This topic has been extensively investigated for 100 years with more achievements in many sectors and practical significance in conducting high-efficient agriculture and eco-environmental construction. The plant-soil interaction is the core issue of this topic, which has been given much attention for the past 30 years (Wu et al. 2007, 2010; Zhang et al. 2011, 2013; Xu et al. 2012, 2013).Plants and soil are the base for sustainably surviving human beings on the globe as the role of materials, energy, resources and environment (Shao & Chu 2008; Shao et al. 2008, 2009, 2010, 2012a,b; Liu & Shao, 2010; Ruan et al. 2010; Xu et al. 2010, 2012; Shao 2012; Huang et al. 2013).

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

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

The Houses of Duke Chou and Duke Shao : Some Questions Concerning the Origin of the Book of Shao Kao
No full textNot enough has been clarified about the origin of the early part of the Shu Ching. In this respect, what needs be determined first may be the relationship between Duke Chou 周公 and Duke Shao 召公, the two principal characters in those books. The two dukes, who used to be considered brothers or kinsmen, have been established by recent researches as the representatives of two tribes that had earlier been subject to the Yin but cooperated with the Chou at the time of the latter’s overthrow of the Yin at the end of the eleventh century B. C. The Shao, in particular, joined the Chou camp out of fear that a part of its territory might be confiscated by the Yin.The earliest part of the Shu Ching seems to be based upon the theme of the antagonism between Duke Chou and Duke Shao. Firstly, after the death of King Wu 武王, his younger brother Duke Chou succeeded to the throne as the former’s son King Ch’eng 成王 was still a minor, thus incurring ill feeling of the Chou Clansmen and the tribal chieftains who had supported the Chou. Secondly, the city of Lo i 洛邑, that was built for governing the East after the suppression of the Easterners which had taken place after the death of King Wu, was situated within the sphere of influence of Duke Shao. We learn from the Shu Ching and the bronze inscriptions that Duke Shao, who was younger than Duke Chou by more than thirty years, could never contend with the latter on an equal footing as long as the latter was alive. Duke Chou abdicated after seven years in favor of King Ch’eng and died after a little over three years thereafter. This changed the situation for Duke Shao. The earlier books of the Shu Ching, the Lo Kao 洛誥 and the likes, seldom refer to Duke Shao and ascribe the establishment and government of Lo i to Duke Chou, while such books as the Shao Kao 召誥 and the Chün Shih 君奭 say that the same city was built by nobody but Duke Shao and that his government was entrusted by King Ch’eng. The present order of the books in the Shu Ching, which predates the Shao Kao to the Lo Kao, is due to still later editing.The present author reconstructs, from the bronze inscriptions, the process in which Duke Shao, after the death of Duke Chou, deported the latter’s descendants to faraway places and took over the control of Lo i. He concludes that the two books, Shao Kao and Chün Shih, were written to justify Duke Shao’s sway over that city.journal articl

Pharmacokinetic and Metabolic Studies of Retrojusticidin B, a Potential Anti-Viral Lignan, in Rats
No full textThe pharmacokinetics and metabolism of retrojusticidin B, an anti-HIV reverse transcriptase agent isolated from Phyllanthus myritifolius, were studied in rats. The phase II conjugated metabolites were characterized after solvolysis and enzymatic hydrolysis. The oral bioavailabilities of retrojusticidin B, suspended in Tween 80 and in corn oil, were found to be 22.1 % and 33.1 %, respectively. The elimination half-lives (T1/2) were 22.9 and 36.2 minutes, respectively. The T1/2, clearance, and the volume of distribution (Vz) of retrojusticidin B estimated from i. v. measurements were 24.5 min, 2.6 ± 0.4 L/min, and 90.6 ± 6. 4 L, respectively. 9,9′-Secoretrojusticidin B was shown to be phase I metabolite
Pragmatic Case Studies as a Source of Unity in Applied Psychology
No full textTo unify or not to unify applied psychology: that is the question. In this article we review pendulum swings in the historical efforts to answer this question—from a comprehensive, positivist, “top-down,” deductive yes between the 1930s and the early 60s, to a postmodern no since then. A rationale and proposal for a limited, “bottom-up,” inductive yes in applied psychology is then presented, employing a case-based paradigm that integrates both positivist and postmodern themes and components. This paradigm is labeled “pragmatic psychology” and, its specific use of case studies, the “Pragmatic Case Study Method” (“PCS Method”). We call for the creation of peer-reviewed journal-databases of pragmatic case studies as a foundational source of unifying applied knowledge in our discipline. As one example, the potential of the PCS Method for unifying different angles of theoretical regard is illustrated in an area of applied psychology, psychotherapy, via the case of Mrs. B. The article then turns to the broader historical and epistemological arguments for the unifying nature of the PCS Method in both applied and basic psychology.Peer reviewe
