Well-defined, thin, elongated and often separated impressions of digits. Traces of digits II and III are the shortest and the longest, respectively. Base of the digito-metatarsal pad of digit IV more proximal than trace of digit II. Variable divarication angle II-IV (35° in average). Round to oval phalangeal pads. Pointed marks of claws oriented outward on digits II and IV.</p> <p>DESCRIPTION</p> <p>The tracks are tridactyl, small-sized, longer than wide (L/W = 1.3-(1.6)-1.9), 8.6-(11.0)- 13.6 cm long and 5.2-(6.9)-8.0 cm wide (Fig. 5 A-I; Table 2). The trace of digit III shows a long free part (L/D = 1.8-(2.4)-3). Impressions of digits are very well defined, thin, elongated and often separated. The impression of digit III is longer than traces of digits II and IV. Traces of digits II are the shortest. At the base of the trace of digit IV, the position of the digito-metatarsal pad is more proximal than that of digit II. The divarication angle II-IV is 24°-(35°)-46°. Round to oval phalangeal pads and pointed marks of claws are commonly very well marked. Marks of claws on the traces of digits II and IV are clearly oriented outward.</p> <p>REMARKS</p> <p> <i>G. variabilis</i> was erected by Lapparent & Montenat (1967) based on tracks from Le Veillon. This ichnospecies was abundantly reported in coeval tracksites from the Hettangian-Sinemurian deposits of the Causses Basin, in southern France (Demathieu & Sciau 1992; Sciau 1992; Demathieu <i>et al.</i> 2002; Gand <i>et al.</i> 2007), as well as in northern Africa (Bessedik <i>et al.</i> 2008). As mentioned by Lapparent & Montenat (1967), the morphology of <i>G. cuneatus</i> from the Connecticut is very close to that of <i>G. variabilis</i> from Le Veillon. Morphometric and statistical analyses made by Demathieu <i>et al.</i> (2002) and Gand <i>et al.</i> (2007) on <i>G. variabilis</i> from the Causses Basin confirmed that this last ichnospecies shows close morphological affinities with <i>G. cuneatus</i> (Fig. 4). According to Weems (1992), <i>G. cuneatus</i> is a synonym of <i>G. tenuis</i>. However, this ichnospecies is smaller than <i>G. variabilis</i> from Le Veillon and from the Causses Basin; L = 6.4-6.6 cm; Fig. 4). Since the case of <i>G. cuneatus</i> remains unclear, Demathieu <i>et al.</i> (2002) did not synonymise <i>G. variabilis</i> with this ichnospecies. Considering <i>G. variabilis</i> as valid, Demathieu <i>et al.</i> (2002) erected the following diagnosis (translated from the French): “ <i>Fingers are thin with well-marked phalangeal pads. The median digit is very elongated, the lateral digits are tightened and slightly tilted. There are three pads on digits III and IV, and two on digit II. There is no heel but digit IV is slightly prolonged posteriorly. Claws are elongated and sharp forming cuneiform marks. The ratio stride/pace corresponds to an elongated stride. The paces are arranged on a same line, the median digit in the axis of the trackway, its claw oriented inwards</i> ”. The morphology of <i>G. variabilis</i> differs from the other <i>Grallator</i> ichnospecies from the United States (Lull 1953). <i>G. cursorius</i> differs from <i>G. variabilis</i> in showing more slender tracks with a higher L/W ratio (Fig. 4). <i>G. gracilis</i> is strongly smaller than <i>G. variabilis</i> whereas <i>G. formosus</i> is larger (Fig. 4).</p>Published as part of <i>Moreau, Jean-David, Vullo, Romain, Bichr, Elsie, Thomas, Jérôme, Gand, Georges, Gagnaison, Cyril, Barrier, Pascal & Néraudeau, Didier, 2024, Crocodylomorph and dinosaur tracks from the lowermost Jurassic of Le Veillon (western France): ichnotaxonomic revision of the type material (Lapparent collection), pp. 343-366 in Geodiversitas 46 (8)</i> on pages 349-353, DOI: 10.5252/geodiversitas2024v46a8, <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/11501840">http://zenodo.org/record/11501840</a>
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
The ESO-Sculptor survey with ISO
