Focusing-defocusing of keV electrons along [001] and [101] Fe atomic chains
No full textWe have investigated the focusing and defocusing process of a primary electron wave along Fe atomic chains. To this end, we measured the intensity of the LVV Auger signal, as a function of the incidence angle of the primary beam, from a Co him buried in a Fe matrix. We found that maximum focusing efficiency takes place for six scatterers along [001]Fe atomic chains, then defocusing starts to set in. However, a significant anisotropy is still detectable at eleven scatterers deep in the bulk. The anisotropy depth profile we measured has been used to evaluate the anisotropy in more complex situations, such as thin films and multilayers
Monitoring the crystallization process of nano-confined organic molecules by synchrotron X-ray diffraction

No full textWe report the results of a Surface X-Ray Diffraction (SXRD) study of Fe nanostructured films depositedon c(2×2)-N/Cu(100) at room temperature (RT), with Fe coverage ΘFe=0.5ML and ΘFe=1 ML. Thec(2×2)-N/Cu(100) surface is an example of self-organised system, that can be used for growth of arraysof metal nano-islands and organic molecules assemblies. We chose two different values of N coverage,ΘN=0.3 ML and ΘN=0.5 ML, the second value corresponding to N saturation. We monitored the presenceof surface diffraction peaks in hk scans and we performed Crystal Truncation Rods (CTR) analysiswith ROD fitting programme. In the case of ΘN=0.5 ML, i.e. at saturation coverage, the CTR could be fittedwith one surface domain with p4gm(2×2) symmetry. In the surface cell adopted, N atoms occupy fourfoldhollow sites, with Fe (intermixed with Cu) giving rise to a “clock” reconstruction previously observedon iron nitride films obtained by co-deposition and annealing. This result is an indirect confirmation of Nsurface segregation on top of the Fe films, occurring during the growth at RT. When subsaturation N coverage(ΘN=0.3 ML) is used as a substrate for Fe deposition, the best results could be obtained with amodel where two surface domains are present: the first one corresponds to a surface cell with Fe sittingin four-fold hollow sites on bare Cu areas, with possible interdiffusion in the second lattice. The seconddomain is assigned to growth of Fe on the N-covered square islands occurring once the bare Cu areasare fully covered. The SXRD analysis on N-covered surface domains shows that the mechanism of reconstructionand of N segregation on top layer is already active at RT for all N-coverage values
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
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
