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

Investigation of The Neural Drive During Vibration Exercise by High-density Surface-electromyography
No full text\u3cp\u3eMechanical vibration applied directly to the muscle belly or tendon has been reported to elicit a specific reflex loop named tonic vibration reflex (TVR), which involves motor unit (MU) activation synchronized and un-synchronized within the vibration cycle. Indirect application of vibration to the muscle by vibration exercise (VE) has also been suggested to evoke TVR, as evidenced by the spectral peaks observed at the vibration frequency in the surface electromyography (sEMG). However, other studies interpreted these spectral peaks as the result of motion artifacts (MAs). The aim of the present study is, therefore, to investigate MU activation patterns during VE in order to clarify the nature of those spectral peaks. To this end, low-intensity isometric contractions were executed with and without VE, and high-density sEMG measurements were performed during the contraction tasks. MU action potential (MUAP) trains were extracted by decomposing the recorded high-density sEMG signals. The spectra of the MUAP trains were then calculated and compared between vibration and no-vibration conditions. Clear MU synchronization was observed during VE, confirming the spectral peaks at the vibration frequency to be mainly due to the reflex loop rather than MAs.\u3c/p\u3
NEW SPECTROSCOPIC DATA ON "MARMI MISCHI" BAROQUE GLASS DECORATIONS FROM "PALLIUM ALTARIS" OF MESSINA (SICILY, ITALY)
No full textThe ―Marmi Mischi‖ (mixed glass mosaic tesserae) are artificial calcium-rich glass decorations, typically used in southern Italy and Sicily during the Baroque period (1600-1700) to decorate walls and altars of reli-gious edifices. In this study, we provide new archaeometric information on the raw materials, pigments and opacifying agents used to produce ―Marmi Mischi‖ of ―Pallium altaris‖ from the Messina Regional Museum. To reach this objective, all the studied glass decorations were analysed by means of non-destructive portable X-ray fluorescence (pXRF). Some of the decorations were further subjected to Environmental scanning elec-tron microscopy (ESEM) and X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) in the laboratory. Two types of glasses were recognised. The first one – bluish green in colour – is a basic or slightly modified ―carcara glass‖, character-ized by high concentrations of P. The second type – dark blue, turquoise, light turquoise and red in colour – is a ―carcara glass‖ modified by craftsmen, containing high amounts of colouring agents (Cu, Pb, Sn, Sb). The presence of schreibersite in some of the analysed samples indicates that forming occurred in extremely reducing conditions and proves that the glasses were produced in CaO furnaces called ―carcara‖ and used to produce lime. Moreover, our results suggest that: i) the dark blue, turquoise and bluish green nuances are as a result of Fe2+, with minor contribution by Cu and Co; ii) the light turquoise nuance is related to Fe2+ and Cu2+, with minor contribution by Co; and iii) the red colour is as a result of the reduction of copper to the metallic state by Sn and Pb. Ca-antimonate (Ca2Sb2O7) was identified as an opacifying agent for the blue glassy decorations, whereas metallic Cu was identified for the red. The overall results of the chemical and physical characterization of the ―Pallium altaris‖ glassy decorations from the Messina Regional Museum suggest that the used raw material was ―carcara glass,‖ to which various chemical elements were suitably added to obtain the desired nuances
