Physiological disposition of a new diuretic compound, 2 phenyl 6 sulfonamido 7 chloro 1,2,3,4 tetrahydro 4 quinazoline (M.G. 13054-fenquizone) in the dog
No full textThe absorption, excretion and metabolism of a new diuretic compound, 2-phenyl-6-sulfonamido-7-chloro-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-4-quinazolinone (M.G. 13054), after oral administration to the dog have been studied. The results can be summarized as follows: 1) M.G. 13054 given orally to dogs is quickly absorbed. 2) The maximal blood levels are reached within the 3rd hour after the administration and remain appreciable (10% of the maximal values) till the 12th hour. 3) Fecal and urinary excretion is rapid and 94% of the product administered is excreted in the first 48 hours following treatment. 4) The product does not seem to be tightly bound to plasma proteins. 5) M. G. 13054 does not seem to be metabolized to any appreciable extent
Solubility of inert gases and liquid hydrocarbons in water
No full textThe thermodn. statistical model based on the distribution of mol. populations among energy levels has been employed for the anal. of the soly. of hydrocarbons and other inert gases or liqs. in water at different temps. The statistical distribution is described by a convoluted partition function ZG•ζs. The product of a grand canonical partition function ZG represents the distribution of the species in the reaction while the canonical partition function ζs represents the properties of the solvent. The first deriv. of the logarithm of the partition function with respect to 1/T is the apparent enthalpy which is the result of the contributions of the sep. partition functions, {ΔHapp}T = ΔH0 + nwCp,wT, where {ΔHapp}T refers to ZG, nwCp,wT = -ΔHw to ζs and ΔH0 is the change in enthalpy of hydrocarbon-water reaction. The plot {ΔHapp}T vs. T results in a straight line with slope nw at const. Cp,w. The apparent enthalpy is obtained from the coeffs. of the polynomial fitting of the soly. data, as a function of l/T. Alternatively, the apparent enthalpy can be detd. calorimetrically. The enthalpy thus obtained is a linear function of the Kelvin temp. The values of nw range from 1.6, 1.9, 5.6 to 5.8 for helium, hydrogen, butane and hexane, resp. For fluoro compds. the range of nw is 10.1 to 11.1 indicating that nw is a function of the no. of water mols. expelled from the cage of solvent to form a cavity to host the solute mol. The anal. of several sets of calorimetric or soly. data with the present mol. thermodn. model yields values of ΔH0 and nw consistent with the size of the dissolved mols
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
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
