    Photograph of multiple people aboard the R/V (Research Vessel) Urraca, including Jose Espino and Helena Fortunato, a scientist at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute (STRI). The R/V Urraca was a scientific research vessel owned by the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute (STRI). Dr. John C. Ogden and Nancy B. Ogden did a survey study of the coral reefs of the Cayos Cochinos from April-May of 1995 while aboard the R/V Urraca.https://digitalcommons.usf.edu/ogden12_images/1113/thumbnail.jp

    49. * Mimosa tobatiensis Barneby & Fortunato Known to Barneby (1991) from only two collections from nearby localities ca. 25° S in Paraguay, but several collections from Nuflo de Chávez, 10 km W of Quimome, Chiquitos, Santa Cruz (F. Mamami & Saucedo 676 K!, J. R. I. Wood et al. 25770 K!, F. Mamani & Jardim 393 K! (this last collection previously mis-identified as the closely related M. adenocarpa Benth.) and J. R. I. Wood et al. 27759, K) are a good match for Barneby’s description. See also M. orthocarpa.Published as part of Margoth Atahuachi, M. Leontien Van Der Bent, John R. I. Wood, Gwilym P. Lewis & Colin E.

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    No full text
    We 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

    "Closing the R&D Gap, Evaluating the Sources of R&D Spending"

    No full text
    Both spending and tax policies have been implemented in the United States with the goal of stimulating private sector research and development (R&D). Karier questions whether current R&D policy, especially the research and experimentation tax credit, can contribute to closing the gap between nondefense expenditures on R&D in the United States and such expenditures in other countries, such as Japan and Germany. He also explores possible changes to our current R&D policy to make it more effective.

    Cost Structure of the Portuguese Water Industry: a Cubic Cost Function Application

    No full text
    The main scope of this paper is to confirm, or otherwise, the idea usually presented in national reports and strategic programmes for the water sector that the Portuguese water market is a natural monopoly. Based on a multi-product approach (considering the m3 of potable water delivered and wastewater collected as the outputs) we use a cubic functional specification to estimate water utilities cost function, and then to look for the presence of economies of scale and of scope. The estimated results show that the average production scale is below the estimated minimum efficient scale and that large utilities have moderate overall diseconomies of scale and scope. In addition, there are moderate economies of scope from the joint production of potable water and wastewater collection up to the minimum efficient scale, suggesting advantages in merging small and medium sized contiguous water utilities. Sufficient conditions for subadditivity of costs are not verified throughout the range of outputs, allowing us to conclude that the Portuguese water industry is not a natural monopoly for all output vectors.cubic function, multi-product cost function, water utilities, regulatory policy
