Barbara Jacobsen, Saving the legacy: an oral history of Utah\u27s World War II veterans, ACCN 2070, American West Center, University of Utah
No full textTranscript (37 pages) of an interview by Becky B. Lloyd with Barbara P. Jacobsen, on July 11, 2002. From tape number 465 in the "Saving the Legacy" Oral History ProjectBarbara (b. 1922) begins by telling about her rural childhood in Bennington, Idaho, including her entry into college at Utah State University, in Logan, Utah. Barbara wanted to enlist in 1942, but her father refused to give his permission so she accepted a contract to teach school for one year. She joined the WAVES in August 1943 and trained sailors in firing anti-aircraft guns. Interviewed by Becky Lloyd. 37 pages
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
Afroedura haackei Jacobsen, Kuhn, Jackman & Bauer, 2014, stat. nov.

Onderstall, 1984 <p>(Fig. 5 A)</p> <p> <b>Distribution.</b> Granite outcrops of the southern Lowveld of Mpumalanga province, South Africa (Bauer 2014h) (Figs. 4, 6). TM 49920 from Farm Scrutton 23MT (2230AD) (illustrated by Pienaar 1978 as <i>A. transvaalica</i>) appears similar or identical to <i>A. haackei</i> (Onderstall 1984, Jacobsen 1990) and may represent a translocation.</p> <p> <b>Remarks.</b> This species was described as a subspecies of <i>A. pondolia</i> (Onderstall 1984), but was amended by Jacobsen (1990) to <i>A. multiporis haackei</i>. Our molecular data confirm the relationship of the two taxa, but based on substantial genetic differentiation (Fig. 1) as well as differences in body size and precloacal pore counts (see Table 4), and their allopatric distribution, we here formally elevate <i>A. haackei</i> to specific rank. The species was previously listed in the <i>South African Red Data Book</i> as “Restricted” (Jacobsen 1988a) but is currently considered to be of Least Concern (Bauer 2014h).</p>Published as part of <i>Jacobsen, Niels H.

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

Cisgenesis: an important sub-invention for traditional plant breeding companies
No full textModern plant breeding is highly dependent on new technologies to master future problems. More traits have to be combined, frequently originating from wild species. Traditional breeding is connected with linkage drag problems. The crop plant itself and its crossable species represent the traditional breeders gene pool. GM-breeding is a new way of improving existing varieties. Transgenes originate from non-crossable species and are representing a new gene pool. For release of GM-plants into the environment and onto the market in Europe Directive 2001/18/EC has been developed, primarily based on GM-technology and not on gene source. In society, opposition against GM crops is complicating the implementation of GM crops. In this paper, it is shown that not only transgenes, representing a new gene pool but also cisgenes and intragenes are available, representing the breeders gene pool. Cisgenes are natural genes and intragenes are composed of functional parts of natural genes from the crop plant itself or from crossable species. Cisgenesis is the combined use of only cisgenes with marker-free transformation, mimicking linkage drag free introgression breeding in one step. Therefore, cisgenesis is a new sub-invention in the traditional breeding field and indicates the need for reconsideration of GM Directives. Inventions are frequently containing not only hardware elements, but also software and orgware elements. For cisgenesis it is foreseen that the technical (hardware) and bioinformatic (software) elements will develop smoothly, but that implementation in society is highly dependent on acceptance and regulations (orgware). It could be made in a step by step approach by specific crop-gene derogations from the Directive, followed by adding cisgenesis to annex 1b of Directive 2001/18/EC for exemption. At present GM crops can only be introduced by large companies. An open innovation approach for cisgenesis by public private partnership including traditional SMEs has been discussed. Cisgenesis has been exemplified for resistance breeding of potato to Phytophthtora infestans
