Shareef 72499 (holotype TBGT! isotypes MH! TBGT!). Shrub to small evergreen tree, ca. 7 m high; bark smooth, grayish-white, blaze dark reddish brown; twigs at first quadrangular, later terete, grayish-brown on drying. Leaves opposite, coriaceous, obovate or narrowly obovate, 4–7 × 2–4 cm, apex obtuse or obtusely acuminate, base tapering, margin entire and recurved, gland dotted on both sides, brown beneath on drying; midrib channeled above and raised beneath; lateral nerves ca. 32 pairs on either side, obscure above and prominent below; tertiaries reticulated; intramarginal vein one tiered, ca. 0.5 mm from margins. Petiole 0.7–1 cm long, thick and robust, black on drying. Inflorescence terminal cymes, much branched, ca. 7 cm long; peduncle and inflorescence branches quadrangular and sulcate; branches often leafy; bracts obtuse, ca. 1.2 × 1.75 mm, caducous; bracteoles obtuse, ca. 1.5 × 2 mm, aducous; Flowers creamy-white, ca. 1.8 cm across, sessile or pedicellate, pedicel ca. 1 mm long. Calyx turbinate, ca. 5 × 4.5 mm; lobes 4, broadly ovate, 2–2.5 mm long, apex rounded. Petals orbicular to suborbicular, 3–4 mm across, calyptrate. Stamens numerous, filaments, 4–7.3 mm long, bent inwards in bud. Ovary 2-celled with multiple ovules; style ca. 4.5 mm long, stigma acute. Fruit globose to ellipsoid, 1.5–3.1 × 1. 3–2.8 cm, greenish-yellow to yellowish-white, crowned by calyx lobes or absent, pericarp white, succulent. Seed 1, rarely 2, smooth, globose to subglobose, 1.3–2.8 x 1.0– 2.6 cm. Phenology, distribution and habitat:— To date Syzygium chemunjianum is known only from the montane evergreen forests of Pongalappara, the Chemunji hills and Pandipath of the Agasthyamala Biosphere Reserve in the Thiruvananthapuram district of Kerala at an elevation between 1100–1430 m. The species also occurs along streams and marshes in lower elevation montane evergreen forests. The present three populations each comprise c. 50 mature individuals and numerous seedlings. The populations are associated with Eugenia discifera Gamble (1918: 239), E. thwaitesii Duthie (1879: 506), Cullenia exarillata A. Robynson (1970: 249), Salacia agasthiamalana Udayan, Regy Yohannan & Pradeep (2012: 255) and Cinnamomum filipedicellatum Kostermans (1983:92). Flowering and fruiting occurs from October to March. Ripe fruits are sweet and eaten. Additional specimens examined:— INDIA. Kerala: Thiruvananthapuram district, Pongalappara, 1430 m, 11 January 2011 (with flowers and fruits), S. M . Shareef 70608 (TBGT); Chemunji hills, 1200 m, 25 October 2012 (with flowers), S. M . Shareef 72500 (TBGT); ibid, 27 December 2012 (with fruits) S. M . Shareef 76124 (TBGT); ibid, 10 January 2013 (with fruits) S. M . Shareef 76125 (TBGT); Way to Chemunji hills, 1100 m, 12 March 2013 (with fruits) S. M . Shareef 76127 (TBGT); Pandipath, 1200 m, 12 March 2013 (with fruits) S. M . Shareef 76128 (TBGT). Etymology:— Syzygium chemunjianum is named after its type locality Chemunji hills, Kerala. Interrelationships:— Syzygium chemunjianum is similar to S. tamilnadensis, but is distinguished by the shrubby to small tree habit, smooth and greyish-white bark with dark reddish brown blaze, light orange red young leaves and strictly obovate to narrowly obovate leaves with tapering bases and obtuse apices. The number of intramarginal nerves and lateral nerves in their leaves, position of inflorescence, turbinate calyx, and shape, colour and size of fruits and size of seeds distinguish the new species from the latter. The new species has 1-tiered intra-marginal nerve and ca. 32 pairs of lateral nerves which are very close to each other and are faint on the adaxial side and prominent on the abaxial surfaces. Diagnostic morphological characters of S. chemunjianum and the related species are provided in Table 1.Published as part of S. M. Shareef & Kumar, E. S.

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
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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn 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.
