    A selection program using reciprocal recurrent selection procedures in maize (Zea mays L.) was developed. Intra-and interpopulation selection procedures were used for two maize populations BS10 and RSSSC. Intrapopulation selection procedures included phenotypic mass selection for multiple leaf and multiple stalk-rot disease resistance and S1 family selection for grain yield in a high-yield environment. Interpopulation improvement involved selection of testcrosses of S1 family×inbred tester in a high-yield environment. Evaluations of populations per se, population crosses and populations×testers for response to three cycles of selection for grain yield were conducted at four environments. Evaluation of populations per se and population crosses for response to three cycles of selection for multiple leaf disease and multiple stalk-rot resistance was conducted at disease nursery in 1985. The results indicate that selection response was consistent among environments. Gain from selection was satisfactory in populations per se, population crosses and populations×testers for grain yield, multiple leaf disease resistance and multiple stalk-rot resistance. Linear response to three cycles of selection for grain yield for BS10, RSSSC, BS10×RSSSC, BS10×B37, and RSSSC×B79 were: 0.95, 0.69, 0.65, 0.65 and 0.24 Mg/ha/cycle, respectively. The rates of gain for grain yield obtained in the present study compare favorably with published reports. Linear response for stalk lodging for BS10, BS10×RSSSC and BS10×B37 were: -9.0, -5.4 and -3.5%/cycle, respectively. All populations per se, population crosses and populations×testers showed significant increase in penetrometer reading. Increase in plant height and ear height were observed for RSSSC, BS10×RSSSC and RSSSC×B79. Population BS10 showed an increase in 300-kernel weight and kernel number per ear, and a decrease in ear number per 100 plants. Population RSSSC only showed an increase in 300-kernel weight. Three cycles of selection slightly increased grain moisture in BS10 and BS10×B37. This result indicates the procedures of selection in a high-yield environment are beneficial in improving grain yield, multiple disease resistance and stalk lodging resistance in maize populations per se and their hybrids. 在高產環境下,利用BS10及RSSSC兩個玉米族群進行兼顧族羣內及族羣間改良之相互輪迴選拔。族羣內之改良包括多種葉斑病、莖腐病等抗病性的外表型混合選種及S1系統在高產環境下之產量評估。族羣間之改良則包括測交系統在高產環境下之產量試驗及選拔。三個輪迴之選種效應評估,分別利用族羣、族羣雜種及族羣測交種等,於四個不同環境下進行產量試驗;並利用族羣及族羣雜種於病圃檢定其對葉斑病及莖腐病之抵抗性。試驗結果摘要如下: (1)選拔效應不因評估環境之不同而有明顯差異。 (2)族羣本身、族羣雜種以及族羣測交種之子實產量、多種葉病與莖腐病之抵抗性等之改良效果頗為顯著。在子實產量方面,BS10, RSSSC, BS10×RSSSC, BS10×B37,及RSSSC×B79分別達到0.95、0.69、0.65、0.65及0.24噸/公頃/輪迴之增進效果。在抗倒伏性方面,BS10, BS10×RSSSC及BS10×B37分別為-9.0、-5.4及-3.5%/輪迴之選種效應。所有族羣、族羣雜種及族羣測交種之Penetrometer reading亦顯著地增強。 (3)就本研究之育種目標而言,相關性狀之改變,以合意者居多。其中較為不利之變化為RSSSC, BS10×RSSSC 及RSSSC×B79等之株高及穗位高之增加,及BS10每株穗數之減少。有利的部分則包括BS10之300粒重及每穗粒數,及RSSSC 300粒重之增加等。 (4)本試驗結果顯示:高產環境下進行相互輪迴選拔,對改良玉米子實產量、病害抵抗性及抗倒伏性成效頗著,為一有利的選拔方式

    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

    Get PDF
    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

    koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist

    No full text
    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.
