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
Sedation Pathway Utilizing COMFORT B scale for Intubated PICU Patients
No full textPurpose: This project developed an evidence-based sedation pathway specific to a single PICU to optimize the use of the COMFORT B assessment tool and improve communication on sedation strategies for intubated patients in the PICU
Background: Sedation assessment tools like COMFORT B are used by PICUs to provide objective measurement to sedation. Sedation pathways address aspects of the liberation bundle to reduce acquired comorbidities like adequate sedation, delirium, withdrawal, promoting early mobility, and family engagement.
Sample/Setting: During a 6-week period in a 12 bed PICU, intubated patient who met inclusion criteria used the COMFORT B pathway to titrate sedation towards an ordered goal.
Methods: Intubated patients who didn’t meet exclusion criteria used the pathway. The providers used a smart text phrase and ordered goal sedation. The sedation pathway included two separate, color-coded pathways for the nurse and provider. Role-specific guidance on management for patients based on their COMFORT B and NISS scores was compared to ordered goal.
Results: The data collected focused on COMFORT B quality as compared to ordered goal sedation. Over 6 weeks, 11 patients (mean age of 17.9 months) with a total intubation days of 88 (mean of 8 intubated days per patient) were included. COMFORT B scores were recorded 70% of the time with a score range of (8 to 27). Providers utilized the smart text phrase in the daily progress note 90% of the time 23% of the time no daily range documented while the patient care order of goal sedation was utilized 85% of the time.
Conclusion: High compliance (70% smart text phrase and 85% ordered goal sedation) optimistically implies sedation communication occurred between PICU team on daily rounds. Quality of score does not capture scoring frequency nor the interventions. In the future, an order set will allow for more consistent documentation and data collection
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe 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

Operator-state correspondence in simple current extended conformal field theories: toward a general understanding of chiral conformal field theories and topological orders
No full textIn this paper, we revisit the operator-state correspondence in the Majorana conformal field theory (CFT) with emphasis on its semion representation. Whereas the semion representation (or Z2 extension of the chiral Ising CFT) gives a concise "Abelian"(or invertible) representation at the level of fusion rules and quantum states, there exists a subtlety when considering the chiral multipoint correlation function. In this sense, the operator-state correspondence in the semion sector of the fermionic theory inevitably contains a difficulty coming from its anomalous conformal dimension 1/16 as a Z2 symmetry operator. By analyzing the asymptotic behaviors of the existing correlation functions, we propose a nontrivial correspondence between the chiral conformal blocks and bulk correlation functions containing both order and disorder fields. One can generalize this understanding to ZN models or fractional supersymmetric models (for which there exist long-standing open problems). We expect that this may improve our understanding of the simple current extension of CFT, which commonly appears in the studies of topologically ordered systems.Ministry of Education (MOE)National Research Foundation (NRF)Published versionThis work is supported by the National Research Foundation, Singapore under the NRF Fellowship Award (NRF-NRFF12-2020-005), Singapore Ministry of Ed- ucation (MOE) Academic Research Fund Tier 3 Grant (No. MOE-MOET32023-0003) “Quantum Geometric Advantage”, and Singapore Ministry of Education (MOE) Academic Re- search Fund Tier 2 Grant (No. MOE-T2EP50124-0017)
Structure-based multilevel descriptors for high-throughput screening of elastomers
No full textTo discover new materials, high-throughput screening (HTS) with machine learning (ML) requires universally available descriptors that can accurately predict the desired properties. For elastomers, experimental and simulation data in current descriptors may not be available for all candidates of interest, hindering elastomer discovery through HTS. To address this challenge, we introduce structure-based multilevel (SM) descriptors of elastomers derived solely from molecular structure that is universally available. Our SM descriptors are hierarchically organized to capture both local soft and hard segment structures as well as the global structures of elastomers. With the SM-Morgan Fingerprint (SM-MF) descriptor, one of our SM descriptors, a machine learning model accurately predicts elastomer toughness with a remarkable accuracy of 0.91. Furthermore, an HTS pipeline is established to swiftly screen elastomers with targeted toughness. We also demonstrate the generality and applicability of SM descriptors by using them to construct HTS pipelines for screening elastomers with a targeted critical strain or Young's modulus. The user-friendliness and low computational cost of SM descriptors make them a promising tool to significantly enhance HTS in the search for novel materials.Ministry of Education (MOE)National Research Foundation (NRF)This research/project is supported by the National Research Foundation, Singapore (NRF) under NRF’s Medium Sized Centre: Singapore Hybrid-Integrated Next-Generation μ-Electronics (SHINE) Centre funding programme.

Topological enhancement of exciton-polariton coherence with non-Hermitian morphing
No full textThe non-Hermitian skin effect (NHSE) has been intensely investigated over the
past few years and has unveiled new topological phases, which have no
counterparts in Hermitian systems. Here we consider the hybridization between
the NHSE in an exciton-polariton waveguide and a localized defect mode. By
tuning the non-Hermiticity, we find that the resulting ground-state of the
system is both spatially extended and energetically separated from other modes
in the system. When polariton lasing occurs in the system, we find an enhanced
spatial coherence compared to regular waveguides, which is robust in the
presence of disorder.Ministry of Education (MOE)Published versionThe work was supported by the Ministry of Education, Singapore (Grant No. MOE-T2EP50121-0020)
