To restore or not? A valuation of social and ecological functions of the Marais des Baux wetland in Southern France
No full textThe Marais des Baux wetland in southern France has for centuries been subject to drainage, almost causing its entire disappearance. With an increasing awareness of wetland ecosystem services, the extensive drainage is being questioned today. To guide policy-makers and landowners in their decision-making, we use a Choice Experiment to elicit the preferences of the general public for potential land use and activity changes in the Marais des Baux. These changes concern wetland restoration, the extent of tree hedges, recreational opportunities, mosquito control and biodiversity.

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
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
Acid fermentation of primary sludge at 20v C
No full textIncludes bibliography.Full scale studies on biological excess phosphrous removal plants have demonstrated the biological excess phosphorous removal can be increased by acid fermenting the settled sludge in the primary settling tank, and adding either the fermented sludge, or the acids elutriated from the sludge, to the influent of the biological phosphorous removal plant. Considerable uncertainty still exists, however, as to the mass of short chain fatty acids that can be generated and the degree of improvement in phosphorous removal that can be expected. This study was undertaken to (1) evaluate short chain fatty acid production in laboratory scale batch, single and in-series completely mixed reactor systems, (2) development of a model for acid fermentation, and (3) theoretically estimate the effect of acid addition on biological excess phosphorous removal
