Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe 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

From colossal magnetoresistance to solar cells: An overview on 66 years of research into perovskites
No full text© 2017 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim Perovskites are a huge family of compounds to which the natural titanium mineral CaTiO3 is the common ancestor. The cubic structure looks apparently simple, but the variety of metal ions and mixtures thereof that fit into a perovskite lattice is tremendous. Even in the case that the ionic radii do not allow for a perfect cubic ordering, there are various superstructures and orbital-ordering effects to cope elegantly with distortions. The compositional and structural flexibility offers a large toolbox to design and synthesize perovskites with tailored properties searched for by physicists, chemists, materials scientists and device engineers. These materials are equally of interest for fundamental studies and for applied research while both viewpoints cross-fertilize each other regularly. Our overview starts with the discovery of ferromagnetism in manganites in 1950 and ranges until 2016: Today, halide perovskites are fully in focus for their potential in photovoltaic applications. This is certainly not an endpoint, but another milestone in a long series of often-unexpected discoveries on an ‘evergreen material’. Ball-and-stick model of the ideal cubic perovskite structure. The cation at the central position or ‘B site’ (small black dot) defines the group name (e.g., titanates) and plays a key role for the physical properties of the material.sponsorship: The Ph.D. project of co-author Gideon Wackers is funded by FWO - Research Foundation Flanders, project no.

Laser-Grafted Molecularly Imprinted Polymers for the Detection of Histamine from Organocatalyzed Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization
No full text© 2019 American Chemical Society. To be applicable to in vivo measuring, molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) based sensors need to have high reproducibility, require miniaturization, and must be free of toxic materials (such as heavy metals). To address these requirements, a metal-free photo atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) grafting procedure is described using a pulsed UV laser as light source to create thin molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) films (∼10 nm thickness) on a sensor surface. Analysis via X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) revealed the composition of the polymer film and the necessity for an excess of functional monomer to ensure its incorporation are demonstrated. MIP films were templated toward the target molecule histamine, for which in vivo studies can reveal unknown pathological pathways of inflammatory bowel diseases. By use of impedance spectroscopy, the biosensor surface is characterized in comparison to nonimprinted film grafts, and a high selectivity and sensitivity toward the target molecule are identified, revealing a histamine concentration limit of detection of 3.4 nM.sponsorship: The authors are grateful for funding by the Research Foundation Flanders (FWO) via the project G.0B25.14N, and support from the Karlsruhe Micro Nano Facility (KMNF) is also kindly acknowledged.

The Right to Strike under the United States Constitution: Theory, Practice, and Possible Implications for Canada
No full textAnswering critics of the Canadian Supreme Court's judgment in B.C. Health, the author argues that the Court laid the foundation for a principled and durable doctrine protecting constitutional labour rights, one that goes directly to the heart of the matter — the inequality of workers’ power in the employment relation. In the author’s view, two paths could lead from B.C. Health to the recognition of Charter protec- tion for a right to strike: one that treats the right as an accessory to col- lective bargaining, and one that upholds the right directly on the basis of the Charter values of equality and participation. The author supports the latter approach, contending that constitutional rights should be defined in relation to fundamental values, in a way that is not contingent on time-bound or fact-sensitive assessments about the role of strikes within a particular collective bargaining regime. Although a Charter right to strike may involve the courts in difficult choices about when to defer to legislative policy decisions, and courts may lack the institutional capac- ity to deal effectively with labour law issues, the author points out that judges can look to ILO standards for expert guidance. Noting that the U.S. experience in this area might be of considerable use to Canadians, the author concludes by providing an overview of American case law concerning a constitutional right to strike.Peer reviewe
G-Rank: Unsupervised Continuous Learn-to-Rank for Edge Devices in a P2P Network
No full textRanking algorithms in traditional search engines are powered by enormous training data sets that are meticulously engineered and curated by a centralized entity. Decentralized peer-to-peer (p2p) networks such as torrenting applications and Web3 protocols deliberately eschew centralized databases and computational architectures when designing services and features. As such, robust search-and-rank algorithms designed for such domains must be engineered specifically for decentralized networks, and must be lightweight enough to operate on consumer-grade personal devices such as a smartphone or laptop computer. We introduce G-Rank, an unsupervised ranking algorithm designed exclusively for decentralized networks. We demonstrate that accurate, relevant ranking results can be achieved in fully decentralized networks without any centralized data aggregation, feature engineering, or model training. Furthermore, we show that such results are obtainable with minimal data preprocessing and computational overhead, and can still return highly relevant results even when a user’s device is disconnected from the network. G-Rank is highly modular in design, is not limited to categorical data, and can be implemented in a variety of domains with minimal modification. The results herein show that unsupervised ranking models designed for decentralized p2p networks are not only viable, but worthy of further research.https://github.com/awrgold/G-RankComputer Scienc
