c) Chaetotaxy of antennae. d) Postcephalic chaetotaxy. Ecological remarks. A lowland hydrophilous species, occurs in damp and wet habitats, e.g. alder forests, willow shrubes, bogs and reed communities on a bank of rivers, lakes and hyaline floods. It inhabits wet or submerged litter and soil, mosses, flood debris and rooting wood. First instars were collected in July and September. Remarks. Stach (1929) described Achorutes tetrophtalmus from Hungary (the bank of Balaton Lake). Later, in 1951, he classified the mentioned species to newly established genus Biloba (later placed as synonymous of Neanura) and described a new subspecies Biloba tetrophtalma tatricola from Tatra Mts. (Polish Carpathians). Additionaly, in the same paper, Stach treated the Hungarian species as Biloba tetrophtalma f. principialis. Gisin (1960) elevated the Polish subspecies to the species rank and this taxonomic act was usually accepted by other authors. Later Dunger (1966) described the further subspecies Neanura tetrophtalma lusatica on the basis of two specimens collected in the extreme south–eastern Gemany (Oberlausitz, near German –Polish border). Cassagnau (1979) established the subgenus Endonura and designated Neanura tetrophtalma as its type species. A detailed analysis of original descriptions, type and new material (types of E. tetrophtalma have been lost, W. M. Weiner pers. comm.) showed that E. tetrophtalma, E. lusatica and E. tatricola are a good and distinct species clearly differing in many important taxonomic characters (see: Discussions of E. lusatica and E. tatricola). At the same time it turned out that all mentioned taxa needed a comment and modern redescription to establish and explain their identity. In my opinion, however, the redescription of E. tetrophtalma is presently impossible and should be prepared by a study of a new material from the type locality. According to the original description and figures (Dunger 1966), macrochaetae of E. lusatica are densely covered by large oval scale–like structures. However, a study of available material (types have been checked) did not confirm the presence of such structures. In adition, the type material of the species is generally in a bad condition and the present redescription and figures are therefore based mainly on a new material.Published as part of Smolis, Adrian, 2008, Redescription of four Polish Endonura Cassagnau, 1979 (Collembola, Neanuridae, Neanurinae), with a nomenclature of the ventral chaetae of antennae, pp. 9-36 in Zootaxa 1858 on pages 12-17, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.18360

Self-similar regimes in Unstably Stratified Homogeneous Turbulence
No full textUnstably stratified homogeneous turbulence develops at late time a self-similar dynamics characterized by an exponential growth of turbulent quantities. It is believed from recent theoretical studies that different growth rates are possible, depending on the initial distribution of energy at large scales. In order to confirm these predictions, we run both highly resolved direct numerical simulations and a spectral model based on an eddy-damped quasi-normal closure. In addition to confirming the influence of initial conditions, our study sheds light on the anisotropic structures of the self-similar regimes
