  • Standardization Problem of Author Affiliations in Citation Indexes
    Standardization Problem of Author Affiliations in Citation Indexes Zehra Taşkın and Umut Al Hacettepe University, Department of Information Management, 06800, Beytepe ANKARA Tel: +90 (312) 297 8200 Fax: +90 (312) 299 2014 [email protected] Abstract: Academic effectiveness of universities is measured with the number of publications and citations. However, accessing all the publications of a university reveals a challenge related to the mistakes and standardization problems in citation indexes. The main aim of this study is to seek a solution for the unstandardized addresses and publication loss of universities with regard to this problem. To achieve this, all Turkey-addressed publications published between 1928 and 2009 were analyzed and evaluated deeply. The results show that the main mistakes are based on character or spelling, indexing and translation errors. Mentioned errors effect international visibility of universities negatively, make bibliometric studies based on affiliations unreliable and reveal incorrect university rankings. To inhibit these negative effects, an algorithm was created with finite state technique by using Nooj Transducer. Frequently used 47 different affiliation variations for Hacettepe University apart from “Hacettepe Univ” and “Univ Hacettepe” were determined by the help of finite state grammar graphs. In conclusion, this study presents some reasons of the inconsistencies for university rankings. It is suggested that, mistakes and standardization issues should be considered by librarians, authors, editors, policy makers and managers to be able to solve these problems. Keywords: Standardization Problem, Finite State Technique, Data Accuracy, Data Unification, Address Unification, Research Evaluation, University Rankings, Citation Indexes, Nooj Introduction Citation indexes are used not only for following literature, but also making citation analyses.

Abstract: Conventional soliton (CS) and noise-like pulse (NLP) are two different kinds of pulse regimes in ultrafast fiber lasers, which have many intense applications. In this article, we experimentally demonstrate that the pulse regime of an Er-doped fiber laser could be converted between conventional soliton and noise-like pulse by using fast response saturable absorbers (SA) made from different layers of single-wall carbon nanotubes (CNT). For the monolayer (ML) single-wall CNT-SA, CS with pulse duration of 439 fs at 1560 nm is achieved while for the bilayer (BL) single-wall CNT, NLP at 1560 nm with a 1.75 ps spike and a 98 ps pedestal is obtained. The transition mechanism from CS to NLP is investigated by analyzing the optical characteristics of ML and BL single-wall CNT.

  • Real-Time Observation of Dissipative Soliton Formation in Nonlinear Polarization Rotation Mode- Locked fibre Lasers
    ARTICLE DOI: 10.1038/s42005-018-0022-7 OPEN Real-time observation of dissipative soliton formation in nonlinear polarization rotation mode- locked fibre lasers Junsong Peng1, Mariia Sorokina2, Srikanth Sugavanam2, Nikita Tarasov2,3, Dmitry V. Churkin3, 1234567890():,; Sergei K. Turitsyn2,3 & Heping Zeng1 Formation of coherent structures and patterns from unstable uniform state or noise is a fundamental physical phenomenon that occurs in various areas of science ranging from biology to astrophysics. Understanding of the underlying mechanisms of such processes can both improve our general interdisciplinary knowledge about complex nonlinear systems and lead to new practical engineering techniques. Modern optics with its high precision mea- surements offers excellent test-beds for studying complex nonlinear dynamics, though capturing transient rapid formation of optical solitons is technically challenging. Here we unveil the build-up of dissipative soliton in mode-locked fibre lasers using dispersive Fourier transform to measure spectral dynamics and employing autocorrelation analysis to investi- gate temporal evolution. Numerical simulations corroborate experimental observations, and indicate an underlying universality in the pulse formation. Statistical analysis identifies cor- relations and dependencies during the build-up phase. Our study may open up possibilities for real-time observation of various nonlinear structures in photonic systems. 1 State Key Laboratory of Precision Spectroscopy, East China Normal University, 200062 Shanghai,

Ottoman history is not only the field of my research. It became a passion. I am indebted to Prof. Dr. Jan Dumolyn, my supervisor, who has given me the opportunity to take on this extremely interesting journey. And not only that. He has also given me moral support and methodological guidance throughout the whole process. The frequent meetings to discuss the thesis were at times somewhat like a wrestling match, but they have always been inspiring and stimulating. I also want to thank Prof. Dr. Suraiya Faroqhi and Prof. Dr. Jo Vansteenbergen, for their expert suggestions. My colleagues of the History Department have also been supportive by letting me share my ideas in development during research meetings at the department, lunches and visits to the pub. I would also like to sincerely thank the scholars who shared their ideas and expertise with me: Dimitris Kastritsis, Feridun Emecen, David Wrisley, Güneş Işıksel, Deborah Boucayannis, Kadir Dede, Kristof d’Hulster, Xavier Baecke and many others.
