    Application of Bayesian Techniques to Turbine Condition Monitoring

    Full text link
    Abstract. The application of a Maximum Likelihood Estimate technique has been implemented in an Engine Condition Monitoring framework for a small turboshaft for power generation purposes. The turboshaft has been modeled in a fully non-linear way, by using actual turbomachine performance maps obtained from the manufacturer: the accuracy of the simulation proved to be very good with respect to real operating data. The model was used both to generate sample synthetic dataset (by adding Gaussian noise to the selected outputs-measurements) and as the core computational engine in the identification process. The results obtain show the very good robustness of the proposed identification process, and its capability of dealing with noisy or even malfunctioning transducers. This capability is provided by the possibility of determining a mathematically sound statistical framework, which is not only capable of identifying the most likely fault configuration but also to indicate the confidence level with which the identification is performed

    La tematica dei padri nella disabilità è intrecciata con un livello di indagine che potremmo definire specifico - paternità e disabilità di un figlio - e con un altro livello di indagine più generale, richiamando alla nostra attenzione una riflessione pedagogico-educativa che riesca a tenere insieme i temi riguardanti l'educare parentale oggi, nella società occidentale

    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

    Il tempo nel quale viviamo è il tempo dell'impallidire paterno: ce lo spiega molto bene Recalcati che affronta la questione della genitorialità in chiave psicoanalitica. Il problema che contraddistingue il nostro tempo consiste nel riuscire a preservare la funzione paterna di fronte ad una radicale e generalizzata deviazione del discorso educativo sul soddisfacimento e sugli oggetti materiali

    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 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
