Inter-modal Raman amplification in space-division multiplexed systems
Get PDFWe theoretically analyze and experimentally demonstrate the possibility of amplifying optical signals in an
unrepeatered mode-division multiplexed transmission system, through inter-modal stimulated Raman scattering
process between signal and pump beams coupled onto distinct modes of a few-mode graded-index optical fiber
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
Imagerie tridimensionnelle multiphotonique des tissus biologiques à l'aide d'impulsions façonnées
No full textThis thesis presents the application of ultrashort pulses in the context of multiphoton microscopy and quantum optics. We will first introduce some pulse shaping techniques and we will detail in particular the operation and the characterization of our pulse shaping apparatus. We will study an optically addressed diffractive 2D phase mask, allowing both spectral and phase shaping. Then, we will see how pulse shaping can be an effective tool providing tunable selective fluorophore excitation in two-photon microscopy. Thus, we will present an experiment of coherent control of the 2-photon absorption in a developing drosophila embryo. Afterwards, we will describe a prism-based pulse shaping scheme in conjunction with a time-multiplexing approach of the pulses that allowed the simultaneous acquisition of multiple fluorophores. Ultimately, we will present the application of ultrashort pulses to measure time and dispersion at the standard quantum limit. In particular we will detail theoretically and experimentally a new pulse shaping scheme based on birefringent materials in order to produce the temporal derivative of the electric field or the temporal derivative of its envelope.Cette thèse présente l'utilisation d'impulsions ultracourtes pour des expériences de microscopie non-linéaire et d'optique quantique. Dans un premier temps, nous exposerons plusieurs techniques de façonnage d'impulsions et nous détaillerons en particulier le fonctionnement et la caractérisation de notre dispositif de façonnage. Nous étudierons l'utilisation d'un masque de phase 2D diffractif adressé optiquement qui permet un façonnage à la fois en phase et en amplitude spectrale. Par la suite, nous verrons comment le façonnage d'impulsions ultra-courtes peut être un outil efficace pour sélectionner les fluorophores excités en microscopie à deux photons. Pour cela, nous présenterons une expérience de contrôle cohérent de l'absorption à deux photons dans un embryon de drosophile vivant avec notre système de façonnage programmable. Ensuite nous décrirons un schéma de façonnage simplifié à base de prismes, qui, conjointement avec une approche de multiplexage temporel des impulsions, permet d'imager simultanément plusieurs fluorophores. Enfin, nous discuterons l'utilisation d'impulsions ultracourtes pour des expériences de mesures de temps et de dispersion à la limite quantique. Nous détaillerons en particulier une étude théorique et expérimentale d'un système de façonnage original à base de matériaux biréfringents pour produire la dérivée temporelle d'un champ électrique ou bien la dérivée temporelle de son enveloppe
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
