    Gale L. Vandeberg was born in Neillsville, Wisconsin, In 1920. He got his Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Wisconsin in 1943, taught school for two years, and then took a position as assistant county agent in Outagamie County, which he held until 1952. A Franklin Pierce Foundation Grant in 1952 enabled him to spend a year at Cornell getting a master's degree in extension education. He was made Outagamie County agent in 1953, but then was persuaded by Henry Ahlgren to come to the UW and teach in the Department of Agricultural and Extension Education while working for a Ph.D. in Cooperative Extension education. On completion of his degree in 1957 he was appointed associate professor in the National Agricultural Extension Center for Advanced Study, which was located on the Madison campus. Mr. Vandeberg?s career in Extension administration began with his appointment in 1960 as assistant director of Cooperative Extension. He served on the Huitt and Thiede committees to plan for the Extension merger in 1965. In 1966 he was made dean of the Division of Economic and Environmental Development, and after the UW System merger in 1973, he became, in addition, assistant chancellor and director of Cooperative Extension. He resigned the assistant chancellorship in 1980, but remained in the other two positions until his retirement in 1983

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    Composition of leaf and flower essential oil of Myrica gale L.

    Myrica gale L. leaves were collected from two plantations in Poland and flowers from one plantation. Essential oil yield and composition were assessed according to plantation site and leaf development stage. Main components of essential oils were: 1,8-cineole, α-pinene, limonene, selina-3(7)-diene, and (E)-nerolidol. It is proven that senescent leaves are valuable source of essential oil

    Der normalerweise diözisch vorkommende Gagelstrauch Myrica gale L. wird manchmal monözisch angetroffen. Äußerst selten werden auch Zwitterblüten ausgebildet. In einem ehemaligen Moorgebiet Bramsches wurde ein solches Exemplar entdeckt. Dessen Blüten, die in Anzahl, Ausprägung und Anordnung der Blütenorgane eine große Variabilität aufweisen, werden hier beschrieben

    Variations on the Author

    “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

    Get PDF
    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
