Conversations with chemists: information seeking behavior of chemistry faculty in the electronic age.

This manuscript is a final draft of the article as submitted to the Haworth journal Science and Technology Libraries in December 2002. Due to editorial error, Haworth published an earlier draft of this paper instead of the final draft. They declined to rectify this error in the online version of the journal. The reader is advised that the author considers this version to be the definitive final draft that should have been published but was not. Scholars wishing to cite this work should preferably cite this final preprint, rather than the published article.Six faculty members in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of Texas at Austin were interviewed one-on-one to gather information about their information-seeking behavior, favored resources, and opinions about the transition from a print to an electronic information environment. In most cases, these chemistry faculty members have eagerly embraced the enhanced access to chemical information made possible by the steady addition of electronic journals and networked database systems. The most-cited benefits include significant time-saving and convenience as well as access to more journals than ever. As a result, use of the physical library and its printed collections by faculty is declining. Chemistry faculty interviewed expressed a strong self-reliance in their information-seeking skills, and showed sophistication in their choice of tools.UT Librarie

Computing the canonical representation of constructible sets

Constructible sets are needed in many algorithms of Computer Algebra, particularly in the GröbnerCover and other algorithms for parametric polynomial systems. In this paper we review the canonical form ofconstructible sets and give algorithms for computing it.Peer ReviewedPostprint (author's final draft

Topic modeling for entity linking using keyphrase

This paper proposes an Entity Linking system that applies a topic modeling ranking. We apply a novel approach in order to provide new relevant elements to the model. These elements are keyphrases related to the queries and gathered from a huge Wikipedia-based knowledge resourcePeer ReviewedPostprint (author’s final draft

Proposed satellite position determination systems and techniques for Geostationary Synthetic Aperture Radar

This paper proposes two different calibration techniques for Geostationary Synthetic Aperture Radar (GEOSAR) missions requiring a high precision positioning, based on Active Radar Calibrators and Ground Based Interferometry. The research is enclosed in the preparation studies of a future GEOSAR mission providing continuous monitoring at continental scale.Peer ReviewedPostprint (author's final draft

Decisiveness indices are semiindices: addendum

In the paper Decisiveness indices are semiindices (Freixas and Pons, 2016) it was shown that any decisiveness index obtained from an anonymous probability distribution is a semiindex, and that the converse is not true. In this note we characterize the semiindices which are indices of decisiveness.Peer ReviewedPostprint (author's final draft

A neutron diode for subcritical multistage multipliers with special reference in tritium breeding

This is a copy of the author 's final draft version of an article published in the Journal of fusion energy. The final publication is available at Springer via http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s10894-015-0049-7In this paper the interaction between a magnetic field and the neutron spin magnetic moment is explored for use in the design of a neutron diode or valve that allows a neutron flux to pass in one direction, while preventing a neutron flux in the opposite direction. A neutron diode that ensures the unidirectional movement of neutrons could be used in the design of a subcritical multistage neutron multiplier, a device that has thus far not been realised. With a subcritical multistage neutron multiplier, an initial source of neutrons could be multiplied substantially in a very small area. Such a device could have potential applications in tritium breeding in a fusion reactor, in medicine, in space exploration, etc. Utilizing a simplified geometrical model, a first preliminary study is performed to assess the feasibility of this concept.Peer ReviewedPostprint (author's final draft

The group inverse of subdivision networks

In this paper, given a network and a subdivision of it, we show how the Group Inverse of the subdivision network can be related to the Group Inverse of initial given network. Our approach establishes a relationship between solutions of related Poisson problems on both networks and takes advantatge on the definition of the Group Inverse matrix.Peer ReviewedPostprint (author's final draft
