Additional file 1 of Transcriptome analysis of aphid-resistant and susceptible near isogenic lines reveals candidate resistance genes in cowpea (Vigna unguiculata)
No full textAdditional file 1: Figure S1. Damage induced by cowpea aphids after 7-days feeding on susceptible cowpea results in chlorosis and necrosis near feeding sites and leaf curling. Photos depict week-old plants infested with 15 adult apterous aphids. Figure S2. Growth of cowpea aphid population on susceptible (CB46) and resistant (CB77) cowpea. Two-week-old plants were infested with 20 adult apterous aphids on a single unifoliate leaf and enclosed in a mesh sleeve bag for 1 week. The aphid population was counted daily. Data from MacWilliams et al. 2022. Figure S3. Gene ontology (GO) analyses indicated numerous processes enriched in resistant and susceptible plants over time (day 6 vs day 1) that may play a role in constitutive resistance. Grey shading indicates processes uniquely expressed within each genotype. Figure S4. Gene ontology (GO) analyses indicated numerous processes are enriched when cowpea aphids feed on susceptible plants, with more processes upregulated than downregulated after correcting for leaf development. Resistant plants show enrichment in only 20% (6/30) of the total pathways enriched in susceptible plants when aphids feed. Figure S5. MDS plots for RNAseq show separation of time points. Overall, each treatment clusters together with the largest separation explained by time. Figure S6. qRT-PCR validation of select genes differentially expressed in RNAseq data relative to susceptible (CB46) uninfested plants. Genes consistently upregulated across time in resistant cowpea (CB77; A:RGA4-600, B:RGA4-700) and genes differentially expressed among treatments (C:CHiB, D:STE11) showed expression trends in concordance with RNAseq data (*) relative to susceptible control tissues at the collection time point. Primers for select genes are listed (E) and the fit of all expression data to count data showed high correlation (F: R2=0.79)
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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe 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

koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