No full textInternational audienceThe ESO-Sculptor deep redshift survey (de Lapparent et al. 1997), nearly complete down to R = 20.5, contains ~= 700 galaxies in the configuration of a thin strip ~= 0.2 x 1 square degrees, reaching out to a redshift of ~= 0.5. In order to build an IR luminosity function, to detect possible traces of ultraluminous galaxies as well as to analyze the far-IR properties of normal galaxies, the European Large Area ISO Survey (ELAIS) Survey observed a small (24^' x 24^') region of the ESO-Sculptor survey with ISOPHOT. About 14 infrared sources have been detected with a flux \gt 30 mJy . With an error box of one pixel, the cross-correlation requires an improved data processing of the source extraction pipeline and complementary data
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
Batrachopus gilberti " Lapparent & Montenat 1967

I, fig. 4.</p> <p> STATUS. — Subjective junior synonym of <i>Batrachopus deweyi</i> (Hitchcock, 1843) Hitchcock, 1845.</p> <p>EXAMINED MATERIAL. — Holotype: ULB-04C10_A. — Other specimens: ULB-04C02_B, ULB-04C04_A, ULB-04C09_B, ULB-04C10_E, ULB-04C14_A, ULB-04C14_C, ULB-04C14_D, ULB-04C14_F, ULB-04C14_G, ULB-04C14_H.</p> <p>DESCRIPTION</p> <p>The material includes a single trackway (ULB-04C10_E; Fig. 7 A-C) and several isolated pes/manus sets (Fig. 7 D-L; Table 1).The trackway is narrow, 76 cm long and 8 cm wide and is composed of five consecutive pes/manus sets. Pes and manus track strides are 33.0-(35.5)-38.0 cm long. Pes track and manus track pace is 16.0-(17.7)- 19.5 cm long. Pes and manus tracks show a small positive rotation angle relative to the trackway axis (15-(20)-25°). Pes and manus tracks show a pronounced heteropody. Pes imprints are digitigrade and functionally tetradactyl, longer than wide to as wide as long (2.7-(3.2)- 3.9 cm long and 2.1-(3.0)- 3.8 cm wide; Table 1). The ratio PL /PW varies from 0.8 to 1.4. On pes tracks, impressions of digits are clearly marked, straight to curved, and short to quite elongated. Their apices are rounded and can sometimes bear tiny marks of claws. On pes tracks, impression of digit III is always the longest, and impression of digit I the smallest (Fig. 7 D-L). Track of digit II is often the second longest. The divarication angle of digits I-IV strongly varies (36-(64)-82°).On pes tracks,the traces of digits II and III are the deepest. Pes tracks can show a short and large plantar-like impression.Manus tracks are pentadactyl and smaller than pes tracks, wider than long to as long as wide, 1.1-(1.8)- 2.4 cm long and 1.6-(1.8)- 2.2 mm wide (ML/MW = 0.7-(0.)-1.9). On manus tracks, digit imprints are very short and rounded. When preserved, digit V is oriented posteriorly.</p> <p>REMARKS</p> <p> These tracks were first ascribed to <i>Cheirotherium</i> (synonym of <i>Chirotherium</i> Kaup, 1835) by Bessonnat <i>et al.</i> (1965). This Triassic ichnogenus differs from the tracks from Le Veillon in showing larger tracks, pentadactyl pes tracks with a trace of digit V much more proximal than the group I-IV. Based on the following morphological characters, tracks from Le Veillon can be confidently ascribed to <i>Batrachopus</i> Hitchcock, 1845 (see the emended diagnosis in Olsen & Padian 1986): small quadrupedal trackway; pes tracks are digitigrade and functionally tetradactyl; digit III of the pes is the longest and digit I the shortest; pentadactyl and digitigrade manus, usually rotated so that digit II points forward, digit IV points laterally, and digit V points posteriorly; and manus much smaller than the pes.