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
Corrole basicity in the excited states: Insights on structure-property relationships
No full textSteady-state fluorescence measurements and quantum-chemical DFT geometry optimizations are applied to extend the structure-property relationships between the free-base corrole macrocycle conformation and its basicity to the lowest excited S-1 and T-1 states. Direct basicity estimation in the lowest excited S-1 state is demonstrated by means of fluorescence quantum yield measurements. The long wavelength T1 tautomer is found to retain its basicity in the S(1 )state, whereas the short wavelength T2 tautomer shows a noticeable decrease in basicity in the S-1 state, which is related to the in-plane tilting of the pyrrole ring to be protonated. The conformational changes upon going from the ground to the lowest excited T-1 state and the influence of the meso-aryl substitution pattern on the overall degree of distortions and tilting of the pyrrole ring to be protonated are also discussed from the point of view of macrocycle basicity.Prof. W.

Blood and life in the Old Testament
No full textThe primary objective of this thesis is to present an integrated inteipretation of the significance of blood in Israelite thought, based around Lev 17:10-14, which states that blood is the life of every creature. Previous works on OT blood ritual have given very little attention to the wider symbolic context. The question of Lev 17:11 can be better understood when we have explored the OT and the Israelite/Judahite concept of life and death in terms of the presence of fluid in the body, and the manipulation of blood on behalf of a person. It will become evident that in order to fully appreciate the significance of blood in the OT, blood must be seen not only in its own right (Lev 17:10-14), but also in relation to the general role of fluids within the life of the body. The first chapter looks at the place of blood in OT physiology, and at aspects of its cultural significance. The subsequent two chapters consider fluids in general, and their significance for ideas of death in literary and mortuary contexts. Chapters four and five will then show how the understanding of blood as life can throw light on the ritual use of blood in reversing the dead condition of the "leper" and the corpse-contaminated person and on the narratives apparently featuring a protective use of blood in Exodus. Chapter six comprises a short summary and a discussion of some broader implications. These include remarks on the dietary prohibition in Leviticus, and on the significance of this research for an understanding of the role of blood in Temple sacrifice. The chapters draw on a variety of methods, including textual analysis and on a symbolic analysis derived from social anthropology. Their main purpose is to indicate that life is, in some physical sense, located in blood and is associated with body fluids. Literary and archaeological evidence will also be invoked to show that blood and other liquid substances may also have been thought capable of postponing or even reversing the dying process
From heterogeneous modeling and analysis to an on line prediction tool to improve QoS of interdependent networks
No full textThe work presented in this paper is in the frame of MICIE EU FP7 project (Tool for
systemic risk analysis and secure mediation of data exchanged across linked CI
information infrastructures), which has the main aim of designing and implementing a so-
called MICIE alerting system to identify, in real time, the level of possible threats
induced on a given Critical Infrastructure (CI) by undesired events happened in the same
CI and/or in other interdependent CIs. Heterogeneous models, as the ones presented in
this paper, are under development to perform short term predictions of the QoS of the CIs
according to the services of the CI, the level of interdependences between the CIs, and
the undesired events identified in the reference scenario
Libs en líquidos acústicamente levitados: optimización de parámetros experimentales
No full textResumen
Los análisis cuantitativos de la composición química del agua son fundamentales para su uso
correcto, tratamiento o purificación de ésta. La Espectroscopia de Ruptura Inducida por Láser
asistida por la Levitación acústica (LIBS-Lev) tiene ventajas prácticas sobre otras técnicas
convencionales de análisis de composición química; y ha demostrado ser una herramienta
útil en la detección de metales pesados en agua, en el orden de 1 ppm. Sin embargo, la
mayoría de las potenciales aplicaciones de esta metodología requieren límites de detección
del orden de 0.1 ppm o 0.1 mg/L. En este trabajo de tesis se describen diversas
implementaciones a la metodología LIBS-Lev, que permitieron obtener un límite de
detección para Pb en el orden de 10 ppb
