    The aim of the present work is to study experimentally the formation of the capillary during the drilling and welding by laser beam and to develop the numerical simulation which allows following the dynamics and the evolution of the keyhole. The zinc was chosen as a test material because its thermodynamical properties are well known. To simplify the problem, in the first place the drilling mechanism was studied. Two experimental methods were used to characterize the evolution of the keyhole: the Direct Observation of Drilled Hole method, which allows the visualization of the keyhole after the application of laser pulses of different durations, and Zn-Quartz method, which allows the direct observation of keyhole evolution with CCD camera through the layer of quartz. Then, the information on keyhole evolution was used to develop the simulation of drilling mechanism. After studying the beam power deposition inside the capillary with taking in account the multiple photon reflections, and after estimation of the energy and matter loss during the process, we developed the simulation with FEM software COMSOL Multiphysics, which contains coupled heat transfer, fluid flow and free surface problem allowing considering the effect of recoil pressure on liquid phase ejection. We could observe the formation of an important bolster surrounding the keyhole and the increase of keyhole depth with time. Next, we studied the formation of the keyhole during the laser welding, in other words, during the displacement of the heat source. Using the same technique that was developed for laser drilling, we have obtained the information on keyhole evolution during zinc-quartz welding. We have created the simple simulation, where keyhole temperature and profile were considered as known a priori. We have stated that this model, which takes in account only conduction heat transfer problem, allows to reproduce well the shape of the melted zone both for zinc-zinc and zinc-quartz couplesL’objectif de ce travail est d'étudier expérimentalement la formation du capillaire durant le perçage et le soudage par faisceau laser, et de développer une simulation numérique permettant de reproduire la dynamique de formation et d'évolution du capillaire. Nous avons fait le choix d’utiliser comme matériau test le Zinc, en raison de ses propriétés thermodynamiques. Afin de simplifier le problème, nous avons étudié dans un premier temps le mécanisme de perçage. Deux méthodes expérimentales ont été utilisées pour caractériser l'évolution de la géométrie du capillaire : La méthode DODO (Direct Observation of Drilled hOle ) permet de visualiser le capillaire après perçage pour différentes durées et la méthode Zn-Quartz permet d’observer directement son évolution temporelle par camera rapide à travers une lame de quartz. Puis nous avons utilisé cette évolution pour mettre au point une simulation du mécanisme de perçage. Après avoir étudié le dépôt de puissance à l’intérieur d’un capillaire en tenant compte des réflexions multiples et estimé l'importance de la perte d'énergie et de matière lors du processus, nous avons développé une simulation en utilisant le logiciel Comsol Multiphysics couplant l'équation thermique, l'équation de Navier Stokes et prenant en compte le déplacement du métal fondu sous l’action de la pression de recul. Dans ce cas, on observe la formation d’un bourrelet important au bord du trou et une augmentation de la profondeur du capillaire. Ensuite nous avons étudié la formation du capillaire durant le soudage laser, c'est-à-dire avec déplacement de la source. A partir des techniques mises en œuvre pour l’étude du perçage nous avons obtenu l’évolution de la forme du capillaire dans le cas du soudage Zn/Quartz. Nous avons réalisé une simulation relativement simple en supposant la géométrie et la température du capillaire connues a priori. Nous avons constaté qu’un modèle simple, modélisant uniquement les transferts thermiques par conduction, permet de bien simuler la forme de la zone fondue pour les couples Zn/Zn et Zn-quartz

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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

    We 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 PDF
    We 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 text
    We 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
