Richard Berry Seager Archaeologist and Proper Gentleman
No full textAn examination of the life of Richard Seager is important for two reasons. First, it provides a glimpse of a character of a member of the second generation of researchers to work in Cretan archaeology and, second, Seager and his generation helped form our own preconceptions about the early history of Greece. His underlying thesis, that the Early Minoan society was the first European civilization, thus the foundation of Greek and later Western history, is considered valid today.https://digitalcommons.wcupa.edu/casfaculty_books/1101/thumbnail.jp
Raw data for a study of smile aesthetic perception amongst dental professionals, patients and parents towards impacted maxillary canine treatment options
No full textObjective
To evaluate the smile aesthetics of the different treatment options for impacted maxillary canines as perceived by orthodontists, dentists, patients and parents.
Design
Four digitally manipulated images were created to imitate different treatment options available for the treatment of ectopic maxillary canines including; alignment of the impacted maxillary canine, substituted premolars, retained deciduous canines or gaps present. The images were embedded into piloted questionnaires.
Setting
Four rater groups were selected to complete the questionnaire consisting of an Orthodontist group, a GDP group, a Patient group consisting of patients between the ages of 11 and 18 who were considered to be ‘Gillick competent’ and a Parent group consisting of parents/guardians who accompanied the patients to their orthodontic appointments.
Method
Each participant completing the questionnaire was asked to mark the visual analogue scale underneath each image according to their perception of attractiveness of each image. Quantitative scoring of the perceived attractiveness of the smile was assessed by one calibrated assessor measuring the distance from the start of the scale to the marked cross placed on the VAS scale.
A two-way ANOVA (mixed between-within subject’s ANOVA) was used to compare perception of differences in smile aesthetics.
Results
There were significant differences found in the VAS between the groups (p = 0.002) and between the treatment options (P=<0.001) There was no statistically significant difference found between the aligned canines and substituted premolars images by the patient (p = 0.2) or parent group (p = 0.5). All groups most disliked the treatment option where gaps were present at the end of treatment.
Conclusion
The patient and parent group showed similar perception in smile aesthetics for aligned canines and substituted premolars and all groups showed a strong dislike to the presence of gaps

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
Concise history of the acclimatisation of the Salmonidae in Tasmania
No full textThe idea of acclimatising the English salmon (Salmo salar)
in Tasmanian waters was entertained by some of the colonists
at a very early period in our history. In the year 1844, as
recorded in Vol. 1, p. 28 1, of the " Proceedings of the Royal
Society of Tasmania," the late Captain Frederick Chalmers, of
Brighton, in Tasmania, applied to Dr. Mackenzie, of Kinillan-by-
Dingwall, Ross-shire, Scotland, for salmon fry to bring to
Tasmania. The fry were not supplied, but the correspondence
is interesting, and shows how little was then known of the
subject when Dr. Mackenzie suggested that artificially
impregnated ova deposited in a basket of fine gravel and
plunged in a tank would require no more attention until it
was landed in Tasmania, where it could be put into a pail and
carried to any stream and there deposited.

Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe 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
Lack of Inflated Radii for Kepler Giant Planet Candidates Receiving Modest Stellar Irradiation
No full textThe most irradiated transiting hot Jupiters are characterized by anomalously inflated radii, sometimes exceeding Jupiter's size by more than 60%. While different theoretical explanations have been applied, none of them provide a universal resolution to this observation, despite significant progress in the past years. We refine the photometric transit light curve analysis of 115 Kepler giant planet candidates based on public Q0-Q2 photometry. We find that 14% of them are likely false positives, based on their secondary eclipse depth. We report on planet radii versus stellar flux. We find an increase in planet radii with increased stellar irradiation for the Kepler giant planet candidates, in good agreement with existing hot Jupiter systems. We find that in the case of modest irradiation received from the stellar host, giant planets do not have inflated radii, and appear to have radii independent of the host star incident flux. This finding suggests that the physical mechanisms inflating hot Jupiters become ineffective below a given orbit-averaged stellar irradiation level of ~2 × 10[superscript 8] erg s[superscript –1] cm[superscript –2].United States.
