Efectos de la siembra y el trasplante a recipiente cónico en el crecimiento de Pithecellobium dulce y Platymiscium diadelphum en vivero
Get PDFConsidering the potential for the urban tree planting of dry tropical areas of Pithecellobium dulce (Roxb.) Benth and Platymiscium diadelphum S.F. Blake and the importance of the container on the initial growth and conformation of the roots in woody plants, sowing and transplantation were studied in both species in two types of conical containers (designed to produce forestry plants). The treatments consisted of (T1): seeds propagated by seeding in conical tubes; (T2): seeds sown in tubes for pivoting roots; and (T3): seeds sown as in T1 and later transplanted to the same container used in T2. The evaluations were started 30 days after the start of the trial and extended for 90 days, determining the following variables: height of the plant, stem diameter, number of leaves, leaf area, relative chlorophyll index, length of roots, dry mass of aerial part and roots. The data allowed to calculate the ratio of dry mass of aerial part/roots, slenderness index, and Dickson index. These biometric variables and morphological indices were used to quantitatively and qualitatively characterize the growth of both species, which indicated that the plants meet the quality characteristics and potential for transplant survival during the evaluation period. The T3 favored the best distribution, arrangement and conformation of the root ball.Atendiendo al potencial para el arbolado urbano de áreas tropicales secas con Pithecellobium dulce (Roxb.) Benth y Platymiscium diadelphum S. F. Blake y la importancia del recipiente de propagación en el crecimiento y conformación de las raíces de plantas leñosas, se estudió la siembra y trasplante de ambas especies en dos tipos de recipientes cónicos (diseñados para la producción de forestales) en fase inicial de vivero. Los tratamientos consistieron en (T1): semillas de ambas especies, propagadas mediante siembra en tubetes cónicos; (T2): semillas de las dos especies sembradas en tubetes para raíz pivotante; y (T3): plantas propagadas como en T1 y trasplantadas al recipiente usado en T2. Las evaluaciones se iniciaron a los 30 días después de iniciado el ensayo y se prolongaron durante 90 días. Se determinaron las siguientes variables: altura de la planta, diámetro del tallo, número de hojas, área foliar, longitud de raíces, biomasa seca de la parte aérea y raíces. Los datos registrados permitieron estimar la relación de biomasa seca aérea/biomasa seca raíces, índice de esbeltez e índice de calidad de Dickson. Estas variables biométricas e índices morfológicos se utilizaron para caracterizar cuantitativa y cualitativamente el crecimiento de ambas especies los cuales indicaron que las plantas cumplen con las características de calidad y potencial para la sobrevivencia al trasplante durante el período de evaluación. El tubete para raíz pivotante (especialmente el T3) favoreció la mejor distribución, disposición y conformación del cepellón
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
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
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
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
