We introduce a new class of measures of scholarly influence, which we term step-based indices. This class includes the prominent h-index, the publication count, and the i10-index. We show that the class of step-based indices is characterized by two axioms, consistency with worse scientists and consistency with better scientists. We also introduce a new index, the junior/senior-index, which is a...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effect of anti-TNF-α in the treatment of endometrial implants in the peritoneum of rats. METHODS Endometrial implants were surgically induced in 120 female Wistar-Albino rats. The animals were randomly divided into four groups. Group C (n = 36) received an intraperitoneal injection of 0.2 ml of saline. Group L (n = 41) received a subcutaneous injection of 1mg/kg of l...

En la Cordilleras Béticas litorales, estudios recientes indican un incremento de erosividad precipitación. Así, es necesario avanzar en estimación pérdida suelo por erosión hídrica, principal agente geomorfológico dicha zona. Este estudio aplica ecuación RUSLE dos cuencas media montaña, con diferentes condiciones pluviométricas, durante el periodo 1997-2018; ambas presentan rasgos ecogeomorfoló...

Polyethylenes (PE) with long chain branching (LCB) densities up to 0.44 carbons/10 000 carbons and narrow molecular weight distributions were synthesized using a continuous stirred-tank reactor (CSTR) with the Dow Chemical’s constrained geometry catalyst system, CGCTi/TPFPB/MMAO, in Isopar E solution at 500 psig and 140–1908C. Rheological properties of these metallocene polyethylenes (mPE) were...

The importance of impact factor of journals and h-index of academics who aspire in their career to the rank of professor cannot be over emphasized. Google Scholar Citations Help (GSCH) is a software (A – W. Harzing’s publish – or – perish) that academics can use to determine the h-index of their publications. I used the software to calculate h-index of my publications, unfortunately what the so...

The experiment was conducted to determine the effect of nirogen levels and irrigation intervals applied with drip system on cotton yield, evapotranspiration water use efficiency in East Mediterranean Transitional Zone Agricultural Research Institute Located Kahramanmaras, Turkey during 2012 2013. In experiment, 3 different nitrogen (N0:0, N15:150, N30: 300 kg ha-1) 2 (I5: 5 I10:10 days) were in...
