Wall associated kinases (WAKs) gene family in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum): Insights into plant immunity
Get PDFKURT, FIRAT/0000-0003-0172-1953; Filiz, Ertugrul/0000-0001-9636-6389; KURT, BARIS/0000-0002-1406-0915Wall-associated kinases (WAKs), a subgroup of receptor-like kinases (RLKs), are localized on the cell wall and have roles in pathogen recognition and signal transduction in plants due to their interactions with pectin molecules. In this study, it was aimed at characterizing WAK genes in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) using bioinformatics approaches. In this respect, all SlWAKs were identified as RD-kinases and all motifs in eukaryotic protein kinase (ePK) subdomains in SlWAKs were determined. Motif, sequence, and protein structure analyses showed that Solyc07g007020.2 and Solyc09g014740.2 are more distinctive proteins among SlWAKs suggesting that they may be involved in very specific pathways in plant defense system and may have different ligand selectivity. Other than that, we found that miRNAs silencing SlWAK genes are involved in various pathways and controlled with complex biological processes. Docking analyses showed that oligomeric pectin has higher binding affinity to SlWAK1. The findings are important for plant protection studies aiming at identifying roles of different WAKs in plant immune system, particularly in tomato
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
Synthesis, characterization, DNA interaction and docking studies of novel Schiff base ligand derived from 2,6-diaminopyridine and its complexes
No full textKURT, BARIS/0000-0002-1406-0915In this study [1-(4-{[(3-hydroxynaphthalen-2-yl)methylidene]amino}phenyl)ethan-1- one (B-1 ligand) were synthesized from the reaction of 2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde with 4-amino-acetophenone. Following that 1-(N-{4-[(1)-1-({6-[(Z)-[1-(4-{[(3- hydroxynaphthalen-2-yl) methylidene]amino}phenyl) ethylidene]amino]pyridine2- yl}imino)ethyl]phenyl}carboximidoyl)naphthalen-2-ol (L-1 ligand) were synthesized from the reaction of 2,6-diamino pyridine with B-1 ligand. Using this Schiff base ligand Cu(II), Fe(II) and Pd(II) complexes were prepared. The structure of the ligand and its complexes were determined by H-1 NMR, FTIR, UV-Vis, elemental analysis, thermal analyses and magnetic susceptibility spectral data. Further, DNA binding properties of the ligand and its metal complexes were investigated and docking studies were carried out. As a result ligands and copper complex showed DNA binding activity and an increase with H2O2. According to these results it can be suggested that these compounds are very suitable drug candidates.

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
