Influence of different climatic conditions on the roughness of uncoated medium density fiberboards (MDF)
No full textThe surface roughness is primarily a function of the raw material properties, but other factors like type and amount of resin, press cycle, sanding and moisture content of the boards may also affect the roughness and other surface properties. In this study the effect of the equilibrium moisture content on medium density fiberboards (MDF) surfaces was evaluated using different raw materials in the surface layers as well as different binders. The statistical analysis confirmed that the relationship between equilibrium moisture content and average roughness is a complex function of interactions between many variables
Influence of climatic conditions and surface roughness on the wettability of medium density fiberboards (MDF)
No full textWettability of wood surface is measured by the contact angle between the liquid and the surface of the wood. In this study, the wettability of MDF surfaces was measured using different mixtures of distilled water and isopropanol. The results reveal that TF-bonded MDF made from fresh and recycled fibers showed better wettability than the corresponding MUF-bonded MDF. Moreover, the entire results indicate that roughness is one of the most important influencing factors on the wettability of MDF surfaces
EFECTO DE LA HUMEDAD DE EQUILIBRIO EN LA RUGOSIDAD DE TABLEROS DE FIBRAS DE DENSIDAD MEDIA (MDF)
No full textLa rugosidad superficial es primariamente una función de las propiedades de la materia prima, pero otros factores como la cantidad y el tipo de resina, ciclo de prensado, lijado y contenido de humedad de los tableros pueden afectar la rugosidad y otras propiedades de la superficie. En este estudio los efectos del contenido de humedad de equilibro en superficies de tableros de densidad media (MDF), fueron evaluados usando diferentes materias primas en sus superficies como también diferentes adhesivos. El análisis estadístico confirma que la relación entre el contenido de humedad de equilibrio y la rugosidad media es una compleja función de interacciones entre muchas variables, pero donde tiene un papel relevante desde el punto de vista práctico el tipo de adhesivo
Surface roughness of uncoated particleboards and its relation with the raw material, adhesive and climatic conditions
No full textThe effect of raw material, adhesive and climatic conditions on the surface roughness and moisture content of uncoated particleboards was determined. Particleboards made with recycled particles in the surface layer had the roughest surfaces irrespective of the adhesive used. The relationship between equilibrium moisture content and roughness are a complex function of interactions between many variables
INFLUENCE OF THE SURFACE ROUGHNESS OF PARTICLEBOARDS AND THEIR PERFORMANCE TOWARDS COATING
No full textThe effect of surface properties on the quality of the adhesion was evaluated for coated particleboards. Uncoated UF- and TF-bonded particleboards made using different raw materials were conditioned under 20°C and 65 % relative humidity and coated with a nitrocellulose lacquer primer by a conventional process. The interaction between the primer and surface seems to be a very important factor determining the strength of adherence
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