</p> <p> The gross morphology of <i>Batrachopus</i> is close to those of <i>Antipus</i> Hitchcock, 1858 and <i>Crocodylopodus</i> Fuentes Vidarte & Meijide Calvo, 1999. Olsen & Padian (1986) considered <i>Antipus</i> as a subjective synonym of <i>Batrachopus</i>. However, Coombs (1996) and Lockley & Meyer (2004) rejected this proposition. According to Lockley & Meyer (2004), <i>Antipus</i> differs from <i>Batrachopus</i> in showing: much longer impressions of digits on the manus tracks; slender, tapering, quite curvated digit tracks with higher divarication angles and narrow claw impressions. The tracks from Le Veillon clearly differ from <i>Antipus</i> in showing shorter blunt-toed digits. <i>Crocodylopodus</i> differs from tracks of Le Veillon in showing more slender and divergent digits, less outward rotation of the pes and more outward rotation of the manus (Lockley & Meyer 2004).</p> <p> Based on ULB-04C10_ A, Lapparent & Montenat (1967) erected <i>B. gilberti</i>. The validity of the diverse ichnospecies of <i>Batrachopus</i> was strongly debated (Olsen & Padian 1986; Rainforth 2005, 2007). In their revision of <i>Batrachopus</i>, Olsen & Padian (1986) considered only three valid ichnospecies for this ichnogenus and emended the diagnosis of each of them: <i>B. deweyi</i> (Hitchcock, 1843) Hitchcock, 1845, <i>B. parvulus</i> (Hitchcock, 1841) Hitchcock 1845 and <i>B. dispar</i> Lull, 1904. Based on the following characters, the tracks from Le Veillon can be confidently ascribed to <i>B. deweyi</i> (see emended diagnosis in Olsen & Padian 1986): range size of pes length (between 2 and 6 cm); manus tracks about 75% of the length of the pes; on pes tracks, imprints of digit II and IV are sub-equal in length. We consider “ <i>B. gilberti</i> ” as a junior synonym of <i>B. deweyi</i>. <i>B. parvulus</i> (see emended diagnosis in Olsen & Padian (1986)) differs from tracks of Le Veillon in showing a very short impression of digit I on pes tracks. According to Rainforth (2005), <i>B. parvulus</i> can be synonymised with the type ichnospecies <i>B. deweyi. B. dispar</i> (see emended diagnosis in Olsen & Padian (1986)) differs from tracks of Le Veillon in showing a stronger heteropody. Rainforth (2005) considered three additional valid ichnospecies: <i>B. bellus</i> (Hitchcock, 1858) Lull, 1904, <i>B. gracilior</i> (Hitchcock, 1865) Lull, 1904, <i>B. gracilis</i> (Hitchcock, 1848) Lull, 1904. It contrasts with Olsen & Padian (1986) who subjectively synonymised these ichnospecies in <i>B. deweyi.</i> According to Rainforth (2005), <i>B. bellus</i> cannot be synonymised with <i>B. deweyi</i> because it differs from this ichnospecies in showing tridactyl pes (not concordant with the sketch of <i>B. bellus</i> in fig. 20.2B of Olsen & Padian (1986)). Rainforth (2007) tentatively synonymised <i>B. gracilior</i> and <i>B. gracilis</i>. Olsen & Padian (1986) explained that “apart from its smaller, longer pace and the lack of impressions of digit V in the pes” <i>B. gracilis</i> is identical to <i>B. deweyi</i>.</p>Published as part of <i>Moreau, Jean-David, Vullo, Romain, Bichr, Elsie, Thomas, Jérôme, Gand, Georges, Gagnaison, Cyril, Barrier, Pascal & Néraudeau, Didier, 2024, Crocodylomorph and dinosaur tracks from the lowermost Jurassic of Le Veillon (western France): ichnotaxonomic revision of the type material (Lapparent collection), pp. 343-366 in Geodiversitas 46 (8)</i> on pages 353-356, DOI: 10.5252/geodiversitas2024v46a8, <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/11501840">http://zenodo.org/record/11501840</a>

Využití sociálních médií v B2B prodeji
No full textTato diplomová práce se zabývá tím, jak mohou B2B obchodníci využívat sociální média v prodeji. Na základě systematické rešerše literatury, autor zjistil, že akademici, zkoumající danou problematiku, navrhují další výzkum, a to: v kterých konkrétních krocích se dají využít sociální média v prodeji (Salo, 2017). Autor se na základě toho rozhodl zjistit, jaké sociální sítě, různé technologie a pluginy se dají využít v B2B prodeji - tzv. social sellingu. Social selling se v této práci týká primárně procesu akvizice a okrajově péčí o stávající zákazníky. Autor si vybral kvalitativní průzkum pomocí 10 hloubkových polo-strukturovaných rozhovorů, aby odhalil jak, která sociální média to jsou, tak i motivaci prodejců, proč tato média používat/nepoužívat. Aby autor dodržel správnost vyhodnocení výsledků, data