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
Theory-Ladenness of Observation in the Experimental Context
No full textFocusing on the discovery of weak currents, the current debate on the theory-ladenness of observation in modern physics might be too narrow, as it concerns only the last stage of a complex experimental process and statistical methods required to analyze data. The scope of the debate should be extended to include broader experimental conditions that concern the design of the apparatus and different levels of the detection process. These neglected conditions often decisively delimit experiments long before the last stage has been reached, thus predetermining the extent of the dependence of data production on the theory. I explain the nature of these conditions and the theory-ladenness tendencies they produce, noting how they affect the last stage of the data analysis and providing some relevant examples

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.

Anti-atherogenic Effects of 17β-Estradiol
No full textEstrogens are secreted primarily by the ovaries and placenta, by the testes in men and also produced by peripheral steroidogenic conversion. The 3 major naturally occurring estrogens are: 17β-estradiol (E2), estrone and estriol, of which E2 is the predominant and most active. The actions of E2 are mediated by at least 3 different receptors - the classical ERs (ERα and ERβ) and G-protein coupled receptor 30 (GPR30). E2 signaling in cardiomyocytes involves ERα- and ERβ-independent pathways, and treatment with the E2 receptor antagonists (Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators- SERMs), which are agonists of GPR30, inhibits cardiac cell growth. Effects of E2 in preventing endothelial dysfunction, a prerequisite of atherosclerosis, are well recognized. Atherosclerosis involves interaction between the cells of the arterial wall endothelial cells (EC) and vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC), as well as migration of macrophages into wall tunica media. It is predominantly developed at sites with abnormally high shear stress, such as bifurcations or branching of arteries, initiated by an injury to the endothelium and exposure to atherogenic lipids and toxins, such as those contained in tobacco smoke or infectious agents. Animal studies have shown effects of E2 in preventing atherosclerosis, inflammation and endothelial or vascular dysfunction. Gender differences along this pathogenic pathway have been also described. We review the data from the available animal and human studies, which focus on anti-atherogenic effects of E2. These studies represent evidence, albeit indirect, for an inhibitory effect of E2 on the progression of coronary artery atherosclerosis
