Nucleation of Mixed Nitric Acid-Water Ice Nanoparticles in Molecular Beams that Starts with a HNO3 Molecule
No full textMixed (HNO3)(m)(H2O)(n) clusters generated in supersonic expansion of nitric acid vapor are investigated in two different experiments, (1) time-of-flight mass spectrometry after electron ionization and (2) Na doping and photoionization. This combination of complementary methods reveals that only clusters containing at least one acid molecule are generated, that is, the acid molecule serves as the nucleation center in the expansion. The experiments also suggest that at least four water molecules are needed for HNO3 acidic dissociation. The clusters are undoubtedly generated, as proved by electron ionization; however, they are not detected by the Na doping due to a fast charge-transfer reaction between the Na atom and HNO3. This points to limitations of the Na doping recently advocated as a general method for atmospheric aerosol detection. On the other hand, the combination of the two methods introduces a tool for detecting molecules with sizable electron affinity in clusters
Electron-Ion Recombination at Temperatures below 300K
No full textTitle: Recombination study of ions with electrons at temperatures below 300 K Author: Tomáš Kotrík Department: Department of Surface and Plasma Science Supervisor of the doctoral thesis: Prof. RNDr. Juraj Glosík, DrSc. Department of Surface and Plasma Science Abstract: Presented is the study of recombination of ions with electrons performed at low temperatures using the Flowing afterglow with Langmuir probe experimental technique. Studied was the dissociative recombination of H and D ions at temperatures 77 - 300 K. Apart from a two-body also a three-body recombination channel assisted by neutral He atoms was identified and studied. The obtained temperature dependence of the two-body recombination rate coefficient is in a good agreement with findings of other experimental and theoretical works. The dissociative recombination of HCO and DCO ions with electrons was studied in the temperature range 150 - 300 K. The observed temperature dependence of measured recombination rate coefficient for HCO and DCO ions (~T -1.3 and ~T -1.1 , respectively) is in agreement with the majority of previous experimental works and evokes that indirect mechanism governs the recombination process. The electron- assisted collisional-radiative recombination of Ar ions was for the first time studied at temperatures 50 - 300 K. The..

Vedoucí doktorské práce: Prof. RNDr. Juraj Glosík, DrSc. Katedra fyziky povrchů a plazmatu. Abstrakt: Prezentováno je studium rekombinace iontů s elektrony při nízkých teplotách prováděno pomocí techniky Proudícího dohasínajícího plazmatu s Langmuirovou sondou. Studována byla disociativní rekombinace iontů H a D při teplotách 77 - 300 K. Mimo dvoučásticového byl identifikován a poprvé studován i tříčásticový rekombinační kanál probíhající za účasti neutrálních atomů He. Pozorována teplotní závislost dvoučásticové rychlostní konstanty rekombinace je v dobré shodě s výsledky dalších experimentálních a teoretických prací. Disociativní rekombinace iontů HCO a DCO s elektrony byla studována v teplotním rozsahu 150 - 300 K. Změřena teplotní závislost rychlostní konstanty rekombinace pro HCO a DCO ionty (~T -1.3 , resp. ~T -1.1 ) se shoduje s většinou předešlých experimentálních prací a poukazuje na nepřímý mechanizmus rekombinace. Srážkově-radiativní rekombinace iontů Ar byla poprvé studována při teplotách 50 - 300 K. Pozorována teplotní závislost rychlostního koeficientu rekombinace ~T -4.5 odpovídá hodnotě získané z teoretických studií. Pro měření při kryogenních...Katedra fyziky povrchů a plazmatuDepartment of Surface and Plasma ScienceFaculty of Mathematics and PhysicsMatematicko-fyzikální fakult
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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
Full text linkWe 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
Full text linkWe 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
