ModAICSS : Modelling of the acceptance and the involvement of consumers and electricity producers for multi-stakeholder energetic supervision
No full textLes défis environnementaux auxquels nous sommes confrontés impliquent de consommer moins, plus efficacement, et de produire de manière moins impactante. D'un point de vue électrique, la gestion d'énergie dans les réseaux est un des points cruciaux pour atteindre la meilleure efficacité possible tout en augmentant la pénétration d'énergies renouvelables, garante d'une production moins polluante. L'ensemble des acteurs du réseau doit donc prendre part à l'équilibre du réseau, tout en ayant leurs sensibilités et contraintes respectées. Cette prise en compte des acteurs est en effet un gage d'acceptation et d'implication de ceux-ci. Ce travail se veut donc exploratoire, par la définition et la compréhension des acteurs du réseau électrique dans un premier temps, puis par la réflexion sur l'intégration de leurs profils dans un superviseur énergétique. Le génie électrique seul ne permettant pas de répondre entièrement à cette problématique, l'apport des sciences humaines et sociales a donc été sollicité. Cette thèse a donc un fort caractère interdisciplinaire, illustré par la coopération avec des chercheurs en sociologie et économie impliqués dans son encadrement. Le résultat de ces recherches est une méthodologie en 3 étapes, applicable à tous les acteurs du réseau. La première étape est la définition des profils d'acteurs. La deuxième est la première brique du superviseur énergétique, optimisant les productions/consommations la veille pour le lendemain. Enfin, la troisième étape est la partie temps réel du superviseur, ajustant au cours de la journée les productions/consommations. Cette thèse se décompose donc en deux parties distinctes: d'un côté la méthodologie présentant le détails des étapes et des approches choisies, et de l'autre l'application de cette méthode à un cas d'étude résidentiel.The environmental challenges we are currently facing require a drastic shifting in our way to consume: the new paradigm should be less, efficiently, and with the lowest possible impact on the environment. From the electric grid point of view, energy management is of particular interest to reach efficiency while increasing the penetration rate of renewable energy sources, thus ensuring an environmentally friendly production. To that end, all grid stakeholders must take part in the equilibrium, while having their sensitivities and constraints respected. This consideration of stakeholders objectives is indeed an important factor for their acceptance and their involvement. The novelty of this exploratory work is to be found in the definition and understanding of electrical grid stakeholders, and the integration of their profiles in an energy supervisor. As electrical engineering alone does not enable to grasp all the aspects of the problematic, the contribution of humanities and social sciences was introduced. Therefore the interdisciplinary dimension is strong, illustrated by the cooperation with sociology and economy researchers involved in the oversee of this research. The result is a 3-steps methodology applicable to each stakeholder of the grid. The first step is the definition and segmentation of stakeholder profiles. The second step is the first stage of the energy supervisor, optimizing the production and consumption a day ahead. Finally, the third step is the real time management of energy, adjusting the production and consumption during the day. This thesis is therefore divided into two distinct parts: on one side, the global methodology describing each step and the potential approaches, on the other hand, the use of this methodology on a residential case study
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.
