Radicchi and Castellano (2012) suggest a method for assessing the fairness of citation indicators. The idea is simple and quite ingenious. If a set of publications is a representative sample of all publications in certain fields of research, then the top z percent of publications ranked by a fair citation indicator should have the same distribution of fields as the overall sample. For example, ...

In this review, we compare the use of coercion in mental health care in Germany and in the Netherlands. Legal frameworks and published data on involuntary commitment, involuntary medication, seclusion, and restraint are highlighted as well as the role of guidelines, training, and attitudes held by psychiatrists and the public. Legal procedures regulating involuntary admission and commitment are...

The position of an interface (domain wall) in a medium with random pinning defects is not determined unambiguously by a current value of the driving force even in average. Based on general theory of the interface motion in a random medium we study this hysteresis, different possible shapes of domain walls and dynamical phase transitions between them. Several principal characteristics of the hys...

It is shown that microstructure, dielectric and piezoelectric properties change in films based on lanthanum-substituted bismuth titanate (BLT) depending the alloying impurity material, which leads to changes coercive voltage, internal displacement field control coefficient. Keywords: lead-free ferroelectric films, titanate, electrophysical properties, capacitance-voltage characteristics, piezor...

th century, Hans Delbrück described war in terms of annihilation and exhaustion.1 A century later, after the advent of airplanes, access to space, computers, nuclear weapons, computers, and the information revolution, strategists introduced a new paradigm, effects-based operations. This concept suggests a new national objective: control of an enemy. Control is a contemporary, efficient, and hum...

Supply chain integration nowadays is considered an important approach to building and sustaining competitive advantages. Many previous empirical researches have investigated trust and power between suppliers and customers, yet, the effects of trust and coercive power on supply chain integration are still largely unknown. This study investigates trust, coercive power and their interaction and th...
