Father Andrew Mullen 1790-1818: a study in early nineteenth century spirituality
No full textThis thesis is laid out in three parts: Part I. The life and death of Andrew Mullen. The life is based, to a large extent, on a long letter to his mother, Catherine Mullen, dated 7 January 1810. The letter gives a definite insight into his spirituality based on his membership of the Archconfraternity of the Blessed Sacrament. There is a hint that he had a premonition of an early death. Part II. The burial of Andrew Mullen and the immediate cult to him This is based on documentary evidence. Part III. Most of this part is a catalogue of testimonies taken from 1993 onwards. Then there is the conclusion on the popular devotion to Andrew Mullen stressing the theological aspect of the subject. In the course of writing the thesis it was decided to separate the documentary evidence from the oral tradition. This was advantageous in developing the thesis, and the documents provided a secure basis for the oral tradition. Two pieces of information were found in March 1997. They are death notices: 2 January 1819, The Leinster Journal and 7 January 1819, The Car low Morning Post. There is a slight discrepancy between the two on the date of his death. Also this discrepancy shows a slight difference from the date of the tombstone

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe 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
Ledebouria caesiomontana A.J.Hankey & N.Hahn (Hyacinthaceae: Hyacinthoideae) : a new species from the Blouberg centre of endemism, Limpopo, South Africa
No full textCITATION: Hankey, A. J., Hahn, N. & Buys, M. H. 2014. Ledebouria caesiomontana A.J.Hankey & N.Hahn (Hyacinthaceae: Hyacinthoideae) : a new species from the Blouberg centre of endemism, Limpopo, South Africa. Bothalia - African Biodiversity and Conservation, 44(1), Art. #119, doi: 10.4102/abc.v44i1.119.The original publication is available at http://abcjournal.orgBackground: Ledebouria Roth (Hyacinthaceae: Hyacinthoideae) is a largely African genus with,
more or less, 40 species occurring in South Africa. The species was first collected in December
1990 by R. Archer [Archer, R.H. 503 (PRE)] and remained un-identified. Subsequently, N. Hahn
also collected the species in 1992 [N. Hahn 444 (ZPB)] and, upon failing to resolve the identity
of the specimen, he approached A. Hankey who initiated further collaborative research.
Objective: To describe the new species of Ledebouria from Blouberg mountain massif in
Limpopo Province, South Africa.
Method: Relevant existing specimens in herbaria were examined and morphological
characters and states noted. The type specimen was collected during an expedition under the
guidance of Prof. Dirk Bellstedt accompanied by Mr Adam Harrower.
Results: Ledebouria caesiomontana A.J.Hankey & N.Hahn sp. nov. was described and illustrated.
The new species was distinguished from its closest relative, Ledebouria papillata S.Venter, by
the ovary which lacks basal lobes, as well the absence of cataphylls and the irregular papillate
ridges present only on the upper leaf surfaces.
Conclusion: Ledebouria caesiomontana is a new species restricted to the Blouberg mountain
massif in Limpopo Province, South Africa. Initial estimates deem the species to be vulnerable
(VU D2) as a result of especially anthropogenic-induced disturbances on the Blouberg.http://abcjournal.org/index.php/ABC/article/view/119Publisher's versio
