    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

    The ExoMol project (www.exomol.com) provides comprehensive line lists for the study of exoplanets and other hot bodies. As part of the ERC-funded ExoMolHD project these line lists are being refactored to facilitate their use in characterization of exoplanets using high resolution Doppler shift spectroscopy. This technique is based the use of MARVEL (measured active rotation vibration energy level) to obtain empirical energy levels and illustrated by a recent study on formaldhyde (H2_2CO).\footnote{A. R. {Al-Derzi}, S. N. Yurchenko, J. Tennyson, M. Melosso, Ningjing Jiang, C. Puzzarini, L. Dore, T. Furtenbacher, R. Tobias and A G. Cs\'asz\'ar, 2021, J. Quant. Spectrosc. Radiat. Transf., doi = {10.1016/j.jqsrt.2021.107563}} For formaldehyde we analysed of 16\,596 non-redundant transitions from 43 experimental sources and resulted in the determination of 5029 empirical energy levels. As part of this work new measurements were performed in Bologna yielding high-accuracy rotational transitions within the ground, \nub{3}, \nub{4} and \nub{6} vibrational states, significantly improving the overall accuracy of the network. Eleven artificial transitions determined from effective Hamiltonian fits were added to the network to both fix the gap between ortho and para levels, and to join free-standing networks of transitions to the main network. \begin{wrapfigure}{r}{0pt} \includegraphics[trim=0 0 0 3cm,scale=0.2]{H2CO_MARVEL_1000-2000.eps} \end{wrapfigure} The empirical energies were used to update the AYTY ExoMol line list for formaldehyde. This yielded 367\,779 transition frequencies determined using the empirical energy levels of which 183\,673 lie above the dynamic HITRAN intensity cutoff, see the example in the figure. The generation of line lists which combine empirically-determined transition wavenumbers with {\it ab initio} transition dipoles is suitable for high resolution studies of both the Earth's and exoplanetary atmospheres. High resoltion line lists for other molecules starting with AlO, VO and the isotopologues of H3+_3^+ are currently being prepared.Made available in DSpace on 2021-09-24T21:09:07Z (GMT).

    The Electric Quadrupole Spectra Of Diatomic Molecules

    Get PDF
    Owing to their molecular symmetry, many transitions of homonuclear diatomic molecules are forbidden in the electric dipole approximation. Instead their spectra are dominated by higher order transition moments, including the magnetic dipole moment and electric quadrupole moment. \begin{wrapfigure}{r}{0pt} \includegraphics[width=.4\linewidth]{H2XQMhitran.eps} \end{wrapfigure} Here we present a new implementation of electric quadrupole transition moments in \textsc{Duo}\footnote{S.~N. Yurchenko, L.~Lodi, J.~Tennyson, A.~V. Stolyarov, \emph{Comput. Phys. Commun.}, 2016, \textbf{202}, 262 -- 275; publicly available at \textit{https://github.com/Trovemaster/Duo}.}. The implementation is validated against the highly accurate linelist of Roueff et al. \footnote{The full infrared spectrum of molecular hydrogen, Astron. Astrophys, 630 (2019)} for rovibrational transitions of the hydrogen molecule. We also perform ab initio calculations for potential energy curves (PECs), electric quadrupole moment curves (EQCs), and spin-orbit coupling curves (SOCs) and demonstrate rovibronic linestrength calculations for the three lowest lying states (X3ΣgX^3\Sigma_g^-, a1Δga^1\Delta_g and b2Σg+b^2\Sigma_g^+) of molecular oxygen. Further demonstrations are provided for various other molecules of interest, including CO and HF as part of the ExoMol project \footnote{J.~Tennyson et al. \emph{J. Quant. Spectrosc. Radiat. Transf.}, 2020, \textbf{255}, 107228; \textit{www.exomol.com}.}. Absorption cross-sections are calculated using the \textsc{ExoCross} program\footnote{S.~N. {Yurchenko}, A.~F. {Al-Refaie}, J.~{Tennyson}, \emph{Astron.

