Subject: Searching via references
Which articles cite papers from G.L. Kooyman published in the
journal "Science"?
Search Profile:
| Parameter | Counter | Number of Hits | Query |
|---|---|---|---|
| C= | 1 | 30923053 | IS90 |
| S= | 2 | 197 | RF=KOOYMAN GL?/RJ=SCIENCE |
| 3 | 197 | REFS WHERE 2 | |
| REFS IN 8 HITS |
FIND RF=kooyman gl?/RJ=science can be substituted by
FIND RA=kooyman gl?/RJ=science.
The result of step one is all the documents that include at
least one citation with the chosen parameters. SHOW will display
documents with a complete set of references (SHOW F=ALL). In order
to get just the references sought-after (author/journal) you have
to add step 2 (Selective SHOW).
Another component can be added by using another "/":
FIND RF=kooyman gl?/RJ=science/RY=1987.
Subject: In which journals are the most articles pertaining
to the illness "Charge Association" published.
(Searching via references and statistical evaluations.)
Search profile and selective statistical evaluation:

Important here is the step F REFS WHERE 4 which reduces the amount of the references used in the statistical evaluation that follows to the amount actually wanted. If you would ignore this step, a list with the references that were found in all of the 393 documents would be evaluated and, as a result, the list would include all authors.
Further important tips for the use of the statistic function are to be found in the DIMDI ClassicSearch User Guide (PDF, 2,8 MB) under charter 8-2.

| AB: | Shallow-diving, coastal bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) and deep-diving, pelagic pygmy and dwarf sperm whales (Kogia breviceps and K. sima) will experience vastly different ambient pressures at depth, which will influence the volume of air within their lungs and potentially the degree of thoracic collapse they experience. This study tested the hypotheses that lung size will be reduced and/or thoracic mobility will be enhanced in deeper divers. Lung mass (T truncatus, n = 106; kogiids, n = 18) and lung volume (T truncatus, n = 5; kogiids, n = 4), relative to total body mass, were compared. One T truncatus and one K sima were cross-sectioned to calculate lung, thoracic vasculature, and other organ volumes. Excised thoraxes (T truncatus, n = 3; kogiids, n = 4) were mechanically manipulated to compare changes in thoracic cavity shape and volume. Kogiid lungs were half the mass and one-fifth the volume of those of similarly sized T truncatus. The lungs occupied only 15% of the total thoracic cavity volume in K. sima and 37% in T truncatus. The kogiid and dolphin thoraxes underwent similar changes in shape and volume, although the width of the thoracic inlet was relatively constrained in kogiids. A broader phylogenetic comparison demonstrated that the ratio of lung mass to total body mass in kogiids, physeterids, and ziphiids was similar to that of terrestrial mammals, while delphinids and phocoenids possessed relatively large lungs. Thus, small lung size in deep-diving odontocetes may be a plesiomorphic character. The relatively large lung size of delphinids and phocoenids appears to be a derived condition that may permit the lung to function as a site of respiratory gas exchange throughout a dive in these rapid breathing, short-duration, shallow divers.
