    L'étude des systèmes ternaires U - Cu - X (X = Si ou Ge) a permis de mettre en évidence trois nouvelles phases: U3Cu4Si4, U3Cu4Ge4 et UCuGe1,77. Leurs propriétés structurales et magnétiques ont été étudiées et les structures magnétiques des deux premières ont été déterminées. La substitution du cuivre au silicium dans la solution solide UCuxSi2-x (0,28 £ x £ 0,96) est à l'origine de transitions structurales et magnétiques selon les séquences a-ThSi2(quadratique) ® AlB2(hexagonal) ® Ni2In(hexagonal) et non magnétique ® ferromagnétique ® antiferromagnétique. L'évolution des propriétés magnétiques reflète la compétition entre les interactions de type Kondo et RKKY. Désordre cristallographique et frustrations magnétiques sont à l'origine d'un état "verre de spin" au passage ferro-antiferromagnétique. Les propriétés structurales et magnétiques des composés GdNi3X2 (X =Ga, Al, Sn) se sont avérées fortement dépendantes de la nature de l'élément X et du traitement thermique des échantillons. L'augmentation de la taille de X favorise une transition structurale de type CaCu5 ® HoNi2,6Ga2,4 ainsi qu'un passage ferro ® antiferromagnétique. Une structure cristallographique modulée commensurable (équivalente à une surstructure aHoNi2,6Ga2,4 x aHoNi2,6Ga2,4 x 2cHoNi2,6Ga2,4) est observée pour GdNi3Al2. L'insertion d'hydrogène dans Gd3Ni6Al2 et GdNi3Al2 affaiblit considérablement les interactions magnétiques.Three novel phases, U3Cu4Si4, U3Cu4Ge4 and UCuGe1,77, were prepared in the U - Cu - X (X = Si or Ge) ternary system. Their structural and magnetic properties were investigated. The magnetic structures of the first two compounds were determined by neutron diffraction. Structural and magnetic behaviour transitions occur as copper substitutes silicon atoms in the UCuxSi2-x (0,28 £ x £ 0,96) solid solution. Thus, the structure of the compositions changes in the a-ThSi2(tetragonal) ® AlB2(hexagonal) ® Ni2In(hexagonal) sequence while a transition from a nonmagnetic to ferromagnetic then antiferromagnetic behaviour is observed. The magnetic properties of the different compositions are governed by a Kondo - RKKY -type interactions competition. Crystallographic disorder and magnetic frustrations are at the origin of a spin glass state between the ferro- and antiferromagnetic areas. The investigations of the GdNi3X2 (X =Ga, Al, Sn) compounds revealed that their structural and magnetic properties are strongly dependent on the nature of the X element as well as the on thermal treatment. A CaCu5 ® HoNi2,6Ga2,4 - type structure transition and a ferro - to antiferromagnetic behaviour evolution are favoured by the increase of the X - atom size. A commensurate modulated crystal structure (described also as a aHoNi2,6Ga2,4 x aHoNi2,6Ga2,4 x 2cHoNi2,6Ga2,4 -type superstructure) has been observed for GdNi3Al2. Hydrogen absorption in Gd3Ni6Al2 and GdNi3Al2 weakens the strength of the magnetic interactions

    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

    Get PDF
    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

    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
