DC CONDUCTANCE OF CUPC FILMS PREPARED BY PLASMA ACTIVATED EVAPORATION
No full textA CuPc film with good mechanical and gas sensing properties was prepared by the plasma activated evaporation method. The conductivity of the CuPc film approximately satisfies the following equation: sigma = sigma (o) exp(-E/kT) where E is the activation energy. The activation energies of the films deposited at high pressures (200 and 300mtorr) are 0.7 similar to 0.8eV which are almost the same with Eg/2 of the sublimated CuPc film. For the films deposited at low pressures (20 and 100mtorr), the activation energies are 0.1 similar to 0.4 eV depending on the gas environment. As the deposition pressure of the CuPc film decreases, the porosity of the film increases and thus the surface area where NOx gas molecules can be adsorbed increases. This results in the increases of the DC conductivity and the NOx gas sensing sensitivity with decreasing CuPc deposition pressure
NO gas-sensing characteristics of copper phthalocyanine film prepared by plasma-activated evaporation
No full textAn NO gas sensor that has good mechanical properties and chemical resistance has been fabricated using a CuPc film deposited by r.f. plasma-activated evaporation. As the deposition pressure increases, the film forms a denser structure with reduced grain size and the metal-ligand (Cu-N) bonds are greatly deformed by the r.f. plasma. The sensitivity, represented by the relative resistance change, is higher for the sensor prepared at lower deposition pressures because the CuPc films deposited at lower pressures are more porous and hence allow more NO gas molecules to be adsorbed. As the sensing temperature increases, the sensitivity is degraded because the adsorption is an exothermic process. The sensitivity increases almost linearly with the NO gas concentration up to 80 ppm, above which it is saturated to 0.94. The CuPc NO sensor shows good gas selectivity for NO against CO gas and stable reproducibility with desorption treatment.This work has been supported by Korea Science and Engineering Foundation through the Research Centre for Thin Film Fabrication and Crystal Growing of Advanced Materials

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
