Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
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
A novel 2-D interlinking zigzag-chain d-f mixed-metal coordination polymer generated from an organometallic ligand
A flexible organometallic ligand, 1,1′-ferrocenedicarboxylic acid, was incorporated in the self-assembly of a d-f mixed-metal coordination polymer featuring a 2-D interlinking zigzag-chain network and bearing two kinds of bridging conformations.link_to_subscribed_fulltex
Eps8, a substrate for the epidermal growth factor receptor kinase, enhances EGF-dependent mitogenic signals.
Direct binding of eps8 to the juxtamembrane domain of EGFR is phosphotyrosine- and SH2-independent.
An epidermal growth factor receptor/ret chimera generates mitogenic and transforming signals: Evidence for a ret-specific signaling pathway
A chimeric expression vector which encoded for a molecule encompassing the extracellular domain of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor (EGFR) and the intracellular domain of the ret kinase (EGFR/ret chimera) was generated. Upon ectopic expression in mammalian cells, the EGFR/ret chimera was correctly synthesized and transported to the cell surface, where it was shown capable of binding EGF and transducing an EGF-dependent signal intracellularly. Thus, the EGFR/ret chimera allows us to study the biological effects and biochemical activities of the ret kinase under controlled conditions of activation. Comparative analysis of the growth-promoting activity of the EGFR/ret chimera expressed in fibroblastic or hematopoietic cells revealed a biological phenotype clearly distinguishable from that of the EGFR, indicating that the two kinases couple with mitogenic pathways which are different to some extent. Analysis of biochemical pathways implicated in the transduction of mitogenic signals also evidenced significant differences between the ret kinase and other receptor tyrosine kinases. Thus, the sum of our results indicates the existence of a ret- specific pathway of mitogenic signaling
