Hydrogen-controlled interlayer exchange coupling in Fe/LaHx multilayers
No full textMagneto-optic Kerr magnetometry and neutron reflectometry reveal that Fe layers exhibit magnetic exchange coupling through LaHx spacer layers. Ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic coupling is observed on multilayers of these materials depending on the thickness of the hydride layers, but without oscillatory behavior. Starting from metallic La dihydride spacer layers the effect of dissolving increasingly more hydrogen was examined. Sign and value of the coupling depend crucially on the hydrogen content x. The coupling can be inverted from antiferromagnetic to ferromagnetic and vice versa. These alterations are due to modifications of the electronic structure of the hydride. When the hydrogen absorption saturates the hydride layers become insulating and the exchange coupling is likely to disappear. In this final state the multilayers are always characterized by a very soft ferromagnetic rectangular hysteresis curve. Upon removal of the hydrogen to the initial concentration the original magnetic structure is restored. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved
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

Structure and Thermodynamic Properties of the NaMgH(3) Perovskite: A Comprehensive Study RID A-2096-2009
No full textOne of the bottlenecks in the implementation of a hydrogen economy is the development of storage materials that can uptake high content of H2 and release it within a suitable temperature and pressure range. Among the proposed hydride systems, the perovskite NaMgH3 is receiving increasing attention, not only as the Mg ternary based hydride with the highest hydrogen gravimetric (6 wt %) and volumetric density (88 g L-1) but also as a stable hydride likely to be formed in the transformation reactions of mixed hydrides. However, there is a large scatter in the literature for both the structure of the NaMgH3 compound and the thermodynamics of the hydrogenation/dehydrogenation processes. In this paper a critical review of the literature data, supported by a new set of experimental (in situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy, high-pressure differential scanning calorimetry, pressure composition isotherms) and theoretical data is presented. The influence of ball milling on the microstructure is studied in the NaMgH 3 in comparison to NaH and MgH2. The infrared spectrum of NaMgH3 compound, assigned by calculated and experimental results, is characterized by vibrational regions around 1100 and 600 cm-1. In situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction measurements show the desorption reaction of NaMgH3 into NaH and Mg at about 673 K under 0.2 MPa H2, and the successive reabsorption of NaH and Mg back to NaMgH3 at 623 K under 0.5 MPa H2. From high-pressure differential calorimetry, it was measured a formation enthalpy of 141 kJ/mol f.u for NaMgH3 compound. It was confirmed the possible reaction of NaH with Mg with observation of NaMgH3 formation in 1.0 MPa H2. Finally, this work provides a thermodynamic description of the NaMgH3 phase by a critical assessment of the available information using the CALPHAD approach and the equilibrium pressure-temperature phase diagram is presented
