Multicomponent diffusion in ternary and quaternary diffusion couples and in multilayered assemblies
No full textTwo main objectives of this research were to determine diffusional interactions among various components in ternary Cu-Ni-Zn and quaternary Cu-Ni-Zn-Mn alloys and to study evolution of concentration profiles and diffusion paths in multilayered structures. Diffusion couples were assembled with α-phase (FCC) Cu-Ni-Zn alloys and annealed at 775°C. The annealed couples were analyzed for concentration profiles by electron probe microanalysis and interdiffusion fluxes and interdiffusion coefficients were determined over selected composition ranges by Dayananda-Sohn analysis. The interdiffusion analysis was carried out by using a computer program, MultiDiflux, developed by Dayananda and Ram-Mohan. In the Cu-Ni-Zn couples, interdiffusion fluxes of Ni and Cu were observed to be enhanced up the concentration gradient of Zn. ^ Applicability of the MultiDiflux program for the interdiffusion analysis of quaternary diffusion couples was assessed with the aid of a test couple characterized by an arbitrarily selected set of constant quaternary interdiffusion coefficients. The MultiDiflux program was also utilized for the determination of quaternary interdiffusion coefficients from profiles of two experimental Cu-Ni-Zn-Mn diffusion couples investigated at 775°C. The quaternary interdiffusion coefficients evaluated over selected composition ranges from the test as well as the experimental Cu-Ni-Zn-Mn couples were checked for their acceptability by regenerating the concentration profiles from error function solutions for n-component diffusion couples derived by Ram-Mohan and Dayananda through a transfer matrix method (TMM). The TMM methodology was implemented in the MultiDiflux program and used successfully for all the quaternary couples. In the Cu-Ni-Zn-Mn couples, the interdiffusion flux of Ni was enhanced up the concentration gradients of Mn and the interdiffusion flux of Cu increased up the gradient of Zn. Also, the main interdiffusion coefficients of Zn and Mn were observed to be one order of magnitude larger than that of Ni. ^ Analytical expressions were developed for spatial and temporal evolution of concentration profiles in single-phase multicomponent multilayered diffusion assemblies (MDAs) assembled with a number of finite alloy-layers of various compositions sandwiched between two bulk terminal alloys. The expressions were successfully used for the prediction of concentration profiles in an experimental Cu-Ni-Zn MDA assembled with a single sandwiched layer and annealed at 775°C. The analytical expressions were also used to simulate evolution of concentration profiles and diffusion paths for a ternary MDA containing a single finite middle layer as a function of layer thickness (h) and time (t). The diffusion path of such an MDA varies with time and each path configuration is associated with a unique h/ t ratio. Diffusional interactions among components may lead to either depletion or accumulation of individual components in the middle layer of an MDA. ^ The MultiDiflux program was also employed for the determination of ternary interdiffusion coefficients for the (β) Ni-Ru-Al alloys from diffusion couple assembled with NiAl and RuAl disks and annealed at 1100°C.

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
A Descriptive Study on Assessment of Knowledge Regarding Menstrual Hygiene among the Adolescent Girls in PUC, Dayananda Sagar Institution, Bengaluru
No full textA descriptive study on assessment of knowledge regarding menstrual hygiene among the adolescent girls in PUC, Dayananda Sagar Institution, Bangalore carried out by Ms.Susanti Kath, Ms. Tara Ghale, Ms. Pooja Rai, Ms. Mamta Sharma, Mr. Roshin George, Mr. Gotau Bitrus Yusuf and Ms. Asha in partial fulfillment of the requirement of IV year BSc. Nursing, Dayananda Sagar College Of Nursing, Kumaraswamy Layout, Bangalore.The objectives of the study are to assess the knowledge of adolescent girls regarding menstruation and menstrual hygiene among PUC students of Dayananda Sagar Institution, Kumaraswamy layout.A group of 100 adolescent girls were selected for the study in Kumaraswamy layout, Bangalore a descriptive study approach was used to assess the knowledge of adolescent girls. Review of Literature was done by the investigator which helped in preparation of the data tool collection. A structured interview schedule was developed to assess the knowledge of adolescent girls regarding menstrual hygiene.Knowledge of the adolescent girls regarding menstrual hygiene were assured of the confidentially of their responses, validity of the tools was done by the experts in the field of nursing the data obtained using these tools were analyzed in forms of descriptive statistics. Significant findings of the study are 72 has adequate knowledge 28 has moderate knowledge And interestingly to note that none of the adolescent girls had inadequate knowledge regarding menstrual hygiene.

Variations on the Author
No full text“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
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
