    En el presente trabajo se abordan los resultados del estudio de las películas delgadas de WO3 depositadas por la técnica de sputtering reactivo, desde el punto de vista de caracterización de la estructura cristalina y microestructura de las películas. Existen diferentes trabajos en los que se han sintetizado películas delgadas de WO3 por la técnica de sputtering y donde se han evaluado sus propiedades eléctricas, ópticas o de sensado de gases; sin embargo, se han reportado en estos trabajos diferentes estructuras cristalinas, aunque el método de síntesis sea el mismo. La variación de los parámetros de sputtering o de tratamiento térmico puede generar diferencias en sus estructuras y por lo tanto diferencias a la hora de evaluar las propiedades físicas de las películas. Las películas sintetizadas por sputtering reactivo fueron sometidas a tratamientos térmicos sucesivos con el fin de obtener la estructura cristalina Ortorrómbica, durante estos tratamientos fueron encontradas dos estructuras cristalinas de diferentes simetrías, Krasnogorite y β–WO3. Las películas delgadas de WO3 obtuvieron cambios en la resistividad al estar en presencia del gas CO2 teniendo una respuesta hasta del 15% y un 98% cuando era expuesta en un gas inerte como el Argón

    Síntesis y caracterización de un modificador reológico acrílico asociativo

    La creciente conciencia ambiental, está llevando a la industria a encontrar tecnologías más amigables, con menor contenido de compuestos orgánicos volátiles (VOC). Una alternativa, es la utilización de recubrimientos base agua; sin embargo, esta nueva tecnología trae consigo una serie de dificultades para controlar las propiedades reológicas. Actualmente, existen agentes reológicos asociativos los cuales ayudan a minimizar la reología de esta nueva tecnología. En este trabajo de tesis se reporta la síntesis y caracterización de un agente reológico acrílico asociativo, fabricado por medio de una esterificación parcial, a partir de ácido poliacrílico y nonilfenol polietoxilenado. Para probar el agente reológico se sintetizaron látex estiren-acrílicas. Se emplearon diversas técnicas de caracterización, tales como: espectrometría de infrarrojo y reometría rotacional. Los resultados mostraron factibilidad de fabricación y un aumento considerable en las propiedades reológicas

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    Variations on the Author

    “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

    We 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

    We 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

    We 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
