    Report to Chief J. E. Curry by A. M. Eberhardt concerning the duties of Reserve Officer Harold B. Holly on November 24, 1963. Eberhardt states that while at his assignment at Parkland Hospital, Holly described talking to another Reserve Officer who told him that he saw a press identification card on the jacket of Jack Ruby and let him into the basement

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    No full text
    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

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    We 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

    Mechanosensitive Transcription Factors Involved in Endothelin B Receptor Expression

    Growing evidence suggests an involvement of the endothelin B receptor (ETB-R) in blood pressure-dependent arterial remodeling. To study the molecular mechanisms leading to deformation-induced ETB-R expression, we have cultured rat aortic smooth muscle cells on flexible elastomers and, when grown to 70% confluence, periodically stretched them for 6 h (15% elongation, 0.5 Hz). The cells responded with an increase both in ETB-R mRNA (12-fold compared with control) and protein (4-fold). According to nuclear run-on analysis this increase in ETB-R expression occurred at the level of transcription. Among various kinase pathways, Rho kinase (ROCK) and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38 MAPK) mediated part of the deformation-induced increase in ETB-R expression, as judged by the inhibitory effect of Y27632 (1 mum, 38% inhibition) and SB202190 (10 mum, 44% inhibition), respectively. Gel shift assaying of the three transcription factors principally activated by these kinases revealed a transient deformation-induced activation of activator protein-1 (AP-1) and CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein (C/EBP), but not activating transcription factor, that was sensitive to both Y27632 and SB212190. The potential role of AP-1 and C/EBP in deformation-induced ETB-R expression was verified both by using decoy oligodeoxynucleotides mimicking the DNA-binding sites of these transcription factors and a nuclear run-on-based assay employing specific antibodies directed against AP-1 and C/EBP. Both techniques unequivocally demonstrated that activation of these transcription factors, namely that of C/EBP beta, contribute to the increase of ETB-R gene expression in response to cyclic stretch

    Pragmatic Case Studies as a Source of Unity in Applied Psychology

    No full text
    To unify or not to unify applied psychology: that is the question. In this article we review pendulum swings in the historical efforts to answer this question—from a comprehensive, positivist, “top-down,” deductive yes between the 1930s and the early 60s, to a postmodern no since then. A rationale and proposal for a limited, “bottom-up,” inductive yes in applied psychology is then presented, employing a case-based paradigm that integrates both positivist and postmodern themes and components. This paradigm is labeled “pragmatic psychology” and, its specific use of case studies, the “Pragmatic Case Study Method” (“PCS Method”). We call for the creation of peer-reviewed journal-databases of pragmatic case studies as a foundational source of unifying applied knowledge in our discipline. As one example, the potential of the PCS Method for unifying different angles of theoretical regard is illustrated in an area of applied psychology, psychotherapy, via the case of Mrs. B. The article then turns to the broader historical and epistemological arguments for the unifying nature of the PCS Method in both applied and basic psychology.Peer reviewe

    Molecular analysis for the description of Inocybe woglindeana

    No full text
    The data collection includes the raw data and analysis results generated in the context of the description of Inocybe woglindeana sp. nov. A phylogenetic analysis was made to show its closest known relatives based on ITS and LSU data. Mitochondrial mitSSU data was used to separate I. woglindeana from its sister taxon I. variispora. The study was published open access as Bandini D, Vauras J, Weholt O, Oertel B, Eberhardt U 2020, Inocybe woglindeana, a new species of the genus Inocybe, thriving in exposed habitats with calcereous sandy soil.
