    Um ein Power-to-Gas-to-X-System effizient zu optimieren, kann ein digitaler Zwilling als Simulationsmodell auf Basis experimenteller Daten für ein Laborsystem erstellt und entsprechend verändert werden. Darüber hinaus müssen für die Überwachung des realen Systems bzw. die Online-Simulation kontinuierlich Daten aus Experiment und Simulation erfasst und verarbeitet werden. Insgesamt ist ein effizienter Datenmanagement-Workflow erforderlich. In dieser Arbeit wird ein Workflow aus freier, etablierter und skalierbarer Open-Source-Software für die vorliegende Anwendung skizziert und insbesondere ein geeignetes Datenmodell entwickelt, implementiert und seine ressourcensparende Realisierung auf kostengünstiger Hardware gezeigt. Abhängig von der Datenmodellierung kann preiswerte und alte Hardware für die geforderte Aufgabe ausreichend sein. Mit Apache NiFi wird ein visueller Workflow zum Abrufen und Verarbeiten von Daten aus verschiedenen Quellen geschaffen. Die extrahierten Daten werden in Apache Cassandra aggregiert, einem Datensystem, das aufgrund seiner Leistung, Skalierbarkeit und Haltbarkeit häufig verwendet wird. Grafana wird zur visuellen Überwachung des Systems eingesetzt. Das gesamte System wird mit Hilfe von Docker-Containern aufgebaut zum Zwecke der Reproduzierbarkeit und effizienten Bereitstellung. Benchmarks und realistische Hardware- und Datenmodellierungskonfigurationen demonstrieren die Leistung der vorgeschlagenen Lösung.In order to efficiently optimize a power-to-gas-to‑X system, a digital twin can be created as a simulation model based on experimental data for a laboratory system and modified accordingly. In addition, data from experiment and simulation must be continuously recorded and processed for monitoring and online simulation. Overall, an efficient data management workflow is required. In this paper, a workflow consisting of free, established and scalable open-source software is outlined for the application at hand and, in particular, a suitable data model is developed, implemented and its resource-saving realization on low-cost hardware is demonstrated. Depending on the data modeling, inexpensive and old hardware may be sufficient for the required task. Apache NiFi is used to create a visual workflow for retrieving and processing data from various sources. The extracted data is aggregated in Apache Cassandra, a data system widely used for its performance, scalability and durability. Grafana is used for visual monitoring of the system. The entire system is built using Docker containers for the purpose of reproducibility and efficient deployment. Benchmarks and realistic hardware and data modeling configurations demonstrate the stated performance and sustainability of the proposed solution

    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

    Sizing optimization of hybrid hydrogen energy storage systems: A metamodel-based approach

    Full text link
    Hybrid energy storage systems (HESS), consisting of a battery, hydrogen storage, electrolyzer and fuel cell, have received increasing attention from the scientific community in recent years as they can help increase the use of renewable energy. In this paper, a novel metamodel-based sizing optimization workflow is developed. The workflow is demonstrated on residential building scenarios with real solar power data. Sobol sequences are utilized to vary the component size in simulation, while radial basis functions are employed to approximate simulation results, which are then used for the optimization. The utilization of waste heat from Power-to-Gas and Gas-to-Power processes is evaluated using thermal equations by extending an existing coupled electrochemical and thermodynamic HESS model built in the multiphysical energy system simulator MEgy. The results show a functional workflow that optimizes sizing for a given scenario and outputs the component’s daily energy balance and state of charge.17

    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

    Full text link
    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

    Full text link
    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

    No full text
    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
