Nanodispersion et développement de traceurs fluorescents
No full textThe dispersion of inorganic materials in organic and aqueous media is a decisive factor for their industrial implementation. These materials are used in many areas from the oil industry to polishing. Herein, we focus on studying the stability of these materials in different media such as: (i) the aqueous solvents used for the formulation of abrasive slurries, (ii) the waters of oil operations and (iii) crude oil and its derivatives. Our objective is to improve the luminescence properties of these materials for the oil industry and the abrasive properties for polishing applications.We have developed stable formulations of lanthanide complexes (Ln) derived from DOTA and nanoparticles (NPs) of zinc sulfide doped with manganese for water-management in oil fields. These materials were characterized by time-resolved fluorescence (TRF) to solve the problems associated with the auto-fluorescence of petroleum products in the operating water.Furthermore, we studied the dispersion of specific compounds in different fuels in order to develop new anti-counterfeiting markers for crude oil and its derivatives. Finally, we tried to improve the dispersion of diamond nanoparticles in aqueous media in order to enhance the efficiency of diamond abrasive suspensions based for polishing sapphire a-planL'étude de la dispersion de matériaux inorganiques dans des médias organiques et aqueux est un facteur déterminant pour leur mise en œuvre industrielle.

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
