Molecular Interactions in and Transport Properties of Densely Cross-linked Networks: A Time-resolved FTIR Spectroscopy Investigation
Transport of water in an epoxy network with high cross-link d. was investigated at several water vapor activities by time-resolved FT-IR spectroscopy and gravimetric measurements. The anal. of the IR spectra provided information about the mol. interactions occurring in the system. In particular, several interaction complexes were identified and their structures were proposed. An est. was made of the concn. of the various water species present in the system, based on the knowledge of the resp. molar absorptivities. An excellent agreement between the spectroscopic and gravimetric detns. of sorbed water was found throughout. The evolution of the different water species was monitored by resolving the complex profile of the water spectrum in the nOH frequency range. This information, coupled with the results of the gravimetric anal., was used to evaluate the effect of polymer/penetrant H-bonding interactions on the diffusion process of water mols. Transport of the different water species was found to follow a Fickian behavior characterized by an effective diffusion coeff. which increases with total water concn
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
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
