Highly anisotropic distribution of energetic electrons and triggered VLF emissions
No full textThe work considers the highly anisotropic electron distribution functions observed by Bell and co-workers at Stanford in the magnetosphere. IOt is maintained that Bells' observations provide evidence for the existence of step like deformations in electron distribution function, and that his observations may be due to such steps. The origin of such steps at the top of hiss band emissions is explained, and the implications for triggering of emissions and chorus is explained

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
Square Dancing with the Stars to Enhance Dynamic Hirschman Linkages?
No full textIn this Presidential Address, the author takes the reader on a reconnaissance of his life and time as a regional scientist. He points out scenery he found scintillating along the way, hoping that some may pick up the banner and chew on a few of the ideas for a while. He suggests a revisit to Albert O. Hirschman’s notion of key sectors and more empirical analysis related to Marcus Berliant’s and Masahisa Fujita’s notion of knowledge creation and transfer.Presidential Address, San Antonio, Texas, March 29, 2014 (53rd Meetings of the Southern Regional Science Association
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

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
Multiple sensory illusions are evoked during the course of proton therapy
No full textVisual illusions from astronauts in space have been reported to be associated with the passage of high energy charged particles through visual structures (retina, optic nerve, brain). Similar effects have also been reported by patients under proton and heavy ion therapies. This prompted us to investigate whether protons at the Loma Linda University Proton Therapy and Research Center (PTRC) may also affect other sensory systems beside evoking similar perceptions on the visual system. A retrospective review of proton radiotherapy patient records at PTRC identified 29 sensory reports from 19 patients who spontaneously reported visual, olfactory, auditory and gustatory illusions during treatment. Our results suggest that protons can evoke neuronal responses suffi- cient to elicit conscious sensory illusion experiences, in four senses (auditory, taste, smell, and visual) analogous to those from normal sensory inputs. The regions of the brain receiving the highest doses corresponded with the anatomical structures associated with each type of illusion. Our findings suggest that more detailed queries about sensory illusions during proton therapy are warranted, possibly integrated with quantitative effect de- scriptions (such as electroencephalography) and can provide additional physiological basis for understanding the effects of protons on central nervous system tissues, needed for radiation risk assessment in advance of deep space human exploration
