Air-sea interaction between Tropical Cyclone Nari and Kuroshio
No full text[[abstract]]The air-sea interaction between tropical cyclone Nari
(Sep/6 – 16/2001) and Kuroshio is studied using satellite
observations and an ocean model. Nari crossed the
Kuroshio several times, which caused variations in
typhoon intensity. Nari weakened when it was over the
shelf north of Kuroshio where cooling took place due to
mixing of the shallow thermocline. The cyclonic circulation
penetrated much deeper for the slowly-moving storm,
regardless of Nari’s intensity. Near-inertial oscillations are
simulated by the model in terms of the vertical
displacement of isotherms. The SST cooling caused by
upwelling and vertical mixing is effective in cooling the
upper ocean several days after the storm had passed. At
certain locations, surface chlorophyll-a concentration
increases significantly after Nari’s departure. Upwelling
and mixing bring nutrient-rich subsurface water to the sea
surface, causing enhancement of phytoplankton bloom.
Pyramiding of multiple resistances to disease and marker-assisted selection
No full textThe durability of resistance against diseases is one of the main aims of genetic improvement. Regarding apples, some scab-resistant cultivars carrying the resistance gene Rvi6 are commercially available and the fruit quality of the last advanced Rvi6 selections is at least comparable to the well-known cultivars. Nevertheless, their commercial interest is still limited. One of the main limits that prevent their further diffusion could be the Rvi6 resistance breakdown that has been already reported in many European countries; however, to date, this resistance is still effective in Italy. In order to pursue a durable resistance, the pyramiding of different scab resistances in the same genotypes has been proposed and this approach was pursued in most of the breeding programs worldwide. To this extent, the development of new apple multiresistant cultivars with advanced selection procedures was started in the framework of the Italian AGER Project. From 2011 to 2013, ten cross combinations have been made among Rvi6 resistant cultivars and other monogenic resistances selections carrying different resistance genes, i.e., Rvi5, Rvi2, Rvi4, and Rvi13. Parents have been chosen according to their previously investigated aptitude in transmitting excellent quality traits and good agronomic performances. A total of 5.722 seedlings have been produced, and the MAS for the presence of traits: Rvi6 + Rvi5; Rvi6 + Rvi13; Rvi6 + Rvi2 and Rvi4 have been started. The progeny plants selected by marker-assisted selection are going to be grafted for the additional selection steps for fruit quality traits and agronomic performance

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

Square Dancing with the Stars to Enhance Dynamic Hirschman Linkages?
No full textIn this Presidential Address, the author takes the reader on a reconnaissance of his life and time as a regional scientist. He points out scenery he found scintillating along the way, hoping that some may pick up the banner and chew on a few of the ideas for a while. He suggests a revisit to Albert O. Hirschman’s notion of key sectors and more empirical analysis related to Marcus Berliant’s and Masahisa Fujita’s notion of knowledge creation and transfer.Presidential Address, San Antonio, Texas, March 29, 2014 (53rd Meetings of the Southern Regional Science Association
