Diffusive author(s), cohesive author: Analysis of S/N (1994)
No full textThis study indicates the ways in which various aspects of the author(s) are brought forth in Dumb type’s performance art, the S/N production. Previous research has suggested a non-hierarchical organization of Dumb type and the absence of a “privileged author” in Dumb type’s collaborative work, S/N. However, the results that I have investigated from member’s interviews on the creative process of S/N along with my analysis of the recorded images of S/N, indicate a different aspect of the author(s). First, S/N was created through, so to speak, the collective ideas of the members of Dumb type. Further, S/N has at least nine quotations from previous performances, installations, and printed writings, besides the work-in-progress technique. Explicating one of the “author functions” as given by Michel Foucault, each text has plural subjects of the author. However, it has been revealed from members’ interviews that Teiji Furuhashi had a decision-making role in selecting the members’ ideas within the performance. Since then, S/N has had plural subjects of creation; however, Furuhashi is one of the subjects of creation along with the “privileged author.” S/N has plural authors (diffusive authors) yet at the same time, it has a “privileged author,” Teiji Furuhashi (cohesive author)
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
Segregation distortion in Drosophila melanogaster: Genetic and molecular analyses
No full textThe Segregation Distorter (SD) complex in the centromeric region of chromosome 2 in Drosophila melanogaster is responsible for a naturally occurring and strong system of male meiotic drive. Earlier recombinational dissection and deletional analysis showed that the SD complex resolves into three major loci: the euchromatic Sd, or Segregation distorter gene at the base of the left arm of the chromosome (2L), and two heterochromatic genes: E(SD), the Enhancer of SD, and Rsp, the Responder, in the center of the left arm and the right arm (2R), respectively. Rsp exists in the major allelic forms, Rsp(s), for sensitive, and Rsp(i), for insensitive. Males that are heterozygous for an SD chromosome (SdE(SD)Rsp(i)) and a sensitive SD+ homologue (Sd+ E(SD)+ Rsp(s)) transmit predominantly or even exclusively the SD-bearing chromosome to the progeny. The distortion of the segregation ratio is traceable to failure in chromatin condensation and maturation of those spermatids that receive the Rsp(s) homologue during meiosis. Characterization of the properties of null alleles of Sd, E(SD), and Rsp that were generated by delection determined the precise cytological locations of the components and established the functional relationship of each to its wild-type counterpart, suggesting a model whereby a deleterious action of Sd, along with E(SD), on the Rsp(s) target sets in motion the events culminating in sperm dysfunction. Further genetic analysis of E(SD), a gene required for full expression of drive, showed that E(SD) in two doses can cause significant distortion even in the absence of Sd. This distortion is suppressible by a suppressor of SD action. Thus, E(SD) is more than a simple modifier of Sd; rather, it is an effector locus that, like Sd, can act at the Rsp(s) target. Cloning and molecular analysis of the Sd locus reveal that the alteration uniquely associated with Sd is a 5-kb tandem duplication within the polytene band 37D5, which is where Sd is known to map. The Sd-associated duplication appears to be part of a large gene about 100 kb in size. A 4.2-kb SD-specific transcript has been identified, and analyses of the cDNAs indicate a complex transcription pattern. Since Responder plays such a key role in segregation distortion, recent progress in analyzing this locus has been exciting. Studies of Rsp at the genetic, cytogenetic, and molecular levels have been mutually reinforcing and consistent in demonstrating that Rsp is an extended locus that is (1) subdivisible and (2) associated with a 120-bp repeated sequence of DNA that is rich in adenine-thymine pairs and whose copy number is correlated with the degree of sensitivity. In an exceptional situation, there are certain Sd Rsp(i)/Sd+ Rsp(s) males carrying particular modifiers in which the Rsp(i) chromosome can be transmitted at frequencies of less than 0.50 relative to the Rsp(s) chromosome, suggesting that the genetics of segregation ratios may involve even further complexities, which need to be unraveled
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe 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

No full textCan archives of audiovisual TV interviews be used to make authors more visible to students, and thereby reduce the learning gap between native and non-native language speakers in college classes? We examined students in a college course who learned about one scholar's ideas through watching an audiovisual TV interview (i.e., visible author format) and about another scholar's ideas through reading a formal text description (i.e., invisible author format). For the invisible author, native language speakers scored significantly higher than the non-native language speakers on a corresponding exam question (i.e., a cognitive measure), generated more words on the exam question (i.e., a motivational measure), and mentioned the author's name more often in answering the exam question (i.e., an affective measure). For the visible author, the groups did not differ on any of these measures. These findings provide evidence for the idea that making the author visible through audiovisual TV interviews can eliminate the learning gap between native and non-native language speakers. 3 Universities around the world serve students who are non-native speakers of th
