    Event Annotations of Prose

    No full text
    This dataset covers 41,341 manual event annotations of six German prose texts from the 19th and early 20th century comprising 290,997 tokens. For each text, the dataset includes annotations by two annotators and gold standard annotations. These annotations were used for the automation of narratological event annotations (Vauth, Hatzel, Gius, & Biemann, 2021), a reflection of inter annotator agreements in literary studies (Gius & Vauth, 2022) and the development of an event based plot model (Gius & Vauth, accepted)

    Ion bombardment induced smoothing of amorphous metallic surfaces: Experiments versus computer simulations

    No full text
    Smoothing of rough amorphous metallic surfaces by bombardment with heavy ions in the low keV regime is investigated by a combined experimental-simulational study. Vapor deposited rough amorphous Zr(65)Al(7.5)Cu(27.5) films are the basis for systematic in situ scanning tunneling microscopy measurements on the smoothing reaction due to 3 keV Kr(+) ion bombardment. The experimental results are directly compared to the predictions of a multiscale simulation approach, which incorporates stochastic rate equations of the Langevin type in combination with previously reported classical molecular dynamics simulations [Phys. Rev. B 75, 224107 (2007)] to model surface smoothing across length and time scales. The combined approach of experiments and simulations clearly corroborates a key role of ion induced viscous flow and ballistic effects in low keV heavy ion induced smoothing of amorphous metallic surfaces at ambient temperatures

    Relevance of surface viscous flow, surface diffusion, and ballistic effects in keV ion smoothing of amorphous surfaces

    No full text
    Surface viscous flow, surface diffusion, and ballistic effects have recently been discussed as possible atomic-scale mechanisms to explain the dramatic smoothing reactions observed during keV ion bombardment of amorphous surfaces. By employing multiscale modeling, viz. a combination of molecular dynamics and continuum rate equations, we compare the relevance of the individual processes at room temperature. This is achieved by calculating diffusion constants, viscosities, and lateral transport due to momentum transfer. Depending on the surface structure size, we find the dominance of surface viscous flow or ballistic effects. The findings are found to be valid for both strong and fragile glasses, as represented by amorphous Si and CuTi, respectively

    Atomic dynamics in molecular dynamics simulations of glassy CuTi thin films

    No full text
    We present results on atomic dynamics in metallic glass thin films below the glass transition temperature using molecular dynamics simulations. Thin CuTi films of different compositions are prepared by quenching the liquid to an amorphous state. The atomic dynamics on the amorphous surface and inside the bulk of the samples are quantitatively compared by calculating diffusion constants and jump length distributions. Here, we focus on the collective or single particle character of the diffusion mechanism in dependence of the atom type. In addition, single atom exemplifications are analyzed for the different kinds of atomic dynamics. We find that Cu surface atoms diffuse with a single atom jump dynamics, whereas inside the bulk collective behavior dominates for both species. (C) 2005 American Institute of Physics

    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

    Relationship between clinical outcomes measures and personal and social performance functioning in a prospective, interventional study in schizophrenia

    Objectives: To explore clinical and demographic characteristics impacting patient functioning by determining extent of overlap in factors driving change in Personal and Social Performance (PSP) and other clinical outcomes. Methods: Post-hoc analysis from a single-arm trial of paliperidone extended release in adult patients with nonacute symptomatic schizophrenia. Psychosocial functioning measures: PSP, Clinical Global Impression–Severity (CGI-S), Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS), Short-Form 36 (SF-36), treatment satisfaction, sleep quality/daytime drowsiness, and Extrapyramidal Symptoms Rating Scale. Results: Highest correlations with PSP total score change included PANSS total score change (Spearman's r = 0.607), PANSS general psychopathology change (r = 0.579), and CGI-S change (r = 0.569). A PSP score change of −32 predicted 90% probability of deterioration in CGI-S (score change of ≥1). The power of PSP change to predict PANSS total score change was lower. Linear stepwise regression demonstrated independent relationships for PSP change and: PANSS total change; CGI-S change; SF-36 Mental Component change; treatment satisfaction at endpoint; PSP at baseline; previous psychiatric hospitalizations. R 2 = 0.55 meant that 45% of PSP variation could not be explained by other clinical outcome measures. Conclusions: Psychosocial functioning improvement is important in schizophrenia. PSP may be valuable for assessing functioning; it encompasses psychosocial and clinical factors not measured by other established assessments
