Bibliometrics, Citation Analysis and Co-Citation Analysis: A Review of Literature I

Although the coinage of the term Bibliometrics is fairly recent, its usage and practice can be traced back to the 1890's. Bibliometrics has been used vastly äs a quantitative method for evaluating the literature in different disciplines, particularly in the last two de-cades. This artide is intended to review bibliometrics and one of its major methods citation analysis in two different parts: the ftrst part of this artide aims to present a background of the bibliometrics and citation analysis. The applications of dtation analysis are also studied in this part. In the second part of this article: document and author co-citation analysis äs well äs journal-by-jour-nal and country-by-country citation analysis are studied. Mapping science äs an application of co-citation analysis is also studied. finally the limitations, problems and reliability and validity of dtation analysis äs a research method will be considered.
Tratamiento hormonal sustitutivo. Evidencias recientes

sis tumoral (TNF). De esta forma, el durante mucho tiempo enigmático factor derivado de osteoblastos en el que descansaba la diferenciación osteoclástica, ha resultado ser el ligando del receptor para la activación del factor nuclear kappa B (RANKL), o ligando de RANK, el correspondiente receptor fisiológico cuya activación pone en marcha el repertorio de funciones que confluyen en la diferenciación de osteoclastos. El complejo sistema de interacciones generado como consecuencia de estos procesos está estimulado, directa o indirectamente, por la caída estrogénica. Más aún, experiencias desarrolladas sobre distintos modelos confirman que los estrógenos actúan como reguladores eficaces de diferentes puntos cruciales del sistema en su conjunto. Junto a la contundencia de estas consideraciones, hay que resaltar que, como muchos de los sistemas de primer nivel del organismo, la regulación del metabolismo óseo está sujeta a una amplia lista de factores alternativos. Este detalle es particularmente importante si se tiene en cuenta que, además de garantizar el soporte y el desplazamiento del organismo en su conjunto, el hueso es el gran reservorio de calcio, un segundo mensajero crucial para muchas funciones vitales. La necesidad de que oscile sólo entre estrechos márgenes obliga a disponer de un sistema ágil y eficiente para corregir eventuales desviaciones en la concentración plasmática. Como consecuencia, el organismo dispone de un sistema integral que funciona en perfecta armonía y que, en consecuencia, tiene una clara repercusión en la regulación del metabolismo óseo. La hornoma paratiroidea, la calcitonina o la vitamina D son ejemplos de este sistema. Una conclusión evidente de lo dicho, por tanto, es que la disfunción estrogénica debe ser vista en este contexto más amplio y, más aún, como resalta una reciente revisión sobre el tema, la regulación del metabolismo óseo debe ser vista como un clásico servosistema, donde las disfunciones de un elemento pueden ser corregidas por actuaciones compensatorias de los otros. Este concepto explica la eficacia de otros acercamientos terapéuticos, bien en el caso de los fármacos antirresortivos, o bien en el más reciente de los fármacos osteoformadores.

A low-level control policy for data fusion

A procedure to regulate the feedback signals of multiple sensors, at different rates, inside of a low-level control loop using data fusion has been developed and tested in simulation. The procedure is independent of the fusion method, and applicable to sensors with widely different sampling rates. Thus, it permits the use of "secondary" sensors, which may be available to the system for other purposes, to monitor sensor fault or failure occurrence, provide smooth transition for the system on fault, and provide a way to dynamically reconfigure the sensing system based on sensor signals uncertainty. In this procedure, sensor signals are time-correlated using Kalman filters, before being fused together. To regulate the fused feedback signal when there is no data available from the slower sensors, a Kalman filter is used to observe and generate a prediction of the fused measurement signal in place of the slower sensors measurement. Since the slow sensor lag compensation and fused measurement stabilization are independent of the fusion process, any real-time data fusion process can be used with this procedure.
Control imagenológico de un quiste óseo simple: reporte de un caso

El quiste óseo simple (QOS), es considerado un pseudoquiste por no tener tejido de revestimiento epitelial. Esta lesión es más frecuente en pacientes de sexo masculino afectando mayormente el maxilar inferior, comprometiendo la zona posterior mandibular con mayor frecuencia y también la zona sinfi siaria. Algunos autores lo han relacionado a trauma o degeneración quística dejando una cavidad ósea vacía. Su diagnóstico suele ser por hallazgo radiológico, presentándose como una imagen radiolúcida unilocular o multilocular bien defi nida o irregular, de bordes corticalizados fi nos. Su característica principal es el festoneado circundante a las raíces de las piezas dentarias. En este artículo presentamos a un paciente de sexo masculino de 21 años, al cual le detectaron incidentalmente a través de la radiografía panorámica una lesión quística. Luego de 2 años de seguimiento imagenológico, se evidenció la disminución de la lesión.

