COMPARISON BETWEEN WAVE ROTOR AND REGENERATIVE CYCLES IN PROPULSION
No full textTo compare the behaviour of regeneration and wave rotor techniques in jet propulsion a numerical code has been developed and some interesting results has been obtained. The code simulates the thermodynamic behaviour of different jet engines (simple turbojet, turbofan and turboprop), for different operative conditions and engine parameters. The numerical analysis has been carried on considering several efficiencies of regeneration and wave rotor pressure ratio. The simulations have put in evidence the effect of regeneration particularly on the specific fuel consumption and the effect of wave rotor mainly on the specific power. © 2001 The American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics Inc.

Genetic optimization of charge-pump PLL parameters
No full textThe optimal design of a charge pump PLL is carried out by means of a genetic algorithm. The optimized filter provides a significant reduction of the bandwidth with a limited overshoot. Some tests confirm the proposed approach is able to find a near-optimal solution, assuring good performance

Full text linkThe 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
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
