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
In situ observation of maghemite nanoparticle adsorption at the water/gas interface
No full textThe adsorption of (maghemite) nanoparticles at the aqueous solution/gas interface was investigated by x-ray reflectivity. Two different concentrations (0.07 g/L and 0.7 g/L) were probed. The x-ray reflectivities indicate the adsorption of nanoparticles at the liquid surface for the highly concentrated solution, while no nanoparticle adsorption could be detected at the surface of the low concentrated solution within several hours. The vertical electron density profile of the high concentration solution/gas interface indicates the formation of a low ordered monolayer of nanoparticles occupying only 6% of the interfacial region

The Right to Strike under the United States Constitution: Theory, Practice, and Possible Implications for Canada
No full textAnswering critics of the Canadian Supreme Court's judgment in B.C. Health, the author argues that the Court laid the foundation for a principled and durable doctrine protecting constitutional labour rights, one that goes directly to the heart of the matter — the inequality of workers’ power in the employment relation. In the author’s view, two paths could lead from B.C. Health to the recognition of Charter protec- tion for a right to strike: one that treats the right as an accessory to col- lective bargaining, and one that upholds the right directly on the basis of the Charter values of equality and participation. The author supports the latter approach, contending that constitutional rights should be defined in relation to fundamental values, in a way that is not contingent on time-bound or fact-sensitive assessments about the role of strikes within a particular collective bargaining regime. Although a Charter right to strike may involve the courts in difficult choices about when to defer to legislative policy decisions, and courts may lack the institutional capac- ity to deal effectively with labour law issues, the author points out that judges can look to ILO standards for expert guidance. Noting that the U.S. experience in this area might be of considerable use to Canadians, the author concludes by providing an overview of American case law concerning a constitutional right to strike.Peer reviewe
Sharp symmetry-change marks the mechanical failure transition of glasses
No full textGlasses acquire their solid-like properties by cooling from the supercooled liquid via a continuous transition known as the glass transition. Recent research on soft glasses indicates that besides temperature, another route to liquify glasses is by application of stress that drives relaxation and flow. Here, we show that unlike the continuous glass transition, the failure of glasses to applied stress occurs by a sharp symmetry change that reminds of first-order equilibrium transitions. Using simultaneous x-ray scattering during the oscillatory rheology of a colloidal glass, we identify a sharp symmetry change from anisotropic solid to isotropic liquid structure at the crossing of the storage and loss moduli. Concomitantly, intensity fluctuations sharply acquire Gaussian distributions characteristic of liquids. Our observations and theoretical framework identify mechanical failure as a sharp atomic affine-to-nonaffine transition, providing a new conceptual paradigm of the oscillatory yielding of this technologically important class of materials, and offering new perspectives on the glass transition
