Dr. Mohammad Khalil, associate professor of Religious Studies at Michigan State University, leads a discussion of the book, "R\u16bm\u12b, poet and mystic"
No full textDr. Mohammad Khalil, associate professor of Religious Studies at Michigan State University, leads a discussion of the book, "R\u16bm\u12b, poet and mystic" by R\u16bm\u12b (1207-1273), which features the works of the famous Sufi mystic and poet who widely influenced mystical thought and literature throughout the Muslim world. Dr. Khalil presents a brief lecture framing the discussion before the audience breaks into small groups. The small group discussions are not heard. Dr. Khalil reconvenes the large group to discuss the book. Part five of a five part series entitled "Muslim journeys : pathways of faith," exploring the Muslim faith in the United States and throughout the world. MSU Librarian Deborah Margolis convenes the event and explains how the discussion will be facilitated. Sponsored by: the MSU Libraries, the MSU Muslim Studies Program, the East Lansing Area Clergy Association, the Islamic Society of Greater Lansing, the National Endowment for the Humanities, and the American Library Association. Held at the MSU Main Library
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe 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
"Closing the R&D Gap, Evaluating the Sources of R&D Spending"
No full textBoth spending and tax policies have been implemented in the United States with the goal of stimulating private sector research and development (R&D). Karier questions whether current R&D policy, especially the research and experimentation tax credit, can contribute to closing the gap between nondefense expenditures on R&D in the United States and such expenditures in other countries, such as Japan and Germany. He also explores possible changes to our current R&D policy to make it more effective.
Explaining the R(D) and R(D*) anomalies in the B − L supersymmetric standard model with inverse seesaw mechanism
No full textWe investigate the and anomalies in the context of the extension of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model with Inverse Seesaw. We demonstrate that the lepton penguin () mediated by CP-even/odd right-handed sneutrinos, charginos and neutralinos can account for these anomalies simultaneously
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

Outsourcing R&D Modules of a New Developing Technology
No full textThe paper explores some of the dimensions of the R&D processes: modularity, uncertainty and outsourcing. Ways to divide R&D effort into modules and to argue, either in direction of its modularity, or interdependency, are presented. Further on, uncertainties are segmented into the majors and minors, and reasons to outsource R&D modules, in the light of these uncertainties, have been investigated. The R&D process has been observed from insulin technologies development over time
Letter from R. R. Zellick, Assistant Trust Officer, Anglo California National Bank of San Francisco, to Joseph R. Goodman, October 2, 1942
No full textLetter from R. R. Zellick, Assistant Trust Officer at The Anglo California National Bank of San Francisco, to Joseph R. Goodman, regarding property owned by Dave Tatsuno. Zellick mentions a dispute between current tenants and Tatsuno, and that Tatsuno has asked Goodman to help locate trustworthy tenants.Personal correspondence, organizational records, government documents, publications, and other papers created or collected by Joseph R. Goodman documenting the forced removal and incarceration of Japanese Americans during World War II, as well as organized resistance to incarceration. Included in the collection are records of the Japanese Young Men's Christian Association and the Japanese American Citizens' League in San Francisco, including papers of the Japanese YMCA's executive secretary Lincoln Kanai; Sakai family papers; Goodman's correspondence to and from Japanese American incarcerees, organizations opposing forced removal and incarceration of Japanese Americans, the War Relocation Authority, and others; publications, photographs, and ephemera from the Topaz Relocation Center, where Goodman taught high school; War Relocation Authority records and publications; and newspaper clippings, pamphlets, and reports about forced removal and incarceration created by various government, religious, and civic organizations, in California and nationwide
