No full textCaryanda jiuyishana Fu & Zheng, 2000 [Figs. 1–14] Caryanda jiuyishana Fu & Zheng, 2000: 91. Caryanda zhengi Fu & Sun, 2002: 106, new synonym. Male. Body length: 16 mm – 19 mm; pronotum length: 3.4–3.7 mm; tegmina length: 2.8–3.3 mm; hind femur length: 11.2–11.5 mm. Body small. Face oblique in profile view, both sides and anterior margin distinctly carinate. Frontal ridge with broad longitudinal sulcus throughout. Antennae filiform, twenty-three-segmented, long and distinctly exceeding posterior margin of pronotum, nearly reaching posterior margin of the third abdominal segment. Vertex broad, dorsum distinctly depressed to form two short carinae just close to the inner sides of eyes, anterior margin broadly rounded, interocular distance nearly equal to that of frontal ridge between antennal socket. Eyes elongate oval, longitudinal diameter about one and a two-third times as long as horizontal diameter and two and a half times as the length of subocular furrow. Occiput with a feeble or distinct longitudinal median carina. Pronotum cylindrical; median carina feeble or distinct and lateral carinae absent; anterior margin smooth and slightly rounded or slightly concave in the middle; posterior margin angulately concave in the middle; three transversal sulci distinct, crossing the median carina; prozona two and a one-fifth times as long as metazona; lateral lobes with anteroventral corner broadly rounded and posteroventral corner nearly rectangular. Prosternal spine conical, slightly compressed anteroposteriorly, apex obtusely rounded or pointed (at least so in holotype). Interspace of mesosternal lobes nearly square, with its length one and a two-fifth times as its minimum width, metasternal lobes contiguous with each other posteriorly. Tegmina scale-like, narrow and long, situated laterally, with its length about three and a half times as width and apices narrowly rounded or pointed in some individuals, nearly or just reaching or slightly exceeding posterior margin of the first abdominal tergite. Hind femora slender, well-proportioned, with upper carinae smooth, extending apically to form a short spine or obtuse tooth, subgenicular lobes spined. Hind tibiae with outer apical spines very small and substantially close to lower spurs. Tympanum large, aperture oval. Furcula present and small. Supra-anal plate broader than long, shield-like, broadly and shallowly depressed longitudinally in the middle of its basal half or throughout in some individuals; basal sides with a large depression, respectively. Cerci conical, straight and sharply pointed apically, slightly exceeding the apex of anal plate. Subgenital plate short and conical, obtusely rounded apically. Frons, lateral lobes of pronotum below the subocular band yellow. Antennae with one or two apical segment(s) pale in fresh specimens, basal third bluish green and the remainder black, or reddish brown throughout in some individuals. Occiput dark bluish green, with narrow yellow borders. Pronotal and abdominal dorsum bluish green to brownish green. Eyes brown, postocular band broad and black, extending nearly to the abdominal apex. Abdomen with continuous or not continuous narrow black band beside the dorsal central keel, or only black spots, or without above-mentioned characters in some individuals, ventral surface yellowish brown. Tegmina brown to black. Legs green. Hind tibiae bluish green except the base as well as apex of hind femora black. Metatibial spines with apical half black and basal half yellowish brown. Cerci black or brown. Female. Body length: 21.3–26 mm; pronotum length: 4.7–5.9 mm; tegmina length: 3–4.3 mm; hind femur length: 12.5–15.8 mm. Similar to male. Body larger and slightly more robust than male. Vertex transversely broad. Occiput without longitudinal central carina. Interocular distance about one and a half times the width of frontal ridge between antennal socket. Antennae shorter, just reaching posterior margin of pronotum. Metasternal lobes separate posteriorly. Tegmina not reaching or slightly exceeding posterior margin of the first abdominal tergite. Furcula absent. Cerci short conical, straight, apex pointed, not reaching the top of anal plate. Supra-anal plate nearly rhombic, with a large depression and a transverse furrow in the middle portion. Dorsal and ventral valves with blunt teeth along outer margin. Subgenital plate nearly square, broadly and deeply depressed in the posterior half or throughout, posterior margin straight and smooth, with a small tooth at each side; but in some individuals, the posterior margin slightly rounded and sinuate or without distinct teeth. Body color similar to male, but occiput, pronotum and abdominal dorsum reddish brown in some individuals. Materials examined. Male, holotype, CHINA: Jiuyishan Natural Reserve, Huangshi Town, Jianghua County Hunan Province, 25 ° 12 ' N, 111 ° 34 ' E, 900m, 15 September 1998, Zhijun Li (figs. 1–2). Female, holotype of Caryanda zhengi Fu & Sun, CHINA: Jiuyishan Natural Reserve, Ziliang Town, Lanshan county, Hunan Province, 25 ° 21 ' N, 112 ° 10 ' E, 1100 m, 22 August 2000, Peng Fu (figs. 3–4). Twelve males and three females, CHINA: Jiuyishan Natural Reserve, Ningyuan County, Hunan Province, 25 ° 12 ' N, 111 ° 34 ' E, 1000—1400 m, 27 September 2004, Jianhua Huang. Three males and five females, CHINA: Qianjiadong, Jiangyong County, Hunan Province, 800 m, 18 September 2004, Jianhua Huang. Six males and six females, CHINA: Yuankou Nature Reserve, Jiangyong County, Hunan Province, 24 º 58 ' 13 " N, 111 º 06' 27 " E, 800— 1000 m, 23 September 2004, Jianhua Huang. Distribution. CHINA (Hunan). Remark. This species shows normal variation. There are two male individuals besides the holotype having antennae with apical two-third black (figs. 1 –2, 9– 10), and others having antennae reddish brown throughout (figs. 3 –8, 11– 14). However, we can not find any more distinguishing difference between them. We also found a female with its hind tibiae black at the apical half and yellowish green at the basal half (figs. 13–14), but again no further difference has been found between this specimen and others. As for the holotype male, Fu & Zheng (2000) originally described a distinguishing character as “hind tibiae with a broad black annulation near the middle portion” (fig. 2), but this is certainly not a stable character because this “black annulation” occurs only on the left hind tibia and the right hind tibia is bluish green throughout. Therefore, before further evidence is found, we at present prefer to consider the differences in antennae and hind tibiae color as morphological variations among individuals but not as distinguishing characters which might be used to recognize a new species by someone else. In our opinion, too many Caryanda species have been described from China, only based on a few minor differences which possibly be variations among individuals of the same species. We should not be surprised if more Chinese Caryanda species were synonymized after a morphological or even molecular comprehensive revision of the genus.Published as part of Huang, Jianhua, Fu, Peng & Huang, Yuan, 2007, Redescription of Caryanda jiuyishana Fu & Zheng, 2000 (Orthoptera: Acrididae: Oxyinae: Oxyini) with proposal of a new synomym, pp. 55-60 in Zootaxa 1436 on pages 55-58, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.17588
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

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe 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
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