    A Theoretical Ro-vibrational Line List Of H2cs Using A New Approach To Construct The Exact Kinetic Energy Operator

    Get PDF
    A procedure to generate the exact kinetic energy operator in valence coordinates, based on S{\o}rensen's method for constructing non-rigid Hamiltonians, is presented. This method is currently being applied to the thioformaldehyde (H2_{2}CS) molecule, where the TROVE program is used to compute ro-vibrational energy levels and transition intensities. Moreover, the \textit{ab initio} PES is refined with the MARVEL approach. The exact kinetic energy operator itself is produced using the symbolic computation program \textit{Mathematica} and acts as TROVE input.Made available in DSpace on 2021-09-24T21:09:59Z (GMT).

It is based on a high level {\it ab initio} potential energy surface and dipole moment surface of CH3_3 in the ground electronic state. The ro-vibrational energy levels and Einstein AA coefficients were calculated using the general-molecule variational approach implemented in the computer program TROVE. Vibrational energies and vibrational intensities are found to be in very good agreement with the available experimental data

    Variations on the Author

    Get PDF
    “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

    Get PDF
    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

    Exomolhd: Photodissociation Of Diatomic Molecules

    Get PDF
    \begin{wrapfigure}{r}{0pt} \includegraphics[scale=0.25,trim=0 0 0 2cm]{abstract.eps} \end{wrapfigure} The destruction of molecules by photodissociation influences the composition and dynamics of exoplanets, particularly in the presence of a UV-rich stellar environments, where molecules are hot. Current photodissociation calculations generally assume T=0T= 0 K, appropriate for the cold interstellar medium but inadequate for hot (exo)planets and stars. We compute temperature-dependent photodissociation cross sections for molecules found in these atmospheres. The cross sections are calculated by solving the nuclear-motion Schrödinger equation as part of the ExoMol project using codes Duo and Exocross\footnote{Yurchenko \textit{et al} Comput Phys Commun 2016 \textbf{202} 262–275;Yurchenko \textit{et al} A\&A 2018 \textbf{614} A131 }, and averaging results obtained as discrete spectra. We benchmark our results for three systems. The general validity of the methodology is tested considering the A1Π^1\Pi \leftarrow X1Σ+^1\Sigma^+ transition of HCl at low TT. Our cross sections and rates agree with published results\footnote{Dishoeck \textit{et al} J. Chem. Phys. 1982 \textbf{77} 3693} (2.31*1010^{-10} s1^{-1} versus 2.10*1010^{-10} s1^{-1} respectively ). We also reproduce calculated photodissociation cross section of BeH+^+ at T=1800 K.\footnote{Yang \textit{et al} J Quant Spectrosc Radiat Transf 2020 \textbf{254} 107203} We performed the simulations considering the three excited states, A1Σ+^1\Sigma^+, B1Π^1\Pi and C1Σ+^1\Sigma^+, see figure. The photodissociation spectrum of NaCl varies consistently with TT: at T=100T=100 K, there two peaks at 240 nm and 260 nm; while at T=1500T=1500 K the peaks merge.Made available in DSpace on 2021-09-24T21:09:20Z (GMT).

Calculations are based on a high level \emph{ab initio} potential energy and polarizability tensor surfaces of CH3_3 and employ accurate variational treatment of the ro-vibrational dynamics implemented in the general code TROVE [S. N. Yurchenko, W. Thiel, and P. Jensen, {\it J. Mol. Spectrosc.} {\bf 245}, 126--140 (2007); A. Yachmenev and S. N. Yurchenko, {\it J. Chem. Phys.} {\bf 143}, 014105 (2015)]. We extend the capabilities of TROVE towards simulations of the Raman spectra, which can in be applied to arbitrary molecule of moderate size. The simulations for CH3_3 are found to be in a good agreement with the available experimental data
