A tribute to the life and accomplishments of Birdwell Finlayson.
No full textPURPOSE: Birdwell Finlayson was a talented researcher and clinician whose pioneering work in the field of urolithiasis led him to worldwide prominence in urology. We researched his life and accomplishments to provide a historical account of his career.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The archives of the Department of Urology and the University of Florida Health Science Center Library were searched for publications, photographs and other records relating to Doctor Finlayson. Additionally, we interviewed many of his friends and colleagues for more information.
RESULTS: Birdwell Finlayson was born in Pocatello Bannock, Idaho. He completed a urology residency and obtained a Ph.D. in biophysics at the University of Chicago. In 1967 he joined the faculty at the University of Florida. His interest in understanding the fundamentals of stone formation led to the discovery that crystal retention at a site of nephron injury was essential for stone formation. This fixed particle hypothesis continues to serve to as the foundation for urolithiasis research today. His computer model EQUIL is the gold standard for calculating urinary supersaturation with respect to kidney stone formation. Finlayson was 1 of the 6 original coinvestigators for shock wave lithotripsy in the United States. He is also remembered for his wit and his love of aeronautics, as he was a flight instructor and stunt pilot. Finlayson died unexpectedly of idiopathic hypertrophic cardiomyopathy on July 22, 1988.
CONCLUSIONS: Birdwell Finlayson was an internationally renowned surgeon and stone disease expert whose research continues to serve as the basis of urolithiasis research at the University of Florida and worldwide

DISTRIBUTION: Australia; SE South Australia and W Victoria (Murray-Darling Basin). COMMENTS: Phylogenetic relationships are equivocal to some (see discussion in Lidicker and Brylski, 1987:635, and references therein), but not to other workers (see preceeding account).Published as part of Guy G.

(2, by subsequent determination): <b>M.4839</b> (formerly SAM M2515), male; <b>M.4840</b> (formerly SAM M2525), female, both study skins and skulls, collected by H. H. Finlayson and F. J.

Although the two AM specimens were sent from SAM three decades before publication of Finlayson’s paper, they evidently form part of the original series of 30 specimens he referred to in his description. Aitken (1976) states that two paratypes were sent to theAM: SAM M.2515, male and SAM M.2525, female, both skins and skulls, with same collection data and locality as the holotype (SAM M.2518) given in the South Australian Museum register. Finlayson cites the registration number of the holotype only, in his account.</p>Published as part of <i>Parnaby, Harry E., Ingleby, Sandy & Divljan, Anja, 2017, Type Specimens of Non-fossil Mammals in the Australian Museum, Sydney, pp. 277-420 in Records of the Australian Museum 69 (5)</i> on page 328, DOI: 10.3853/j.2201-4349.69.2017.1653, <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/5237800">http://zenodo.org/record/5237800</a>

An 11 600 year-old communal structure from the Neolithic of southern Jordan
No full textThe authors present a new type of communal
and monumental structure from the earliest
Neolithic in western Asia. A complement to
the decorated stone pillars erected at G¨obekli
Tepe in the north, ‘Wadi Faynan 16 Structure
O75’ in the southern Levant is a ritualised
gathering place of a different kind. It serves to
define wider western Asia as an arena of social
experiment in the tenth millennium BC, one
in which community seems to take precedence
over economy
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
