Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
The effect on fulfillment time of the M-Division warehouse design approach
No full textIn last years, we are facing on the diffusion of on-line orders, a process further accelerated by the spread of the COVID-19 virus. A fundamental lever in the use of the e-Commerce is the continuous reduction of the fulfillment time. In order to obtain these improvements, the storage method has been revolutionized. In fact, we are talking about Online order fulfillment warehouses (F-Warehouses) which, unlike traditional warehouses, have a very large number of small bin locations, an explosive storage policy, where an incoming bulk is separated into small lots stocked in any bin throughout the warehouse, and commingled bin storage. The divided warehouse (M-Division) with explosive storage is a novel design, where the warehouse is divided in M-zones managed by specific pickers. In this paper we model the fulfillment process as an N server queuing model with uniform service times and compare the fulfillment time of the traditional warehouse with the M-Division warehouse. In particular, an analytical solution assigns items to the M-Division warehouse in order to minimize the fulfillment time. The results show that the M-Division approach permits a reduction of the fulfillment time compared with the traditional one

Processos de classificação e de categorização da diversidade cultural e migratória das populações no contexto europeu
No full textO debate em torno da classificação e da categorização da diversidade cultural e migratória das populações que vivem no espaço europeu tornou-se mais relevante e complexificou-se na presente década. Este debate é marcado por falta de consenso sobre que indicadores devem ser recolhidos para caracterizar a origem das populações. A falta de orientações específicas e as diferentes formas de classificação contribuem para uma heterogeneidade de categorias utilizadas para caracterizar a origem das populações, concebendo-se diferentes formas de ler e observar a realidade da diversidade cultural e migratória em cada país. Neste quadro, o principal objetivo deste documento de trabalho é proceder ao levantamento dos processos de classificação e de categorização da diversidade cultural e migratória das populações, em curso nos países europeus. O texto está organizado em três secções. Na primeira analisam-se os indicadores recolhidos nas estatísticas oficiais (censos) dos países europeus para classificar e categorizar a origem das populações. Na segunda alarga-se a análise aos modelos de classificação e de categorização das populações de origem imigrante utilizados na produção de conhecimento científico. Por último, considerando que todos estes processos analíticos transportam desafios, dilemas e problemas, sintetizam-se os principais problemas presentes nos esquemas de classificação e de categorização, organizados em quatro dimensões: (i) os problemas político-jurídicos; (ii) os problemas de reducionismo; (iii) os problemas de comparabilidade; e (iv) o problema da exterioridade.aceit

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.

