The topic for this week is:
“Finding Articles in Periodical Indexes”
Going back my last week topic
“Photosynthesis AND light intensity”.
My used the tool such as:
ProQuest or Academic Search Premier (EBSCOHOST) in order to find article in
periodical indexes. You find ProQuest and Academic Search Premier (EBSCOHOST)
in website http://library.clark.edu. Moving
your mouse to the find letter, appear
the line letter Articles and Databases click in that. You will see ProQuest or
Academic Search Premier (EBSCOHOST) in the right side. Besides that, I have to
find cite, and annotation for my topic.
- ProQuest: Click at Proquest, I have advanced search and put my topic in that.
If
I put “Photosynthesis and light intensity”.
I have some results such as: Newspaper (121); Magazine (88); Scholarly
Journals (4355)
If
I put my topic is “Photosynthesis OR light intensity.” I have some results such as: Newspaper
(47258); Magazine (20600); Scholarly Journals (105159)
2. Academic
Search Premier (EBSCOHOST):
If I put
“Photosynthesis and light intensity” I have some results such as: Scholarly
Journals (797).
If I put
“Photosynthesis or light intensity” I have some results such as: Scholarly
Journals (27,965)

The annotation for this article:
“Plants may take
more than one approach to photosynthesis. Scientists have found that Chlamydomonas
mutants' photosynthesis
does enable algae to grow.”
I need to know that “An annotation
is a note, summary, or commentary on some section of a book or a statute that
is intended to explain or illustrate its meaning.”
I chose this article because its
annotation gives me the relation with my research topic; it is photosynthesis.

Annotation
“Leaf
nitrogen content and light
intensity affect leaf photosynthesis.
Responses of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) leaf photosynthesis to nitrogen and light were developed and used in
a framework that scales from leaf photosynthesis
to canopy radiation use efficiency (RUE). This was then used to explore the
impact of nitrogen and light
dynamics on RUE of cotton canopies. Photosynthetic rate and nitrogen
concentration of leaves (specific leaf nitrogen, SLN) were measured from two
field experiments in which the rate of nitrogen application was varied. The
overall shape of the relationship between photosynthesis and SLN of individual leaves was consistent with
that for other species, being described by an exponential rise to a maximum of
32.49 + or - 1.08 [mu]mol CO^sup 2^ m^sup -2^ s^sup -1^. Incorporating the
influence of age improved the relationship, showing an impact of leaf age
independent of SLN. The photosynthesis
relationship developed should be appropriate for use in simulating cotton
crops. The approach used to scale from leaf photosynthesis to canopy RUE was effective in
capturing the variation in the RUE of cotton as observed in three field
experiments. There appeared to be little impact of the ontogenetic changes in light extinction coefficient and
vertical gradients of SLN within the canopy on the variation in RUE. For crop
simulation purposes, this simplifies the process of modulating RUE in growth
models.”

Annotation“Anitra Thorhaug, a fellow scientist who interviewed Dr. Haxo for a paper she wrote, said he was well-known in scientific circles for his research on photosynthesis concepts. During World War II, Dr. Haxo worked on developing sunscreens to protect military personnel from ultraviolet rays in tropical theaters of war.
Dr. Haxo enjoyed going out on the Scripps research vessel Alpha Helix, Thorhaug said. Dr. Haxo was chief scientist on the vessel's maiden voyage to Australia's Great Barrier Reef in 1966, where a group of photo biologists and biochemists studied photosynthesis and pigments in corals and giant clams.
Dr. Haxo was a consultant to several national programs, including the U.S. Committee for the International Biological Program and the President's Science and Advisory Council. He was a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the Research Council of the San Diego Zoological Society. After his retirement from Scripps Institution in 1988, Dr. Haxo started researching his lineage and found that one of his ancestors was a general under Napoleon, said longtime friend and colleague Andrew Benson.”
As you known, most search engines default to Boolean AND logic.
Sometimes you need to search for multiple words to
represent a particular concept. To do this, include synonyms or alternate
spellings in your search statement and connect these words with Boolean OR
logic. OR logic will retrieve Web pages containing one or more of your search
terms. Search engines are not consistent in the way they want you to type an OR
search. For example, Google requires that OR be capitalized. So, it's usually
best to fill out the form on the advanced search page and let the search engine
do the rest. Example: war OR peace
For a Boolean NOT search, place a minus sign (-) in
front of the word you want to exclude from your search results. Example: war –
peace.
Eventually, understanding and using Boolean clearly
is your search result.
