    INDONESIA Studi mekanisme dari epoksidasi etilena oleh hidrogen peroksida yang dikatalisis oleh vanadium yang didoping dalam mesopori silika telah dilaporkan. Perhitungan teori kerapatan elektron dengan basis set B3LYP/G-6311+ digunakan untuk mengatamati jalur katalitik. Ada lima tahapan yang diusulkan. Tahap pertama adalah adsorpsi H2O2 terhadap pusat atom Vanadium, kemudian diikuti oleh koordinasi etilena terhadap hidrogen peroksida. Tahap selanjutnya adalah tahap pembatas laju yaitu epoksidasi etilena melalui transfer satu atom okigen. Tahap ini diikuti oleh desorpsi produk etilena oksida dan dehidrasi untuk membentuk kembali katalis. Nilai entalpi ini lebih rendah jika dibandingkan dengan penelitian sebelumnya dari literature dengan menggunakan katalis vanadium yang didoping dalam mesopori silika. Rincian mekanisme yang diuraikan dalam perhitungan ini dapat membantu dalam desain rasional dari katalis epoksidasi baru dan dengan demikian faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi reaksi, yakni geometri molekul masing-masing interaksi yang hampir sama dengan referensi, muatan atom pada oksigen H2O2 lebih negatif, kemudian katalis memiliki momen dipol 9,5676 Debye dan momen celah energi 1,349 eV, serta kerapatan elektron terdapat pada katalis HOMO terutama pada bagian pusat atom vanadium. ENGLISH A mechanistic study of ethylene epoxidation by hydrogen peroxide catalyzed by vanadium doped in a silica mesopore is reported. Density functional theory calculations at the B3LYP/G-6311+ level were used to investigate the catalytic pathway. A five-step cycle is proposed. The initial steps are the adsorption of H2O2 to the Vanadium atom center, then followed by coordination of ethylene to the hydrogen peroxide. The next step is rate-limiting step is the subsequent epoxidation of ethylene via transfer of an oxygen atom. Then the end step is followed by desorption of the ethylene oxide product and dehydration to regenerate the catalyst. The reaction barrier is lower than reported for other catalysts in the literature, consistent with recent experimental reports of the efficacy of Nb-doped mesoporous silica catalysts. The mechanistic details elucidated in the present calculations may aid in the rational design of new epoxidation catalysts and thus the factors influencing the reaction that is geometry molecules are reasonable with reference, and charge of H2O2 is 9,5676 Debye, catalys energy gap is 1,349 eV, and electron density is found in the HOMO Catalys structure, especially in the center of the vanadium atom

    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

    Full text link
    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

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    Full text link
    We 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 text
    We 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

    Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902

    No full text
    In Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
