The design and synthesis of near infra-red absorbing inorganic pigments
No full textMaterials which exhibit strong absorption in the Near Infra-Red (NIR) region have applications as laser-marking pigments, IR filters in photovoltaics and CCD detectors, medical imaging devices and absorbing coatings in solar thermal collectors. New NIR absorbing materials based on iron (II) and copper (II) frameworks have been designed using knowledge of predicted d-energy levels and associated transitions. Materials from this class have been synthesised and characterised in terms of structure and optical properties.A family of 13 iron phosphates and fluorophosphates have been obtained using hydrofluorothermal routes and characterised using single crystal X-ray diffraction. These materials show a variety of structural elements with one-, two- and three-dimensional connectivity. For example RbFe3(PO3F)2(PO2(OH)2)F2 has a framework structure consisting of face-sharing FeO4F2 octahedra linked by PO3F tetrahedra, which are orientated such that the fluoride are terminal and line inter-framework space. This includes the first example of a hydrothermally synthesised iron chlorofluorophosphate, (NH4)2Fe(II)Fe(III)(PO3F)2FCl2, which contains sheets of Fe(II)O2Cl4 octahedra linked together by edge-sharing chloride and chains of Fe(III)O4F2 octahedra trans linked by µ2-bridging fluoride.UV/Vis/NIR spectra have been collected for 49 compounds and correlations between structure and NIR absorbing properties have been derived. A trend in ligand fields across the series SiO4, PO4 SO4 determined SiO4 showing the weakest ligand field making compounds with this ligand most suitable for NIR absorbing applications. Eight of the most promising materials have been tested for their laser-marking properties using a Nd:YAG laser at Merck, Darmstadt. The effect of particles size on the optical and laser-marking properties has been investigated using K2FeP2O7 as an example. The decrease in particle size caused a red-shift in the absorbance maxima, and produced a well dispersed pigment within the test polymer matrix. Out of these eight compounds, Cu2PO4OH and Cu4PO4O exhibited laser-marking properties comparable to other commercial Merck NIR absorbing pigments
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
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
Critical user forums – An effective user research method for inclusive design
No full textInclusive, or universal, design is about designing more accessible products and services for the widest possible range of users, regardless of age and capabilities. It requires better understanding and empathy with all potential users. Traditional user research methods are limited in accommodating a wide range of users and hence there is a need to find more appropriate methods of user research for inclusive design. This paper describes a method called ‘Critical User Forums,’ which involves direct interaction between design teams and a mixed group of users with severe disabilities. The evaluation of the effectiveness of this method for inclusive design is based on the interviews of eight UK design consultancies that took part in a design competition emphasising inclusive design and involving users, known as the DBA Design Challenge. The contribution of critical users to the DBA projects is discussed and the design teams’ viewpoints on such user involvement in the process are investigated. It concludes that Critical User Forums provide an ideal chance for designers to understand a wider range of users through direct interaction with them and thus helping designers build empathy with all potential users
Author, publisher and bookseller : a tripartite synergy in Nigerian book industry
No full textThis work is about the roles of Author, Publisher and Bookseller in Book development in
Nigeria. The paper started by delving into the history of Book Publishing in Nigeria after
which it proceeded by defining who an author, a publisher, and a bookseller is and
expatiated on the indispensable roles of these key actors in Nigerian Book Industry and in
the emerging Information Society. Furthermore, the various constraints to book
development were identified while the paper advised on how the Book Industry can be
further promoted in Nigeria. However, the paper concluded and made recommendations
on how the Book sector can help in enhancing scholarship in the country
Starlight.
