The Tortoise and the Jackrabbit/La Tortuga y la Liebre
No full textNorthland Publishing published this book -- mine is in hardbound form -- in 1994. Apparently they also copyrighted a Spanish translation in 2004. Might that have been a hardbound edition? The present paperback was produced in China in April of 2011. I suspected that Rising Moon is a bilingual division of Northland Publishing; both are in Flagstaff, AZ. A little checking suggests that they are both parts of Cooper Square Publishing. Let me include comments from that English edition. This beautiful sideways-book does the traditional story wonderfully with a Southwestern flair. The animals are given character and attitude. Among the best illustrations is that reproduced as the cover. The tortoise has a wonderfully laconic way about her with her dowdy umbrella and older woman's hat. Her first simple reaction is Let's race. She soon follows it up with Prove it. Harris brings a wonderful collection of critters to the starting-line. The mayor does some politicking both there and at the finish. The tortoise is given a winner's bouquet of flowers--and then she eats it! A great find.Language note: Bilingual: English/SpanishOriginal language: engSusan Lowel

Effects of organic matter additions on the soil microbial population and associated stoichiometry in horticultural systems.
Get PDFHarris, Jim A. - Associate SupervisorOrganic matter addition influences soil function (respiration/ decomposition) and
community structure (PLFA/ NLFA community profiles) which result in changes
to the provision of soil derived ecosystem services. Additions of organic matter to
gardens (e.g. composts, mulches, soil conditioners) is a widespread practice both
globally and in the UK. Research on the long-term cumulative impact of annual
additions to UK gardens is limited. A field trial, set-up in 2007, at the Royal
Horticultural Society’s Wisley Gardens site, was used to examine the changes to
soil chemical, physical and biological soil quality indicators following 12 years of
different soil organic matter additions. Additions varied in carbon-to-nitrogen
ratios (C/N), physical structure and macro/ micro-nutrient profiles. The
amendments used in the trial included composted bark, bracken, stable manure,
garden compost, spent mushroom growing compost, peat, fertiliser (rate adjusted
each year to meet plant growth requirements) and controls; no organic matter
addition and no plant sown, no organic matter addition and plant sown. Lab
studies were designed following analyses of amendment legacy effects in field
trial plots to further examine the effects of addition on microbiological indicators
of soil function, health and quality. Reviewing long term chemical and physical
data from the field trial highlighted significant effects of organic matter additions
on soil micro- and macro-nutrients. Recommendations for garden industry were
made from the findings and include the need for labelling standards for compost
material packaging to reduce unwanted environmental impacts of use. Organic
matter treatment to clay-loam textured soil significantly increased microbial
respiration and shifted microbial community structure. The effects were distinct
and dependent on composition of the organic matter applied. The horticultural
sector has outlined targets for reducing the impact of garden practise on drivers
of climate change. This study aligns with literature which seeks to understand
common practise in order to improve economic and environmental sustainability.PhD in Environment and Agrifoo
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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 PDFWe 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
