Previous issue date: 2017-07-31Civil construction industry has been developing technologically with the growth in the number of works in various sectors such as housing, transport, industry and infrastructure. This study is intended to contribute to the development of scientific cementitious materials by studying the use of carbon nanomaterials as carbon nanotubes (CNT) and nanoparticles of Hydrated Calcium Silicate (C-S-H) incorporated into the matrix of these materials, which can be categorized as composite, in this case nanocomposites. Materials performance is usually related to the existence of considerable flaws or deficiencies in some properties or characteristics. The incorporation of nanomaterials is a possibility for the amelioration or even create some characteristic and materials property. The use of CNT has already been investigated and the results have shown that though with increase of costs produced materials have positive characteristics such compression and tensile resistance increase and still elasticity modulus increase. Currently steel is used but the fibers and filler materials such as CNT may be an alternative because they can have tensile strength up to 100 times higher than steel, as recent research has shown. The main assumption is that nanoparticles such as C-S-H and oxidized multi walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT-OX) favor the kinetics of cement hydration and contribute to the nucleation and crystal growth enhancing material characteristics produced as concrete and mortar, for example. In general, it was verified that the combined additions of C-S-H with Ca / Si = 0.8 ratio with nanotubes brought positive results of nanocomposite nanostructure improvements, verified by porosity, permeability analysis and qualitative analysis of electron microscopy images. An increase in the value of the mechanical properties analyzed was shown as a 33% increase in compressive strength, 38% increase in modulus of elasticity and 30% in tensile strength. It is also concluded that using the C-S-H addition with Ca/Si ratio = 0.8 in isolation is a viable alternative to produce relevant results with a lower cost than to opt for mixed additions, since CNT are still materials with high cost and more complex production than C-S-H.A construção civil vem se desenvolvendo tecnologicamente acompanhando o crescimento do número de obras em vários setores como habitacional, transportes, industrial e infraestrutura. Este projeto pretende contribuir cientificamente para o desenvolvimento de materiais cimentícios através do estudo da utilização de nanomateriais de carbono como nanotubos de carbono (NTC) e também nanopartículas de Silicato de Cálcio Hidratado (C-S-H) incorporadas à matriz destes materiais, que podem ser classificados como compósitos, neste caso nanocompósitos. O desempenho dos materias normalmente está relacionado a existência de falhas ou deficiências consideráveis em algumas propriedades e caracteristicas. A incorporação de nanomateriais é uma possibilidade para o melhoramento ou até mesmo a criação de alguma característica ou propriedade em determinados materiais. A utilização de NTC já vem sendo pesquisada e os resultados têm demonstrado que, embora com elevação dos custos, os materiais produzidos apresentam características positivas como: aumento da resistência à compressão e flexão e também do módulo de elasticidade. Atualmente usa-se o aço e fibras mas a adição de materiais como NTC pode ser uma alternativa, pois estes podem apresentar resistência à tração até 100 vezes maior que o aço, conforme pesquisas recentes já demonstram. A hipótese principal é que nanopartículas de C-S-H e também NTC favorecem a cinética de hidratação de cimentos e contribuem para a nucleação e crescimentos de cristais de produtos hidratados melhorando características dos materiais produzidos como por exemplo: concretos e argamassas. De forma geral, verificou-se que as adições combinadas de C-S-H com relação Ca/Si=0,8 com nanotubos de carbono paredes múltiplas oxidados (NTCPM-OX) trouxeram resultados positivos de melhoria na nanoestrutura dos nanocompósitos produzidos, verificados pela análise da porosidade, permeabilidade e também pela análise qualitativa de imagens de microscopia eletrônica. Veficou-se aumento do valor das propriedades mecânicas analisadas como 33% de aumento da resistência à compressão, 38% de aumento do módulo de elasticidade dinâmico e 30% da resistência à tração. Conclui-se ainda que usar a adição de C-S-H com relação Ca/Si=0,8 de forma isolada é uma alternativa viável produzindo resultados relevantes com um custo mais baixo que optar por adições mistas, visto que ainda os NTC são materiais com custo elevado e produção mais complexa do que o C-S-H
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
Get PDFWe 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
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
