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
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
Differentially Expressed Genes In Response To Amoxicillin In Helicobacter Pylori Analyzed By Rna Arbitrarily Primed Pcr
No full textBecause the molecular mechanism of amoxicillin resistance in Helicobacter pylori seems to be partially explained by several mutational changes in the pbp1A gene, the aim of the present study was to evaluate the gene expression pattern in response to amoxicillin in the AmxR Hardenberg strain using RNA arbitrarily primed PCR (RAP-PCR). In the experiments, c. 100 differentially expressed RAP-PCR products were identified using five arbitrary primers. The cDNAs that presented the highest levels of induction or repression were cloned and sequenced, and the sequences were compared with those present in databases using the blast search algorithm. The differential expression of the isolated cDNAs was confirmed by real-time PCR. The preliminary results showed that amoxicillin alters the expression of five cDNAs involved in biosynthesis, two involved with pathogenesis, four related to cell envelope formation, two involved in cellular processes, three related with transport and binding proteins, one involved with protein degradation, one involved with energy metabolism and seven hypothetical proteins. Further analysis of these cDNAs will allow a better comprehension of both the molecular mechanism(s) of amoxicillin resistance and the adaptative mechanism(s) used by H. pylori in the presence of this antibiotic. © 2006 Federation of European Microbiological Societies.502226230Boigegrain, R.A., Salhim, I., Alvarez-Martinezm, M.T., MacHold, J., Fedon, Y., Arpagaus, M., Weise, C., Rouot, B., Release of periplasmic proteins of Brucella suis upon acidic shock involves the outer membrane protein Omp25 (2004) Infect Immun, 72, pp. 5693-5703Chambers, H.F., Methicillin resistance in staphylococci: Molecular and biochemical basis and clinical implications (1997) Clin Microbiol Rev, 10, pp. 781-791Contreras, M., Thiberge, J.M., Mandrand-Berthelot, M.A., Labigne, A., Characterization of the roles of NikR, a nickel-responsive pleiotropic autoregulator of Helicobacter pylori (2003) Mol Microbiol, 49, pp. 947-963Dore, M.P., Graham, D.Y., Sepulveda, A.R., Different penicillin-binding protein profiles in amoxicillin-resistant Helicobacter pylori (1999) Helicobacter, 4, pp. 154-161Dunn, B.E., Cohen, H., Blaser, M.J., Helicobacter pylori (1997) Clin Microbiol Rev, 10, pp. 720-741Frere, J.M., Joris, B., Granier, B., Matagne, A., Jacob, F., Bourguignon-Bellefroid, C., Diversity of the mechanisms of resistance to beta-lactam antibiotics (1991) Res Microbiol, 142, pp. 705-710Frias-Lopez, J., Bonheyo, G.T., Fouke, B.W., Identification of differential gene expression in bacteria associated with coral black band disease by using RNA-arbitrarily primed PCR (2004) Appl Environ Microbiol, 70, pp. 3687-3694Gerrits, M.M., Schuijffel, D., Van Zwet, A.A., Kuipers, E.J., Vandenbroucke-Grauls, C.M., Kusters, J.G., Alterations in penicillin-binding protein 1A confer resistance to beta-lactam antibiotics in Helicobacter pylori (2002) Antimicrob Agents Chemother, 46, pp. 2229-2233Gerrits, M.M., Godoy, A.P., Kuipers, E.J., Ribeiro, M.L., Stoof, J., Mendonca, S., Van Vliet, A.H., Kusters, J.G., Multiple mutations in or adjacent to the conserved penicillin-binding protein motifs of the penicillin-binding protein 1A confer amoxicillin resistance to Helicobacter pylori (2006) Helicobacter, 11, pp. 181-187Glupczynski, Y., Megraud, F., Lopez-Brea, M., Andersen, L.P., European multicentre survey of in vitro antimicrobial resistance in Helicobacter pylori (2001) Eur J Clin Microbiol Infect Dis, 20, pp. 820-823Goh, E.B., Yim, G., Tsui, W., McClure, J., Surette, M.G., Davies, J., Transcriptional modulation of bacterial gene expression by subinhibitory concentrations of antibiotics (2002) Proc Natl Acad Sci USA, 99, pp. 17025-17030Kwon, D.H., Dore, M.P., Kim, J.J., Kato, M., Lee, M., Wu, J.Y., Al, E., High-level beta-lactam resistance associated with acquired multidrug resistance in Helicobacter pylori (2003) Antimicrob Agents Chemother, 47, pp. 2169-2178Li, S., Xiao, X., Li, J., Luo, J., Wang, F., Identification of genes regulated by changing salinity in the deep-sea bacterium hewanella sp.

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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn 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.
