Tameness of the pseudovariety LS1
No full textThe notion of k-tameness of a pseudovariety was introduced by Almeida and Steinberg and is a strong property which implies decidability of pseudovarieties. In this paper we prove that the pseudovariety LSl, of local semilattices, is k-tame.This work was supported, in part, by FCT through the Centro de Matemática da Universidade do Minho, and by the FCT and POCTI approved project POCTI/32817/MAT/2000 which is comparticipated by the European Community Fund FEDER
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Optical properties of organic and semiconductor nanostructures

32817.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Open Access)Nanostructures have at least one of their dimensions in the range 1-100 nm. Fabricating new, well-defined nanoscale objects and studying their physical properties is of importance, because it can lead to the development of potentially useful materials, novel device applications, and the discovery of new physical phenomena. This thesis contains a comprehensive optical study of one-dimensional self-assembled ring- and wire-shaped nanostructures and two-dimensional semiconductor quantum well (QW) structures. The self-assembled nanorings and nanowires are fabricated by dropcasting a solution of porphyrin dodecamer molecules and monofunctional oligo(p-phenylene vinylene) (MOPV4) molecules, respectively, on a surface and allowing the solvent to evaporate. Using atomic force microscopy we show that we achieve a high level of control over the production process. Moreover, polarized fluorescence microscopy images on individual nanorings and nanowires show a pronounced emission and absorption. Using a general model that calculates the polarized response of a stack of molecules, we have determined the orientation of the molecules within the structures and we show that the internal moleculair order is very high. The optical properties of an 8 nm CdTe/CdMgTe QW are dominated by excitons (an electron bound to a hole) and trions (two electrons bound to a hole) at cryogenic temperatures. The formation of trions out of excitons and electrons is found to be determined by a dynamical equilibrium. This dynamical equilibrium consists of a chemical equilibrium, relating the trion, exciton, and electron populations, modified by finite formation and recombination times of (charged) excitons, as is evidenced by a magnetic-field dependent photoluminescence and far infrared study. Incorporation of the trion formation scheme into a rate equation model gives a proper description of the experimental data, leading to values of the formation, recombination and spin-flip times of trions and excitons that are in good agreement with results of time-resolved experiments in the literature.Radboud University, 20 januari 2005Promotor : Maan, J.C.

Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
