Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

On January 1, 2004, we commenced our mandates as Editors-in-Chief of the new journal, Plasma Processes and Polymers, which we are indeed very pleased and proud to launch at this time. Two of us, R. d'Agostino and M. R. Wertheimer, were previously Editors-in-Chief of another journal of quite similar name, P. Favia was Associate Editor, and C. Oehr was a member of its Editorial Board. We departed in order to start this new journal, the latest member in Wiley-VCH's superb family of journals on polymer science and technology, and materials science in general, the most extensive among all Science Publishers. All four of us begin as Editors-in-Chief with the pledge to do our very best to earn and justify the confidence in us demonstrated to us not only by the management and staff of Wiley-VCH, but also by all our friends and colleagues in the scientific community. While our previous Editorship was a useful and, in many ways, agreeable experience, the constraints it imposed on us were too rigid, and the potential for growth far too limited. You may ask “Why another new journal?” In this age of shrinking library budgets, inflation in new publications, rising costs of subscriptions and dilution of high-quality articles, then, is this initiative really justified? We feel that the answer is definitely a strong affirmative in the case of Plasma Processes and Polymers, for the following reasons: The surface modification of materials, specifically of polymers, by etching (ablation), deposition of thin coatings, and deliberate chemical/topological changes has become essential in a very wide range of application areas, where materials with enhanced performance requirements are being used. This includes such high-volume technology fields as automotive, aerospace, packaging, chemicals, etc., but also lower-volume, high added-value product areas such as microelectronics, biomedical, pharmaceutical, communications and displays, light sources, and numerous other technologies. The underlying fundamental science has been progressing extremely rapidly in recent years, thanks to many advances in experimental techniques, as well as in theoretical modeling and in computing power. But the mandate of Plasma Processes and Polymers is not restricted to polymer substrates and to organic (plasma polymerized) thin films, even though the name may suggest this: the journal is also open to articles dealing with plasma-based treatments, over a wide range of pressures, of other solid materials, even of organic wastes in streams of gases or liquids. Furthermore, the journal welcomes contributions dealing with materials treatments based on the use of particle beams (electrons, ions, neutrals) and of photons, since all of these exist in plasmas, and they are frequently created with the help of plasma-based sources. Needless to say, articles dealing with plasma sources of all kinds, and more fundamental issues such as plasma diagnostics and modelling studies are equally welcome. Given this broad mandate and the fact that our base of readers and contributors is highly cross-disciplinary (materials scientists, physicists, chemists, biologists, engineers, industrialists, health scientists and physicians, among others), relevant articles are currently scattered over a vast array of journals and other media, with little focus and in a state of high dilution. Plasma Processes and Polymers has been created to correct this unfortunate situation, to serve as focus and “home” for the scientific and technical communities working in the above-mentioned fields. Plasma Processes and Polymers will publish Reviews and Feature Articles as well as Communications and Full Papers by internationally renowned experts. In the section “Plasma News”, readers will be informed about conferences, awards, people, projects and market trends. Furthermore, book reviews and announcements of important international events will appear regularly in these pages. We can already promise and guarantee you extremely high efficiency, a trademark of the Wiley-VCH organisation. Thanks to the online manuscript submission service, all correspondence (submission, refereeing, submission of revised manuscripts, etc.) can be handled electronically. This saves postage costs and time. With “manuscript Xpress”, authors and referees have their own personal homepage. Authors can upload the entire manuscript via the Internet, have submissions immediately available for reviewing, and check the manuscript status online at any time. For referees, the manuscripts are available online for peer reviewing without the need to send large data files by e-mail. Referees can fill out journal-specific referee forms with comments to the editor and author and use a personal archive of their referee reports, together with the original PDF versions of the manuscripts. Furthermore, WileyInterscience offers the EarlyView service. This service makes it possible for articles to appear online days or weeks before a complete issue is compiled; in other words, articles published on the web appear several weeks before the printed issue reaches the readers' desks. Other important factors which allow us to make our pledge are an experienced, highly professional and motivated publishing staff, and a superb International Advisory Board composed entirely of leaders in their respective fields of expertise. Just like the Editors and their collaborators, board members will regularly contribute to Plasma Processes and Polymers. The combination of all these constructive measures will help us assure that the journal's content will always remain relevant and meet the needs of its readers. We welcome and strongly encourage your contributions to Plasma Processes and Polymers; please visit our homepage at http://www.plasma-polymers.org, where you will find further information about the journal and author guidelines, as well as the link to manuscriptXpress for online submission of manuscripts. We are confident that Plasma Processes and Polymers will become a lively, indispensable meeting place for the large and ever-growing community of workers in this field; we very much look forward to welcoming you among us.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
