No full textRhitymna tangi Quan & Liu, 2012 Figs 9–11, 25–26, 61 Material examined. LAOS: Oudomxai Province: 1 female (PJ 3673), Lipi provincial protected area, ca. 3.3 km South of Oudomxai, 20°39'39.8"N, 101°59'45.8"E, 731 m elevation, ground, vegetation, by hand, by day, L. Nophaseud leg. 18 April 2011 (SMF). Additional material. CHINA: Hainan Province: 1 female, Mt Limu [N 19°10'12.00", E 109°45'0.00", 700 m elevation] Yang Zhong leg. 18 May 2015; 1 female, 4 May 1989, Maobin Gu leg. (both CBEE; not examined, illustrations from MSc thesis compared). Note. The species was described from Hainan by the male sex only (Quan & Liu 2012). Material collected and examined by Chinese colleagues in Hainan included one female (see above; collected at the same site of one paratype male: Mt Limu). Unpublished data and illustrations from an MSc thesis have been included in the diagnosis and description presented here. Therefore, it can be stated that the female from northern Laos is conspecific with the specimens found in Hainan. Similar distribution patterns are known from Symphytognathidae: Patu shiluensis Lin & Li, 2009 (China: Hainan Province, Laos: Champasak Province), or from Sparassidae: Heteropoda simplex Jäger & Ono, 2000 (Northern Laos, Taiwan, Japan: Ryukyu Island). Diagnosis. Medium-sized to large Sparassidae (body length of females: 16.6–22.8). For males see Quan & Liu (2012). Females are distinguished from those of all other congeners except R. pinangensis and R. verruca in having a strongly sclerotised epigynal plate (Figs 9–10), but distinguished from the two latter species by: 1. Plate longitudinal and slightly wider in anterior half (not or not that strongly elongated and wider in posterior half in R. pinangensis and R. verruca), 2. Internal duct system relatively simple with first windings situated in anterior half, thus ducts leading to epigastric furrow freely visible (duct system complex and with first windings in posterior half, thus in dorsal view covering large parts of ducts leading to epigastric furrow in R. pinangensis and R. verruca). Description. Male: see Quan & Liu (2012). Female (PJ 3673): PL 9.8, PW 10.5, AW 6.6, OL 13.0, OW 7.3. Eyes: AME 0.52, ALE 0.55, PME 0.36, PLE 0.46, AME–AME 0.46, AME–ALE 0.79, PME–PME 0.86, PME–PLE 1.47, AME–PME 0.46, ALE–PLE 0.55, clypeus height at AME 0.32, clypeus height at ALE 0.21. Cheliceral furrow with 3 promarginal, 4 retromarginal teeth, without denticles. Retromargin of chelicerae close to fang base with 17–19 bristles. Spination: Palp: 130, 0 0 2, 1121, 1012; legs: femur I–III 323, IV 320; patella I–III 101, IV 100; tibia I–II 2226, III–IV 2126; metatarsus I–II 2024, III 2025, IV 3025. Leg formula: 2143. Measurements of palp and legs: Palp 12.8 (4.1, 2.0, 2.6, -, 4.1), I 46.8 (12.3, 5.9, 12.6, 12.6, 3.4), II 48.4 (13.3, 5.6, 13.2, 12.7, 3.6), III 32.3 (10.1, 4.1, 8.9, 6.7, 2.5), IV 38.6 (11.6, 4.0, 10.6, 9.3, 3.1). Metatarsi III–IV with ventro-distal spine within scopula (sparse in Mt IV). Copulatory organ as in diagnosis (Figs 9–11). Epigynal field longer than wide, with several small muscle attachment points laterally and one pair of slit sensilla within epigynal field. Epigynal plate with rounded incision at posterior margin. Copulatory openings situated antero-medially, first windings of internal duct system kidneyshaped, ducts leading to epigastric furrow anterior-laterally with glandular appendages. Colouration (Figs 25–26). Yellowish- to deep reddish-brown. Prosoma dorsally deep reddish-brown, with black fovea, marbled pattern and dense pattern of elongates muscle sigilla. Eye region anteriorly lighter close to lateral eyes. Chelicerae deep reddish-brown. Sternum reddish-brown with 3 pairs of humps laterally and 1 fused hump posteriorly, gnathocoxae and labium brown, distally yellowish-brown. Coxae brown with marbled pattern. Legs reddish- (proximally) to deep reddish-brown (distally). Opisthosoma yellowish-brown with typical tuningfork pattern and several dots dorsally, ventrally with 4 longitudinal light lines in darker median field. Variation. Females (n=1; data from unpublished MSc Thesis) with PL 6.9, OL 9.7. Distribution.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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
Full text linkWe 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
Full text linkWe 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.
