Overview
The paper presents interesting experimental and molecular dynamics (MD) simulation studies on nanoindention of a face centred cubic Fe-Ni-Cr stainless steel 310S. 310S is high in both Cr (~25wt%) and Ni (~20wt%) compared to other austenitic stainless-steel grades and finds application in areas where high temperature environmental degradation is a concern. A strength of the work is that the high quality of both the nanoindentation experiments and the MD simulations.
The nanoindentation experiments were undertaken with a Berkovich tip with loads in the range 0.25 to 10 mN, so that shallow indents below 200 nm depth resulted. Data for even the smallest <50nm, 0.25nM) indents appeared to be of good quality indicating careful experimentation on difficult measurements. Results from repeat tests are given to indicate noise levels and scatter in material response.
The MD simulations of the 310S alloy were undertaken using LAMMPS with an embedded-atom method (EAM) potential and models with Fe, Ni and Cr atoms in an initially randomised substitutional solid solution. In line with other literature a fixed layer furthest from the indented surface, and a thermostatic layer allowing for heat dissipation were included with the model which was initially equilibrated at 300 K. Given that repeat simulations were conducted for multiple orientations the models size was kept as large as reasonable possible and consisted of a total of 8.5-9 million atoms.
The most significant challenge for the work is in making a strong connection between the experiments and simulations when computational resource prohibits using a larger model, while experimental uncertainties are more marked for smaller indents. The dilemma is perhaps made most evident by comparing the 10 nm tip radius and 5 nm maximum indent depth used in the simulations with the smallest experimental indents of a little under 50 nm. A more fundamental barrier to direct comparison is that the simulations are for tip radius of 10 nm, while the experiments are for much larger value (~100 nm seems likely from load-displacement data though the actual value is not quoted). The larger tip radius in the experiments provides access to much larger indentation strains than is possible in the simulations, while larger strain gradients are in place for the simulations. Finally, there is a large difference in loading rate (and therefore deformation rate).
Reading the preprint provoked the following comments and questions some of which might be useful to the authors.
Main Points
· Given the challenges above in making direct comparisons the conclusion of excellent agreement between experiment and simulation should perhaps be softened, similarly the work itself does not deal with high temperature behaviour, or effects of irradiation so conclusions regarding the suitability of the alloy for nuclear applications seem out of scope.
· The attempt to estimate GND density is interesting, especially as the strain gradients are extremely high for the simulations, and quite a bit lower for the experiments. Typically, a length scale needs to be set in describing how the total dislocation density is split between GND and SSD densities, but this has not been made explicit here. For the MD simulations it may be that all dislocations have been taken to contribute to the GND density, but it is not clear what volume term has been used (text around eq 12-13 suggests contact diameter may be the indicative lengthscale). For the Ma-Clarke model how was the shear strain calculated (the Ma-Clarke paper was for Berkovich rather than spherical indents)? No details are given for the calculation of GND density from the EBSD map, but the characteristic lengthscale is likely markedly larger than for the MD simulation, and the effects of this should be discussed. A little more detail in methodologies should be given for all of this analysis. Fig 11 c) is the only figure where both simulation and experimental data are shown directly on the same plot. Ma & Clarke (and subsequently Nix & Gao) used both SSD and GND densities as contributions to a Taylor hardening expression to link strain gradients to indentation size effects. Have the authors thought of extended their analysis to see if this can consistently link the markedly lower hardness values seen for deeper experimental indents with the much higher hardness reported for MD simulations?
· Some interesting dislocation density-based laws are introduced in eq 8 to 10. These are fit to the MD simulation results for dislocation density in fig 8a. It would be good to state the dislocation mean free path and annihilation constants obtained. As with the point above can a Taylor hardening model then be used to connect to hardness values and then provide a link to the experimental data. [In passing the text describing eq 10 refers to grain size though perhaps indent size is more relevant here].
· Results from simulations and experiments show relatively little anisotropy in either indentation modulus or hardness (eg figs 4b, fig 5, fig 8b) – it seems odd then to state in the conclusions that "…310S indicates anisotropic properties…".
Minor Points
· Caption on fig 4 swaps parts (a) and (b)
· Scale bars should be added to fig 6, fig 7 a and b, fig 9, fig 11a and b, and fig 12
· Fig 9b – the 5nm and unload images seem to be identical though difference are talked about in the main text.

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.
