The 100 Leading Contributors to English-Language Gerontological Journals: An International Study of Scholarly Impact.

The two aims of this study were to: 1) identify the 100 most impactful contributors to English-language gerontological journals, and 2) map their respective disciplinary affiliations to help illuminate the perspectives shaping gerontological discourse. Toward that end, we conducted a secondary data analysis of a publicly available database of the world's leading scientists. After extracting all scientists in the gerontological category, we rank ordered them according to a composite measure of scholarly impact that controls for self-citations and author order while also calculating other bibliometric statistics.

Effects of basin topography and monsoon conditions on transport and occurrence of atmospheric PCDD/Fs in the Taichung Basin.

Background, Aim, And Scope: Topographical and meteorological factors, such as monsoons, can drastically affect ambient dioxin levels. In order to better understand these phenomena, four sampling lines (comprising 16 sampling sites) were selected in accordance with the topographical characteristics and the transport paths of the Taichung Basin.

Materials And Methods: The ambient air samples were simultaneously collected according to US EPA TO-9A.
