Oral History Interview with Edward Nielsen, August 23, 2001
No full textThe National Museum of the Pacific War presents an oral interview with Edward Nielsen from Medaryville, Indiana. He discusses undergoing Amry training at Fort Knox, Kentucky, before being assigned as B Company of the 69th Army Regiment at Fort Knox as a private. Afterwards he got lucky and was assigned to drive a truck from Louisiana to North Carolina, Mr. Nielsen describes this as the best job he ever had in the Army. After Pearl Harbor he is transferred to the 1st Armored Division and Regiment, 2nd Battalion. He was then transported from fort Knox to Ireland then to England for a short time before being shipped out to Oran in North Africa. On the way to Oran, the ship he was on was almost hit by a missile shot by a German U-boat, but it instead hit another ship that was nearby. By the time Mr. Nielsen reached Oran he was a segreant Tank Commander. He also relays a time he warned his Company Commander about German Tiger Tanks being in their area and being ignored only for them to show up a few days later resulting in one captain deserting and being captured by German soldiers. Mr. Nielsen also discusses getting captured by the Germans on February 14th of 1943 and being brought to Tunis for a few weeks before being flown to Naples, Italy, and eventually ending up in a camp near Munich. Mr. Nielsen had made escape plans but was ultimately in the camp until it was liberated by the Russians. After being liberated he was flown to France before being brought back to Boston Massachusetts. Mr. Nielsen then got a train to Indianapolis before finally going home to Medaryville and was discharged in either September or October of 1945

Barathronus bruuni Nielsen 1969
No full textBarathronus bruuni Nielsen, 1969 Table 1. Figs. 2, 9 Barathronus bruuni Nielsen, 1969: 51 (type locality: 29°45’S, 64°58’E). Barathronus bruuni: Nielsen et al. 1999: 138. Material examined (1 specimen, SL 39 mm). Holotype: USNM 202104 (SL 39 mm, female), SW Indian Ocean, 29°45’S, 64°58’E, RV Anton Bruun, cr. 6, st. 351 B, Isaacs-Kidd midwater trawl, about 1700 m (sounding 4825 m), 28 June 1964. Diagnosis. Barathronus bruuni differs from the other five Barathronus species with pigmented peritoneum by the following combination of characters: dorsal-fin rays 81, anal-fin rays 73, pectoral-fin rays 25, long rakers on anterior gill arch 33, precaudal vertebrae 36, total vertebrae 86, no ventral flexure of anteriormost vertebrae, 3 fangs on vomer. A distinct brown streak in midline of body and a concentration of brown pigment between dorsal fin and nape. The rounded, 1 mm long otoliths seen through of the skull. Description. Only the holotype is known. For a detailed description see Nielsen (1969: 51). The principal meristic and morphometric characters are shown in Table 1. Comparisons. Barathronus bruuni seems most similar to B. maculatus but differs by having more anal fin rays (73 vs 54–66), more vertebrae (86 vs 74–79) and origin of anal fin below dorsal fin ray no. 10 in B. bruuni and below nos. 15–23 in B. maculatus. Distribution (Fig. 2). Caught pelagically between 1700 m and the surface in the southwestern Indian Ocean.Published as part of Nielsen, Jørgen G., 2019, Revision of the circumglobal genus Barathronus (Ophidiiformes, Bythitidae) with a new species from the eastern North Atlantic Ocean, pp. 231-256 in Zootaxa 4679 (2) on page 239, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4679.2.2, http://zenodo.org/record/377245

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
