Polymer nanofiber-carbon nanotube network generating circuits
No full textThe polymer nanofiber carbon nanotube (CNT) based devices attracts attention since they promise high performance for next generation devices such as wearable electronics, ultra-light weighted appliances and foldable devices. This abstract describes the utilization of polymer nanofibers and CNT as major component of low cost foldable photo-resistor. We use polymer nanofiber as template guiding CNTs to generate nanocircuits and conductive sensing network. The controlled combination of CNTs and polymer nanofibers provide opportunities for device miniaturization without loss of performance. The nanofiber-CNT network based photo-resistor exhibits broad band response 400 to 1600 nm that holding promises for ultra-thin devices and new sensing platforms.Center for Materials Research in IZTECH, TUBITAK-215054

A Novel Approach for Fabrication of Free-Standing Conductive Network: Pedot: Pss Based Bendable Chemo and Photoresistor
No full textElectrospinning is a simple and versatile technique for the fabrication of polymeric nanofibrous substrate with high surface to volume ratio. Besides high surface to volume ratio, their dimensional stability and flexibility make it a perfect candidate for conductive network for various sensor applications. Free-Standing conductive network can be fabricated by deposition of PEDOT:PSS or MWCNT through bendable nanofibrous substrate. As a simple example for sensor applications, the moving object has been sensed through the electrostatic interactions between fibers and object. The sensing range has been found to be 1-5 cm above the surface of fabric. By the controlled combination of conductive polymers and electrospun polymer nanofibers effective device miniaturization has been provided without loss of performance. The noncontact motion sensor platform has unique flexibility and light weight holding a potential for wearable sensor technology. For another application as a wearable electronics, the controlled combination of conductive network and light-matter interaction provides opportunities to fabricate photo-resistor exhibits broad band response 400 to 1600 nm that holding promises for ultra-thin sensors used in telecommunication. As a final example, we report the effect of gold and iron oxide nanoparticles on the selectivity and sensitivity of MWCNT or PEDOT:PSS based chemiresistor responsive to VOCs. The interplay between conductive layer by gold and iron oxide nanoparticles resulted a significant conductivity improvement that affecting selectivity which is governed by the interaction between electron-donating VOCs and NP doped conductive layer due to variation in charge carrier densities in conductive layer lattice.Elektroeğirme, çap ölçüleri nanometreden mikrometreye kadar değişebilen polimerik lif üretiminde kullanılan basit ve çok yönlü bir yöntemdir. Son derece küçük çap ölçüleri nedeniyle, yüksek yüzey/hacim oranına sahip olan elektroeğirme nanolifler, aynı zamanda yapısal olarak sağlam ve esnek yapılardır. Bu özelliklerine bağlı olarak, elektroeğirme yöntemi ile üretilen nanolifler, birçok bükülebilir sensör uygulamaları için önemli bir adaydır. Elektroeğirme ile üretilen bükülebilir nanoliflerin üzerine PEDOT:PSS veya MWCNT ile modifiye ederek bağımsız iletken ağı üretmek mümkündür. Sensör uygulamalarına örnek olarak, yapılan çalışmalar ile sensör yüzeyinin üstünde hareket eden objenin algılanabildiği gözlemlenmiştir. Objenin algılanması, sensör ile nesne arasındaki elektrostatik etkileşimler sayesinde olmaktadır. Bu sayede 1 – 5 cm mesafedeki nesneler algılanabilir. İletken polimer ve nanoliflerin birleşimi ile dengeli iletken ağ oluşturarak performans kaybı olmadan ufak boyutlu sensör üretilebilir. Üretilen sensör, hafifliği ve esnekliği ile giyilebilir elektronik uygulamalarında kullanılabilir. Uygulanan bir başka giyilebilir elektronik örneğinde, telekomünikasyon sektöründe kullanılabilecek iletken ağın ışık ile etkileşimi sayesinde 400 – 1600 nm aralığındaki dalga boylarını algılayabilen foto direnç üretilebilir. Son olarak, demir ve altın nano parçacıkların uçucu organik bileşiklerin tayininde seçiciliğe ve hassasiyetine etkileri araştırıldı. İletken ağ ile nano parçacıkların etkileşimi sensörün iletkenliğini arttırarak organik uçucu gaz seçiciliğini etkilemekte. Organik uçucu gaz seçiciliği ise elektron veren organik uçucu gazlar ile nano parçacık ile katkılanmış iletken ağın etkileşimlerinden kaynaklanmaktadır
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
