Assessment of the Finlay Journal Scientific Production According to the Web of Science
No full textFoundation: bibliometry allows to analize the scientific production of a country, institution or particular author. The best journals worldwide do bibliometric studies to determine if they are competitive with their pairs in a thematic knowledge area. Objective: to evaluate the scientific production of the Finlay Journal in the period 2015-2017. Method: a bibliometric study was realized in which he production analyzed is done during the years 2015 to 2017, the information was extracted up to January 7th 2018, data base from the Web of Science was used. The 144 articles examined were imported to a data base elaborated, with this purpose, using Excel Microsoft. The variables considered were: year of the publication, author’s production, institutions, countries, topics, languages, average quotes per publication and number of authors per article. In addition indicators h, g and e were used. The results were presented in tables in order to be able to evaluate the scientific production of the journal. Results: topics related with internal medicine predominated, the most productive author was Miguel Serra Valdés, also the most prolific institution was the Gustavo Aldereguía Lima University Hospital, Cuba is the country with the highest contribution of articles. Conclusion: the Finlay Journal has progressively been consolidating its quality and impact in the competitive environment within the Web of Science

Protoconch variable among species, ranging from strongly angular with larger first whorl to cylindrical or evenly conical, consisting of 1⅓ to 2¾ whorls. Suture adpressed onto or slightly below anterior carina of prior whorl. Spiral sculpture generally dominant. Outer lip often furrowed beneath peripheral keel and prominent cords. Inner lip smooth, with outer surface of previous whorl resorbed prior to deposition of thin glaze. Shell color usually white. Pigmentation, when present, brown to tan, generally confined to regions between adjacent spines or tubercles. Rachidian teeth of radula with 3 cusps along U-shaped basal plate with broad, lateral expansions (e.g. Harasewych 1986: pl. 3, figs. 1–6).</p> <p> <b>Remarks.</b> As is evident from the complex synonymy, the authorship, date, and type species of <i>Coluzea</i> have been variously interpreted in the literature due to the appearance of the name <i>Coluzea</i> in species lists included in a paper by Allan [1926 (7 December)] that, despite specific instructions to the contrary, was published prior to the to the intended introduction of the genus by Finlay [1926 (23 December)]. Beu <i>et al</i>. (1969) clearly and succinctly summarized the complex history of <i>Coluzea</i> and other genus level taxa that appeared in both these publications, and requested rulings on these works by the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature. There has not been a ruling on this matter by the Commission.</p> <p> As Allan’s paper clearly states “issued separately 7th December, 1926” this must be considered the date of publication of <i>Coluzea</i> [Article 21.5 (ICZN, 1999: 22)].</p> <p> The name <i>Coluzea</i> had been introduced into Allan’s paper by Finlay, who changed the nomenclature at the proof stage (Beu <i>et al</i>. 1969: 44). In a footnote to a list of taxa that includes <i>Coluzea</i>, Allan (1926: 291) acknowledged “For this and many other name changes and generic placings in this list, refer to Finlay … <i>antea</i> this volume.” Thus, the authorship of <i>Coluzea</i> is Finlay <i>in</i> Allan, 1926 [Article 50.1.1 (ICZN, 1999: 52)].</p> <p> Two species were included in <i>Coluzea</i> in separate lists in Allan’s publication: <i>Coluzea climacota</i> (Suter, 1917) (Allan 1926: 291) and <i>Coluzea dentata</i> (Hutton, 1877) (Allan 1926: 304). In an effort to resolve the nomenclatural confusion, Finlay (1930a: 249) reported <i>Fusus dentatus</i> to be “the monotype of the genus” <i>Coluzea</i>. This fixed <i>Fusus dentatus</i> as the type species of <i>Coluzea</i> by subsequent designation of Finlay (1930a) [Article 69.1.1 (ICZN, 1999: 72)].</p> <p> The genus <i>Coluzea</i> has an extensive fossil record in New Zealand, ranging from the Early Eocene [Mangaorapan (Ypresian)] to the Recent (Beu <i>et al.</i> 1990: 39). Middle to Upper Eocene records are known from the Paris Basin and southern England (Darragh 1969). In the Recent fauna, the genus ranges from southern Africa (Darragh 1969; Harasewych, 2004) to the eastern Indian Ocean (Harasewych 1986), eastern Australia (Darragh 1987), New Caledonia (Harasewych 1991) and New Zealand (Powell 1971).</p> <p> Although <i>Coluzea</i> is readily distinguished from <i>Columbarium</i> on the basis of several conchological and anatomical characters (e.g., protoconch morphology, strength of anterior carina, shape of the basal plate of the rachidian), it is far more similar to <i>Fulgurofusus</i> Grabau, 1904, a genus with a broader geological (Paleocene to Recent), geographical (western Atlantic, eastern and western Pacific) and bathymetric (bathyal to abyssal) ranges. Several authors (Finlay 1930b: 267–268; Darragh 1969: 99; Harasewych 1983b: 5; 1986: 158; 1991: 245) have noted the similarities between these taxa, yet retained them as separate genera based primarily on minor differences in protoconch morphology and the absence of a columellar lamina in <i>Fulgurofusus</i>.</p>Published as part of <i>Harasewych, M. G., 2011, The Living Columbariinae (Gastropoda: Neogastropoda: Turbinellidae) of New Zealand, pp. 1-33 in Zootaxa 2744 (1)</i> on pages 7-8, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.2744.1.1, <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/5291694">http://zenodo.org/record/5291694</a>

"Coloured hills" - a series of text based paintings and related work
No full textThis is an on-going series of paintings that look at how the Gaelic language has explored colour in landscape. Many hills in Scotland contain the Gaelic word for a particular colour in their name. These text paintings highlight the differences between mountains through a colour classification.
Additionally, a printed text work "A Glossary of Coloured Hills" acts as a companion piece to these paintings.
The print work (where I am the main author - I am the sole author of the paintings) was aided through conversation with poet and artist Alec Finlay as we sought to originate more nuanced, lyrical translations than those offered by the official Scot's/Gaelic dictionary
Ozonation as an alternative to chlorination for soft wheat flours
No full textHigh ratio cakes made from ozonated flour attained volumes and other quality characteristics comparable to those from chlorinated flours at 36 min ozonation time. Ozone thus appears to be a viable and more environmentally acceptable alternative to chlorine. Extraction of lipids from flour caused deterioration of cake quality which was not restored by ozonation indicating that lipids were involved in the improving effects of ozonation. Oxidation by ozone led to higher molecular weights of polymeric proteins
