Właściwości optyczne refrakcyjne wybranych olejków roślinnych
No full textRefractive index n of an optically transparent material is an important its parameter, which depends on the electronic structure of the corresponding substance. In the case of plant oils, consisting of the relatively weak interacting particles, there are properties that however depend greatly on the intermolecular interaction. These properties are the oils coagulation and vaporization. The last phenomenon influences probably greatly the odor intensity of each oil, which can be significant for certain applications. Therefore, results of the temperature dependences of density p(T) and refractive index n(T) of plant oils can be helpful for estimation of the degree of intermolecular interaction and corresponding possibilities of practical applications of oils. In the present paper, the results of study of the temperature dependences of refractive index nD(T) and density p(T) in the range of 20-60 degrees C have been presented for three plant oils obtained from orange, lemon and grapefruit. For measurements of the absolute refractive index nD of oils at the wavelength lambda(D) = 589 nm a standard Abbe refractometer was used. The oil's density p at ambient temperature was obtained by the measurement of the corresponding mass m and volume V, p = m/V. Measurements of the temperature dependences of refractive index n(T) and volume V(T) of the known mass of oil m were performed using the 6-liters water thermostat "PolyScience model 912". The dependences obtained have been used for calculation of the characteristic values of specific refraction and intermolecular interaction of the oils according to the model of the effective electric field proposed in the former publications of the authors (Andriyevsky, B., et al. 2009, Andriyevsky, B., et al. 2010). The following conclusions have been formulated on the basis of investigations of the orange, lemon and grapefruit plant oils done in the temperature range of 20-60 degrees C. 1. The temperature dependences of density p(T) and electric susceptibility X-D(T) are fitted satisfactorily by the first order polynomial, p(T) = a + bT, with negative coefficients b. 2. Refractive properties of the lemon and grapefruit oils are close in comparison to the analogous values for the orange oil. 3. Intermolecular bonds in the lemon and grapefruit oils can be weaker in comparison to the orange oil.Współczynnik załamania n optycznie przezroczystego materiału jest ważną jego charakterystyką, która zależy od elektronowej struktury cząsteczek odpowiedniej substancji. W przypadku olejków roślinnych, zawierających stosunkowo słabo oddziałujące cząsteczki, są jednak własności, które zależą w znacznym stopniu od oddziaływania międzycząsteczkowego. Do takich własności można odnieść krzepnięcie i parowanie olejków. Ostatnie zjawisko wpływa prawdopodobnie w dużym stopniu na natężenie zapachu każdego olejku, który jest ważny w odpowiednich zastosowaniach praktycznych. W związku z tym wyniki badań zależności temperaturowych gęstości r(T) i współczynnika załamania n(T) olejków roślinnych mogą być pomocne w oszacowaniu stopnia oddziaływania międzycząsteczkowego i odpowiednich możliwości ewentualnych zastosowań praktycznych. W niniejszej pracy przedstawiono wyniki badań zależności temperaturowych w zakresie 20-60°C współczynnika załamania nD(T) i gęstości r(T) trzech olejków roślinnych: z pomarańczy, cytryny i grejpfruta. Do pomiarów bezwzględnego współczynnika załamania nD olejków na długości fali świetlnej lD = 589 nm wykorzystano standardowy refraktometr Abbe. Gęstość olejków ρ w temperaturze pokojowej była otrzymana poprzez mierzenie masy m określonej objętości V olejku i następujące obliczenie według wzoru definiującego ρ = m/V. Pomiary zależności temperaturowych współczynnika załamania n(T) i objętości olejków V(T) o określonej masie m wykonano przy pomocy 6-litrowego wodnego termostatu przepływowego typu “PolyScience model 912”. Otrzymane zależności wykorzystano do obliczenia charakterystycznych wielkości refrakcji właściwej i oddziaływania międzycząsteczkowego w olejkach według modelu pola efektywnego zaproponowanego we wcześniejszych pracach autorów (Andriyevsky, B., et al. 2009, Andriyevsky, B., et al. 2010). Na bazie przeprowadzonych badań densymetrycznych i refraktometrycznych olejków roślinnych z pomarańczy, cytryny i grejpfruta w zakresie temperatur 20-60°C sformułowano następujące wnioski.- Zależności temperaturowe gęstości ρ(T) i podatności elektrycznej cD(T) trzech olejków aproksymują się zadowalająco wielomianem pierwszego rzędu, ρ(T)=a+bT, z ujemnymi wartościami współczynników b.-Właściwości optyczne refrakcyjne olejków cytrynowego i grejpfrutowego są zbliżone w porównaniu do właściwości olejku pomarańczy.- Wiązania międzycząsteczkowe w olejkach z cytryny i grejpfruta mogą być słabsze niż w olejku z pomarańczy
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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
Full text linkWe 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
Full text linkWe 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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
