    Effect of the temporal integration on the accuracy of the measured concentration in LIBS measurements

    Full text link
    We have developed a simulation program that allows to calculate the plasma emission spectrum of a coal sample in a LIBS experiment. We used the acquired data to evaluate the effect of temporal integration on the accuracy of measured concentration obtained using the calibration free method

    We have evaluated the efficiency of different reflection based optical systems using numerical simulation. We have realized and started testing the most promising one

    Low angle elastic light scattering study of diffusion limited aggregation

    No full text
    We have investigated the kinetics of the diffusion-limited aggregation of colloidal silica with low-angle elastic light scattering at 31 scattering angles covering the wave vector range 3.7 ƃ 102 cm-1 <q<3.3 ƃ 104 cm-1. We have studied both the asymptotic behaviour at larger q, which provides a measure of the clusters fractal dimension, as well as the roll-off region at small q, which gives information on the clusters size. Each set of data (scattered intensity vs. q vectors) has been analysed by means of a nonlinear iterative inversion scheme to provide the value of the number average gyration radius ⟨R⟩n which is found to grow in time with a power law tα. The exponent (average over a few runs) is α = 0.58 ± 0.02, consistent with the theoretical expectations. © 1988 IOP Publishing Ltd

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    Full text link
    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
