Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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 PDFWe 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 PDFWe 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
Nutrient uptake and nutritional efficiency in sweet sorghum
Get PDFFoi conduzido um experimento em casa de vegetação, utilizando dois cultivares de sorgo sacarino (Brandes e Rio), cultivados em soluções nutritivas completa e diluída. No final do ciclo as plantas foram colhidas, separadas em partes e foram analisadas N, P, K, Ca, Mg, S, Cu, Fe, Mn e Zn. de maneira geral os dois cultivares apresentaram capacidade de absorção de nutrientes semelhantes medida tanto em regime de fornecimento adequado como em soluções nutritivas diluídas, embora as produções de matéria seca total tenham sido diferentes na solução mais diluída. Com relação a produção de colmos verdes, o cultivar Brandes produziu mais em solução completa e menos em soluções diluídas do que o cultivar Rio, mas a produção de matéria seca de colmos do cultivar Rio, em casa de vegetação, sempre foi maior do que o do cultivar Brandes.Two sweet sorghum varieties, Brandes and Rio, were grown in full strenght and diluted nutrient solutions till completing the life cycle wherein mineral analyses were carried out. As a rule both varieties showed the same capacity to absorb nutrients in the two rates supplied. Dry matter yield, however was different in the dilute nutrient solution. The variety Brandes produced more fresh stalks in the full strength solution than Rio; under nutricional stress the yield was lower. Dry matter of stalks in the case of the variety Rio was consistently higher.UNESP FCA Departamento de Agricultura e SilniculturaUSP E.S.A.

Nutritional requirements of sweet sorghum
Get PDFAs exigências nutricionais de dois cultivares de sorgo sacarino (Brandes e Rio) foram estudadas em condição de campo e em casa de vegetação com cultivo em solução nutritiva. O ensaio em casa de vegetação foi conduzido em bandejões de 40 1 de capacidade contendo solução nutritiva de Hoagland e Arnon, e no campo, foram amostradas plantas que receberam adubação com 150-200-100 kg/ha de N, P2O5 e K2O, respectivamente. A ordem decrescente de exigências em casa de vegetação foi: K, N, Ca, Mg, P, S e Fe, Mn, Cu, Zn. Considerando a colheita dos colmos e dos grãos, o cultivar Brandes exportou 55% do N, 41% do P, 68% do K, 16% do Ca, 38% do Mg, 47% do S, 6% do Fe, 55% do Cu, 10% do Mn e 14% do Zn absorvidos, e o cultivar Rio exportou 59% do N, 43% do P, 72% do K, 10% do Ca, 44% do Mg, 60% do S, 1% do Fe, 66% do Cu, 8% do Mn e 10% do Zn absorvidos, em casa de vegetação. em condição de campo, as exigências para produzir 1 tonelada de colmo foram de 3,22 a 3,93 kg de N, de 0,40 a 0,45 kg de P, de 3,91 a 4,3i kg de K, de o,02 a 0,77 kg de Ca, de 0,86 a 0,54 kg de Mg; de 0,32 a 0,41 kg de S, de 68,82 a 36,71 g de Fe, de 3,48 a 2,94 kg de Cu, de 16,43 a 18,05 g de Mn, de 7,72 a 8,77 g de Zn e de 17,99 a 20,47g de B.The mineral requirements of two sorghum cultivars, Brandes and Rio, were studied both under field and greenhouse conditions. In the greenhouse plants received full strength Hoagland's solution, whereas in the field a uniform fertilization of 150 kg N/ha, 200 kg P2O5 and Kg K(2)0 was used. Under greenhouse conditions the need for nutrients obeyed the following decreasing order: K, N, Ca, Mg, P, S, Fe, Mh;, Cu and Zn. Export of nutrients in the grains, in percentage of total uptake was as follows, respectively for Brandes and Rio: N - 55 and 59, P - 41 and 43, K - 68 and 72, Ca - 16 and 10, Mg - 47 and 44, S - 47 and 60, Cu - 55 and 66, Fe-6 and 7, Mn - 10. and 8, Zn - 14 and 10. Date obtained with field grown plants plants showed that production of 1 ton of stalk required: 3.22 - 3.93 kg N, 0.40 - 0.45 P, 3.91 - 4.39 K, 1.09 - 0.77 Ca, 0.86 - 0.54 Mg, 0.32 - 0.41 S, 63 - 37 g Fe, 3-5 - 3.0 g Cu, 16 - 18 g Mn , 8-9 g Zn and 18 - 21 g B.UNESP FCA Departamento de Agricultura e SilvicultureUSP E.S.A, Luiz de Queiroz Departamento de QuímicaUNESP FCA Departamento de Agricultura e Silvicultur
Accumulation of dry matter and macronutrients by two varieties of sweet sorghum
Get PDFForam colhidas amostras de plantas de dois cultivares de sorgo sacarino (Brandes e Rio), cultivados em um Latossol Roxo, de 20 em 20 dias, onde se analisou a acumulação de matéria seca, N, P, K, Ca, Mg e S. Ambos os cultivares apresentaram maior velocidade de absorção para a maioria dos nutrientes no período compreendido entre o aparecimento do primórdío da panícula e o florescimento, com algumas excessões. O cultivar Brandes apresentou maiores velocidades de absorção de nutrientes do que o cultivar Rio, nos períodos de máxima taxa de absorção, mesmo apresentando ciclo longo.Samples of two varieties of sweet .sorghum (Brandes and Rio) grown on a Dark Red Latosol (Barra Bonita, SP) were collected and analysed (dry matter and macronutrient contents) at intervals of 20 days. Both varieties showed faster uptake of most of the nutrients between flower initiation and head formation. Variety Brandes, in said period, took up more nutrients per day than the other, although its cycle was longer.UNESP FCA Departamento de Agricultura e SílviculturaUSP E.S.A.

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
