    In this letter, dated February 2, 1950, from the Reverend T.W. Strieter of Our Savior Lutheran Church in Chicago to United States (US) Senator William Langer Strieter refers to enclosed materials he hopes Langer can put to use in preventing the impending execution of convicted Nazi war criminal Dr. Martin Sandberger. Among the documents, Strieter writes, is a letter written to him from Sandberger\u27s father, Karl V. Sandberger, who has heard on the radio that authorities charged with the re-examination of verdicts reached in the Nuremberg Trials have found the procedures followed in those trials to be above criticism. Strieter writes that Senator Joseph R. McCarthy hopes that the Inspector General\u27s Office might review these cases individually, but that Strieter himself doubts this will happen.

    Mechanistic Studies on the Copper-Catalyzed N-Arylation of Amides

    No full text
    The copper-catalyzed N-arylation of amides, i.e., the Goldberg reaction, is an efficient method for the construction of products relevant to both industry and academic settings. Herein, we present mechanistic details concerning the catalytic and stoichiometric N-arylation of amides. In the context of the catalytic reaction, our findings reveal the importance of chelating diamine ligands in controlling the concentration of the active catalytic species. The consistency between the catalytic and stoichiometric results suggests that the activation of aryl halides occurs through a 1,2-diamine-ligated copper(I) amidate complex. Kinetic studies on the stoichiometric N-arylation of aryl iodides using 1,2-diamine ligated Cu(I) amidates also provide insights into the mechanism of aryl halide activation.National Institutes of Health (U.S.) (GM 58160)American Chemical SocietyMerck & Co., Inc.Novartis (Firm

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    Get PDF
    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

    Letter from Senator Langer to T. W. Strieter Informing Him of Vote to Review Death Penalty Cases, August 26, 1949

    In this letter, dated August 26, 1949, from United States Senator William Langer to the Reverend T. W. Strieter of Our Savior Lutheran Church in Chicago, Langer refers to their prior correspondence regarding the case of convicted Nazi war criminal Dr. Martin Sandberger, who is currently awaiting execution. Langer writes that he has received word from US Senator Joseph R. McCarthy that the Special Senate Investigation Committee has voted unanimously to request that the Inspector General\u27s office review each of the death [sentence] cases, as well as investigate the conditions at Landsberg (misspelled in this letter as Lansberg ) Prison, and that the Secretary has agreed to hold up all executions until the investigation has been completed and the report rendered, which will probably take several months.

    "Closing the R&D Gap, Evaluating the Sources of R&D Spending"

    Get PDF
    Both spending and tax policies have been implemented in the United States with the goal of stimulating private sector research and development (R&D). Karier questions whether current R&D policy, especially the research and experimentation tax credit, can contribute to closing the gap between nondefense expenditures on R&D in the United States and such expenditures in other countries, such as Japan and Germany. He also explores possible changes to our current R&D policy to make it more effective.

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    Get PDF
    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

    Letter from R. R. Zellick, Assistant Trust Officer at The Anglo California National Bank of San Francisco, to Joseph R. Goodman, regarding property owned by Dave Tatsuno. Zellick mentions a dispute between current tenants and Tatsuno, and that Tatsuno has asked Goodman to help locate trustworthy tenants.Personal correspondence, organizational records, government documents, publications, and other papers created or collected by Joseph R.

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    Get PDF
    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
