Quantitative pharmacological studies on small neurones
No full textSeven identified and a number of unidentified neurones in the suboeoophageal ganglia of the snail, Helix aspersa were studied by intracellular microelectrode recording techniques. These neurones responded to iontopharetio or bath application of a number of neurotransmitter substances ouch as acetylcholine (ACh), depamino, glutamate and uerotonin (5-HT) by depolarization-excitation (designated as D cells) or by hyperpolarization-inhibition (designated as H cells). Doseresponse curves were constructed for the transmitters in these cells and from these the pD2 values of transmitters (a measure of affinity of transmitters to the receptors in the tissue) were determined. Comparison of pDD values within each group of ACh-sensitive cells showed that the affinity of silent cells to ACh was greater than that of the active cells showing action potentials. Seven cholinergic antagonists were studied on the D and H responses of ACh to determine their potency and nature of blockade of these responses. Dose-response curves of ACh were determined in the presence of various concentrations of these antagonists and it was shown that some antagonists produced competitive and some non-competitive antagonisms of the ACh responses. For the competitive antagonists pA2 values (a measure of affinity and potency of these antagonists) were determined. The antagonists had different orders of potency in antagonizing the D and the H responses of ACh. The order of potency of antagonists on the ACh H response (C1--mediated response) showed that the ACh receptors mediating this response were similar to the nicotinic receptors found in the mammalian neuromuscular junctions while the order of potency of antagonists on the ACh D response suggested that the receptors mediating this response were similar to the nicotinic receptors of the mammalian autonomic ganglia.The antagonist d-tubocurarine was screened for its antagonistic activity on the D and H responses of 5-HT, dopamine and glutamate in six identified cells in this preparation. d-Tubocurarine up to 10-314 had no effec on the fast H responses of glutamate and dopamine while at l0-`SM - 10 reversibly and dose-gradedly potentiated the slow H responses of dopamine; potentiation was both gn the amplitude and the duration of the response. d-Tubocurarine l0-4 - 10-3M antagonized the fast D responses of 5-HT, dopamine and glutamate on these cells. The rate of recovery of responses from d-tubocurarine antagonism was studied and it was shown that 5-HT, dopamine and glutamate D responses took longer to recover from the d-tubocurarine antagonism than did the ACh response in the first exposure to the antagonist. After repeated exposures to d-tubocurarine the ACh D response was fully reversible while the D response to 5-HT, dopamine and glutamate responses were semi-reversible. Experiments were carried out on cell Fl (in visceral ganglion) by application of mixtures of ACh and 5 -ET (cell was D to both transmitters) to study receptor-ionophore relationships of these transmitters. Results of these studies suggested that ACh and 5-HT used separate ionophores in this cell. Studies with d-tubocurarinne were discussed in terms of mechanisms of specific and non-specific actions of this antagonist in Helix aspersa neurones.</p

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
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
Author, publisher and bookseller : a tripartite synergy in Nigerian book industry
No full textThis work is about the roles of Author, Publisher and Bookseller in Book development in
Nigeria. The paper started by delving into the history of Book Publishing in Nigeria after
which it proceeded by defining who an author, a publisher, and a bookseller is and
expatiated on the indispensable roles of these key actors in Nigerian Book Industry and in
the emerging Information Society. Furthermore, the various constraints to book
development were identified while the paper advised on how the Book Industry can be
further promoted in Nigeria. However, the paper concluded and made recommendations
on how the Book sector can help in enhancing scholarship in the country
