Population Characteristic of the Volga zander Sander volgense (Percidae) in the Kuibyshev reservoir
No full text© 2016, Pleiades Publishing, Ltd.The analysis of the size composition, age structure, linear growth, and fecundity of the Volga zander Sander volgense has been performed in the Kuibyshev reservoir. To date, the growth rates of the species have decreased slightly compared to the 1970s. Over the period from 2000 to 2013, catch volumes of Volga zander tended to increase
Deux nouveaux signalements dans le genre <i>Tortella</i> (Pottiaceae, Bryophyta) pour l’Amérique du Sud
No full textLors de récentes excursions botaniques en Amérique du Sud (Uruguay et Paraguay), Tortella fruchartii (Müll.Hal.) R. H. Zander et T. lilliputana (Müll.Hal. ex G.Roth) R. H. Zander ont été récoltées, deux espèces autoïques du genre dont la distribution est restreinte au Nouveau Monde. Tortella fruchartii est redécrit sur la base de récentes récoltes d’Uruguay, où il n’avait pas été retrouvé depuis sa première description en 1888, tandis que T. lilliputana est signalé pour la première fois au Paraguay. Les deux espèces sont décrites en détail, avec des illustrations en microscopie optique et à balayage, et une carte de distribution des deux espèces est donnée.During recent botanical surveys undertaken in South America (Uruguay and Paraguay) some of the samples collected were identified as Tortella fruchartii (Müll. Hal.) R. H. Zander and T. lilliputana (Müll. Hal. ex G. Roth) R. H. Zander, two autoicous species of the genus with distribution area restricted to the New World. The former is re-described based on recent collections from Uruguay, where it has not been found since its original description in 1888; while the latter is recorded for the first time from Paraguay. Detailed descriptions, illustrations in LM and SEM, and a distribution map of the two species are here presented.</p

Green Tax Reform and Employment Double Dividend in European and Non-European Countries: A Meta-Regression Assessment
No full textIn this paper we present a meta-regression analysis of simulation studies concerning green tax reform (GTR). Our study investigates the employment effect of GTR across European and non-European countries. The existing literature postulates that employment double dividend (EDD) is achievable; however, the majority of the studies come from European countries. In this paper, we compared the performance of GTR led EDD in European and non-European contexts to observe whether there is any notable difference across country groups. Our results show that both tax and tax revenue recycle policies play a significant role in determining the employment effect. However, the optimal policy mix is not identical for European and non-European countries. Region specific policy design is required for optimal employment effect
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe 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

No full textThe Revision and Validation of the Vernon-Zander Harmonic Discrimination Test for Music Aptitude Testing As the Secondary School Level
No full textThe Vernon-Zander Harmonic Discrimination Test (1974) included seventy-two sets of musical stimuli and a twenty item questionnaire designed for college populations. The present study is a revision of the 1974 test to make it appropriate for use with a secondary school population. The questionnaire was changed to reflect the grade levels of the present population sample. The test was professionally recorded with appropriately changed directions and was administered to 1,289 subjects in grades 7-12 in selected Milwaukee urban and suburban schools. The groups tested included identified musicians and non-musicians. Also included was a select group of outstanding school musicians from the Greater Milwaukee Youth Wind Ensemble. 1,257 usable protocols were collected. Item analyses were run with the result that the questionnaire was kept intact and the number of musical stimuli was reduced to sixty items. The test (HDT-R) then consisted of eighty-four items of which eighty-one were scored. Internal consistency was reported as .68. Reliability was established by split-half, parallel forms and by the coefficient alpha technics which were consistent and estimated to be .82. Validity was reported in several forms including face validity, construct validity and empirical or statistical validity. Two and three-way ANOVA\u27s and Newman-Keuls Post Hoc tests were used to analyze the HDT (musical stimuli), the questionnaire and the HDT-R (total test). The sample included groups identified as musicians and non-musicians; students in grade levels 7-12; urban or suburban students; white and non-white racially identified students; and a select musical group. Main effects and interactions were studied resulting in identification of statistically significant differences within and between groups. Analysis comparing interest/exposure with experience/achievement items on the questionnaire to the results on the HDT and the HDT-R was accomplished. Norms tables were established. Results include: 1--Musicians scored significantly higher than non-musicians; 2--There was a significant increase in scores from lower to higher grade levels; 3--There was no significant difference found between urban and suburban students; 4--White musicians scored significantly higher than non-white musicians; 5--The select group of outstanding school musicians scored significantly higher than any other group; 6--The HDT score could be more accurately predicted from achievement/experience than from exposure/interest. Recommendations were made for further research
