No full textthis just in piece on the changing campaign of Democrat Chellie Pingree, who is seeking to replace U.S. senator Susan Collins, R-Maine. Pingree was focused on federal legislation that would mirror her Maine Rx program. But the U.S. Supreme Court recently decided to hear the pharmaceutical industry\u27s appeal of a lower-court ruling upholding the legality of Maine Rx, which effectively neutralizes it as a campaign issue, as the court could take up to a year to issue its opinion. In light of the recent Enron and WorldCom debacles, Pingree has now switched her focus to the Maine Disclosure Law, a 1998 piece of her own legislation that addresses corporate accountability. Her new Common Sense Agenda is a five-point platform focusing on strengthening corporate disclosure, enhancing corporate oversight, protecting pensions and 401(k)s, criminalizing corporate fraud, and closing corporate loopholes that allow overseas tax shelters for major companies, among other things

No full textCover Story piece on Chellie Pingree, who has been named president and CEO of Common Cause, a Washington D.C.-based nonprofit organization dedicated to political reform. Pingree is a former Maine state senator and ran for the U.S. Senate in 2002, losing to incumbent Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine. Common Cause is best known for its advocacy for the McCain-Feingold Campaign Finance Reform Act. With an interview in question-and-answer format explaining Common Cause issues and discussing Maine\u27s Clean Election Act
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe 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

Variability and seasonality of physical and biological fields at the Great Meteor Tablemount (subtropical NE Atlantic)
No full textFive oceanographic surveys were conducted at the Great Meteor Tablemount (subtropical NE Atlantic; 30.0 degreesN, 28.5 degreesW) throughout the 1992-1999 period tc, investigate temporal variability in the relationship between the physical structure of the water column associated with the seamount and phytoplankton biomass and/or production rates. Local increases in chlorophyll a, enhanced carbon incorporation rates and changes in phytoplankton species composition were associated with the seamount. These effects were subjected to a large degree of temporal and spatial variability both at seasonal and shorter time scales.Entre 1992 et 1999 cinq campagnes de recherche océanographique ont été réalisées (30,0ºN, 28,5ºO), pour étudier la variabilité temporelle du rapport entre la structure physique de la colonne dˈeau associée aux abords du mont sous-marin dˈune part, et la biomasse et les taux de production phytoplanctonique dˈautre part. On observe une élévation locale de la teneur en chlorophylle a près du mont sous-marin ainsi que des taux élevés de production primaire et des changements de la composition spécifique du phytoplancton. Ces effets connaissent une variabilité spatiale et temporelle élevée, aussi bien à courte échelle de temps quˈà lˈéchelle saisonnière
"Closing the R&D Gap, Evaluating the Sources of R&D Spending"
No full textBoth spending and tax policies have been implemented in the United States with the goal of stimulating private sector research and development (R&D). Karier questions whether current R&D policy, especially the research and experimentation tax credit, can contribute to closing the gap between nondefense expenditures on R&D in the United States and such expenditures in other countries, such as Japan and Germany. He also explores possible changes to our current R&D policy to make it more effective.
