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

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
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
Darcy–Carreau–Yasuda rheological model and onset of inelastic non-Newtonian mixed convection in porous media
No full textAn extension of Carreau and Carreau–Yasuda rheological models to porous media is proposed to study the onset of mixed convection of
both pseudoplastic fluids (PF) and dilatant fluids (DF) in a porous layer heated from below in the presence of a horizontal throughflow. In
comparison with Newtonian fluids, three more dimensionless parameters are introduced, namely, the Darcy–Weissenberg number Wi, the
power–law index n, and the Yasuda parameter a. Temporal stability analysis of the basic state showed that in the absence of a throughflow
(Wi 1⁄4 0), the critical Rayleigh number and the critical wavenumber at the onset of convection are the same as for Newtonian fluids, namely,
Rac 1⁄4 4p2 and kc 1⁄4 p, respectively. When the throughflow is added (Wi > 0), it is found that moving transverse rolls (stationary
longitudinal rolls) are the dominant mode of the instability for PF (for DF). Furthermore, depending on Wi, two regimes of instability were
identified. In the weakly non-Newtonian regime (i.e., Wi < Wit 1), a destabilizing effect is observed for PF, while the reverse occurs for
DF. These effects are more intense by reducing (increasing) the index n for PF (for DF). In this regime, a significant qualitative difference is
found between the Darcy–Carreau model and the power–law model. However, in the strongly non-Newtonian regime, the two models lead
to similar results. A mechanical energy budget analysis is performed to understand the physical effects of the interaction between the basic
throughflow and the disturbances. It is also shown that the intrinsic macroscale properties of the porous medium may play a key role in the
stabilizing/destabilizing effect. Finally, a comparison is made between the present theoretical predictions and recent mixed convection experiments in a Hele–Shaw cel
