Development of Organocatalytic stereoselective SN1 type reactions
No full textThe proposal in my thesis has been the study of Stereoselective α-alkylation through SN1 type reaction. SN1 type reaction involves a stabilized and reactive carbocation intermediate By taking advantages of stability of particular carbocations, the use of carbocations in selective reactions has been important. In this work has been necessary to know the stability and reactivity of carbocations. And the work of Mayr group has helped to rationalize the behaviour and reactivity between the carbocations and nucleophiles by the use of Mayr’s scale of reactivity.
The use of alcohols to performed the stable and reactive carbocations have been the key in my thesis. The direct nucleophilic substitution of alcohols has been a crucial scope in the field of organic synthesis, because offer a wide range of intermediates for the synthesis of natural products and pharmaceutics synthesis. In particular the catalytic nucleophilic direct substitution of alcohols represents a novel methodology for the preparation of a variety of derivatives, and water only as the sub-product in the reaction.
The stereochemical control of the transformation C-H bond into stereogenic C-C bond adjacent to carbonyl functionalized has been studied for asymmetric catalysis. And the field of organocatalysis has introduced the use of small organic molecule as catalyst for stereoselective transformations.
Merging these two concepts Organocatalysis and Mayr’s scale, my thesis has developed a new approach for the α-alkylation of aldehydes and ketones through SN1 type reaction.La proposta della mia tesi è stato lo studio stereoselettiva di α-alchilazione attraverso la reazione di tipo SN1. SN1 reazione tipo comporta un stabilizzato e reattivo carbocatione intermedio Prendendo vantaggi della stabilità dei carbocationi particolari, l'uso di carbocationi in reazioni selettive è stato importante. In questo lavoro è stato necessario conoscere la stabilità e reattività dei carbocationi. E il lavoro di Mayr gruppo ha contribuito a razionalizzare il comportamento e reattività tra i carbocationi e nucleofili con l'uso della scala Mayr di reattività.
L'uso di alcool ai eseguito i carbocationi stabili e reattive sono state la chiave nella mia tesi. La sostituzione nucleofila diretta di alcoli è stata portata cruciale nel campo della sintesi organica, poiché offrono un'ampia gamma di intermedi per la sintesi di prodotti naturali e di sintesi farmaceutica. In particolare il catalizzatore sostituzione nucleofila diretta di alcoli rappresenta una nuova metodologia per la preparazione di una varietà di derivati, e l'acqua come unico sottoprodotto nella reazione.
Il controllo stereochimica del legame CH trasformazione in legame C-C stereogenico adiacente al carbonile funzionalizzata è stata studiata per la catalisi asimmetrica. E il campo dell'organocatalisi ha introdotto l'uso di piccola molecola organica come catalizzatore per trasformazioni stereoselettive.
L'unione dell'organocatalisi questi due concetti e la scala Mayr, la mia tesi ha sviluppato un nuovo approccio per la α-alchilazione di aldeidi e chetoni, attraverso reazione di tipo SN
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
