Influence of Hot Compaction on Microstructure and Magnetic Properties of Mechanically Alloyed Fe(Co)-based Amorphous Compositions
No full textAmorphous Fe75Nb10B15 and (Fe70Co30)75Nb10B15 alloys were prepared by mechanical alloying from the elemental constituents and hot compacted at different temperatures within the supercooled liquid region. After compaction, the microstructure studied by X-ray diffraction shows an increase in the crystalline fraction for both compositions. Magnetic properties and magnetic entropy change of compacted samples of the Co-free alloy were enhanced with respect to the powder sample, meanwhile, a deterioration in these properties was observed for the Co containing alloy after compaction. Both changes could be ascribed to an enrichment in boron in the amorphous phase.Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación MAT2013-45165-PEuropean Commission (EC).

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
Nanocrystallization Kinetics Understood as Multiple Microprocesses Following the Classical Theory of Crystallization
No full textIn this work, we propose a model for using the classical Johnson-Mehl-Avrami-Kolmogorov (JMAK) crystallization theory to analyze nanocrystallization processes as a set of multiple microprocesses. This model is based on the well-known microstructure observations of nanocrystalline systems for which, although the number of crystallites increases along the process, the growth of each crystallite is limited to a much shorter time than the needed one for completing the process. The very low values of the Avrami exponent, n∼1, are well reproduced assuming a set of multiple classical JMAK processes with constant nucleation rate and diffusion controlled growth, ni = 2.5 for each i individual microprocess. It is shown that the values of Avrami exponent experimentally observed and lying out of the theoretical range can be assumed as effective values derived from a complex process consisting of multiple microprocesses, which can be individually treated as classical ones.Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad MAT2013-45165-PEuropean Commission (EC).

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
A New Method for Determining the Curie Temperature From Magnetocaloric Measurements
No full textA new method is proposed for determining the Curie temperature from magnetocaloric measurements. It is based on the field dependence of the magnetic entropy change close to the Curie temperature. The main advantages over other methods are that the obtained temperature is field independent, and the process is noniterative and does not require a fitting procedure nor prior knowledge of the critical exponents of the transition. The reliability of the method is demonstrated using both simulated and experimental data for pure Ni and an Fe-based amorphous alloy.Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad MAT2013-45165-
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
