    Produtores de pêssegos e nectarinas utilizam mudas cujos porta-enxertos são provenientes de sementes, gerando desuniformidade entre as plantas e nenhum aproveitamento das vantagens trazidas por porta-enxertos clonais, de aspectos genéticos conhecidos. O presente estudo objetivou avaliar o desempenho inicial de nectarineiras Sunraycer de 1-2 anos de idade autoenraizadas e sobre treze porta-enxertos clonais nas condições edafoclimáticas de Piracicaba, SP, durante os anos de 2015 e 2016. No primeiro capítulo dessa dissertação, apresentaram-se os resultados relacionados à ocorrência das fases de florescimento, brotação e colheita, volume de copa, massa de ramos retirada nas podas, massa de fruto, número de frutos e produção por planta, eficiência produtiva, produtividade e diâmetro transversal dos frutos. O intervalo entre o final do florescimento e o fim da colheita foi de 78 dias para a copa de \'Sunraycer\' sobre os porta-enxertos \'G x N.9\' e \'Santa Rosa\' e de 64 dias sobre \'Ishtara\', períodos menores que os relacionados aos demais materiais genéticos. \'Flordaguard\' e \'Ishtara\' induziram maior e menor vigor à copa de \'Sunraycer\', respectivamente, enquanto a maior produção ocorreu sobre o porta-enxerto \'Flordaguard\'. A copa de \'Sunraycer\' é influenciada negativamente pelo porta-enxerto \'Cadaman\' quanto a variáveis de produção. Frutos de maior massa são obtidos em plantas de \'Sunraycer\' autoenraizadas. O tradicional \'Okinawa\' não se destaca como porta-enxerto para \'Sunraycer\'. É possível colher nectarinas \'Sunraycer\' entre 03/10 e 18/10 em Piracicaba, SP, período este de pouca oferta. No segundo capítulo, objetivou-se determinar os teores de macro e micronutrientes (N, P, K, Ca, Mg, S, Fe, Mn, Cu, Zn e B) presentes em folhas de nectarineiras Sunraycer, treze semanas após o florescimento, visando a avaliar, interpretar e determinar o estado nutricional das mesmas, identificando possíveis materiais genéticos mais eficientes em absorver/translocar tais elementos. Observa-se distinta composição nutricional das folhas de \'Sunraycer\' em plantas autoenraizadas e sobre porta-enxertos clonais. \'Ishtara\', \'Tsukuba-3\', \'Barrier\' e \'Flordaguard\' são porta-enxertos eficientes na absorção da maioria dos nutrientes sob nectarineiras Sunraycer. Mais casos de deficiência nutricional são observados em plantas de \'Sunraycer\' sobre o porta-enxerto \'Santa Rosa\', para nitrogênio, potássio, cálcio, enxofre, ferro e zinco.Peach and nectarine producers employ scions grafted in seedling rootstocks, resulting in unevenness between plants and disregarding advantages brought by clonal rootstocks, with known genetic aspects. The present study aimed to evaluate the initial performance of 1-2-year-old Sunraycer nectarine trees on their own roots and grafted on thirteen clonal rootstocks in the edaphoclimatic conditions of Piracicaba city, São Paulo State, Brazil, in the years of 2015 and 2016. Results related to the occurrence of flowering, budding and harvest phases, the canopy volume, pruning fresh weight, fruit mass, number of fruits and production per plant, productive efficiency, yield and fruit transverse diameter are presented in the first chapter of this dissertation. The interval between the end of flowering and the end of the harvest period was 78 days to \'Sunraycer\' grafted onto \'G x N.9\' and \'Santa Rosa\' rootstocks and 64 days to this scion onto \'Ishtara\', shorter periods than those related to other rootstocks. \'Flordaguard\' and \'Ishtara\' induced higher and lower vigor to \'Sunraycer\', respectively, whereas \'Flordaguard\' enabled greater production to \'Sunraycer\'. The \'Sunraycer\' scion is negatively influenced by \'Cadaman\' rootstock in terms of production variables. Heavier fruits are provided by self-rooted plants. The traditional \'Okinawa\' does not stand out as a rootstock for \'Sunraycer\'. It is possible to harvest \'Sunraycer\' nectarines between 03/10 and 18/10 in Piracicaba, SP, which is a period of low supply. In the second chapter, the objective was to determine the foliar levels of macro and micronutrients (N, P, K, Ca, Mg, S, Fe, Mn, Cu, Zn and B) in Sunraycer nectarine trees, thirteen weeks after flowering to evaluate, interpret and determine their nutritional status, identifying some possible more efficient genetic materials in absorbing / translocating such elements. It was verified that clonal rootstocks and self-rooted plants provide a distinct nutritional composition to \'Sunraycer\' leaves. \'Ishtara\', \'Tsukuba-3\', \'Barrier\' and \'Flordaguard\' are efficient rootstocks to the absorption of most of the nutrients under Sunraycer nectarine trees. \'Santa Rosa\' allows more nutritional deficiencies to \'Sunraycer\' plants, as of nitrogen, potassium, calcium, sulfur, iron and zinc

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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

    We 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 PDF
    We 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

    We 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

    Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902

    No full text
    In Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
