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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe 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

Microstructure, martensitic transformation and elastocaloric effect in Pd-In-Fe polycrystalline shape memory alloys
No full textIn this work, we have investigated the microstructure, martensitic transformation, and elastocaloric effect of Pd-In-Fe polycrystalline alloys. For this new magnetic shape memory alloys, both phase constitution and morphology highly depend on the Fe content. Exhibiting a single austenite phase at room temperature, Pd59.3In23.2Fe17.5 alloy has a large superelastic cooling effect of - 5.4 K with a low critical stress of 80 MPa to trigger the martensitic transformation. Interestingly, the onset of superelastic stress can be drastically reduced by mechanical training. The rare-earth/Mn-free and non-toxic element constitution, good ductility and tunable transformation temperature render the Pd-In-Fe Heusler system as a promising candidate for elastocaloric cooling
Chao Yuen Ren (1892–1982)
No full textY. R. Chao is easily the most famous linguist to have come out of China. Born before the end of the last dynasty in China, he received a traditional Confucian education, but was also one of the first Chinese people to be sent to the West for training in modern Western science (under the Boxer Indemnity Fund). The remarkable breadth and scope of his studies included physics, mathematics, linguistics, musical and literary composition, and translation, and he was a pioneer in many of these fields
Giant elastocaloric effect and its irreversibility in [001]-oriented Ni45Mn36.5In13.5Co5 meta-magnetic shape memory alloys
No full textIn this letter, we investigate the elastocaloric reversibility in Ni-Mn-In-Co meta-magnetic shape memory alloys. A highly [001] textured Ni45Mn36.5In13.5Co5 polycrystalline alloy was grown by using the liquid-metal-cooling directional solidification technique. We have observed a giant adiabatic temperature change (Delta T) of +8.6K caused by the stress-driven complete martensitic transformation. The asymmetry of the maximum Delta T between loading and unloading strongly depends on the magnitude of superelastic strain. Such an irreversible behavior is ascribed to the friction energy dissipation as well as the variation of the elastocaloric entropy change by shifting initial temperatures. Published by AIP Publishing
The effect of Tb on elastocaloric and mechanical properties of Ni-Mn-In-Tb alloys
No full textThe influence of partial substitution of Tb for In on the microstructure, martensitic transformation, mechanical properties, and elastocaloric effect of Ni50Mn34In16-xTbx (x = 0, 0.1, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5) alloys have been investigated. Single-phase alloys are obtained for x 0.3. The phase transformation temperatures initially increase with increasing Tb addition, then decrease with more than 0.3 at.% Tb addition. The existence of secondary phase results in the grain refinement thus improves the mechanical properties of Ni-Mn-In-Tb alloys. A large adiabatic temperature change of 5.1 K induced by uniaxial stress application is observed in Ni50Mn34In15.6Tb0.4. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved
Influence of Cr on microstructure and elastocaloric effect in Ni-Mn-In-Co-Cr polycrystalline alloys
No full textNi-Mn-based metamagnetic shape memory alloys have been proposed as potential elastocaloric refrigerants. The intrinsic brittleness of the alloys has limited their cooling application. Introducing a soft second phase is an effective way to reduce the brittleness. From the viewpoint of application, the effect of second phase on elastocaloric effect should be illustrated. In this paper, we have investigated the microstructure, martensitic transformation and elastocaloric effect of Ni45Mn37-xIn13Co5Crx (x = 0, 1 and 2) polycrystalline alloys. Single-phase and precipitates-containing microstructures are obtained for the undoped and doped alloys, respectively. The precipitates in Cr-doped alloys enhances the fracture strength but significantly hinders the martensitic transformation. Balancing the fracture strength and martensitic transformation, the Ni45Mn36In13Co5Cr alloy with small amount of precipitates along grain boundaries exhibits large cooling effects of 4-6 K in the temperature range of 317-353 K.

An 8 K elastocaloric temperature change induced by 1.3% transformation strain in Ni44Mn45 - xSn11Cux alloys
No full textThe influence of Cu substitution for Mn on martensitic transformation, superelasticity and associated elastocaloric effect in Ni44Mn45 - xSn11Cux (x = 0-4) magnetic shape memory alloys has been investigated. The transformation temperatures were tuned around room temperature by increasing the Cu content. Ni44Mn41Sn11Cu4 exhibits a giant adiabatic cooling of -8 K at a small transformation strain of 1.3%, indicating it as a promising candidate material for elastocaloric refrigeration.

Directional solidification and elastocaloric effect in a Ni45Mn44Sn11 magnetic shape memory alloy
No full textIn this work, the microstructural evolution, texture development and elastocaloric effect have been investigated in directionally solidified Heusler-type Ni45Mn44Sn11 alloys. A multiphase structure is found in the as-grown sample, while only L2(1) phase exists after annealing. By employing the infrared thermography method, a significant average temperature change of -7.5 K is observed in the annealed Ni45Mn44Sn11 alloy with a highly oriented [2 2 0] texture. Also, the formation of cracks and its influence on the mechanical stability and elastocaloric cooling behavior have been studied
