Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
Influência da variedade de uva, do método de elaboração e envelhecimento sobre borras na composição química e sensorial de espumantes
No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Ciências Agrárias, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Ciência dos Alimentos, Florianópolis, 2014.Dentre as diferentes técnicas de elaboração de vinhos destaca-se a elaboração de espumantes. O mercado brasileiro de vinhos espumantes tem aumentado quantitativamente e qualitativamente, sendo considerado como um dos produtos que melhor representa o potencial vinícola brasileiro. Os objetivos deste estudo foram: caracterizar o perfil volátil de espumantes elaborados pelo método tradicional com variedades clássicas e inovadoras; caracterizar a composição volátil de vinhos espumantes da variedade Moscato Giallo elaborados por três diferentes métodos: Tradicional, Charmat e Asti e avaliar a influência do tempo de envelhecimento sobre borras "sur lie" quanto às características químicas e sensoriais de espumantes elaborados com as variedades de uva Goethe, Villenave, Niágara e Chardonnay. Na caracterização do perfil volátil de espumantes elaborados pelo método tradicional foram utilizadas as variedades inovadoras híbridas e Vitis labrusca (Niágara, Moscato Embrapa, Villenave, Goethe e Manzoni Bianco) e clássicas as variedades Vitis vinifera Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, Riesling Renano, Sauvignon Blanc e Pinot Noir, as amostras ficaram 18 meses sobre as borras e após foi determinado o perfil aromático por CG-FID e CG-MS, os compostos fenólicos foram determinados por CLAE-DAD e a atividade antioxidante por espectrofotometria. Na avaliação da influência dos métodos de elaboração de espumantes na composição volátil foi utilizado a variedade Moscato Giallo, e a elaboração dos espumantes pelos métodos Asti, Clássico e Charmat. A avaliação do tempo de envelhecimento sobre borras foi realizada com 8, 16 e 24 meses em contato com as borras, as variedades Goethe, Villenave, Niágara e Chardonnay foram avaliadas, quanto aos parâmetros enológicos clássicos, atividade antioxidante, polifenóis totais, absorbância a 420 nm, orto-difenóis, flavanóis totais e análise sensorial. Na avaliação dos espumantes elaborados com as variedades clássicas e inovadoras, o composto fenólico com maior concentração foi o tirosol, o perfil aromático 25 compostos foram determinados sendo que o acetato de isoamila apresentou altas concentrações em todas as amostras de espumantes, particularmente na amostra de Moscato Embrapa. Também foram observadas elevadas concentrações de monoterpenos como linalool, nas amostras de Riesling Renano e de geraniol nas amostras de Moscato Embrapa. Nas análises estatísticas multivariadas de componentes principais e cluster dos compostos voláteis e das14variedades foi observado separação em dois grupos um com as variedades inovadoras Moscato Embrapa, Niágara e Villenave e outro com as demais variedades. Na avaliação da influência dos métodos de elaboração, os espumantes elaborados pelo método Clássico apresentaram as maiores concentrações de compostos voláteis, e os espumantes elaborados pelo método Asti apresentaram as menores concentrações. A influência do método de elaboração na composição volátil dos espumantes Moscato Giallo foi confirmada pela análise multivariada de componentes principais, a qual demonstrou boa separação entre os espumantes em três grupos distintos conforme método de elaboração utilizado. No estudo de avaliação dos tempos de envelhecimento sobre borras a avaliação sensorial mostrou que os espumantes das variedades Niágara e Goethe apresentaram melhor impressão global com menor tempo sobre borras "sur lie" e os espumantes elaborados com as variedades Villenave e Chardonnay apresentaram os melhores resultados de impressão global para as amostras com maior tempo sobre borras.Abstract : The technique of sparkling wine production is a highlighted procedure among techniques of wine production. The Brazilian market for sparkling wines has increased quanti- and qualitatively, being considered one of the products that best represents the Brazilian winery potential. The objectives of this study were to characterize the volatile profile of sparkling wines produced by the traditional method with classic and innovative varieties; to characterize the volatile composition of sparkling wines obtained from Moscato Giallo variety and prepared by three different methods: Traditional, Charmat and Asti; and to evaluate the influence of aging time on "sur lie" lees on chemical and sensorial features of sparkling wines from Goethe, Villenave, Niagara and Chardonnay grape varieties. The volatile profile of sparkling wines produced in traditional method was characterized in innovative hybrid varieties of Vitis labrusca (Niagara, Moscato Embrapa, Villenave, Goethe and Manzoni Bianco) and the classic Vitis vinifera varieties (Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, Riesling Renano, Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir). Samples were kept on lees during 18 months. The volatile profile, phenolic compounds and antioxidant activity were determined by GC-FID and GC-MS; HPLC-UV-Vis; ABTS, FRAP and DPPH methods, respectively. The influence of Traditional, Charmat and Asti methods on the volatile composition of sparkling wines, was evaluated in Moscato Giallo variety. The same must was used for Traditional, Charmat and Asti methods, and the aromatic profile was determined by CG-FID and GC-MS. To evaluate the effects of aging time on "sur lie" lees, classical oenological parameters, antioxidant activity, total polyphenols, absorbance at 420 nm, orto-diphenols, total flavanols and sensorial analysis were evaluated in samples from Goethe, Villenave, Niagara and Chardonnay varieties, kept during 8, 16 and 24 months above lees. In the study of sparkling wines elaborated from classic and innovative varieties, tyrosol was in highest concentration among other phenolic compounds; twenty-five compounds were found to be associated with the aromatic profile and the isoamyl acetate concentrations were high in all samples evaluated, particularly in Moscato Embrapa .High concentrations of monoterpenes such as linalool were also observed in samples of Riesling Renano, and geraniol, in samples of Moscato Embrapa. Principal components and clusters analysis of volatile compounds and varieties showed a clearly separation in two groups, one16with innovative varieties Moscato Embrapa, Niagara and Villenave, and a second group with other varieties. In study of methods of preparation, sparkling wines prepared by traditional method had the highest concentration of volatile compounds, and the sparkling wines produced by Asti method presented the lowest concentration. The influence of method of preparation on the volatile composition of sparkling wines Moscato Giallo was confirmed by multivariate principal component analysis, which showed good separation in three different groups, according to preparation method used. In the study of the times of aging on lees, sensorial analysis showed that the sparkling wines Niagara and Goethe varieties had better overall impression with less time on lees "sur lie". Sparkling wines produced with Chardonnay and Villenave varieties showed the best results in overall impression for samples with greater time on lees

