No full textDetail, curtain walling with custom louvered window vents, bolted glass assemblies and brise soleil manufactured by Schuco; Built by the Glasgow office of BDP. A key objective of the project was to create a landmark building which demonstrates environmental excellence in all aspects of design and function. The City Council headquarters achieved a BREEAM 'Very Good' rating. The building was designed with 74 key performance indicators, including solar water heating, rainwater recycling, green (grass) roofs, natural ventilation and façades designed to exceed requirements. Another key objective of the project was to create a building which allows the consolidation of several existing city services departments (some 20 buildings) under one roof in an open plan office; it houses 1600 staff.

Part of the ongoing redevelopment of Pacific Quay, an area which was once a cargo port known as Prince's Dock. The architects of the Glasgow Science Centre were Building Design Partnership (BDP), however the Glasgow Tower (previously known as the Millennium Tower) was originally designed by the architect Richard Horden with engineering design by Buro Happold. It is the tallest tower in the world in which the whole structure is capable of rotating 360 degrees, although it has been plagued by engineering problems.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
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
