Evaluating plasmonic light trapping with photoluminescence
No full textWe use photoluminescence measurements to quantify the light trapping for a range of plasmonic structures. By combining Ag nanoparticles as a scattering structure and diffuse white paint as a back surface reflector (BSR) on silicon wafers, we can achieve aThis work is a part of an ARC Linkage Project. K.

Incidents in anaesthesia: past occurrence and future avoidance.
No full text This article is a revised version of an analysis of reported incidents related to anaesthesia, originally published in the journal Anaesthesia (Catchpole et al 2008a) and undertaken on behalf of the National Patient Safety Agency. The purpose was to examine the range, types, frequencies and causes of reported patient safety incidents associated with anaesthesia. First we examined anaesthetic incidents as a sub-set of the total number of reported incidents; then we examined pre-surgery assessment, epidural anaesthesia, and anaesthetic awareness incidents, as they were identified as being frequent and of potential concern. To our knowledge it was the first paper to analyse and present results of the NPSA's database in a clinical academic journal. Here, we take the opportunity to re-present and review the findings in light of subsequent progress in understanding and improving patient safety and quality of care. </jats:p
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe 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
Expanding “Communities and Collections” in the K-State Research Exchange (K-REx) to benefit the K-State Community and Beyond
No full textKansas State University has used its institutional repository, the K-State Research Exchange (K-REx), to store and share its first year experience program, K-State First, and notably its common reading program, K-State First Book. We have done so with the aim that the accessibility and preservation of these documents ensures program stability, promotes engagement with first year programming, and provides the ability to foster growth,educational opportunities, and community building outside of K-State. Moving away from research concentrated repositories and taking a more holistic approach to scholarship, especially when realizing the pedagogical significance of collaborative campus programming, institutions can showcase, discover, preserve, and grow programs that shape campus communities and engagement.
This session will provide an overview of K-REx and spotlight the digital archive of the university’s first year experience program and common reading program, K-State First Book. We will discuss the benefits and challenges to expanding the purview of your repositories. We talkthrough the types of materials we decide to host in our repository and why we share what we do. We will also provide recommendations on new ways to evaluate what belongs in institutional repositories and how this diversity can benefit your program, your institution, the community, and others
