Sequences. See Table 1. Description. Size: Polyps in situ approximately 4–12 mm in diameter when open, and approximately 4–15 mm in height. Morphology: Antipathozoanthus hickmani has approximately 40 bright yellow and/ or red tentacles, with long red, yellow, or cream-colored polyps that extend well clear of the coenenchyme (Figure 1). Tentacles are almost always longer than the expanded oral disk diameter. Cnidae: Basitrichs and microbasic p-mastigophores (often difficult to distinguish), holotrichs (large and medium), spirocysts (see Table 2, Figure 9). Table ļ. Examined zoanthid specimens for new species from the Galapagos Islands, and GenBank Accession Numbers. NA = not available or data not acquired. aSpecimens with the designations such as 03-560 are from 2001-2004 surveys (see Reimer et al. 2008b). Other specimens are from 2007 and have either specimen numbers (e.g. 471) in JDR’s collection, or museum type specimen numbers as given.

Differential diagnosis. Differs from Antipathozoanthus macaronesicus (Ocaña & Brito, 2004) (with regards to distribution; Galapagos as opposed to Cape Verde), coloration (no red or cream colors observed in A. macaronesicus), substrate (Antipathes galapagensis as opposed to Tanacetipathes cavernicola Opresko, 2001). Other morphologically similar and undescribed zoanthids (epizoic on antipatharians, similar sizes, yellowish in color) have been recorded from Madagascar and Japan (specimens in JDR’s collection), although these other specimens were found on different antipatharian species than Antipathozoanthus hickmani, and were never red or cream in color. Antipathozoanthus hickmani is the only zoanthid in the Galápagos found on living Antipathes galapagensis (Table 3). Habitat and distribution. All collected samples from Galapagos were on the black coral Antipathes galapagensis, at depths of 12 m to 35 m. Although A. galapagensis is found throughout the archipelago, Antipathozoanthus hickmani colonies were observed only at Santiago, Floreana, Isabela and Pinzon Islands, and it may be that this genus has a patchy distribution in the Galápagos. A. hickmani is potentially also found at Isla del Coco (Costa Rica) on the same antipatharian species, based on Museo de Zoologia, University of Costa Rica specimen UCR 827, although this has yet to be confirmed with detailed examinations. Biology and associated species. Antipathozoanthus hickmani may cover only a portion of a living Antipathes galapagensis black coral colony, or cover the entire colony, suggesting this species may be parasitic. Some A. hickmani specimens were found on completely dead A. galapagensis colonies or branches. Notes. Previously mentioned in Reimer et al. (2008b, 2010) and Hickman (2008) as Parazoanthus sp.

Variations on the Author
No full text“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

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

Semi-Sintesis Vanili dari Guaiakol Via Reaksi Reimer-Tiemann yang dikatalisis dengan Katalis Transfer Fase/Ptc: [18]-Crown Ether-6
No full textReimer-Tiemann reaction belongs to the group of the electrophylic substitution reaction (SE), and principally, this reaction consists of three steps reactions, namely: 1. formation of dichlorocarbene from chloroform by action of base (i.e. KOH), 2. reaction of dichlorocarbene as electrophyl to the benzene (or general aromatic) nucleus, 3. hydrolysis of the formed dichloromethyl benzene to the derivative of benzaldehyde. In this work has been carried out the modification of Reimer-Tiemann reaction with the goal to synthesize vanillin from guaiacol (o-methoxyphenol) as well as to compare with the conventional Reimer-Tiemann reaction. By the way, the modification of Reimer-Tiemann by using phase transfer catalyst and ethanol as co-solvent can obviously enhance the yield of vanillin up to 51.2% compared with the yield of conventional Reimer-Tiemann to synthesize of vanillin (up to 24.4%)
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
