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
O racista ignóbil e o perspectivista compassivo: refletindo sobre a tradução de poemas de A Kasïdah de Richard Burton
No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Estudos da Tradução, Florianópolis, 2014.O tema desta tese é a tradução da ira. Este sentimento, que está presente na literatura ocidental já como primeira palavra daquele que é o primeiro dos seus livros, A Ilíada, e que varia, como pretendo demonstrar, de grupo humano para grupo humano. Escolhi tratar da ira de um escritor em especi-al, sir Richard Francis Burton (1821-1890), propondo uma releitura do escritor britânico, famoso pela tradução das Mil e uma noites e por seus livros de viagem, como um autor revoltado, uma espécie de guerrilheiro das letras. Pretendo demonstrá-lo a partir da tradução de algumas estrofes de seu longo poema, A Kasidah, escrito e publicado em 1880, quando o autor tinha sessenta anos. Trata-se de um conjunto de duzentos e sessenta e quatro estrofes e quinhentos e vinte e oito versos, em que o escritor britânico ataca ingleses, franceses, árabes e hindus. Assim, primeiro, faço uma revisão das representações do escritor britânico na literatura especializada, mostrando que grande parte de sua ira se origina do temperamento revoltado e da expe-rimentação do ponto de vista do nativo. Depois, faço um estudo da história da representação dos gurus e poetas na literatura ocidental, mostrando de que forma deu origem à gurumania, isto é, a invocação em textos de poesia e prosa de teorias orientais com o propósito de explicar a razão da vida. A Kasidah, como quero mostrar, faz parte desta rede de textos. Em seguida, escrevo sobre as personalidades nas quais Burton, ao escrever A Kasidah, desdobrou-se. Mostro de que forma se originam nas experiências de troca de perspectivas que o escritor britânico fez. Mais tarde, demonstro que Richard Burton escreveu A Kasidah em resposta à tradução que Edward FitzGerald fez das Rubáiyát de Omar Khayyam. Por fim, em meu último capítulo, descrevo de que forma a ira varia de grupo humano para grupo humano. Assim, sigo por indicar a maneira em que, acredito, se deva tradu-zir a ira nos trabalhos de Richard Burton.Abstract : The theme of this thesis is the translation of anger. This feeling, which is already present in Western literature as the first word of that which is the first of his books, The Iliad, and it varies, as I will argue, from human group to human group. I chose to talk about the wrath of a particular writer, Sir Richard Francis Burton (1821-1890), proposing a reinterpretation of the British writer, famous for the translation of The Arabian Nights and his travel books, as an angry author, a kind of writer guerrilheiro. I intend to prove it from the translation of some verses of his long poem, The Kasidah, written and published in 1880, when the author was sixty years old. It is a set of two hundred sixty-four stanzas and five hundred twenty-eight verses, in which the British writer attacks English, French, Arabic and Hindu people. So first, I review the representations of the British writer in the specialized literature, showing that much of his anger stems from angry temperament and experimentation from the point of view of the native. Then I do a study of the history of the representation of gurus and poets in Western literature, showing how it gave rise to gurumania, ie the invocation of poetry and prose texts of oriental theories purporting to explain the rea-son of life. The Kasidah, as I want to show, is part of this network of texts. Then I write about the personalities in which Burton, writing The Kasidah, unfolded. I show how they come from the experiences of exchange of pers-pectives that the British writer did. Later, I show that Richard Burton wrote The Kasidah in response to Edward FitzGerald translation of the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam. Finally, in my last chapter, I describe how the anger will vary from human group to human group. Then, I indicate the way in which, I believe, the anger should be translated Richard Burton's work
A molecular phylogeny of the cotingas (Aves : Cotingidae)
No full textThe phylogenetic relationships of members of Cotingidae were investigated using >2100 bp of sequence data from two nuclear introns (myoglobin intron 2 and G3PDH intron 11) and one protein-coding mitochondrial gene (cytochrome b). Strong support was found for a monophyletic clade including 23 traditional cotingid genera, corresponding to the Cotingidae sensu [Remsen, J.V. Jr., Jaramillo, A., Nores, M., Pacheco, J.F., Robbins, M.B., Schulenberg, T.S., Stiles, F.G., da Silva, J.M.C., Stotz, D.F., Zimmer, K.J., 2005. Version 2005-11-15. A classification of the bird species of South America. American Ornithologists' Union. <http://www.museum.lsu.edu/~Remsen/SACCBaseline.html>]. Neither Oxyruncus nor any of the genera in Tityrinae sensu [Prum, R.O, Lanyon, W.E., 1989. Monophyly and phylogeny of the Schiffornis group (Tyrannoidea). Condor 91, 444-461.] are members of Cotingidae. Within Cotingidae a polytomy of four well-supported clades was recovered: (1) the fruiteaters Pipreola and Ampelioides; (2) the Ampelion group, including Phytotoma; (3) Rupicola and Phoenicircus; and (4) the 'core cotingas' consisting of the remainder of the Cotingas (e.g. fruitcrows, Cotinga, Procnias, Lipaugus, and Carpodectes), with Snowornis in a basal position. The separation of Snowornis from Lipaugus [Prum, R.O, Lanyon, W.E., 1989. Monophyly and phylogeny of the Schiffornis group (Tyrannoidea). Condor 91, 444-461.] was strongly supported, as were the close relationships between Gymnoderus and Conioptilon, and between Tijuca and Lipaugus. However, basal relationships among 'core cotinga' clades were not resolved.</p

series in the USA created by Rod Serling in the early 1960s. The term “The Twilight
Zone” used in his show is even more pertinent to the mysterious region between 100 and
1000m in the great oceans of the world, the “middle ground between light and shadow”.
It is here where the sunlight at the ocean surface is finally extinguished and replaced by
occasional flashes of biological light. This mesopelagic zone, as it is more formally
called, is a region of immense change with depth and it is here that most of the biogenic
material that settles out of the sunlit or euphotic zone is broken down and returned to the dissolved state. The gravitational downward flux of particles thus decreases with depth in
general, and the animals that traverse this great depth, some each and every day, exert a
powerful influence on the distribution of many types of materials. The extent of mixing
also declines dramatically with depth, such that the water at 1000m is isolated from the
atmosphere for many decades to centuries, and this has great significance when
considering the influence of the oceans on the overlying atmosphere
