Oral history interview with Richard Neal (OH-032), audio recording and transcript, 2004
Get PDFFrom the Capitol Building in Washington, D.C., Congressman Richard E. Neal, who represents Massachusetts’ Second Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives, discusses the career of Congressman John Joseph Moakley. Congressman Neal talks about meeting Congressman Moakley; the important leadership role Moakley played in the Massachusetts congressional delegation; legislative issues they worked on together; how Congressman Moakley developed bipartisan relationships within the Congress; Congressman Neal’s own thoughts on today’s political environment; and what Congressman Moakley’s legacy is to public service.https://dc.suffolk.edu/moh/1031/thumbnail.jp
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
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
The biology of small rodents in the grassland community of Queen Elizabeth National Park, Uganda
No full textDuring the period April 1965 to May 1966 a total of 2,390 small mammals, representing 14 species of rodents and various species of Ineectivora, were collected in four grassland areas of the Queen Elizabeth National Park, Uganda, Two areas were trapped throughout a complete year and the main seasonal changes occuring in the grassland were recorded. In one area the distribution of the different rodent species was studied with respect to the major plant communities. Each species was found to have a slightly different distribution. In general those species with more specialized feeding habits had restricted distributions compared with the omnivorous species. The distribution and hebitat preferences of the rodents were found to be profoundly modified by burning in the grassland. At first the number of animals and species present in the burnt areas were reduced, apparently by emigration to the unburnt areas. Some species were more effected by the burn than others.</p

Method of hydrothermal liquid phase sintering of ceramic materials and products derived therefrom, U.S. Patent 8,313,802
No full textProvided here is a method of producing a monolithic body from a porous matrix, comprising: (i) providing a porous matrix having interstitial spaces and comprising at least a first reactant; (ii) contacting the porous matrix with an infiltrating medium that carries at least a second reactant; (iii) allowing the infiltrating medium to infiltrate at least a portion of the interstitial spaces of the porous matrix under conditions that promote a reaction between the at least first reactant and the at least second reactant to provide at least a first product; and (iv) allowing the at least first product to form and fill at least a portion of the interstitial spaces of the porous matrix, thereby producing a monolithic body, wherein the monolithic body does not comprise barium titanate
Systems and methods for capture and sequestration of gases and compositions derived therefrom, U.S. Patent 8,721,784
No full textA method of sequestering a greenhouse gas is described, which comprises: (i) providing a solution carrying a first reagent that is capable of reacting with a greenhouse gas; (ii) contacting the solution with a greenhouse gas under conditions that promote a reaction between the at least first reagent and the greenhouse gas to produce at least a first reactant; (iii) providing a porous matrix having interstitial spaces and comprising at least a second reactant; (iv) allowing a solution carrying the at least first reactant to infiltrate at least a substantial portion of the interstitial spaces of the porous matrix under conditions that promote a reaction between the at least first reactant and the at least second reactant to provide at least a first product; and (v) allowing the at least first product to form and fill at least a portion of the interior spaces of the porous matrix, thereby sequestering a greenhouse gas
