Comparison Of Anti-Inflammatory And Anti-Nociceptive Activities Of Curcuma Wenyujin Y.H. Chen Et C. Ling And Scutellaria Baicalensis Georgi
Full text linkThe study aimed to compare the anti-inflammatory and anti-nociceptive
activities of Curcuma wenyujin Y.H. Chen et C. Ling (Curcuma wenyujin)
and Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi (Scutellaria baicalensis). This
study used three parts to compare the two herbs. Firstly, animals were
randomly divided into a Scutellaria baicalensis group, a Curcuma
wenyujin group, an indomethacin group, and a model-control group to
perform an ear edema test, a carrageenin-induced paw edema test, a
cotton pellet-induced granuloma formation test, and an acetic
acid-induced writhing test. Secondly, model rats with pelvic
inflammation were established, and the serum levels of TNF-α and
IL-6 in each group was detected with the Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent
Assay (ELISA). Thirdly, pharmacokinetics analysis of Scutellaria
baicalensis and Curcuma wenyujin was conducted on the model rats. The
ear edema test, carrageenin-induced paw edema test, cotton
pellet-induced granuloma formation test, and acetic acid-induced
writhing test all showed that Curcuma wenyujin had stronger
anti-inflammatory and anti-nociceptive effects than Scutellaria
baicalensis. There is significant difference between the effects of
Curcuma wenyujin and Scutellaria baicalensis on the levels of
TNF-α and IL-6 for the model rats. Curcuma wenyujin decreased the
levels of TNF-α and IL-6 more than Scutellaria baicalensis. The
pharmacokinetics analysis showed that curcumol’s Tmax, Cmax, and
the area under the curve (AUC) were all higher than baicalin’s.
This study indicated that for pelvic inflammation, Curcuma wenyujin had
better anti-inflammatory and anti-nociceptive effects than Scutellaria
baicalensis

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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

Cotton is one of the important fiber crops of Taiwan, where the crop occupying about 2000 hectares. According to recent investigation, cotton plant is subject to a number of diseases in the later period of growth such as Diplodia boll rot, Alternaria leaf spot, Anthracnose, Fusarium boll rot, Angular leaf spot, and cercospora leaf spot, etc. Among them, cotton boll rot incited by Dipodia gossypina and Alternatia leaf spot incited by Alternaria. macrospora Zimm. are considered to be the most serious diseases of cotton boll and leaves. The average rate of cotton boll rot occurance in later period of Growth is 38.97% and Alternaria leaf spot is 44.43%.
Diplodia boll rot has been recognized as one of the destructive diseases of cotton in Taiwan. It is caused by Diplodia gossypina cook which may enter through wounds or opening made by insects in jury such as sping bollworm, pink bollworm, pink boliworm, cotton boliworm. Initial symptom shows discolored spots on the outside of the boll. Then the damaged bolls turn black and, after a short time, become thickly covered with pycnidia. Black pycnidiospores exude out of the pycnidia, making the whole surface of the boll to be smutty, followed frequently by staining and rotting of the seed and fiber.
Several fungicides, such as Granosan M. Difolatan, Polyram combi, copper Sandoz, mercuric Bordeaux, Pan mercuric Bordeaux and Sin mercuric Bordeaux were tested for controlling those diseases. The results revealed that Granosan M. was the best one for effective controlling of Alternaria leaf spot. Difolatan 0.1% was proved to be significantly effective for controlling Anthracnose and Diplodia boll rot. The effectiveness of the fungicidal controlling of Diplodia boll rot may be listed in descending order as in the following: Difolatan, Copper sandoz, Polyram combi, Granosan M, Mercuric Bordeaux, Sin mercuric Bordeaux, Pan mercuric Bordeaux.
Diplodia boll rot is the most disastrous one. It causes great losses by reducing yield, staining and reducing the strength of the lint. According to the results of Investigation, Occurance of the disease in the field is closely related With insect injury. Hence the application of fungicides in combination with insecticide may give the economic and significant effect for controlling Diplodia boll rot
Variations on the Author
Full text link“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 linkWe 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 linkWe 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
