Reliability of citation searches is a cornerstone of bibliometric research. The authors compare simultaneous search returns at two sites to demonstrate discrepancies that can occur as a result of differences in institutional subscriptions to the Web of Science and Web of Knowledge. Such discrepancies may have significant implications for the reliability of bibliometric research in general, but also for the calculation of individual and group indices used for promotion and funding decisions. The authors caution care when describing the methods used in bibliometric analysis and when evaluating researchers from different institutions. In both situations a description of the specific databases used would enable greater reliability. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We report numerical results for the differential cross sections for different inelastic channels of the He+Ne collision system. The collision energies range from 100eV to 200eV. The potentials and the nonadiabatic interactions are described by a realistic model based on quantum chemical data. Radial and rotational coupling are included, as well as the spin-orbit interaction. A quantum-mechanical description of the heavy-particle motion is used. The results mostly show a good agreement with the experiment, finer details such as the spin-inversion probability of the He ion are reproduced less satisfactorily. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this paper was to examine self-efficacy and perceived appropriateness among rural general practitioners (GPs) in regards to screening and intervention for physical, lifestyle and mental health issues. METHOD: Fifty GPs from 25 practices in eight rural Queensland towns completed a written survey designed for the study. RESULTS: General practitioners rated opportunistic screening or assessment for smoking and for detection of relapse of mental disorders as the most appropriate, with even cardiovascular and diabetes risk falling behind these. Self-efficacy was highest for medical disorders for smoking assessment. It was significantly lower for alcohol, mental health issues, and addressing risks of physical disorder in people with mental disorders. CONCLUSIONS: High appropriateness ratings suggest that current strategies to boost self-efficacy of GPs in addressing mental health issues are timely. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
