BackgroundJohn Cunningham virus (JCV) constitutes a family of polyoma viruses, which plays important roles in the progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) and tumorigenesis. However, no bibliometric investigation has been reported to guide the researchers and potential readers.MethodsPapers were collected from database Sci-expanded and Pubmed until May 22, 2008. The highly-productive authors, institutes and countries, highly-cited authors and journals were ranked. The highly-cited articles were subjected to co-citation and chronological analysis with highly-frequent MeSH words for co-occurrence analysis.ResultsUntil now, 1785 articles about JCV were indexed in Sci-expanded and 1506 in Pubmed. The main document type was original article. USA, Japan and Italy were the largest three producers about JCV. Temple University published 128 papers and ranked the top, followed by University of Tokyo. Khalili K and Yogo Y became the core authors due to more than 20 documents produced. Journal of Neurovirology published more than 15 papers and ranked the top. Padgett BL and Berger JR were the first two highly-cited authors. Journal of Virology and Journal of Neurovirology respectively ranked to the first two highly-cited journals. These top highly-cited articles were divided into 5 aspects: (1) The correlation between JC virus and tumors; (2) Causal correlation of JCV with PML; (3) Polyoma virus infection and its related diseases in renal-allograft recipients; (4) Detection of JCV antibody, oncogene and its encoding protein; (5) Genetics and molecular biology of JCV. The MeSH/subheadings were classified into five groups: (1) JCV and virus infectious diseases; (2) JCV pathogenicity and pathological appearance of PML; (3) JCV isolation and detection; (4) Immunology of JCV and PML; (5) JCV genetics and tumors.ConclusionJCV investigation mainly focused on its isolation and detection, as well as its correlation with PML and tumors. Establishment of transgenic animal model using JCV T antigen would be a hopeful and useful project in the further study.

“…Despite contentious debates about the definition of terrorism (Cooper, 2001;Moghaddam, 2005;Reid and Chen, 2007), there is overall consensus that imparting messages through orchestrated violence is a central feature (Tsfati and Weimann, 2002). In addition, the extreme and often radical nature of messages communicated online by terrorist groups and supporters of terrorist ideologies lends itself to the use of such terminology.…”

Tackling cyber-terrorism: Balancing surveillance with counter-communication

Cyberspace has expanded the arena within which extremists and terrorists operate, posing a range of new challenges, many of which are still to be addressed. From propaganda through recruitment to financing and attack planning, the use of the Internet has been growing in size, subtlety and sophistication, often blurring the legal with the illegal. Its interconnectivity, anonymity and affordability have served Muslim extremists, white supremacists and neo-Nazis alike. The present article analyses the online challenges posed by such groups, pointing out how they might be potentially hampered by combining the currently dominant online surveillance with marginalized cyber (counter-) communication. It also highlights the mechanisms of decision making based on matters of principle and honour, the factors that typically drive terrorist actions, showing the inadequacy of the traditional economic models, on which the surveillance largely depends and risks scaring extremists off the radar.

“…Visualization provides a rapid and succinct method to communicate complex social relationships. Recent research on development of tools for visual analysis of network relationships is driven by the availability of powerful personal computers; large repositories of electronic resources from which social networks can be built; and demands from areas such as detection of terrorist-related activities (Carley et al 2007;Reid and Chen 2007), law enforcement (Zhu et al 2010), and forensics (Hadjidj et al 2009). Unlike earlier, static representations of social networks, modern visualization tools allow users to determine interactively relations between members of a social network (Yang et al 2008).…”

Data Mining of Electronic Mail and Auditing: A Research Agenda

A potentially important form of audit evidence is corporate email, which includes the background, intent, and outcome of managerial actions. Emails are semistructured data, with known fields for sender, recipient, subject, and date, as well as the email body and attachments. Data mining of emails (DME) combines understanding of social networks, textual analysis using natural language processing and other techniques, and domain knowledge. Email data mining research received a considerable boost by the availability of a large archive of emails from the now-defunct Enron Corporation. The paper provides an overview of DME techniques, and the potential expanded applications of DME by auditors. The paper also discusses a set of research areas and research opportunities.