Information Cueing in Collaborative Multimedia Learning

: Collaborative multimedia learning is a complex and demanding scenario. Differently coded representations, interactive components, and communication have to be managed and processed simultaneously. Focusing learners' attention to relevant information might help to reduce complexity. This study was designed to investigate whether collaborative learning with multimedia can be improved by information cueing, i.e. highlighting essential information in differently coded learning material, and by providing relevant causal relations in interactive learning material. Learning dyads were compared in four experimental groups which differed with regard to information cueing during two subsequent collaboration phases. Learning material comprised multiple static representations (phase 1) and the possibility to manipulate these representations interactively (phase 2). Preliminary results ( N = 24) indicate that cueing relevant information during collaboration focuses learners’ attention to essential aspects, helps to structure their learning discourse, and improves learning outcome.

Innovation in Early Math Education: The Whole Teacher Approach to Professional Development.

In this presentation, we introduce a conceptual framework for in-service professional development—the Whole Teacher approach, which attends simultaneously to the attitudes, knowledge, and practice of a teacher’s growth. Putting the framework in operation, we describe a project designed to improve teachers’ competence and increase children’s performance in early mathematics. Utilizing a quasi-experimental design, preand post-measures with intervention and comparison groups have been collected. The results indicated that significant growth in children’s mathematical performance favored to the intervention group. The discussion focuses on the significance of the Whole Teacher approach to teacher professional development.
Machine Learning Methods for Spoken Dialogue Simulation and Optimization

Computers and electronic devices are becoming more and more present in our day-to-day life. This can of course be partly explained by their ability to ease the achievement of complex and boring tasks, the important decrease of prices or the new entertainment styles they offer. Yet, this real incursion in everybody's life would not have been possible without an important improvement of Human-Computer Interfaces (HCI). This is why HCI are now widely studied and become a major trend of research among the scientific community. Designing “user-friendly” interfaces usually requires multidisciplinary skills in fields such as computer science, ergonomics, psychology, signal processing etc. In this chapter, we argue that machine learning methods can help in designing efficient speech-based humancomputer interfaces.
Fast video quality estimation using the combined objective metric

Automatic video quality assessment plays an important role in modern multimedia systems which use lossy video compression and, usually wireless, video transmission. An interesting idea is the video quality estimation by simplified image quality metrics using frame by frame approach. In the paper the results of the simplified Combined Video Quality Metric application, proposed in one of earlier papers, are discussed. The obtained results were verified using well known LIVE Video Database.
Interconnection delay in very high-speed VLSI

Interconnection delay of VLSI has been a major bottleneck in the design of high-speed digital systems. The authors present a rigorous analysis of the signal propagation delay in VLSI circuits. They show that wire inductance is an important factor in determining the delay when the delay is in the subnanosecond range and that this delay cannot be well estimated by the conventional modeling of the interconnection by RC circuits. The effect of feature size scaling on circuit performance is also evaluated, and the inherent limitations on scaling due to interconnection delay is discussed. Finally, the relationship between the delay and the technology parameters, such as wire resistance, wire capacitance, wire inductance, wire width, wire length, and load capacitance is investigated to provide guidelines for the interconnection technology development. <<ETX>>
Monitoring Taiwanese bovine arboviruses and non‐arboviruses using a vector‐based approach

In current sampling approaches, there exists a divergence between the surveillance of arthropod‐borne and that of non‐arthropod‐borne viruses. It is commonly held that the collection of vector specimens applies only to arbovirus surveillance and that the surveillance of non‐arboviruses must rely on traditional methods that involve the sampling of blood, faeces or saliva, or other examinations. The vector‐based approach is a sampling method that has the ability to survey both arboviruses and non‐arboviruses by distinguishing engorged vector specimens from entire vector samples. Accordingly, five arboviruses and three non‐arboviruses were detected in a study using a vector‐based approach conducted during 2012–2015. Hence, this report provides the first description of the Taiwanese vector species for the bovine arboviruses detected. The present investigations demonstrate that the vector‐based approach applies not only to the surveillance of arboviruses, but also has potential as a possible tool for monitoring non‐arboviruses on livestock farms in the future.
Communicating Research Findings

