    Goesmann A, Linke B, Bartels D, et al. BRIGEP - the BRIDGE-based genome-transcriptome-proteome browser. Nucleic Acids Research. 2005;33(Web Server):W710-W716.The growing amount of information resulting from the increasing number of publicly available genomes and experimental results thereof necessitates the development of comprehensive systems for data processing and analysis. In this paper, we describe the current state and latest developments of our BRIGEP bioinformatics software system consisting of three web-based applications: GenDB, EMMA and ProDB. These applications facilitate the processing and analysis of bacterial genome, transcriptome and proteome data and are actively used by numerous international groups. We are currently in the process of extensively interconnecting these applications. BRIGEP was developed in the Bioinformatics Resource Facility of the Center for Biotechnology at Bielefeld University and is freely available. A demo project with sample data and access to all three tools is available at https://www.cebitec.uni-bielefeld.de/groups/brf/software/brigep/. Code bundles for these and other tools developed in our group are accessible on our FTP server at ftp.cebitec.uni-bielefeld.de/pub/software/

    A 2 h periodic variation in the low-mass X-ray binary Ser X-1

    Spectroscopy of the low-mass X-ray binary Ser X-1 using the Gran Telescopio Canarias have revealed a ?2 h periodic variability that is present in the three strongest emission lines. We tentatively interpret this variability as due to orbital motion, making it the first indication of the orbital period of Ser X-1. Together with the fact that the emission lines are remarkably narrow, but still resolved, we show that a main-sequence K dwarf together with a canonical 1.4 M? neutron star gives a good description of the system. In this scenario, the most likely place for the emission lines to arise is the accretion disc, instead of a localized region in the binary (such as the irradiated surface or the stream-impact point), and their narrowness is due instead to the low inclination (?10°) of Ser X-1

    Letter from John P. John to Joseph R. Goodman, 1942

    Letter from John P. John to Joseph R. Goodman: "Here are a couple of letters Caleb received concerning the Japanese situation. I have already sent him a condensed record of their general text. Probably more material will be coming in from time to time and we will forward it to you. I guess this is sufficient since Caleb has spoken with you in detail about the problem and where he is to be contacted in the east. Louise Thompson and I are holding things down while Caleb is away and can be contacted here by mail for anything."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

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    No full text
    We 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
