Summary
This study addresses an error in the PubMed record for the last author's name, ensuring accurate scientific literature indexing. Correcting this ensures proper attribution and discoverability of the research.
Area of Science:
- Bibliometrics
- Scientific Publishing
- Medical Informatics
Background:
- Accurate author indexing is crucial for scientific literature.
- Errors in journal production can lead to incorrect PubMed records.
- Proper attribution ensures research discoverability and citation tracking.
Purpose of the Study:
- To correct an erroneous author name in a PubMed record.
- To ensure the last author's name is accurately indexed.
- To maintain the integrity of scientific publication databases.
Main Methods:
- Reviewing the original author listing on page 229.
- Identifying the incorrect tagging during journal production.
- Implementing a correction to the PubMed record.
Main Results:
- The last author's name was incorrectly tagged.
- The PubMed record did not reflect the correct name.
- A correction has been identified for the PubMed indexing.
Conclusions:
- The PubMed record will be updated with the correct author name.
- Accurate indexing enhances the reliability of scientific databases.
- Vigilance in publication processes prevents data errors.

01:15Distance Corrections
299
To achieve precise distance measurements, especially in surveying and construction, certain corrections must be applied to account for potential sources of error like the standardization errors, temperature variations, and slope adjustments.Standardization error emerges when measurement equipment undergoes changes, such as wear, repairs, or weather impacts. To address this, surveyors compare the equipment’s readings to a standard. This process identifies any deviation that might lead to...

01:20Power Factor Correction
549
The power transmission to a factory involves the transfer of apparent power, a combination of active and reactive power. The power factor measures how effectively electrical power is converted into useful work output. The ratio of the real power (KW) that does the work to the apparent power (KVA) supplied to the circuit.

Phase-Contrast Microscopes
In-phase-contrast microscopes, interference between light directly passing through a cell and light refracted by cellular components is used to create high-contrast, high-resolution images without staining. It is the oldest and simplest type of microscope that creates an image by altering the wavelengths of light rays passing through the specimen. Altered wavelength paths are created using an annular stop in the condenser. The annular stop produces a hollow cone of...

01:14NMR Spectrometers: Resolution and Error Correction
1.1K
When magnetic nuclei in a sample achieve resonance and undergo relaxation, the signal detected in NMR is an approximately exponential free induction decay. Fourier transform of an exponential decay yields a Lorentzian peak in the frequency domain. Lorentzian peaks in an NMR spectrum are defined by their amplitude, full width at half maximum, and position, where the peak width is governed by the spin-spin relaxation time alone. In real experiments, however, the applied magnetic field is rendered...

01:26Toxic Reactions: Overview
2.1K
When toxic substances penetrate the human body, they disseminate to various tissues, undergoing metabolic changes. This process yields reactive metabolites that may covalently bind with specific target molecules, resulting in toxicity.
Toxicity falls into two primary categories: local and systemic.
Local toxicity appears at the exposure site, such as protein denaturation caused by caustic substances.
In contrast, systemic toxicity requires the toxic agent's absorption and distribution,...

Subviral agents are infectious entities that resemble viruses but lack one or more viral components, such as a capsid or essential replication machinery. These agents include viroids, prions, and satellites, each possessing distinct structural and functional characteristics that influence their mode of infection and replication.Viroids are the simplest subviral agents, consisting of circular, single-stranded RNA molecules without a protein coat. They exclusively infect plants, relying entirely...
