Calcification processes in the chick otoconia and calcium binding proteins: patterns of tetracycline incorporation and calbindin-D28k distribution
No full textIn order to clarify the otoconia formation and turnover, tetracycline, an antibiotic that precipitates at calcifying fronts and serves as a fluorescent marker, was injected into eggs at different stages of chick embryonic development, as well as into postnatal chicken and into adult animals. The changes in the intensity, location patterns and time course of fluorescent labelling in each examined stage in the otolithic organs was studied. The presence and distribution of calbindin (CB)-D28K, one of the calcium-binding proteins constantly found in the mammalian and chicken cochlea and also in otolithic membrane of some adult mammals, was studied. Results in embryonal stages, postnatal and adult animals allow us to postulate that otoliths are mainly produced during the embryonal phase, but they may also be produced throughout the whole life span. Results also indicate that otoconia are dynamic structures which undergo turnover. The correspondence between the patterns of CB-D28K immunoreactivity and tetracycline fluorescence may indicate that CB-D28K participates in the formation of otoconia
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