byla analyzována pomocí Tématické analýzy, která v této studii vykrystalizovala 2 hlavní strategické přístupy v social sellingu. Tyto přístupy (tzv. Push a Pull strategie) obsahují praktické příklady a konkrétní aktivity, které mohou prodejci využívat v každodenní praxi. Tyto výsledky jsou prezentovány s důrazem na praktičnost a jednoduchost implementace. Tvoří proto hlavní přínos autorovo výzkumu. V poslední části autor zmiňuje výzvy a manažerská doporučení, které mohou obchodníci využít v každodenním pracovním životě.This diploma thesis focuses on social media usage in B2B sales. Based on the systematic literature review conducted by the author, he has found out that recent researchers (Salo, 2017) suggest further research in the area of how and in which sales phase should various social networking sites, technologies and plugins used. To further fill this research gap, author decided to identify these social media and their usage among B2B salespeople in the so-called social selling process. The social selling process in this thesis applies mainly to acquiring new prospects and tangentially to taking care of existing clients (follow-up step). Author has chosen a qualitative research method via conducting 10 in-depth semi-structured interviews to reveal these instruments as well as motivation of a sales person on why to use social media in the selling process. The collected data was analyzed using Thematic analysis to ensure the right procedure and to identify main themes which crystalized into 2 main strategic approaches in social selling. These approaches (Push and Pull) include practical examples of concrete activities which sales people can use in their daily jobs and are presented with focus on practicality and ease of implementation. These also form the main contribution of author`s research. In the last part, author mentions challenges in social selling and recommended managerial implications for salesforce
TeX v jednoduchém unixovém prostředí
No full textsummary:Při ladění TeXového dokumentu potřebujeme mnohokrát opakovaně pouštět TeX, podívat se, jak dopadl výsledek v prohlížeči DVI nebo PDF souboru, mrknout na výpis TeXu na terminálu, podívat se případně do logu a celou činnost opakovat. V tomto článku je ukázáno, jak tuto práci dělá autor článku. Proces "editor-TeX-kuk" je zde podporován jednoduchými unixovými nástroji: bashovým skriptem texloop, který si autor pro tyto účely vytvořil, dále terminálem Xterm a jednoduchým editorem, který umí navázat na klávesovou zkratku spuštění příkazu v systému. Čtenář se zde může inspirovat a přizpůsobit tyto nástroje svým vlastním potřebám. V článku je popsána funkce skriptu texloop, dále je neformálně rozveden dlouholetý vývoj autorova vztahu k textovým editorům a konečně je zde uvedena konfigurace terminálu Xterm, aby vyhovoval českému prostředí jak v kódování ISO-8859-2, tak v kódování UTF-8. Pro kódování UTF-8 si v závěru článku vygenerujeme TeXový formát csplain.summary:By debugging a TeX document it is necessary many times repeatedly to run TeX, to look for the result in DVI or PDF file, to gander the TeX output on the terminal, or eventually to have a look in the log-file, and all that action to repeat. In the paper it is show, how this work is made by author. The process '‘'editor-TeX-look' is supported by simple Unix tools: bash script texloop, created by author for these purposes, Xterm terminal and a simple editor, which is able to link to the shortcut key the activation of a system command. The reader could be inspired with the solution and to adapt these tools to his/her own needs. In the paper the function of the texloop script is described, and further the longstanding evolution of the author's relation to text editors is informal elaborated and finally a configuration of Xterm terminal, suitable for the czech environment with both ISO-8859-2 and UTF-8 encoding is introduced. For UTF-8 encoding the TeX format csplain is generated at the end of the paper
