Thermoplastic deformation of ferromagnetic CoFe-based bulk metallic glasses
No full textThe superplastic deformation behavior of the ferromagnetic Co31Fe31Nb8B30 bulk metallic glass (BMG) in the supercooled liquid region was investigated. At a given temperature, the BMG exhibits a Newtonian behavior at low strain rates but a non-Newtonian behavior at high strain rates. The high thermal stability of this glassy alloy system offers an enough processing window to thermoplastic forming (TPF), and the strong processing ability was examined by simple micro-replication experiments. It is demonstrated that the TPF formability on length scales ranging down to nanometers can be achieved in the selected experimental condition. Based on the analysis of deformation behavior, the nearly full density sample (i.e. nearly 100%), was produced from water-atomized glassy powders and consolidated by the hot-pressing technique. The sample exhibits good soft-magnetic and mechanical properties, i.e., low coercive force of 0.43 Oe, high initial permeability of 4100 and high Vickers hardness 1398. These results suggest that the hot-pressing process opens up possibilities for the commercial exploitation of BMGs in engineering applications
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
Glass-forming ability and magnetic properties of CoFeMoYB bulk glassy alloys with large supercooled liquid region
No full textCo-based bulk glassy alloys with diameters up to 4 mm were formed in Co41+ xFe28Mo4Y5-xB22 (x = 0-1.5) system. The effect of Y content on the glass-forming ability and soft-magnetic properties of the Co-based bulk glassy alloys was investigated. With an increase of Y content from 3.5 to 5 at%, in addition to slight increases of glass transition temperature from 843 to 847K and supercooled liquid region increases from 73 to 94 K, the addition of Y was found to be effective in approaching alloy to a eutectic point. Except for high glass-forming ability, the Co-based bulk glassy alloys exhibit good soft-magnetic properties, i.e., high saturation magnetization of 0.80-0.87 T, low coercive force of 2.87-3.34 A/m, high effective permeability at 1 kHz of 1.26-1.74x10(4) under a field of 1 A/m.

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
The soft magnetic properties of ring-shaped (Co0.6Fe0.3Ni0.1)(68)(B0.811Si0.189)(27)Nb-5 bulk metallic glasses
No full textRing-shaped (Co0.6Fe0.3Ni0.1)(68)(B0.811Si0.189)(27)Nb-5 bulk samples with an outer diameter of 10 mm, an inner diameter of 6 mm, and a thickness of 1 mm were successfully prepared by copper mold casting. The effects of annealing treatments on magnetic properties of the ring-shaped bulk sample were investigated. After the optimum annealing treatment, the resulting ring-shaped bulk sample exhibits good magnetic properties, i.e., low coercive force of 0.55 A/m, high maximum permeability of 433 000, and high permeability of 19 400 at 50 Hz under an AC field amplitude of 1.2 A/m, respectively. In addition, the ring-shaped bulk sample also shows low core loss of 0.09 W/kg at 50 Hz under induction of 0.5 T. The synthesis of ring-shaped bulk samples with good magnetic properties is encouraging for their potential applications as functional materials in the future. (C) 2013 AIP Publishing LLC
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
