Thermal induced structural modifications of the high silica zeolite Gottardiite: an in-situ XRPD study
No full textThe thermally induced structural modifications of the natural zeolite gottardiite ((Na0.78K0.24Mg3.51Ca4.11Sr0.06Ba0.05)(Fe0.14Al17.47Si118.70O272) · 92.33 H2O, a = 13.631(1), b = 25.047(3) and c = 22.586(3) Å, V = 7711(1) Å3, s.g. Cmca, framework type NES) were studied in the temperature range 308 - 1203 K in a temperature-resolved X-ray powder diffraction experiment, using synchrotron radiation. The unit cell parameters were refined in the whole temperature range, while structural refinements were performed approximately every 100 K, at 308 K, 371 K, 475 K, 580 K, 674 K, 779 K, 873 K, and 978 K. No signs of phase transitions were observed in the whole investigated T-range and up to the highest temperature the material does not undergo amorphization. Gottardiite shows a high thermal stability, as a consequence of the high Si content, and an extremely rigid structure with a substantial absence of cell volume change. The framework deformation induced by dehydration involves only a slight distortion of the 10-ring and 12-ring channels running in the a and b directions. From room temperature to 580 K gottardiite looses water quite slowly and regularly. The main water loss is observed in the temperature range 580 - 779 K. Above this temperature gottardiite again dehydrates slowly, and at 978 K about 13 water molecules remain
Dehydration dynamics of barrerite: An in situ synchrotron xrpd study
No full textThe thermally induced structural modifications of the natural zeolite barrerite [Na16Al16Si56O144·52H2O, a = 13.6239(4) Å, b = 18.2033(5) Å, c = 17.8317(7) Å, V = 4422.3(3) Å3, space group Amma, framework type STI] were studied in a temperature-resolved X-ray powder diffraction experiment, using synchrotron radiation, in the temperature range 339–973 K. In the initial stage of heating, up to 508 K, barrerite Phase A (space group Amma) is stable, the unit-cell volume decreases by about 4% and a water release of about 66% is observed. Between 521 and 598 K, a phase transition to the collapsed so-called barrerite Phase B (space group Amma) is observed. During the transition, the rotation of the 4254 secondary building units causes a large decrease in cell volume and deformation of the channel system. Phase B, at 611 K, shows the statistical breaking of T-O-T bridges in the 4-rings and the migration of the involved tetrahedral atoms to new “face-sharing” tetrahedra, with a consequent reduction of the free volume of the channels parallel to [100]. The new structure is stable up to 741 K and the total volume decrease is about 16%. A new phase appears from 754 K with cell parameters similar to those reported for the highly deformed barrerite Phase D and is stable up to 910 K, which is the temperature at which the total volume decrease is 22.5%. The material does not undergo amorphization up to the highest temperature investigated
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
