Rotterdam Binnenrotte kerkhof Laurenskerk. Archeologisch onderzoek van het kerkhof en bebouwing aan de oostzijde van de Laurenskerk.
No full textDe bodemingrepen voor de herinrichting van de Binnenrotte, en dan voornamelijk de aanleg van de zogenaamde Laurenstuin aan de oostzijde van de Laurenskerk, bood de mogelijkheid om over een oppervlakte van circa 1300 m2 onderzoek te doen naar het voormalige kerkhof. aan de oostzijde van de kerk. Tussen 4 en 15 april 2016 vond het archeologisch onderzoek plaats op het voormalige kerkhof. Het onderzoek richtte zich niet alleen op de graven; ook zijn de funderingen van gebouwen gedocumenteerd die vanaf de 17e eeuw tegen de kerk zijn gebouwd. Door middel van grondboringen is tevens aandacht besteed aan de opbouw van de bodem rondom de oostzijde van de kerk. Hierbij is een zo ontdekte ophogingslaag van een terp uit de prestedelijke nederzetting Rotta op botanische macroresten onderzocht
Identification of a Ruminococcaceae Species as the Methyl tert-Butyl Ether (MTBE) Degrading Bacterium in a Methanogenic Consortium
No full textThe widespread use of methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) has caused major contamination of groundwater sources and is a concern due to its taste and odor problems, as well as toxicity. MTBE can be degraded anaerobically which makes bioremediation of contaminated aquifers a potential solution. Nevertheless, the organisms and mechanisms that are responsible for anaerobic MTBE degradation are still unknown. The aim of our research was to identify the organisms actively degrading MTBE. For this purpose we characterized an anaerobic methanogenic culture enriched with MTBE as the sole carbon source from the New Jersey Arthur Kill intertidal strait sediment. The cultures were analyzed using stable isotope probing (SIP) combined with terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP), high-throughput sequencing and clone library analysis of bacterial 16S rRNA genes. The sequence data indicated that phylotypes belonging to the Ruminococcaceae in the Firmicutes were predominant in the methanogenic cultures. SIP experiments also showed sequential incorporation of the 13C labeled MTBE by the bacterial community with a bacterium most closely related to Saccharofermentans acetigenes identified as the bacterium active in O-demethylation of MTBE. Identification of the microorganisms responsible for the activity will help us better understand anaerobic MTBE degradation processes in the field and determine biomarkers for monitoring natural attenuation.Peer reviewe
Variations on the Author
No full text“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
Archeologisch onderzoek op het historische kerkhof van de O.-L.-V. van Goede Hoop-kerk te Vilvoorde (prov. Vlaams-Brabant)
No full textDit eindverslag beschrijft de resultaten van de archeologische opgraving van twee toevalvondsten ter
hoogte van het Heldenplein, rondom de O.-L.-V. van Goede Hoop te Vilvoorde. De site is grotendeels
binnen het historische kerkhof gelegen, dat met behulp van een combinatie aan dateringsmethoden
tussen de 11de tot 19de eeuw gedateerd kan worden. Zo goed als alle sporen zijn met het funeraire
karakter van de site te linken
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

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
