The Ideological Profile of Faculty in the Humanities and Social Sciences: A Reply to Zipp and Fenwick
No full textABSTRACT: In a recent Public Opinion Quarterly article “Is the Academy a Liberal Hegemony?,” John Zipp and Rudy Fenwick pit themselves against “right-wing activists and scholars,” citing our scholarship (Klein and Stern 2005a; Klein and Western 2005). Here we analyze Zipp and Fenwick’s characterization of our research and find it faulty in three important respects. We then turn to their “liberal v. conservative” findings and show they concord with our analysis. If one feels that it is a problem that humanities and social science faculty at four-year colleges and universities are vastly predominantly Democratic voters, mostly with what may called establishment-left or progressive views, then such concerns should not be allayed by Zipp and Fenwick’s article. This Reply was submitted to Public Opinion Quarterly on October 16, 2006, except that the submission did not include the Summary and without Appendix 1 that appear here at the end of the paper.-
Evaluación de la aireación para caracterización fisicoquímica de (Vitis vinífera), utilizando bolsas perforadas racimo zipp
No full textEl objetivo de esta presente investigación fue evaluar un sistema de aireación para la caracterización fisicoquímica de Vitis vinífera red globe, utilizando bolsas perforadas racimo zipp, esto se logró evaluando análisis fisicoquímicos y la tasa de respiración, con 15 perforaciones en las bolsas racimo zipp de diámetros de longitud de 2 mm y 4 mm, con la finalidad de obtener una vida útil prolongada de la uva (Vitis vinfera), dentro de las bolsas perforadas. Los resultados muestran que la caracterización fisicoquímica de la uva (Vitis vinífera) red globe, varían dentro de las bolsas perforadas racimo zipp. Observándose que, sin tratamiento, se obtuvo valores en promedio de solidos totales de 17.900 °Brix, un pH de 3.920, densidad de 1.010, y una acidez total de 4.650. Con un tratamiento de 2 mm de diámetro de las perforaciones, se obtuvo valores promedios de solidos totales 15.888 °Brix, un pH de 4.306, una densidad de 1.063 y una acidez total de 4.469. Por último, se observa que, con un tratamiento de 4 mm de diámetro de las perforaciones, lo valores promedio de sólidos totales es 15.738 °Brix, un pH de 4.391, una densidad de 1.075, y una acidez total de 4.213. Asimismo, se evaluó la difusión del aire mediante las tasas de respiración del CO2 y O2, en el cual se evidencio que, a 5 °C, 15 °C en 4 mm de diámetro de las perforaciones, y 25 °C en 2 mm de diámetro de las perforaciones, tienen una velocidad de respiración “extremadamente alto”. Al mismo tiempo, a 5 °C y 15 °C a 2 mm de diámetro de las perforaciones, presentan una velocidad de respiración “alto”. Y, a 25 °C a un diámetro de 4 mm, la velocidad de respiración es “muy alto”. En base a estos resultados, contemplando un nivel de significancia de 0.05 y un p_Valor de 0.00, se concluye que, el sistema de aireación en bolsas perforadas racimo zipp, influyen significativamente en las características fisicoquímicas de Vitis vinífera.Tesi

Penetapan Angka Bentuk dan Tabel Berat Rotan (Calamus Heteracanthus Zipp dan Korthalsia Zippeli Burret) pada Kondisi Kering Udara Asal Hutan Dataran Rendah Ransiki-Manokwari Fixing Form Number And Weight Table Of Rattan (Calamus Heteracanthus Zipp And Korthalsia Zippeli Burret) On Air Dry Condition From Low Land Forest Ransiki, Manokwari
No full textThe purpose of this research is to calculate form number and weight table of two commercial species of rattans (Calamus heteracanthus Zipp and Korthalsia zippeli Burret) on air-dry condition. Observation variables which are used in this research were length, diameter, weight of rattan on fresh and air-dry conditions. Data collected is analized by using statistics to fid mean, standard deviation and interval. The result shows that C. heteracanthus Zipp length, weight and diameter bigger than K. zippeli Burret on fresh and air-dry conditions. The form number of C. heteracanthus Zipp on fresh condition is 0.90 and on air-dry condition is 0.56, where as K. zippeli Burret has form number 0.90 on fresh condition and 0.45 on air-dry condition. Water content of C. heteracanthus Zipp and K. zippeli Burret 0.45 on fresh condition are 101.35% and 146% and on air-dry condition 18.67% and 19.38%. Weight table of both rattans can be applied specifically in low land forest of Ransiki or at any other area, which has similar natural condition with this area

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.
