The use of inbreeding to assess the genetic component of condition underlying GEIs in sexual traits
No full textThis chapter discusses the use and potential of inbreeding as a means to study genotype by environment interactions (GEIs). Fundamental to studying sexual trait GEIs is its ability to define, measure, and manipulate both the environmental and genetic states of individuals. It first reviews how inbreeding can be used to study the GEIs of sexual traits. The chapter then considers relevant empirical work that has used inbreeding to determine the extent to which sexual traits suffer from genetic stress, and ask whether evidence from inbreeding studies supports the hypothesis that the degree of genetic condition dependence is more marked in sexual traits. Finally, it relates these findings to the potential for using inbreeding to evaluate GEIs in sexual traits. The chapter reviews points to the need to take account of environmental variation when assessing genetic variation
Uso de metodologia ágil em uma empresa de meio de pagamento pós-pago: estudo de caso na empresa Koin
No full textTCC (graduação) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina. Campus Araranguá. Curso de Tecnologias da Informação e Comunicação.Devido a grande competitividade entre as organiza¸c˜oes a busca por entregar produtos com qualidade e na velocidade que o mercado atualmente exige, faz com que muitas empresas adotem m´etodos que dizem suprir estas necessidades. Os m´etodos ´ageis prometem atender tais requisitos valorizando as pessoas e as intera¸c˜oes entre elas, ao inv´es de focar nos processos e nas ferramentas como as metodologias cl´assicas. E por estes motivos, a empresa Koin resolveu adotar no seu processo de desenvolvimento o Scrum, com o intuito de melhorar a produtividade e a qualidade dos seus produtos. Esta monografia tem como objetivo documentar e analisar os impactos ocasionados pela implanta¸c˜ao de princ´ıpios ´ageis, nos processos e nas pessoas envolvidas acerca dos fatores que influenciam positivamente ou negativamente na implantação.Due to the high competitiveness between organizations Search by delivering quality products and the speed that the market currently demands, causes many companies to adopt methods they say meet these needs. Agile methods promise meet such requirements valuing people and the interactions between them, rather than focusing on the processes and tools such as classical methodologies. And for these reasons, the company decided Koin adopt in its development process Scrum, in order to improve productivity and quality of their products. This monograph focuses on documenting and analyzing the impacts caused by the deployment of agile principles, processes and the people involved about the factors that influence positively or negatively on the implementation
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
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
Expanding “Communities and Collections” in the K-State Research Exchange (K-REx) to benefit the K-State Community and Beyond
No full textKansas State University has used its institutional repository, the K-State Research Exchange (K-REx), to store and share its first year experience program, K-State First, and notably its common reading program, K-State First Book. We have done so with the aim that the accessibility and preservation of these documents ensures program stability, promotes engagement with first year programming, and provides the ability to foster growth,educational opportunities, and community building outside of K-State. Moving away from research concentrated repositories and taking a more holistic approach to scholarship, especially when realizing the pedagogical significance of collaborative campus programming, institutions can showcase, discover, preserve, and grow programs that shape campus communities and engagement.
This session will provide an overview of K-REx and spotlight the digital archive of the university’s first year experience program and common reading program, K-State First Book. We will discuss the benefits and challenges to expanding the purview of your repositories. We talkthrough the types of materials we decide to host in our repository and why we share what we do. We will also provide recommendations on new ways to evaluate what belongs in institutional repositories and how this diversity can benefit your program, your institution, the community, and others
