    P'ungsu: A Study of Geomancy in Korea

    No full text
    This book is a milestone in the history of academic research on the development and role of geomancy (fengshui in Chinese and p'ungsu in Korea) in Korean culture. As the first interdisciplinary work of its kind, it investigates many topics in geomancy studies and contains contributions from a number of disciplines including geography, historical studies, environmental management, architecture, landscape architecture, religious studies and psychoanalysis.

    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

    Electronic structure of HxVO2 probed with in-situ spectroscopic ellipsometry

    Vanadium dioxide (VO2)_{\mathrm{2}}) undergoes a metal-to-insulator transition (MIT) near 340K. Despite extensive studies on this material, the role of electronelectron correlation and electron-lattice interactions in driving this MIT is still under debate. Recently, it was demonstrated that hydrogen can be reversibly absorbed into VO2_{\mathrm{2}} thin film without destroying the lattice framework. This H-doping allows systematic control of the electron density and lattice structure which in turn leads to a insulator (VO2)_{\mathrm{2}}) - metal (Hx_{x}VO2)_{\mathrm{2}}) - insulator (HVO2)_{\mathrm{2}}) phase modulation [Yoon \textit{et al.}, Nat. Mat. \textbf{15}, 1113-1119 (2016)]. To better understand the phase modulation of Hx_{x}VO2_{\mathrm{2}}, we used \textit{in-situ} spectroscopic ellipsometry to monitor the electronic structure during the hydrogenization process, i.e. we measured the optical conductivity of Hx_{x}VO2_ {\mathrm{2}} while varying xx. Starting in the high temperature rutile metallic phase of VO2_{\mathrm{2}}, we observed a large change in the electronic structure upon annealing in H gas at 370K: the low energy conductivity is continuously suppressed, consistent with reported DC resistivity data, while the conductivity peaks at high energy show strong changes in energy and spectral weight. The implications of our results for the MIT in Hx_{x}VO2_{\mathrm{2}} will be discussed.1

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    No full text
    We 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

    Biotrickling Filtration for the Reduction of N<sub>2</sub>O Emitted during Wastewater Treatment: Results from a Long-Term In Situ Pilot-Scale Testing

    No full text
    Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are a major source of N2O, a potent greenhouse gas with 300 times higher global warming potential than CO2. Several approaches have been proposed for mitigation of N2O emissions from WWTPs and have shown promising yet only site-specific results. Here, self-sustaining biotrickling filtration, an end-of-the-pipe treatment technology, was tested in situ at a full-scale WWTP under realistic operational conditions. Temporally varying untreated wastewater was used as trickling medium, and no temperature control was applied. The off-gas from the covered WWTP aerated section was conveyed through the pilot-scale reactor, and an average removal efficiency of 57.9 ± 29.1% was achieved during 165 days of operation despite the generally low and largely fluctuating influent N2O concentrations (ranging between 4.8 and 96.4 ppmv). For the following 60-day period, the continuously operated reactor system removed 43.0 ± 21.2% of the periodically augmented N2O, exhibiting elimination capacities as high as 5.25 g N2O m-3·h-1. Additionally, the bench-scale experiments performed abreast corroborated the resilience of the system to short-term N2O starvations. Our results corroborate the feasibility of biotrickling filtration for mitigating N2O emitted from WWTPs and demonstrate its robustness toward suboptimal field operating conditions and N2O starvation, as also supported by analyses of the microbial compositions and nosZ gene profiles.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.Sanitary Engineerin
