The spatial string tension and dimensional reduction in QCD
Laermann E, Liddle J. The spatial string tension and dimensional reduction in QCD. NUCLEAR PHYSICS A. 2009;820(1-4):223c-226c.The spatial string tension is calculated in 2+1 flavor QCD with a physical strange quark mass and almost physical light quark masses on lattices with N-t = 4, 6 and 8. The results are compared with predictions of dimensionally reduced QCD. They suggest that dimensional reduction works also in the presence of light. dynamical quarks down to temperatures of about 1.5T(c)

Adaptation, adjustment and leadership in Australia's rural margins
Australia is a highly urbanised nation with more than 65 per cent of its population living in the major capital cities of Melbourne, Sydney, Canberra, Darwin, Adelaide, Perth, Brisbane and Hobart. In excess of 40 per cent of the nation's population lives in Sydney and Melbourne alone.Andrew Beer, Emma Bake

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
The 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
