Homoeopathic solutions in Brevicoryne brassicae and Ascia monuste orseis
No full textEste trabalho teve por objetivo verificar se há formação de indivíduos alados em colônias de afídeos Brevicoryne brassicae (L.), e o desencadeamento de algum efeito adverso em Ascia monuste orseis, quando expostos às soluções homeopáticas. Os insetos foram provenientes da criaçãoestoque. O preparo das soluções e as dinamizações foram realizados de acordo com as regras e técnicas oficiais previstas na Farmacopéia Homeopática Brasileira. Os tratamentos foram Resistente 5CH, Susceptível atacada 5CH, Pulgão (nosódio) 30CH, e as testemunhas Água (sem dinamização) e Água destilada + etanol 70% 5CH, sendo aplicados em dias alternados, durante 15 dias, para o experimento com pulgão. A solução Sulphur 12CH; Phosphorus 5CH; Magnesia carbonica 30CH; Ruta 5CH para o teste com as lagartas. A testemunha foi água destilada + etanol 70% 5CH. No momento da aplicação, foram preparadas soluções com 0,2 mL da respectiva substância dinamizada para 200 mL de água destilada, aplicados 100 mL de cada solução/vaso, via solo 70 mL e pulverizado nas folhas 30 mL. As características analisadas foram: número de formas aladas de pulgão e número de ninfas por colônia; massa (g) de lagartas no início e final do 4° ínstar; massa (g) de pupa seca (biomassa incorporada); comprimento (cm) de lagarta no 4° ínstar; duração do ciclo (dias), período compreendido de ovo até adulto; porcentagem de emergência de adultos; comprimento alar (cm); fertilidade das fêmeas (% de ovos eclodidos); valor nutritivo das couves tratadas (ingestão, eficiência de conversão do alimento ingerido (ECI), eficiência de conversão do alimento digerido (ECD)). Nenhuma solução dinamizada apresentou efeito significativo sobre a formação de alados em colônias de Brevicoryne brassica. A solução Resistente 5CH aumentou o número de ninfas e o nosódio Pulgão 30CH reduziu o número de ninfas nas colônias de Brevicoryne brassicae. Com exceção do Phosphorus 5CH, os demais preparados homeopáticos promoveram algum efeito adverso. O Sulphur 12CH apresentou efeito negativo sobre o comprimento das lagartas, tamanho das fêmeas adultas e a reprodução de Ascia monuste orseis. A Ruta 5CH reduziu a fertilidade das fêmeas e o ciclo de vida. A Magnesia carbonica 30CH promoveu um menor comprimento de lagartas, de fêmeas adultas e diminuiu o período de ciclo biológico do inseto.This work had for objective to verify if there is winged individuals' formation in colonies of aphids Brevicoryne brassicae (L.), and the occurrence of some adverse effect in Ascia monuste orseis, when exposed to the homoeopathic solutions. The insects were coming of the creation-stock. The preparation of the solutions and the dinamizations were accomplished in agreement with the rules and techniques officials foreseen in Farmacopéia Homeopática Brasileira. The treatments were Resistant 5CH, attacked Susceptível 5CH, Aphid (nosódio) 30CH, and the control Water (without dinamization) and distilled Water + alchool 70% 5CH, being applied in alternate days, for 15 days, for the experiment with aphids. The solution Sulphur 12CH; Phosphorus 5CH; Magnesia carbonica 30CH; Ruta 5CH for the test with the caterpillars. The control was distilled water + alchool 70% 5CH. In the moment of the application, they were prepared solutions with 0,2 mL of the respective substance dinamized for 200 mL of distilled water, applied 100 mL of each solution/plots, through soil 70 mL and pulverized in the leaves 30 mL. The analyzed characteristics were: number in winged aphids and number of nymphs for colony; mass (g) of caterpillars in the beginning and end of the 4th instar; mass (g) of dries pupa (incorporate biomass); length (cm) of caterpillar in the 4th instar; duration of the cycle (days), period of egg to adult; percentage of adults' emergency; length to haul (cm); fertility of the females (% of emerged eggs);
nutritional value of the treated collard greens (ingestion, efficiency of conversion of the ingested food (ECI), efficiency of conversion of the digested food (ECD)). No solution homoeopathic presented significant effect on the winged formation in colonies of Brevicoryne brassica. The Resistant solution 5CH increased the number of nymphs and the nosódio Aphid 30CH reduced the number of nymphs in the colonies of Brevicoryne brassicae. Except for Phosphorus 5CH, the other homoeopathic mixtures promoted some adverse effect. Sulphur 12CH presented negative effect on the length of the caterpillars, size of the adult females and the reproduction of Ascia monuste orseis. Ruta 5CH reduced the fertility of the females and the life cycle. The Magnesia carbonica 30CH promoted a smaller length of caterpillars, of adult females and it reduced the period of biological cycle of the insect.Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológic
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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
