Characterization and chromosome assignment of the canine gamma-sarcoglycan gene (SGCG) to CFA 25q21 -> q23
No full textMutations in the gene for gamma-sarcoglycan (SGCG) located on HSA 13q12 are responsible for limb girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD2C) in human. Here we report the cloning of the canine SGCG gene together with its genomic structure and several intragenic polymorphisms. The coding part of the canine SGCG contains seven exons spanning at least 70 kb of genomic DNA. The chromosome assignment of the canine SGCG gene to CFA 25q21 --> q23 confirms that the canine syntenic group 10 corresponds to CFA 2 5 and also supports the findings of human-canine reciprocal chromosome painting.

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
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
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

Nouvel examen des ossements humains de Moulin Quignon (Somme, France). Étude anthropologique, taphonomique et première datation par le radiocarbone
No full textDuring years 1863 and 1864, Jacques Boucher de Perthes (1788-1868) drove the discovery of a series of human remains from the Moulin Quignon stone pit, near Abbeville (Somme, France), site known for a while for its Acheulean lithic industry regarded as an official evidence for the great antiquity of Man. These anthropological remains, instead of supporting the previous findings, have casted doubt on the site as a whole. We tried to understand the issue in investigating these anthropological pieces and putting them back in their scientific and historic context. Twenty-eight remains have been identified in the anthropological collections of the Museum national d'Histoire naturelle, which seem to, correspond to only a part of the discovered bones as listed in written descriptions. Whereas we attributed them to Homo sapiens, their position in the Acheulean levels of Moulin Quignon appeared inconsistent. To remove doubt about their antiquity, two bones (skull and tibia fragments) were dated by radiocarbon method. Resulting dates, from recent historical period, confirmed their intrusive position in the site. Results of bio-archaeological and taphonomical studies point to nearby cemeteries as likely "providing sources"
