    Magistritöö Aianduse õppekavalVeinitootjatel on oluline teada, kuidas viinapuude lõikus mõjutab marjade küpsemist ja veini kvaliteeti. Varasemad uuringud on tehtud noorte taimedega ja seetõttu pole teada lõikamise aja mõju täiskandeeas. Püstitati hüpotees, et veiniviinamarjade tehnoloogiline küpsus sõltub sordist ja viinapuude lõikamise ajast. Magistritöö eesmärk oli välja selgitada viinapuude sügisese ja kevadise lõikamise aja mõju veiniviinamarjade suhkrute ja hapete profiilile. Katse viidi läbi aastatel 2023–2024 Eesti Maaülikooli Rõhu Katsejaamas, ning analüüsid toimusid Polli Aiandusuuringute Keskuses FT-NIR meetodil. Katsesortideks olid ‘Hasansky Sladky’ ja ‘Zilga’. Tulemused näitasid, et lõikuse aeg ja sort mõjutasid oluliselt marjade suhkrusisaldust ja hapete profiili. Kevadlõikus suurendas suhkrusisaldust, eriti ‘Zilga’ puhul, samas kui ‘Hasansky Sladky’ säilitas kõrge suhkrusisalduse mõlemal lõikusajal. Hapete osas oli ‘Zilga’ tundlikum, kevadlõikus tõstis viin- ja õunhappe sisaldust, kuid ‘Hasansky Sladky’ jäi stabiilsemaks, püsides kõrgema õunhappesisaldusega. Tulemused kinnitasid osaliselt hüpoteesi, et viinamarjade küpsus sõltub sordist ja lõikuse ajast, pakkudes veinitootjatele võimaluse valida sobiv sort ja lõikuse aeg vastavalt soovitud veinitüübile. ‘Hasansky Sladky’ sobib kõrgema suhkrusisalduse ja madalama happesusega veini jaoks, samas kui ‘Zilga’ puhul tuleb lõikuse ajastust täpselt jälgida.It is important for wine producers to understand how grapevine pruning affects berry ripening and wine quality. Previous studies have mostly focused on young plants, leaving the effects of pruning time on mature vines largely unknown. The hypothesis stated that the technological ripeness of grapes depends on both the variety and the timing of pruning. The aim of this thesis was to determine how autumn and spring pruning times influence the sugar and acid profiles of wine grapes. The experiment was conducted during 2023–2024 at the Estonian University of Life Sciences' Rõhu Experimental Station, with analyses carried out at the Polli Horticultural Research Centre using the FT-NIR method. The grape varieties studied were ‘Hasansky Sladky’ and ‘Zilga’. The results showed that both pruning time and grape variety significantly affected the sugar content and acid profile of the berries. Spring pruning notably increased sugar levels, particularly in ‘Zilga’, while ‘Hasansky Sladky’ maintained a high sugar content regardless of pruning time. In terms of acidity, ‘Zilga’ was more sensitive, with spring pruning increasing both tartaric and malic acid levels. ‘Hasansky Sladky’, on the other hand, showed greater stability, consistently exhibiting higher malic acid content. The results partially confirmed the hypothesis that grape ripeness depends on both variety and pruning time, providing wine producers with valuable information for selecting the appropriate variety and pruning schedule to match the desired wine type. ‘Hasansky Sladky’ proved to be more suitable for wine production due to its higher sugar content and lower acidity, while pruning time for ‘Zilga’ must be carefully planned to achieve the desired quality parameters

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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

    We 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

    We 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

    We 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 text
    In 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.