O papel das agências de regulação no Brasil no período 1998-2002: experiências e resultados
No full textTCC (graduação) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina. Centro Sócio-Econômico. Economia.0 presente trabalho examina o papel das agências de regulação no Brasil no período 1998- 2002. Com a reestruturação do papel do Estado a partir dos anos 80, o Brasil adota a exemplo de outros países, novas diretrizes que norteiam as funções das políticas públicas. 0 Estado brasileiro reformula suas funções no campo da fiscalização e regulação dos serviços públicos, oportunidade em que busca a parceria com a iniciativa privada para expandir o crescimento econômico em diversas Areas. Em decorrência das medidas implantadas, diversos setores econômicos foram privatizados, exigindo do Estado brasileiro a criação de instrumentos para fiscalizar e regular o comportamento dos agentes econômicos, o que provocou substanciais modificações no aparato jurídico-institucional. As agências reguladoras foram criadas para atender a relação estabelecida entre Estado e os agentes econômicos, com a preocupação de manter o equilíbrio entres as partes envolvidas e induzir o funcionamento do mercado competitivo. Para garantir a eficiência econômica, as agências reguladoras foram implantadas com características especiais e com a filosofia de ter órgãos independentes e técnicos. 0 foco central é regular e criar ambientes competitivos, estabelecendo a concorrência entre os agentes econômicos e permitindo o bom funcionamento do mercado. Através dos dados analisados neste estudo as agências de regulação ANEEL, ANP e ANATEL contribuíram para aumentar a eficiência econômica no Brasil
Avaliação do desempenho dos componentes de cartão em embalagens
No full textMestrado em Engenharia QuímicaEsta dissertação tem como objetivo avaliar a influência de matérias-primas pré-selecionadas e das condições processuais utilizadas no fabrico de embalagens de cartão da Empresa Cartig, Cartão e Artigos para Embalagem, Lda. Propõe-se neste trabalho, melhorar a aparência do produto final, tendo em consideração a qualidade e a fiabilidade dos produtos, face aos seus clientes.
Inicialmente, determinou-se a composição química e morfológica de três cartolinas distintas pré-selecionadas, com gramagens diferentes, Barcelona 250 g∙m-2, Brasil 250 g∙m-2 e Brasil 225 g∙m-2. Estas cartolinas fazem parte da embalagem final de cartão.
Através da técnica de medição do ângulo de contacto, comparou-se o desempenho das cartolinas referidas anteriormente, a diferentes condições de humidade (40% e 80%) e temperatura (≈20°C e 35°C), para avaliar as condições processuais no fabrico das embalagens. A partir desta mesma técnica, estudou-se o desempenho de contracolagem e colagem das colas frias, Euroflex 5119 e INDU C 2065, usadas no processo contracolagem de cartolinas, e Aquence FB 7371 e Aquence FB 7362 utilizadas no processo colagem de embalagens da empresa.
Ainda neste trabalho, determinaram-se as propriedades e as características das colas frias utilizadas no processo de colagem e contracolagem, através do pH, teor de sólidos, viscosidade, assim como, das técnicas FTIR-ATR e TGA.
A análise térmica DCS foi aplicada apenas à cola quente Technomelt Supra Ultra GA 3920 usada na colagem das embalagens.
Estimaram-se as propriedades físico-mecânicas das cartolinas pré-selecionadas que são fundamentais para a caracterização da resistência e qualidade do material. O tempo de secagem ótimo das colas utilizadas no processo de colagem da empresa foi determinado através de ensaios fabris, com um estudo da humidade relativa ao longo do tempo das cartolinas China 200 g∙m-2 e Avelino Bastos 225 g∙m-2. O grau de adesividade foi determinado através do Teste de Adesividade (PAT) a todas as colas e cartolinas envolvidas no trabalho.
Verificou-se que as condições fabris (temperatura e humidade) influenciam bastante os resultados de contracolagem, especialmente a baixas temperaturas. Nesta dissertação conclui-se também que, a cola mais favorável para o processo de colagem da empresa é a cola Aquence FB 7371 e, no processo de contracolagem é a Euroflex 5119, sendo que estas impregnam-se pouco nas cartolinas e canelados em condições de temperaturas elevadas e humidades reduzidas (35ºC e 40%), evitando prejudicar a aparência da embalagem. Por último, face às três cartolinas pré-selecionadas, a Brasil 250 g∙m-2 é a cartolina com melhores características, propriedades de resistência, qualidade e relação cola/adesividade. Esta em condições de baixa humidade e temperaturas elevadas apresenta elevados ângulos de contacto com as colas estudadas, mantendo uma adesividade elevada e uma boa performance.This dissertation aims to evaluate the influence of pre-selected raw materials and the procedural conditions used in the manufacture of carton packs of the company Cartig, Cartão e Artigos para Embalagem, Lda. The objective of this work was to improve the appearance of the final product, considering the quality and reliability of the products, for the customers.
Initially, the chemical and morphological composition of three pre-selected different cardboards with different weights, namely, Barcelona 250 g∙m-2, Brazil 250 g∙m-2 and Brazil 225 g∙m-2, were determined. These cartons are part of the final carton package.
Through the contact angle measurement technique, the performance of the above-mentioned cardboards was compared to different humidity conditions (40% and 80%) and temperature (≈20 ° C and 35 ° C) to evaluate the procedural conditions in the manufacturing of packages. Using the same technique, the glue performance and gluing performance of the cold glues, Euroflex 5119 and INDU C 2065, used in the backed gluing process of cardboards, and Aquence FB 7371 and Aquence FB 7362 used in the gluing process of the company packaging were studied.
Also in this work, the properties and characteristics of cold glues used in the gluing and backed gluing processes were determined through pH, solids content, viscosity, as well as FTIR-ATR and TGA techniques. Thermal DCS analysis was applied only to the hot glue Technomelt Supra Ultra GA 3920 used in the gluing of packages.
The physical-mechanical properties of the pre-selected cardboards were determined, being these fundamental for the characterization of the strength and quality of the material. The optimal drying time of the glue used in the gluing process of the company was determined by manufacturing tests, the study of moisture over time, to the cardboards China 200 g∙m-2 and Avelino Bastos 225 g∙m-2. The degree of adhesiveness was determined through the Pin Adhesion Test (PAT) to all glues and cardboards involved in the work.
It has been found that the manufacturing conditions (temperature and humidity) greatly influence the results of the backed gluing, especially at low temperatures. In this dissertation, it is also concluded that the glue most favorable to the gluing process of the company is the glue Aquence FB 7371 and, in the process of back gluing is the Euroflex 5119, which impregnates less in the cardboards on conditions of high temperatures and reduced humidity (35ºC and 40%), avoiding to spoil the appearance of the packaging. Finally, comparing the three pre-selected cardboards, Brazil 250 g∙m-2 is the cardboard with the best characteristics, resistance properties, quality and glue/adhesion ratio. It is in conditions of low humidity and high temperatures that it has high angles of contact with the glues studied, maintaining a high adhesiveness and good performance