All too often, practically useful psychological interventions and assessments are dismissed because effects are quantified with statistics that are unfamiliar to audiences. Communicating the value of psychological interventions and assessments can be aided by alternative statistical and graphical displays. Here, we discuss “What to Say” and “What to Show” to improve the communication of research findings. Specifically, we discuss the use of ratio statistics, percentages, and natural frequencies for communicating the magnitude of effects. We then discuss different methods for presenting mean differences, bivariate effects, and incremental validity in graphical displays. Finally, we suggest good practices in developing displays, provide resources for interested readers, and describe needed research. Keywords: validity; incremental validity; graphics; decision making
The Use of Syntactic Structure in Relationship Extraction

This thesis describes a method of relationship extraction that uses surface and syntactic features of text along with entity detection information to perform sentence-level relationship extraction tasks. The tasks are to build and test classifiers for the following relationships: employer–employee, organization–location, family, and person– location. Methods of reducing noise in these features sets are also discussed, and experimental evidence of their effectiveness is presented. Performance of the system is analyzed in terms of precision and recall, and errors of the system are discussed along with proposed solutions. Finally a reformulation of the problem is presented along with a discussion of future work. Thesis Supervisor: Michael J. Collins Title: Assistant Professor
Avaliação de adjuvantes em novas formulações de vacina tríplice bacteriana.

Prestes AFRO. Evaluation of adjuvants in new triple bacterial vaccine formulation [Master thesis]. São Paulo: Instituto Butantan, Universidade de São Paulo; 2009. The triple bacterial vaccine (DTP) is composed of diphtheria (DT) and tetanus toxoids (TT), and suspension of inactivated Bordetella pertussis cells (P). The immunization with DTP showed high effectiveness in the control of whooping-cough, but was associated with adverse effects, leading up to the development of an acellular pertussis vaccine, less toxic and formulated with purified bacterial antigens. Due to its expensive price, the Butantan Institute developed two new pertussis vaccines proposals: acellular (Pa – utilizing filtered bacterial detoxified culture) and low cellular (Plow – less lipopolysaccharide), obtained from the same production line of cellular pertussis vaccine, without raising the prices of the process. The objective of this project was the immunomodulatory study of the triple bacterial vaccines (DTP, DTPa and DTPlow) in animal model, with different adjuvants: vitamin A, monophosphoryl lipid A (MPL) of B. pertussis, porcine pulmonary surfactant and BCG vaccine, comparatively with the traditional aluminum hydroxide. The results showed that the modification of the pertussis components in the triple bacterial vaccine does not intervene in the antibody induction of the toxoids, inducing high IgG titers against vaccines antigens, without significant differences between the adjuvants. The vaccines induced balanced levels of IgG1/IgG2a anti-pertussis and DTPlow showed to be less rectogenic, inducing lower levels of serum IL-6. The use of MPL suggested to induce higher protection against nasotracheal colonization in DTPa group and induced IFN-g in the DTP and DTPa groups, suggesting a possible immunemodulatory activity for Th1. We hope this project offer subsidies to the utilization of a less reactogenic formulation to triple bacterial vaccine, in industrial scale, and a possible substitution of the aluminum hydroxide, what is known to contribute to the adverse reactions of the vaccine, mainly in children, in the first vaccine doses.
Keeping Sex Secret: the hidden aspects of sex-research

Sex-research has had a long, varied, and often-secret history (Caplan, 1987; Segal et al, 1997; Parker and Gagnon, 1995; Hickman, 1999; Soble, 1996). Many sexologists of have downplayed theories (see Crooks and Baur, 1996), or aspects of their personal lives (Jones, 1997); and frequently research has fitted, rather than challenged the status quo (Caplan, 1987; Segal et al, 1997; Parker and Gagnon, 1995). It would be pleasant to believe contemporary sex-research is more open to reflecting diverse sexual experiences, and challenge sexual inequalities. However, as this paper will show, many modern theories and studies are actually biased, poorly designed, and frequently prejudicial rather than positive (Tiefer, 2000, 2001). Postmodernist approaches have permitted us to review the way sexresearch was completed in the past (Segal et al, 1997; Parker and Gagnon, 1995, Boynton, 1998), and to question how we currently view ‘sex’ (Tiefer, 2004).
NAS Parallel Benchmarks Results 3-95

