Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe 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
THE TRANSITION OF MOLECULAR OXYGEN
No full textAuthor Institution: Research School of Physical Sciences and Engineering, The Australian National University; Molecular Physics Laboratory, SRI InternationalThe origin of the intensity of the transition of molecular oxygen, first observed recently by Eppink et al. [J. Chem. Phys. 108, 1305 (1998).], is discussed. It is shown that the transition borrows its intensity principally from the dipole-allowed transition, through spin-orbit mixing between the and states. Estimated continuum photoabsorption cross sections and discrete oscillator strengths for the system are presented

The Grothendieck-Cousin complex on G/B x G/B
No full textIn his 1978 paper, The Grothendieck-Cousin complex of an induced representation, G. Kempf computes the Cousin complex corresponding to an induced representation of a reductive algebraic group G. His technique uses the geometry of the homogeneous space G/B, B being a Borel subgroup of G. The complex gives a resolution by B-modules, which easily yields the Weyl character formula.Instead of considering G/B, we analyze the analagous situation for . The Cousin complex corresponding to an induced representation in this case consists of G-modules. We are able to study the terms of the complex by exploiting parallels between the B-action on G/B and the G-action on --there is a natural one-to-one correspondence between the orbits of these actions. Our work here is greatly simplified by reducing to the affine situation and applying the theory of A-G modules. We construct a spectral sequence relating the terms of the complexes. Finally, an application to the theory of D-modules is given.Made available in DSpace on 2011-05-07T12:16:39Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 2

G (A, B)-labeling of cacti over groups
No full text© 2016 Author(s). Let G be a group with nonempty subsets A and B. The graph G(A, B) is the simple graph obtained by deleting all loops from the graph whose vertex set is A and where vertices x and y are adjacent if and only if there is a b B such that xb = y or yb = x. In this paper, we present realizations of some cacti as G(A, B)\u27s
Measurement of the ratio of branching fractions B(B0→K∗0γ )/B(B0s→φγ ) and the directCP asymmetry inB 0→K∗0γ
No full textThe ratio of branching fractions of the radiative B decays B0→K⁎0γ and B0s→ϕγ has been measured using an integrated luminosity of 1.0 fb−1 of pp collision data collected by the LHCb experiment at a centre-of-mass energy of s√=7TeV. The value obtained is
B(B0→K⁎0γ)B(B0s→ϕγ)=1.23±0.06(stat.)±0.04(syst.)±0.10(fs/fd),
where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second is the experimental systematic uncertainty and the third is associated with the ratio of fragmentation fractions fs/fd. Using the world average value for B(B0→K⁎0γ), the branching fraction B(B0s→ϕγ) is measured to be (3.5±0.4)×10−5.
The direct CP asymmetry in B0→K⁎0γ decays has also been measured with the same data and found to be
ACP(B0→K⁎0γ)=(0.8±1.7(stat.)±0.9(syst.))%.
Both measurements are the most precise to date and are in agreement with the previous experimental results and theoretical expectations
Direct numerical test of the B-G-K model equation by the DSMC method
No full textIn the present paper the rarefied gas how caused by the sudden change of the wall temperature and the Rayleigh problem are simulated by the DSMC method which has been validated by experiments both in global flour field and velocity distribution function level. The comparison of the simulated results with the accurate numerical solutions of the B-G-K model equation shows that near equilibrium the BG-K equation with corrected collision frequency can give accurate result but as farther away from equilibrium the B-G-K equation is not accurate. This is for the first time that the error caused by the B-G-K model equation has been revealed

Erratum: Crustal thickness across the Trans-European Suture Zone from ambient noise autocorrelations
No full textThe authors would like to apologize for an error in terminology of the original paper ‘Crustal thickness across the Trans-European Suture Zone from ambient noise autocorrelations’, by Becker, G., and Knapmeyer-Endrun, B., Geophysical Journal International (2018), 212(2), 1237–1254, doi:10.1093/gji/ggx485. Sentence six in the bottom left paragraph of page 1241 should read: ‘Maxima in the second derivative coincide with the largest changes in slope of the envelope’. Sentence one in the top left paragraph page 1249 should read: ‘These maxima correspond to points of the curve, where the slope of the envelope changes and coincide with changes in reflectivity’. This change in terminology does not affect the methodology, results and conclusions. © The Author(s) 2018. Published by Oxford University Press on behalf of The Royal Astronomical Society
