    La región pampeana ha atravesado en los últimos años un proceso de simplificación de sus sistemas agrícolas caracterizado por una alta frecuencia del cultivo de soja y una marcada reducción de cultivos invernales. La persistencia y/o profundización de esta situación en el tiempo plantea serios interrogantes tanto sobre la sustentabilidad del sistema como sobre su eficiencia productiva. El objetivo general de este proyecto fue evaluar el impacto del aumento de la proporción de soja en las secuencias de cultivos y de otras secuencias agrícolas y agrícola-ganaderas sobre el stock de Carbono orgánico del suelo (COS), en diferentes fracciones de agregados de suelos Molisoles y Vertisoles de la región agrícola de Entre Ríos. Los resultados obtenidos demuestran que la frecuencia de soja en las secuencias tuvo un impacto más importante sobre stock de Carbono y los mecanismos de agregación en suelos Molisoles que en los Vertisoles. Por otra parte, aquellas secuencias que mantuvieron un mayor periodo de ocupación con cobertura vegetal viva favorecieron una mayor agregación del suelo, principalmente en el Molisol. A pesar de la mayor resistencia intrínseca de los Vertisoles se encontró una reducción significativa del COS almacenado en los grandes macroagregados con una elevada frecuencia de soja en las secuencias de cultivos.Fil: Novelli, Leonardo Esteban.

    Soil Characteristics Involved in Phosphorus Sorption in Mollisols

    The role of different soil properties on defining the P sorption capacity was investigated in a group of Mollisols of the Pampean Region (Argentina). Twosingle point and three-multiple point P sorption indices were evaluated. Both simple and multiple regression models indicated that ammonium oxalate extractable Al (Alox) and ammonium oxalate extractable Fe (Feox) were the main properties defining P sorption. Ammonium oxalate extractable Al prevailed as the best predictor of short-term P sorption indices and Feox as the best predictor for those indices that involves longer interaction periods. After Alox and Feox, the best correlations were obtained for the sum of Ca and Mg. The higher P retention of soils located in the Southern part of the Region was associated with the parental material rather than with anthropogenic effects. Obtained information can strengthen P fertilization programs by providing a methodology to estimate fertilizer P requirements to optimize crop yields while reducing environmental risks.Fil: Cabello Carasso, Maria Julia.

    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

    Get PDF
    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
