(Figs 17 a–d) in general appearance and the genital organs: but differs in: the embolus being longer; the RTA short stick-shaped versus long spatulate in L. subdianicus; cymbium with modification absent in L. subdianicus; atrium almost as long as wide versus much wider than long in L. subdianicus; the copulatory ducts with fold absent in L. subdianicus. This species is also similar to L. silvanus Ono, 1980 and L. coronatus (Grube, 1861) in slender embolus, but can be separated from those species by: the RTA digitform (spatulate in L. silvanus), the copulatory ducts twist in 1 circle (about 2–3 circles in L. silvanus); the cymbium wider than in L. coronatus, VTA apically curved prolaterally (curved retrolaterally in L. coronatus).

Opisthosoma nearly oval, dorsum anteriorly with a pair of brown longitudinal stripes; medially with a pair of white spots; posteriorly with 3 pairs of blackish brown stripes; sides with broken white spots and 5 black lines; venter gray with a U - shaped light black mark posteriorly. Palp (Figs 7 c–f, i). VTA strongly sclerotized, apically curved, RTA with a basal projection, distal parts of RTA stick - shaped. The embolus slender and curved anticlockwise, large helix - shaped. Female: (HNU-CGY0512401): Total length 4.00. Prosoma 1.70 long, 1.50 wide; opisthosoma 2.20 long, 2.00 wide. Body markings as in male. Clypeus brown, sternum light yellow. Chelicerae brown, gnathocoxae and labium brown. Leg yellow, leg measurements: I: 5.20 (1.50, 2.00, 1.00, 0.70); II: 5.60 (1.70, 2.00, 1.20, 0.70); III: 3.80 (1.20, 1.40, 0.70, 0.50); IV: 4.30 (1.40, 1.50, 0.90, 0.50), formula: 2, 1, 4, 3. Opisthosoma wider than in male. Epigyne-vulva (Figs 7 g–h, j–k). Atrium large; copulatory ducts much wider anteriorly, twisted tubeshaped posteriorly; spermathecae globular. Variation. Total length males: 3.00– 3.90 (n = 31); females: 3.60–4.20. (n = 73). The markings of the opisthosoma dorsum vary in size and pigmentation. Distribution. China (recorded from Yunnan Province: Gongshan, Fugong, Lushui, Longling, Tengchong Counties and Baoshan City).Published as part of Tang, Guo, Yin, Chang-Ming, Peng, Xian-Jin, Ubick, Darrell & Griswold, Charles, 2008, The crab spiders of the genus Lysiteles from Yunnan Province, China (Araneae: Thomisidae), pp. 1-41 in Zootaxa 1742 on pages 14-16, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.18154

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    Full text link
    The 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

    “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

    Full text link
    We 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

    Full text link
    We 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 text
    We 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
