Electro-assisted generation of silica films : functionalization, mesostructuration and analytical applications
No full textL’étude menée concerne divers aspects d’une nouvelle voie de synthèse sol-gel : la génération électro-assistée de films à base de silice fonctionnalisée et/ou mésostructurée, ainsi que leurs applications en électrochimie analytique. Des films à base de silice fonctionnalisée par des groupements amine ou thiol ont été déposés sur électrode d’or par catalyse électrochimiquement assistée de la polycondensation. La formation d’une monocouche auto-assemblée partielle de mercaptopropyltriméthoxysilane permet une très bonne adhésion du film silicaté sur la surface d’or. Le processus d’électro-dépôt est caractérisé par deux étapes successives de vitesse différente. A une étape de dépôt lent et régulier succède une croissance bien plus rapide du film. L’utilisation des électrodes modifiées a été envisagée en tant que capteur de Cu2+. En introduisant un tensioactif dans le sol de synthèse, il est possible d’électrogénérer des films à base de silice mésoporeuse de structure hexagonale avec les pores orientés perpendiculairement par rapport au substrat (difficile à obtenir par d’autres méthodes). Il semblerait que l’électrochimie permette à la fois un contrôle de la structure du tensioactif à la surface de l’électrode et la croissance simultanée du film sol-gel. Cette méthode d’électrogénération permet aussi d’obtenir des films fins homogènes sur des surfaces non planes ou présentant des hétérogénéités de conductivité. Enfin, une approche préliminaire a été proposée visant à appliquer le processus d’électrogénération, couplé à la technique de microscopie électrochimique à balayage, pour déposer localement des films à base de silice sous forme de plots de taille micrométrique sur or.The study deals with various aspects of a novel method of sol-gel synthesis : the electro-assisted generation of functionalized and/or mesostructured silica thin films, and their applications in analytical electrochemistry. Sol-gel-derived silica films functionnalized with amine or thiol groups have been electrogenerated on gold electrodes. The formation of a partial self-assembled monolayer of mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane (MPTMS) on gold led to a silica film adhering well to the electrode surface owing to the MPTMS acting as a « molecular glue ». The whole process was characterized by two successive distinct rates, starting by a slow deposition stage leading to thin deposits, which was followed by a much faster film growing in the form of macroporous coatings. The use of these modified electrodes was considered as a voltammetric sensor for copper(II). By adding a surfactant in the synthesis medium, it’s possible to electrogenerate mesostructured silica films with hexagonal structure with pore channels oriented perpendiculary to the substrate (which is difficult to get by other methods). The electrochemically-induced-self-assembly of surfactant-templated silica thin films can be applied to various conducting supports. The broad interest of the novel method was demonstrated by its ability to produce homogeneous deposits of silica on non-planar surfaces or heterogeneous substrates, what is difficult by the traditional techniques of film deposition. Finally, a preliminary approach has been proposed in order to apply the electrodeposition process coupled with a scanning electrochemical microscope in order to get localized sol-gel deposits at the micrometric size level on gold
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
