Magnetism and structure of Ca3Co206 and Ca3Co409 thin films prepared by pulsed laser deposition
No full textCette thèse porte sur l'étude des propriétés structurales et magnétiques des couches minces de cobaltite de types Ca3C0206 et Ca3C0409 déposées par ablation laser pulsée sur des substrats d'AI20 3(OOl). Ce travail a d'abord consisté en l'élaboration de couches minces polycristallines de Ca3C0206 et épitaxiées de Ca3C0409. En ce qui concerne la cobaltite Ca3C0206, on a pu déterminer la valeur du gap optique et qui est en accord avec les valeurs obtenues par des études théoriques. Le résultat le plus original est qu'on a démontré que les propriétés magnétiques sont très sensibles à la taille des échantillons. On note que les plateaux d'aimantation observés à 2 K dans les couches minces de Ca3C0206 disparaissent pour les couches fines ayant une épaisseur inférieure à 60 nm. Cette disparition des plateaux d'aimantation est accompagnée de l'apparition d'une transition magnétique additionnelle vers 45 K. Nos résultats sont incompatibles avec l'effet tunnel quantique de l'aimantation comme mécanisme à l'origine des plateaux d'aimantation, et soutiennent les prédictions des modèles Monte-Carlo. Quant aux couches minces de Ca3C0409, on a déterminé la nature et l'origine des défauts structuraux qui sont souvent observés par microscopie électronique en transmission. Ces défauts correspondent à la formation de phase parasite de CaC020 4. La formation de cette phase parasite est due à la haute température de dépôt (750°C), à la grande pression appliquée par le substrat d'AI20 3(OOl) (5.5 GPa) à travers les contraintes et à une possible non stoechiométrie locale de la cible. Ces défauts structuraux influencent les propriétés magnétiques, en réduisant le champ coercitif et l'aimantation rémanente par rapport à ceux du Ca3C0409 massif.This thesis focuses on the study of structural and magne tic properties of Ca3C0206 and Ca3C0409 thin films deposited by pulsed laser deposition on Alz03(001) substrates. This work initially involved the elaboration of polycrystalline Ca3C0206 and epitaxial Ca3C0409 thin films. Regarding the Ca3C0206 cobaltite, we were able to determine the value of the optical band gap, which is in agreement with the values obtained by theoretical studies. More interestingly, we have
demonstrated that the magnetic properties are very sensitive to sample size. The magnetization plateaus observed at 2 K in Ca3C0206 thin films disappear for thin films with a thickness below 60 nm. This disappearance of the magnetization steps is accompanied by the appearance of an additional magnetic transition around 45 K. Our results are inconsistent with the quantum tunneling of magnetization as a mechanism for the origin of magnetization plateaus, and support more the predictions of Monte Carlo based models. For the Ca3C0409 films, we have determined the nature and the origin of structural defects that are often observed by transmission electron microscopy. These defects are constituted of the CaC020 4 parasitic phase. The formation of this spurious phase is due to the high deposition temperature (750 oC), the high pressure applied by the AI20 3(OOl) substrate (5.5 GPa) and the possibility of a local non-stoichiometry of the target. These structural defects affect the magne tic properties, by reducing the coercivity and remanent magnetization with respect to those of the Ca3C0409 bulk samples
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
Variations on the Author
No full text“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
No full textWe 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
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
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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
