    ON THE COMPLEX FORMULA OF THE APPARENT POWER IN CALCULATIONS OF THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS

    The paper offers the mathematically correct notation of the coordinate axes on the plain of complex numbers for Theoretical Science of Electrical Engineering. The complexes of various electrical quantities (electromotances, voltages, currents, capacities, resistances, and conductivities) are proposed to notate similarly showing the significance of observing continuity and uniformity in notation. The author studies various forms of complex power notation. Of all forms of notation currently in use, he reasonably chooses the one mathematically proper and solely adequate to the physical processes. It is known that the calculation of the sine-wave current electrical circuits can be performed by way of transposing the sinusoidal equation (the trigonometrical method) which is cumbersome. Recomposing time diagrams (the timediagram method) of the required sinusoidal functions is demonstrative, however unveracious. The phasor-diagram method is convenient, more pictorial but, like any other graphical approach, moderately inaccurate, cumbersome especially for branched circuits. And finally symbolic (or complex) method which retains visual expressiveness of graphical solution since it is easy to build a phasor diagram by the symbolic notation of electrical quantities. The given method allows analytical solving issues with any degree of precision. Beyond that, the symbolic method holds consistency of the obtained results which follows from the inextricable link between different presentation-methods of the sine functions. There should be no contradictions between these methods which is the principle merit of the proposed notation form. And that will allow avoiding embarrassing mistakes

Подобное предложение было сделано и относительно обозначений комплексов различных электрических величин (ЭДС, напряжений, токов, мощностей, сопротивлений и проводимостей). Показана важность соблюдения преемственности и единообразия в обозначениях. Исследуются различные формы записи комплексной мощности. Из известных форм записи обоснованно выбрана адекватная физическим процессам и математически правильная. Известно, что расчет электрических цепей синусоидального тока можно выполнить, преобразовывая уравнения синусоид (тригонометрический метод). Это трудоемко. Можно перестроить временные диаграммы нужных синусоидальных функций (метод временных диаграмм), что наглядно, но неточно. Можно воспользоваться методом векторных диаграмм – это удобно, более наглядно, но, как любой графический метод, сравнительно неточно, громоздко, особенно для разветвленных цепей. Наконец, можно использовать символический метод, сохраняющий наглядность графического решения, так как по символической записи электрических величин легко построить векторную диаграмму. Данный метод дает возможность аналитически решать вопросы с любой степенью точности. Помимо этого, символический метод обладает непротиворечивостью получаемых результатов, что вытекает из неразрывной связи между различными методами представления синусоидальных функций. Между этими методами не должно существовать никаких противоречий. Это и есть главное достоинство предложенной формы записи полной мощности при расчете электрических систем, что позволяет избежать досадных ошибок

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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

    Get PDF
    We 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

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    We 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

    koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist

    We have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
