    Impact of non-fullerene acceptors and solvent additive on the nanomorphology, device performance, and photostability of PTB7-Th polymer based organic solar cells

    Non-fullerene acceptors have recently ignited extensive interest in organic solar cells (OSCs) because of their higher power conversion efficiency (PCE) than their fullerene counterparts. Though the effect of solvent additive 1, 8-diiodooctane (DIO) has been studied extensively for fullerene-based acceptor OSCs, not much is known for non-fullerene acceptors OSCs. In our work, bulk-heterojunction (BHJ) OSCs were fabricated by blending fullerene (PC71BM) and non-fullerene (ITIC and IEICO-4F) acceptors with low bandgap polymer donor (PTB7-Th). Further, the effects of non-fullerene acceptors on the nanomorphology, performance, and photostability of the devices were investigated. In the absence of DIO, devices with IEICO-4F acceptor showed higher PCE than PTB7-Th: ITIC and PTB7-Th: PC71BM BHJ-OSCs due to their absorption in near infrared along with high J (sc). The addition of DIO increased PCE in PTB7-Th: PC71BM BHJ-OSCs due to improved miscibility of fullerene molecules, higher donor/acceptor interface area, and improved phase separation. However, DIO adversely affected the overall device performance in PTB7-Th: IEICO-4F and PTB7-Th: ITIC BHJ-OSCs. Furthermore, devices processed with DIO were less photostable and exhibited faster degradation due to the photoacid effect of the DIO additive.

    Hybrid Techniques of Genetic Algorithm for Inventory of Auto Industry Model for Deteriorating Ttems with Two Warehouses

    In this Paper Hybrid techniques are the integration of various soft computing techniques that synergizes the strength and weakness of an individual technique with the other therefore the overall performance of such techniques working in unison is increased. A deterministic inventory of Auto industry model has been developed for deteriorating items of Auto industry having a ramp type demand with the effects of inflation with two storage of Auto industry facilities using Genetic Algorithms. Here, we assumed that the inventory of Auto industry holding cost in RW is higher than those in OW. Shortages in inventory of Auto industry are allowed and partially backlogged and it is assumed that the inventory of Auto industry deteriorates over time at a variable deterioration rate using Genetic Algorithms. The effect of inflation of Auto industry has also been considered for various costs associated with the inventory of Auto industry system. Cost minimization technique is using Genetic Algorithms to get the expressions for total cost and other parameters.

    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
