    Selective hydrogenation of PhCH=CHCOMe to the unsaturated alcohol catalysed by [IrH3(PR3)3] (R = alkyl or aryl)

    No full text
    Selective hydrogenation of benzylideneacetone (PhCH=CHCOMe) catalysed by iridiumphosphine systems prepared in situ is reported. Depending on the steric properties of the phosphine employed and the P:lr ratio, different species are formed in solution, as evidenced by n.m.r. spectroscopy. [IrH5(PR3)2] (R = alkyl or aryl) is a catalyst for the hydrogenation of the carbon-carbon double bond, whereas [IrH3(PR3)3] catalyses the reduction of the carbonyl group with a selectivity up to 100%

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    No full text
    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

    "Closing the R&D Gap, Evaluating the Sources of R&D Spending"

    No full text
    Both spending and tax policies have been implemented in the United States with the goal of stimulating private sector research and development (R&D). Karier questions whether current R&D policy, especially the research and experimentation tax credit, can contribute to closing the gap between nondefense expenditures on R&D in the United States and such expenditures in other countries, such as Japan and Germany. He also explores possible changes to our current R&D policy to make it more effective.