The NAS Parallel Benchmarks (NPB) were developed in 1991 at NASA Ames Research Center to study the performance of parallel supercomputers. The eight benchmark problems are specified in a "pencil and paper" fashion, i.e., the complete details of the problem are given in a NAS technical document. Except for a few restrictions, benchmark implementors are free to select the language constructs and implementation techniques best suited for a particular system. In this paper, we present new NPB performance results for the following systems: (a) Parallel-Vector Processors: CRAY C90, CRAY T90, and Fujitsu VPP500; (b) Highly Parallel Processors: CRAY T3D, IBM SP2-WN (Wide Nodes), and IBM SP2-TN2 (Thin Nodes 2); (c) Symmetric Multiprocessors: Convex Exemplar SPP1000, CRAY J90, DEC Alpha Server 8400 5/300, and SGI Power Challenge XL (75 MHz). We also present sustained performance per dollar for Class B LU, SP and BT benchmarks. We also mention future NAS plans for the NPB.
Rural Practitioners’ Involvement in Response to Intervention

Objective: This study describes perceived levels of involvement in school-based Response to Intervention (RtI) initiatives as reported by occupational therapy (OT) practitioners from different types of communities (i.e., rural, suburban, and urban). In addition, it identifies differences among practice patterns of rural OT practitioners, compared to those from different communities, and provides suggestions for future research and training. Method: A postal survey was sent to a random sample of 1,000 OT practitioners from the American Occupational Therapy Association’s Early Intervention and School Systems Special Interest Section. Results: The survey had a 29.5% response rate (n = 295 OT practitioners). Twenty surveys (6.8%) were excluded due to missing or incomplete data. Two hundred and seventy five surveys were analyzed. OT practitioners in rural communities (58.1%; n = 50) were more likely to report participation in early identification of students benefiting from RtI interventions than practitioners in other communities. Practitioners in rural settings were also more likely to participate in universal screenings (33.7%; n = 29) and to cite a lack of resources as a limiting factor to their work in RtI (77.9%; n = 67). Conclusion: OT Practitioners in rural communities may be involved in key RtI practices more often than OT practitioners in urban and suburban contexts. Rural practitioners report this increased level of involvement despite a perceived lack of resources. More research is needed to understand how rural OT practitioners are involved in universal screening and to identify the resources that they believe they are lacking.
The Virtual Vision Lab: A Simulated/Real Environment for Interactive Education in Robot Vision

The Virtual Vision Lab (VVL) is a project aimed at producing instructional lab modules for new and emerging techniques in robotic vision. VVL uses an integrated multi-media presentation format that allows the student to learn about robot vision techniques from textual sources, runtime algorithm codes, live and canned digital imagery, interactive modification of program parameters and insertion of student developed code for certain parts of the tutorial. It aims to translate a research paper in robot vision into a usable and understandable laboratory exercise that highlights the important aspects of the research in a realistic environment that combines both simulated virtual components and real camera imagery. The task the tutorial uses to demonstrate some basic principles of robotics and computer vision is the “pick and place task” which is implemented using a movable robot mounted camera that produces stereo imagery inside a robotic workcell.
Host species influence on flea (Siphonaptera) infection parameters of terrestrial micromammals in a temperate forest of Mexico

Abstract Studies of abundance and distribution of organisms are fundamental to ecology. The identity of host species is known to be one of the major factors influencing ectoparasitic flea abundance, but explanations are still needed regarding how host taxa influence abundance parameters of different flea species. This study was carried out at La Malinche National Park (LMNP), Tlaxcala, Mexico, where previously 11 flea species had been recorded on 8 host species. Our aims were to list micromammal flea species, to determine flea infection parameters [flea prevalence (FP) and flea mean abundance (FMA)] and to analyse the influence of host species on these parameters. A total of 16 species of fleas were identified from 1178 fleas collected from 14 species of 1274 micromammals captured with Sherman® traps from March 2014 to December 2015 in 18 sites at LMNP. Some host species influence FP and FMA, in particular, Microtus mexicanus and Peromyscus melanotis showed particularly higher infection values than other host species. Plusaetis aztecus and Plusaetis sibynus were identified as the most abundant flea species.
