Besselaar argued that the results of Leydesdorff & Heimeriks (2001) are based on unreliable statistics. Two arguments were brought against the use of discriminant analysis in our case:
- The predictive power of 50% of the sample in relation to the other 50% is not significant; 2. Using simulations, discriminant analysis exhibits a prediction for random data that can be as high as for the bibliometric data.

Self-organized criticality (SOC) occurs in systems consisting of a substrate or medium which can be locally stressed to a critical state. When the critical threshold is exceeded, the stress is distributed to the neighborhood around the locale, which can lead to critical states in the neighboring loc
We have used Deep Level Transient Spectroscopy to investigate self-organized InAs/GaAs quantum dots. The existence of different dot families is confirmed by the deconvolution of the spectra in Gaussian components with full width at half maximum of 60-70 meV. The strain of quantum dots is responsible
## Abstract Preferential flow paths are known to be important conduits of subsurface stormflow in forest hillslopes. Earlier research on preferential flow paths focused on vertical transport; however, lateral transport is also evident in steep forested slopes underlain by bedrock or till. Macropore
