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
Blastomycosis granuloma involving the cranial vena cava associated with chylothorax and cranial vena caval syndrome in a dog
No full textA four-year-old, sexually intact, male dachshund was diagnosed with pulmonary blastomycosis. Itraconazole was administered for 60 days, and the dog was considered to be disease-free at three- and 12-month reevaluations. Two years following discontinuation of itraconazole, the dog developed a granuloma of the cranial vena cava resulting in chylothorax and cranial vena caval obstruction. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first case of a blastomycotic granuloma involving the vena cava reported in the dog. Blastomycosis should be considered as a differential diagnosis for both chylothorax and cranial vena caval syndrome in the dog
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
Modern Diachronic Corpus-Assisted Discourse Studies
No full textIl progetto rappresenta la prima programma di ricerca formale prodotta nell’alveo della nascente disciplina dell’ analisi del discorso diacronica assistita da corpora in chiave moderna (MD-CADS), innovativa dal punto di vista sia metodologico, sia delle tematiche che è in grado di affrontare.
Scopo fondamentale del progetto è l’analisi dei recenti cambiamenti (a) nelle modalità di comunicazione delle notizie; (b) nell’uso dell’inglese britannico contemporaneo; (c) negli atteggiamenti nei confronti di questioni sociali, politiche e culturali, quali si evincono dai quotidiani e dall’informazione televisiva in Gran Bretagna. A tal fine, si utilizzano tecniche informatizzate volte a quantificare i mutamenti osservati, coniugando l’analisi statistica di grandi quantità di testi a uno studio qualitativo approfondito di singoli testi, secondo la metodologia classica dell’analisi del discorso
Some remarks on “On the windowed Fourier transform and wavelet transform of almost periodic functions,” by J.R. Partington and B. Ünalmış
No full textAbstractJ.R. Partington and B. Ünalmış consider in their 2001 paper [J.R. Partington, B. Ünalmış, Appl. Comput. Harmon. Anal. 10 (1) (2001) 45–60] the windowed Fourier transform and wavelet transform as tools for analyzing almost periodic signals. They establish Parseval-type identities and consider discretized versions of these transforms in order to construct generalized frame decompositions. We have found a gap in the construction of generalized frames in the windowed Fourier transform case; we comment on this gap and give an alternative proof. As for the wavelet transform case, in [J.R. Partington, B. Ünalmış, Appl. Comput. Harmon. Anal. 10 (1) (2001) 45–60] the generalized frame decomposition is done only for the simplest wavelet, the Haar wavelet; we show how to construct generalized frame decompositions for a wide family of wavelets
Observations on the synthesis of photochromic naphthopyrans
No full text1-Naphthol reacts with 1,1-diarylprop-2-yn-1-ols 5a,b, under alumina catalysis, by two pathways to give the photochromic naphtho[1,2-b]pyrans 6a,b, together with the propenylid-enenaphthalenones 7a,b, representatives of a new class of merocyanine dyes. With 2-methyl-1-naphthol, formation of the photochrome is suppressed; the only products are merocyanines 7c,d. The cyclocondensation of 2-naphthol with 5a,b proceeds much more efficiently, to give the naphtho[2, 1 b]pyrans 14a,b. Pyran formation is not suppressed from either 1-bromo- or 1- (4-methoxyphenyl)-2-naphthol; reaction with 5a,b merely results in expulsion of the C-1 substituent. An alternative pathway supervenes in the reaction of 1-methyl-2-naphthol with 5a to give the benz[e]indanone 17, the constitution of which was determined by X-ray crystallography. Reaction of the 1,3,3-triarylpropynols 19a,b with 1-naphthol affords the naphthopyrans 20 together with merocyanines 21, whilst the isomeric pyrans 23 are efficiently produced from 2-naphthol. The configuration of merocyanines 7a and 21 a was unequivocally established by X-ray crystallography

Cancer Pharmacogenomics
No full textPharmacogenomics research is yielding molecular diagnostic tools that can be used to optimize the selection of medications and their doses for individual patients. Given the narrow therapeutic index of most anticancer agents and the serious consequences of undertreatment, cancer chemotherapy is a compelling therapeutic area for translation of pharmacogenomics to the clinic. This review addresses how inherited (germline) and acquired (somatic) sources of genome variability can alter the toxicity or efficacy of cancer chemotherapy
