X-ray diffraction data for "Breaking the Symmetry of a Meso Compound by Isotopic Substitution: Synthesis and Stereochemical Assignment of Monodeuterated cis-Perhydroazulene"
No full textRaw X-ray diffraction images for the publication F. Saito, D. Gerbig, J. Becker, P. R. Schreiner, Org. Lett. 2021, 23, 1, 113–117 ( https://pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.1021/acs.orglett.0c03795 ) File format is the Bruker sfrm frame format. The data can be processed with the SAINT program by BRUKER AXS or using alternative and/or open source tools as XDS ( http://xds.mpimf-heidelberg.mpg.de/ ) together with sfrmtools ( https://homepage.univie.ac.at/tim.gruene/research/programs/conv/sfrmtools/ ) or FabIO ( Knudsen, E. B., Sorensen, H. O., Wright, J. P., Goret, G. & Kieffer, J. (2013). J. Appl. Cryst. 46, 537-539. ). FabIO provides the following information about the file format: "The bruker format uses 80 char lines in key : value format. In the first 512*5 bytes of the header there should be a HDRBLKS key, whose value denotes how many 512 byte blocks are in the total header. The header is always n*5*512 bytes, otherwise it wont contain whole key: value pairs. Data is stored in three blocks: 1. data (uint8) 2. overflow (uint32) 3. underflow (int32). The blocks are zero padded to a multiple of 16 bits.This work was supported by the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation (postdoctoral fellowship to F.S.)
MeSH term explosion and author rank improve expert recommendations
No full textInformation overload is an often-cited phenomenon that reduces the productivity, efficiency and efficacy of scientists. One challenge for scientists is to find appropriate collaborators in their research. The literature describes various solutions to the problem of expertise location, but most current approaches do not appear to be very suitable for expert recommendations in biomedical research. In this study, we present the development and initial evaluation of a vector space model-based algorithm to calculate researcher similarity using four inputs: 1) MeSH terms of publications; 2) MeSH terms and author rank; 3) exploded MeSH terms; and 4) exploded MeSH terms and author rank. We developed and evaluated the algorithm using a data set of 17,525 authors and their 22,542 papers. On average, our algorithms correctly predicted 2.5 of the top 5/10 coauthors of individual scientists. Exploded MeSH and author rank outperformed all other algorithms in accuracy, followed closely by MeSH and author rank. Our results show that the accuracy of MeSH term-based matching can be enhanced with other metadata such as author rank
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
"Closing the R&D Gap, Evaluating the Sources of R&D Spending"
No full textBoth spending and tax policies have been implemented in the United States with the goal of stimulating private sector research and development (R&D). Karier questions whether current R&D policy, especially the research and experimentation tax credit, can contribute to closing the gap between nondefense expenditures on R&D in the United States and such expenditures in other countries, such as Japan and Germany. He also explores possible changes to our current R&D policy to make it more effective.
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

The R&D Tax Incentives
No full textThis article sets out some background information and reflections of the author on the R&D tax incentive schemes included in the Common Corporate Tax Base (CCTB) Proposal. In particular the author analyzes the stimulus to private R&D through ad hoc tax incentives included in the CCTB Proposal and dives into the actual provisions included in the Proposal highlighting the most relevant issues connected with their design and interpretation. Moreover, the author explores the interaction between the CCTB Proposal and the granting by Member States of domestic R&D tax incentives
Spectroscopic analysis of the structure of amorphous nitrogenated carbon films after wear tests
No full textThe effects of wear tests on the electronic structure of amorphous nitrogenated carbon (a-C:H:N) films prepared in a radiofrequency plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition system from a mixture of methane and nitrogen have been investigated. The tribological properties were investigated with a tribometer in a ball-on-disk configuration. For different N-2 fractions, film structure and chemical composition were examined using conventional Raman and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and also by means of high-lateral-resolution soft X-ray photoemission microscopy using synchrotron radiation. Nitrogen incorporation into the as-deposited amorphous carbon network results in an increase in the number of N-sp(2)-C bonded sites with respect to the films grown in a nitrogen-free atmosphere. The wear stability of the films was analyzed as a function of the nitrogen fraction, and a thorough description of the electronic structure was obtained in the as-deposited state and after wear testing. High-lateral-resolution photoemission microscopy reveals for the first time that inhomogeneities within the film after wear testing are correlated to nitrogen incorporation. The study of energy distribution curves and high-lateral-resolution images on the nitrogenated samples shows that a modification of the surface chemistry occurs by mechanical action.