Abstract
PURPOSE: To evaluate the role of topical mitomycin C in corneal wound healing (CWH) after photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) in highly myopic eyes.
DESIGN: Prospective, double-masked, randomized clinical trial.
PARTICIPANTS: Seventy-two eyes of 36 patients affected by high (>7 diopters) myopia.
METHODS: In each patient, one eye was randomly assigned to PRK with intraoperative topical 0.02% mitomycin C application, and the fellow eye was treated with a placebo. Postoperatively, mitomycin C-treated eyes received artificial tears (3 times daily, tapered in 3 months), whereas the fellow eye was treated with fluorometholone sodium 2% and artificial tears (3 times daily, tapered in 3 months).
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) and best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), contrast sensitivity, manifest refraction, and biomicroscopy. Contrast sensitivity was determined using the Pelli-Robson chart. Corneal confocal microscopy documented CWH.
RESULTS: Mean follow-up was 18 months (range, 12-36). No side effects or toxic effects were documented. At 12-month follow-up examination, UCVAs (logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution) were 0.4+/-0.48 and 0.5+/-0.53 (P = .03) in mitomycin C-treated eyes and corticosteroid-treated eyes, respectively. At 1 year, corneal haze developed in 20% of corticosteroid-treated eyes, versus 0% of mitomycin C-treated eyes. At 12, 24, and 36 months, corneal confocal microscopy showed activated keratocytes and extracellular matrix significantly more evident in untreated eyes (Ps = 0.004, 0.024, and 0.046, respectively).
CONCLUSION: Topical intraoperative application of 0.02% mitomycin C can reduce haze formation in highly myopic eyes undergoing PRK.

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
A Multi-Language Comparison of Influences on Author Verification using Character N-Grams
No full textWe create a new multi-language corpus for author verification based on Wikipedia talkpages, and evaluate the influence that differences in topic and time have on character n-gram author profiles. Topic alignment between two texts is found to increase author verification precision, and an authors writing style is found to change over time, but not more significantly after 3 years than after 1 year.Information ArchitectureWISElectrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Scienc
A 0.12mm<sup>2</sup> Wien-Bridge Temperature Sensor with 0.1°C (3σ) Inaccuracy from -40°C to 180°C
No full text Resistor-based temperature sensors can achieve much higher resolution and energy efficiency than conventional BJT-based sensors [1], but they typically occupy more area (> 0.25 mm 2 ) and have lower operating temperatures (le 125 {circ} {C}) [2]-[4]. This work describes a 0.12mm 2 resistor-based sensor that uses a Wien-bridge (WB) filter to achieve 0.1 {circ} {C} (3 sigma) inaccuracy from - 40 {circ} {C} to 180 {circ} {C}. Compared to a state-of-the-art WB sensor [4], it occupies 6 × less area and achieves comparable relative accuracy over a 76% wider operating range.

A ±25A Versatile Shunt-Based Current Sensor with 10kHz Bandwidth and ±0.25% Gain Error from -40°C to 85°C Using 2-Current Calibration
No full textAccurate current sensing is critical in many industrial applications, such as battery management and motor control. Precise shunt-based current sensors have been reported with gain errors of less than 1% over the industrial temperature range (-40°C to 85°C) [1]–[4]. However, since they are intended for coulomb counting, their bandwidth is limited to a few tens of Hz, making them unsuitable for battery impedance or motor-current sensing. This paper presents a current sensor with a wide (10kHz) bandwidth and a tunable temperature compensation scheme (TCS), which allows it to be flexibly used with different types of shunts while maintaining high accuracy. A low-cost room-temperature calibration scheme is proposed to optimize gain flatness over temperature by exploiting the shunt's self-heating at large currents. Over the industrial temperature range and a ±25A current range, it achieves state-of-the-art gain error (±0.25%) with both low-cost PCB and stable metal-alloy shunts.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository 'You share, we take care!' - Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Electronic InstrumentationMicroelectronic
