A cognition-based framework for the development of visualization literacy
No full textData visualizations are prevalent in scientific simulation, medicine, physical therapy, product design, manufacturing, weather predictions, simulations, and engineering. They are also used in information and scientific visualization for WWW exploration, document searching, and education. This pervasiveness makes it important to understand how we comprehend these visualizations, what comprehension difficulties can be expected in diverse populations, and which visual properties increase comprehension difficulty. This will enable us to create training methods that help people gain basic comprehension strategies and analytic skills for visualizations.
The goal of this dissertation is to define an approach that can be used to determine the factors that make a visualization difficult to comprehend by certain individuals. This information is then used to test if training using this information helps individuals develop new and workable strategies for visualization analysis.
In this dissertation we present an approach that is designed as a series of steps designed (1) to determine what cognitive abilities are correlated with comprehension of the visualization, (2) to identify visual properties that make a basic visualization difficult to comprehend and (3) to measure the effect of basic incremental training using these visual properties.Ph.D.Includes bibliographical references (p. 140-146)by Maria C.

Santander: Norte de Santander, near Pamplona, 18 july 2019, <i>collector unknown</i> (holotype: HPUJ).</p> <p> <b>Taxonomic Note:</b> —during the years 2018 and 2019 four closely related species were described from Colombia, all from virtually the same locality. The first was <i>C. yariguii</i> Uribe-Velez & Sauleda (2018a: 1) that, in our opinion, resembles <i>C. naso</i> in the lip shape and is sympatric to it (Govaerts <i>et al.</i> 2022). Then, <i>C. cucutaense</i> Uribe-Velez & Sauleda (2018b: 1), <i>C. bolivarii</i> Uribe-Velez & Sauleda (2018c: 1) and <i>C. pamploanense</i> Salueda (2019: 1) were successively described, and always compared to each other, with the distinguishing features being rather weak, especially between <i>C. yariguii</i> and <i>C. bolivarii</i>. All this led us to treat them as conspecific, under the oldest name, <i>C. yariguii</i>.</p> <p> Another fact that caught our attention was the phenotypic plasticity shown by these taxa, which led us to consider them as hybrids between <i>C. lucis</i> P. Ortiz & G. Arango (1994: 29) and <i>C. naso</i> on the basis of habit, flower color and lip shape, intermediate between these two species, both being sympatric to <i>C. yariguii</i> in Colombia (Govaerts <i>et al.</i> 2022). Moreover, the artificial crossing made by J. Fernández G. produced a plant compatible with the phenotype of <i>C. yariguii</i> and <i>C. bolivarii</i> (see Figure G–H). The other phenotypes should be expressed according to the countless varieties of <i>C. naso</i>.</p> <p> All these nothotaxa present, in fact, similar features, intermediate between <i>C. lucis</i> and <i>C. naso</i>. The flower colour goes from reddish (mostly similar to <i>C. naso</i>) to greenish (mainly as in <i>C. lucis</i>). All of them have a lip presenting some concavity as observed in <i>C. naso</i> (<i>vs.</i> subcordate and convex in <i>C. lucis</i>). The inside of the lip is protruding on both sides by thick projections that form a transverse wall along the lip (as well as in <i>C. naso</i>), however these projections can vary in size and shape due to the existence of two obtuse appendages observed in <i>C. lucis</i>. The lip margin can be either smooth (as in <i>C. lucis</i>) or fimbriate (as in <i>C. naso</i>). The lip apex can be apiculate as in <i>C. naso</i> or more rounded because <i>C. lucis</i> has a lip apex ending into a fleshy structure. When analyzing the images in the descriptions we can note that all of them present antennae first parallel and becoming slightly divergent at apex as in <i>C. naso</i> (<i>vs.</i> antennae strongly divergent in <i>C. lucis</i>) (see Lindley 1843b, Lindley & Paxton 1851, Dunsterville & Garay 1961, Ortiz & Arango 1994, Uribe-Velez & Sauleda 2018a,b,c, Salueda 2019). Since the phenotype is unpredictable in hybrids, especially when the parents present different morphological variations (Rieseberg & Ellstrans 1993), we consider as quite acceptable the variations observed in the four discussed taxa.</p>Published as part of <i>Krahl, Dayse Raiane Passos, Schmal, Philippe, Chiron, Guy, Silva, João Batista Fernandes Da, Krahl, Amauri Herbert & Cantuária, Patrick De Castro, 2023, Catasetum × grasineideae (Orchidaceae: Catasetinae), a new nothospecies from Brazilian Amazon and taxonomic notes for the genus, pp. 89-104 in Phytotaxa 594 (2)</i> on pages 99-100, DOI: 10.11646/phytotaxa.594.2.1, <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/7891982">http://zenodo.org/record/7891982</a>
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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

Abstract
PURPOSE: To evaluate the role of topical mitomycin C in corneal wound healing (CWH) after photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) in highly myopic eyes.
DESIGN: Prospective, double-masked, randomized clinical trial.
PARTICIPANTS: Seventy-two eyes of 36 patients affected by high (>7 diopters) myopia.
METHODS: In each patient, one eye was randomly assigned to PRK with intraoperative topical 0.02% mitomycin C application, and the fellow eye was treated with a placebo. Postoperatively, mitomycin C-treated eyes received artificial tears (3 times daily, tapered in 3 months), whereas the fellow eye was treated with fluorometholone sodium 2% and artificial tears (3 times daily, tapered in 3 months).
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) and best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), contrast sensitivity, manifest refraction, and biomicroscopy. Contrast sensitivity was determined using the Pelli-Robson chart. Corneal confocal microscopy documented CWH.
RESULTS: Mean follow-up was 18 months (range, 12-36). No side effects or toxic effects were documented. At 12-month follow-up examination, UCVAs (logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution) were 0.4+/-0.48 and 0.5+/-0.53 (P = .03) in mitomycin C-treated eyes and corticosteroid-treated eyes, respectively. At 1 year, corneal haze developed in 20% of corticosteroid-treated eyes, versus 0% of mitomycin C-treated eyes. At 12, 24, and 36 months, corneal confocal microscopy showed activated keratocytes and extracellular matrix significantly more evident in untreated eyes (Ps = 0.004, 0.024, and 0.046, respectively).
CONCLUSION: Topical intraoperative application of 0.02% mitomycin C can reduce haze formation in highly myopic eyes undergoing PRK.

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe 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
