A sedimentary depositional and diagenetic model of a Pleistocene/Holocene coastal formation in Alexandria, Mediterranean Sea, Egypt
No full textLate Quaternary deposition along the northwest coastal plain of Egypt was influenced by sea level fluctuations as documented by a succession of Quaternary carbonate ridges (up to eight or nine) running parallel to the present shoreline. This study focuses upon depositional and diagenetic aspects related to the last glacial cycle and aims to the reconstruction of the coastal sedimentary paleo-depositional environments of the “Gabal El-Kor Island”, located along the Mediterranean coast of Egypt near Alexandria. The sedimentary succession cropping out at Gabal El-Kor Island is interpreted as a part of the Pleistocene second coastal ridge, dated at about 100 Ka. This study revealed that during the last interglacial period (Marine Isotopic Stage 5, MIS 5), marine deposits mostly made of bioclastic grains and ooids were formed and their early diagenetic alteration was achieved under marine subaqueous conditions. After marine regression, during glacial periods, a phase of subaerial exposure followed. This was associated with transport and accumulation of the exposed carbonate sands from the shore inland by wind action. In the postglacial, the sea level rose up to its present level and a lagoon formed behind Gabel El-Kor Island. The most relevant diagenetic events took place in three distinct stages: MIS 5, between MIS 4 and MIS 2, and during the early and middle Holocene MIS 1. Salient diagenetic events refer to vadose, meteoric, and marine phreatic environments respectively

Reproductive and productive performance of rabbit does submitted to an oral glucose supplementation
No full textIn order to investigate the effect of different levels of oral glucose supplementation and/or reproductive method on productive
and reproductive performance of New Zealand White (NZW) doe rabbits in the tropic, 36 bucks and 120 doe NZW rabbits were
equally divided among four treatment groups (n59 bucks130 does). The treatments consisted of supplementing drinking
water with 0 (control), 2.5, 5 and 10 g glucose/l, respectively. To study the effect of reproduction method (natural v. artificial),
each group was divided into two sub-groups (naturally mated and artificially inseminated) with the same bucks of the same
treatment group. Glucose supplementation at 5 or 10 g/l of water increased ( P,0.01) litter weight at birth and at weaning,
and litter weight gain during the 4 weeks. However, glucose supplementation at 2.5 or 5.0 g/l water decreased ( P,0.01)
feed consumption from 7 to 14 days after delivery. Glucose supplementation at 2.5 g/l water did not affect productive and
reproductive performance of rabbits. Artificially inseminated does had higher daily litter weight gain between 21 and 28 days
post partum. Artificially inseminated group had better milk conversion during the 1st and 4th week as compared to naturally
mated groups. Compared with the control group, the economic efficiency and performance index of NZW rabbits was
significantly improved by 5 g glucose supplementation under tropic condition
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
