Spectroscopies nanometriques de structures plasmoniques et de nanocristaux semi-conducteurs
No full textJ'ai réalisé pour cette thèse des travaux expérimentaux à l'aide de la microscopie et de la spectroscopie électronique portant sur l'étude de nanostructures plasmoniques et de nanocristaux semi-conducteurs. Le but étant d'etudier leurs propriétés optiques sur des dimensions spatiales de l'ordre du nm. A cette échelle il est possible d'observer le champs proche électrique associé aux modes de résonances plasmons de surface supportées par des nanostructures métalliques. Ainsi j'ai pu étudier l'effet de la présence de rugosités sur des nano-bâtonnets d'or et constater que leur présence modifiait localement la structure du champs proche électrique. Des mesures combinées par spectroscopie de perte d'énergie des électrons (EELS) et de cathodoluminescence ont permis de comparer les réponses mesurées en champs proches à celle effectuées en champs lointain. Une étude faite par EELS portant sur le couplage entre deux nano-bâtonnets métalliques positionnés bout à bout et séparés par une distance de quelques dizaines de nanomètres a permis de cartographier la localisation de modes hybridés séparément sur chaque branche. Enfin des études comparatives de cathodoluminescence et de photoluminescence sur des points quantiques isolés ont permis de constater l'équivalence de l'information collectées par ces deux techniques sur ce type d'émetteurs de lumièreFor this thesis, I have realised some experimental works using electron microscopy and electron spectroscopies for the study of plasmonic nanostructures and semiconductor nanocrystals . The aim being to study their optical properties with spatial resolutions of the order of a few nm. At this level it is possible to observe the electric near-field associated to the localised surface plasmon resonances supported by metallic nanostructures . So I was able to study the effect due to the presence of roughness on single gold nanorods and I have found that their presence locally alterate the structure of the electric near-field . Combined measurement of electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS ) and cathodoluminescence spectroscopy were used to compare the near-field and far-field responses respectively. A study by EELS on the coupling between two metal nanorods positioned end to end and separated by a disance of tens of nanometers was used to map the localisation of hybridised modes separately on each branch of the dimers. Finally, comparative studies of cathodoluminescence and photoluminescence on single quantum dots have shown the equivalence of the information collected by these two techniques for such light emitter

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
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
