Synthesis of triphenylene based macrocycles
No full textThis thesis is concerned with the synthesis of large macrocyclic structures based on the triphenylene system. The eventual aim of the project was to use the macrocycles to bind saccharides in water.The first stage was to suitably functionalise the triphenylene system to give a base unit to the macrocycles. The first macrocycle (100) was built onto the base unit and obtained by cyclisation under high dilution conditions in very good yield as two isomers which could be separated by HPLC. Binding studies showed that a simple aromatic guest (1,3,5-benzene triol) would bind to the macrocycle in organic solvents.In an attempt to make the macrocycle water soluble, a second version (101) was synthesised where the pentyl chains of 100 had been replaced by benzyl groups which could be removed after cyclisation and replaced the more hydrophilic groups.Problems with the cyclisation of 101 and it's poor solubility in organic solvents leads to the development of a third macrocycle with methyl ester side-chains (118a). Hydrolysis of the methyl esters of 118a gave a water soluble derivative (118a) which was studied for binding interactions with a range of saccharides and other organic molecules but no binding was observed.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe 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
