    The algorithm for co-registration and georeferentation of satellite images assumes that images can be realigned through an isometric transformation. The image alignment is achieved by minimising the distances between common image features. Clustering techniques are used to obtain a high quality set of aligned images without outliers. As a result of the process, the metadata information related to the geotransformation of the satellite images (GeoTIFF) is corrected and co-registered PNG images are derived. The development of this software is aimed for obtaining images to accurately determine shoreline displacements. In general, it can be used for the precise detection of features at different times. Details about the algorithm and methodology are described in Simarro, G.; Calvete, D.; Ribas, F.; Castillo Y.; Puig-Polo, C.

    Demonstration of the optical limiting effect for an hemiporphyrazine

    No full text
    The hemiporphyrazine complex 9,22-bis(dibutoxy)hemiporphyrazinato chloroindium(III) (1) is one of the few examples for this class of compounds, which displays the nonlinear optical effect of reverse saturable absorption for nanosecond laser pulses in the visible spectrum. The high linear transmission combined with the fast switching into a strongly absorbing excited state in the same spectral range (400–650 nm), renders the studied hemiporphyrazine an ideal material for the passive shuttering of pulsed radiations

    Large two-photon absorption cross sections of hemiporphyrazines in the excited state: The multiphoton absorption process of hemiporphyrazines with different central metals

    A series of five hemiporphyrazines (Hps) with different coordinating central atoms (H2, GeCl2, InCl, Pt, Pb), and the acyclic derivative 1,3-bis-(6′-amino-4′-butoxy-2′-pyridylimino)-1,3-dihydroisoindoline have been synthesized and their multiphoton absorption properties examined at the second harmonic frequency of the Nd:YAG laser in the nanosecond time regime. Metal-free and platinum Hps display saturation of optical transmittance within incident fluence values of 6 J cm−2. Comparison with other similar molecular structures like phthalocyanines and related molecules shows that Hps are strong nonlinear absorbers. The experimental curves of nonlinear transmission at 532 nm have been fitted by means of a three-level model with the occurrence of simultaneous two-photon absorption from an excited state. In the sole case of the InCl complex we found that a five-level model is needed because of the participation of triplet states. Contrary to phthalocyanines, naphthalocyanines, and porphyrins, a heavy central atom does not improve the nonlinear absorption properties since a different excited states dynamic is involved. The large nonlinear absorption of Hps combined with the very small absorption in the visible spectral range makes these molecules a very interesting class of molecules for nonlinear optical applications

    The photophysical properties of four axially substituted indium phthalocyanines, namely, 2,(3)-tetra-tertbutyl- phthalocyaninato indium chloride (1), 2,(3)-tetra-[(3,5-di-tert-butyl)-phenyloxy]-phthalocyaninato indium bromide (2), 2,(3)-tetra-[(3,5-di-tert-butyl)-phenyloxy]-phthalocyaninato indium iodide (3), and 2,3-octa-[(2- hexyl)-ethyloxy]-phthalocyaninato indium trifluoroacetate (4), have been investigated, and their optical limiting properties with nanosecond light pulses were evaluated. All complexes behave as reverse saturable absorbers in the range of 400-625 nm due to a triplet-triplet excited-state transition. Excited-state absorption cross sections and triplet state lifetimes are not significantly affected by the nature of the axial ligand. On the other hand, remarkable differences in the variation of nonlinear transmittance are observed for 1-4 due to significantly different intersystem crossing rates. Heavier axial ligands in phthalocyanines 2 and 3 produce the largest variations of nonlinear transmission (heavy-atom effect). Complex 1 in polystyrene matrix shows reversible nonlinear absorption when incident fluence does not exceed 0.025 J cm-2

    MeSH term explosion and author rank improve expert recommendations

    Information overload is an often-cited phenomenon that reduces the productivity, efficiency and efficacy of scientists. One challenge for scientists is to find appropriate collaborators in their research. The literature describes various solutions to the problem of expertise location, but most current approaches do not appear to be very suitable for expert recommendations in biomedical research. In this study, we present the development and initial evaluation of a vector space model-based algorithm to calculate researcher similarity using four inputs: 1) MeSH terms of publications; 2) MeSH terms and author rank; 3) exploded MeSH terms; and 4) exploded MeSH terms and author rank. We developed and evaluated the algorithm using a data set of 17,525 authors and their 22,542 papers. On average, our algorithms correctly predicted 2.5 of the top 5/10 coauthors of individual scientists. Exploded MeSH and author rank outperformed all other algorithms in accuracy, followed closely by MeSH and author rank. Our results show that the accuracy of MeSH term-based matching can be enhanced with other metadata such as author rank

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    No full text
    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
