    Continuum Distorted Wave and Wannier Methods

    No full text
    The continuum distorted wave model has been extensively applied to charge transfer and ionization processes. We present both the perturbative and variational capture theories as well as highlighting the suitability of this model in describing the continuum final states in both heavy and light particle ionization for both atomic and molecular targets. Particular emphasis will be put in the application of distorted wave theories to the description of recent complete experiments. We then develop the Wannier theory for threshold ionization and further theoretical work that led to the modern quantal semiclassical approximation. This very successful theory has provided the first absolute cross sections that are in good agreement with experiment. The present work is based on the previous one conceived by Crothers et al. 1 . Only a few minor modifications in the text have been introduced, and a complete subsection has been added in order to take into account the state of art of the subject.Fil: Rivarola, Roberto Daniel.

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    Full text link
    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

    Variations on the Author

    “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 link
    We 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

    Singlet-triplet mixing in the helium sequence

    Full text link
    This article was first published in PHYSICAL REVIEW . Copyright (2012) American Physical Society (APS). (http://dx.doi.org/10.1103/PhysRev.181.23)Accurate variational calculations are presented for the off-diagonal matrix elements of the Breit interaction between the 2P1 and 2P3 states of several members of the helium iso-electronic sequence. A comparison is made with recent Z-expansion calculations, which are accurate through terms of order α2Z3. The comparison shows that the Z-expansion method for off-diagonal mixing is potentially useful in the theory of many-electron atoms. The effect of singlet-triplet mixing on the 2P3 excitation cross sections is briefly discussed. © 1969 The American Physical Society

It is shown here that these corrections are automatically included when the transition operator is expressed in the dipole length form. The above criticism of previous dipole-length calculations is therefore unfounded. The 1s2p 3P1-1s21S0 and 1s2p 3P1-1s2s 1S0 transitions of helium are discussed as specific numerical examples
