Atlas radiographique du maki catta (Lemur catta)
No full textLe maki catta ou lemur catta est un lémurien malgache très reconnaissable à sa longue queue alternant anneaux noirs et anneaux blancs. L originalité de son évolution, liée à son isolement sur l île de Madagascar depuis des millions d années, intéresse de nombreux centres d études spécialisés. De plus, sa docilité et sa facilité d adaptation à la vie en captivité en ont le lémurien le plus représenté dans les parcs zoologiques. Cet atlas a été conçu dans le but de faciliter la médecine spécialisée en faune sauvage en formant une base de données ostéologiques et radiographiques de Lemur catta. Il présente l ensemble des incidences radiographiques du squelette utilisées en médecine vétérinaire appliquées au maki catta ainsi que des conseils sur le positionnement de l animal et des critères pour juger de la qualité des clichés obtenus. Des descriptifs anatomiques et des photographies des diverses structures osseuses accompagnent les radiographiques pour en faciliter la compréhension.TOULOUSE-EN Vétérinaire (315552301) / SudocSudocFranceF

A more extensive set of such transitions than in any case known previously has now been found in the and bands of .

These results will be discussed along with some account of the type of perturbations which have in practice led to perturbation allowed transitions, how one finds such transitions and assigns them, and lastly, where to look for such transitions in some other light symmetric top molecules

MeSH term explosion and author rank improve expert recommendations
No full textInformation overload is an often-cited phenomenon that reduces the productivity, efficiency and efficacy of scientists. One challenge for scientists is to find appropriate collaborators in their research. The literature describes various solutions to the problem of expertise location, but most current approaches do not appear to be very suitable for expert recommendations in biomedical research. In this study, we present the development and initial evaluation of a vector space model-based algorithm to calculate researcher similarity using four inputs: 1) MeSH terms of publications; 2) MeSH terms and author rank; 3) exploded MeSH terms; and 4) exploded MeSH terms and author rank. We developed and evaluated the algorithm using a data set of 17,525 authors and their 22,542 papers. On average, our algorithms correctly predicted 2.5 of the top 5/10 coauthors of individual scientists. Exploded MeSH and author rank outperformed all other algorithms in accuracy, followed closely by MeSH and author rank. Our results show that the accuracy of MeSH term-based matching can be enhanced with other metadata such as author rank

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
TRACKING THE GOVERNMENT SECTOR IN A NATURAL RESOURCE-BASED ECONOMY
No full textIn this paper, we describe the modeling of a resource-dependent economy, namely, Southeast Alaska, in monitoring the impact of federal, state and local government taxing and spending activities on the region. An important part of the modeling effort is construction of a readily accessible regional database for estimating critical economic relationships and variables that provide a baseline forecast series for the region. The Alaska Interactive Policy Analysis Simulation System (IPASS) makes use of the database in assessing the economic impacts of alternative resource management policies on state and local governments. IPASS is a computer-based, user-interactive economic forecasting and simulation system. The basic system is divided into eight modules: investment; final demand; production; regional export; population; labor force; employment; and primary inputs with government being the ninth module. It provides the quantitative framework for measuring and monitoring changes in regional economic activity and, also, for differentiating among the causal factors accounting for these changes. The individual modules form the IPASS shell that makes possible assessment of the effects of specific government activity on each industry and sector in the region's economy and, in turn, the effects of specific industry activity on each level and function of government.Community/Rural/Urban Development, Public Economics,
"Closing the R&D Gap, Evaluating the Sources of R&D Spending"
No full textBoth spending and tax policies have been implemented in the United States with the goal of stimulating private sector research and development (R&D). Karier questions whether current R&D policy, especially the research and experimentation tax credit, can contribute to closing the gap between nondefense expenditures on R&D in the United States and such expenditures in other countries, such as Japan and Germany. He also explores possible changes to our current R&D policy to make it more effective.
