The UK Aircraft Noise Index Study: 20 Years on.
No full textIn the early 1980s the UK Department of Transport (now the Department for Transport: DfT is used here to cover all its incarnations) commissioned a study to determine what index should be used to
assess aircraft noise disturbance near major airports. This Aircraft Noise Index Study – ANIS – was completed in 1984 and published shortly afterwards (Brooker et al – ‘ANIS Report’ 1). This study included extensive social surveys and noise measurements around these airports, plus detailed statistical analyses. The main result of the study was that Leq (A weighted) would be an appropriate index. Following publication of the ANIS Report, consultation, and some further work 2,
the decision to use the 16-hour Leq for the UK aircraft noise index was announced in September 1990. The standard calculation method is described in Ollerhead et al 3.
This paper reviews the methodology of the ANIS work and the subsequent criticisms of ANIS and Leq, with the hindsight of 20 years. Obviously, with such a large subject, it is only possible to give a
flavour of the material, so reference should be made to the source documents regarding detailed questions. Unless otherwise noted, references are to data in the ANIS Report
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
A One-Way Car-Sharing Based Approach for Combined Shared Mobility of Freight and Passengers
No full textClimate change stresses the need for research and development of innovative sustainable mobility solutions that provide reliable and convenient door-to-door services for both passengers and freight. The increase in urban population and the popularity of e-commerce further highlights the need for action. In this regard, crowd-shipping is often perceived as an efficient, cost-effective, and sustainable alternative (or complement) to the management of urban freight mobility through efficient utilization of current transportation capacities. In this framework, inspired by the concept of MaaS (Mobility as a Service) in integrating various forms of transport and transport-related services into a single on-demand mobility service, this paper proposes a car-sharing-based service for the combined mobility of passengers and freight. In doing so, one-way car-sharing and crowd-shipping concepts are integrated in order to serve part of the existing freight demand in a sustainable and cost-efficient way for users, societies, and the environment. An optimization model is proposed to optimally plan the activation of one-way car-sharing and crowd-shipping services and to determine the optimal number of vehicles to assign to them. Such decisions are aimed at minimizing the total imbalance by serving passenger and freight demand during different time periods. In doing so, the willingness of users to carry freight in their vehicles is also taken into consideration. The capability of the proposed approach is evaluated through representative numerical examples aimed at showing the impact of the model parameters on the solution.Transport and Plannin
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
Retificador PWM trifásico de 26KW, três níveis unidirecional, fator de potência unitário e alto rendimento para aplicação em centrais de telecomunicação
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro Tecnológico. Programa de Pós-Graduação em Engenharia Elétrica.Este trabalho apresenta o estudo de um retificador para aplicação em centrais de telecomunicações. Além da elevada potencia processada (26kW), outras caracteristicas tornam este trabalho um grande desafio: entrada trifásica e sem ponto neutro, utilização de um conversor três níveis com fator de potência unitário e alto rendimento. A topologia do retificador não foi encontrada antes na literatura e a técnica de controle para correção do fator de potência em retificadores monofásicos é aplicada nesta topologia. Também é apresentado o estudo detalhado de um snubber passivo não-dissipativo que possibilita a entrada em condução dos interruptores quase ZCS e o bloqueio quase ZCS. De forma a validar todo o estudo teórico, faz-se um projeto completo do retificador e monta-se em laboratório um protótipo. Resultados de simulação também são apresentado
O Portador de transtorno mental infrator e o benefício de prestação continuada: direito ou negação
No full textTCC (graduação) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro Sócio Econômico, Curso de Serviço Social.O presente Trabalho de Conclusão de Curso consiste em uma pesquisa bibliográfica, documental e de observação dedicada a refletir um tema especifico da política de assistência social. Busca-se fazer uma análise crítica a respeito do Beneficio de Prestação Continuada # BPC, tendo como sujeito o portador de transtorno mental infrator que se encontra internado no Hospital de Custódia e Tratamento Psiquiátrico de Santa Catarina - HCTP. Para melhor compreender a temática traçase o percurso histórico da loucura, como esta passou de divinizada para algo diabólico; e como se deu o processo de sua institucionalização e, por conseguinte todo o processo de segregação ao qual este sujeito está submetido. No decorrer do estudo, vemos que existe uma proposta de desinstitucionalização decorrente do Movimento de Reforma Psiquiátrica e, diante desta nova perspectiva de se trabalhar para a reinserção do portador de transtorno mental ao convívio social e familiar, colocamos a importância do BPC neste processo, como uma possibilidade de acesso a outras políticas públicas, que venha a contribuir para a autonomia do portador de transtorno mental, ainda que relativa. Todavia nos deparamos com restrições para o acesso ao referido beneficio: o que seria direito conforme nos indica nossa Constituição Federal se vê em meio a contradições que acabam por negá-la como ta
Author, publisher and bookseller : a tripartite synergy in Nigerian book industry
No full textThis work is about the roles of Author, Publisher and Bookseller in Book development in
Nigeria. The paper started by delving into the history of Book Publishing in Nigeria after
which it proceeded by defining who an author, a publisher, and a bookseller is and
expatiated on the indispensable roles of these key actors in Nigerian Book Industry and in
the emerging Information Society. Furthermore, the various constraints to book
development were identified while the paper advised on how the Book Industry can be
further promoted in Nigeria. However, the paper concluded and made recommendations
on how the Book sector can help in enhancing scholarship in the country
