Influence of the type and time duration of curing in mechanical properties of the high performance concrete (hpc) produced in hot period (t>25ºc) and of low relative humidity the air (h<50%).
No full textIn the case of conventional concrete, small constructive defects, variations of mix proportion or even inadequate curings can not compromise significantly the material. No
longer HPC demands a severity in the control since its dosage until the execution, therefore any imperfection can bring serious damages to the material or the structure. Amongst the relative aspects most important to the total quality of any concrete it is the curing, that becomes basic when is about HPC. The curing of the high performance concrete constitutes in a controversial subject in the technician area as well as the type and duration of it, therefore the necessity of a deeper refined study on this subject. This research verifies the influence of the type and time of duration of curing in the mechanical properties of the HPC (compressive strength, flexion tensile strength and module of deformation), produced in Goiânia in hot period (t>25ºC) and of low relative humidity of air (h<50%) situation this considered critical for NBR 14931/2003 and predominant in the months of May the September in this region. In the experimental study were produced HPC of target compressive strength 60, 80 and 100MPa, from the Furnas Mix Proportion Method, using cement CP II-F-32, silica fume, polycarboxylate based superplasticizer, natural sand and crushed stones nº 0 of the granulite. 14 cures of different type and times of duration had been applied: curing with permanence of 1, 3, 7, 14, and 28 days inside of the humid chamber; curing with aspersion of water during 1, 3, 7, 14 and 28 days; chemical curing based on paraffin and chemical curing based on chloride rubber; cure for aspersion of water during 7 days and later sealing of the part with membrane of curing based on chloride rubber and air curing. For concretes of target compressive strength to the 28 days of 60 MPa and 80 MPa, the best type of curing was "saw humid" (curing in humid chamber and curing with aspersion of water) and the best time of duration humid was 7 days. For the one of 100 MPa the best type of curing also was "saw humid", however the duration time was 14 days. According to the chemical curing, some times the results had been even though less than to the one of reference (air curing). Among the two types of used chemical curing, difference in the results of compressive strength was not verified, despite the chemical membrane based on paraffin has an inferior cost to the chloride rubber base.No caso de concreto convencional, pequenos defeitos construtivos, variações de dosagem ou mesmo curas inadequadas podem não comprometer significativamente o
material. Já no CAD exige-se um rigor no controle desde sua dosagem até a execução, pois qualquer falha pode trazer sérios prejuízos ao material ou a estrutura. Dentre os aspectos
mais importantes relativos à qualidade total de qualquer concreto está a cura, o que se torna fundamental quando se trata de CAD. A cura do concreto de alto desempenho constitui assunto polêmico no meio técnico assim como o tipo e duração desta, por isso a necessidade de um estudo mais apurado sobre este tema.
Esta pesquisa verifica a influência do tipo e tempo de duração de cura nas propriedades mecânicas do CAD (resistência à compressão, resistência à tração na flexão e módulo de deformação), produzidos em Goiânia em período quente (t>25ºC) e de baixa umidade relativa do ar (h<50%), situação esta considerada crítica pela norma NBR 14931 (ABNT, 2003) e predominante nos meses de maio a setembro na região. No estudo experimental foram produzidos CAD de resistência à compressão estimada 60, 80 e 100MPa, a partir do Método de Dosagem de Furnas, utilizando cimento CP II-F-32, sílica ativa, superplastificante à base de éter carboxilato, areia natural e brita 0 de granulito. Foram aplicados 14 curas de diferentes tipos e tempos de duração: cura com permanência
de 1, 3, 7, 14, e 28 dias dentro da câmara úmida; cura através de aspersão de água durante 1, 3, 7, 14 e 28 dias; cura química com membrana à base de parafina e à base de borracha clorada; cura através de aspersão de água durante 7 dias e depois selagem da peça com membrana de cura à base de borracha clorada e cura ao ar. Para os concretos de resistência estimada aos 28 dias de 60 MPa e de 80 MPa, o
melhor tipo de cura foi via úmida (cura em câmara úmida e cura através de aspersão de água) e o melhor tempo de duração foi 7 dias. Para o de 100 MPa o melhor tipo de cura também foi via úmida , porém o tempo de duração foi 14 dias.
Quanto à cura química, algumas vezes os resultados foram até mesmo inferiores ao de referência (cura ao ar). Dentre os dois tipos de curas químicas utilizados não verificouse diferença nos resultados de resistência à compressão, salientando-se que a membrana química à base de parafina tem custo inferior à base de borracha clorada
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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 PDFWe 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
Get PDFWe 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
No full textWe 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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
