    After Nantes (France) in 2009, Poznan (Poland) in 2011, and Taormina (Italy) in 2013, the 2015 event in Montpellier, confirmed ISEE’Cap symposium as a unique opportunity to gather the most renowned international experts together with non-specialist engineers and researchers who share interest in electrochemical capacitors. As for the previous event in the series, ISEE’Cap15 was preceded by a half-day tutorial session with four lectures given by W. Sugimoto, T. Brousse, P.-L. Taberna and J. Miller on a updated state of the art in the field. The program was definitively “looking forward” oriented and also includes a specific “Young investigators” session. It covered the electrochemical double layer capacitors and pseudocapacitors, their electrode materials and storage mechanisms, the electrolytes and interfacial phenomena, the asymmetric and hybrid devices, the introduction of new concepts, new devices and new fabrication processes, the characterization techniques, in-situ and in-operando methods, the modeling of phenomena and systems, system integration and applications

    The L-p-to-L-q boundedness of commutators with applications to the Jacobian operator

    Supplying the missing necessary conditions, we complete the characterisation of the L-p -> L-q boundedness of commutators [b, T] of pointwise multiplication and Calderon-Zygmund operators, for arbitrary pairs of 1 q, our results are new even for special classical operators with smooth kernels. As an application, we show that every f is an element of L-p(R-d) can be represented as a convergent series of normalised Jacobians J(u) = det del uof u is an element of (over dot(W))(1,dp)(R-d)(d). This extends, from p = 1 to p > 1, a result of Coifman, Lions, Meyer and Semmes about J:. (over dot(W))(1,d)(R-d)(d) -> H-1(R-d), and supports a conjecture of Iwaniec about the solvability of the equation Ju = f is an element of L-p(R-d). (C) 2021 The Author(s).

    The good reactivity of lithium with nanostructured copper phosphide

    No full text
    In Li-ion battery technology, Li diffusion in the electrode is mainly limited by the quality of the interfaces. To take advantage of the large capacity gain offered by the transition metal phosphides (TMP) as negative electrode, a new self-supported TMP/Cu nanoarchitectured electrode concept is proposed. This specific design allows one to fine-tune control of both (TMP)/current collector and (TMP)/electrolyte interfaces of the electrode. This new electrode preparation process is based on an electrochemical templated synthesis of copper nanorods followed by a phosphorus vaporization. The P vapour reacts with the Cu nanorods leading to Cu3P nanorods. Preliminary electrochemical tests of the as-obtained Cu3P nanorods/Li half cell show the great interest of using such a nanostructured TMP electrode in a Li battery. These nanoarchitectured phosphide electrodes can sustain a C-rate (a full discharge in 1h) cycling without exhibiting any important reversible capacity loss for 20 cycles

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    No full text
    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

    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

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    No full text
    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

    Dissipation of Quasiclassical Turbulence in Superfluid 4He

    No full text
    We compare the decay of turbulence in superfluid 4He produced by a moving grid to the decay of turbulence in the same channel created by either an impulsive spin-down to rest or by intensive ion injection. In all cases the vortex line density L at late time t decays as L ~ t^-3/2. Below 0.8 K, the spin-down turbulence maintains initial rotation and decays slower than grid turbulence and ion-jet turbulence. This is presumably due to the decoupling of the superfluid component from the normal one at large length scales at low temperatures, thus changing its effective boundary condition from no-slip to slip

    Outsourcing and Skill Imports: Foreign High-Skilled Workers on H-1B and L-1 Visas in the United States

    No full text
    This working paper looks in detail at the H-1B and L-1 visa programs for temporary employment in the United States. Based on official data from the US Citizenship and Immigration Services and the US Department of State, H-1B and L-1 visa issuance rapidly increased in the late 1990s, followed by a marked slowdown after 2001. This points to the highly cyclical nature of both visa programs. Indian nationals and immigrants working in computer-related occupations dominate the H1-B and L-1 population in the United States, but these two groups are also found to be the most cyclical segment, with very large declines in inflows after 2001. The total population of H-1B visaholders in 2003 is estimated to range between 387,000 and 746,000, of which 160,000 to 306,000 were Indian nationals. As all data on H-1B/L-1 visaholders are gross numbers and gross jobs data for comparable categories are absent, the extent of the impact of these visa programs on the US labor market cannot be gauged precisely. A broad range of US industries and educational institutions are found to be employing H-1B recipients, with the IT industry being the dominant sector. Evidence of aggressive wage-cost cutting, including paying H-1B recipients only the legally mandated 95 percent of the prevailing US wage, is found among some H-1B employers, although no systematic abuse of the system is present.Outsourcing, offshoring, high-skilled labor, immigration, H1B/L-1 visas
