Green buildings pay: Design, productivity and ecology, Third edition
No full textThis third edition of Green Buildings Pay presents new evidence and new arguments concerning the institutional and business case that can be made for green design. The green argument has moved a long way forward since the previous edition, and this fully updated book addresses the key issues faced by architect, engineer and client today. Green Buildings Pay: Design, Productivity and Ecology examines, through a range of detailed case studies, how different approaches to green design can produce more sustainable patterns of development. These cases are examined from three main perspectives: that of the architect, the client and the user. Completely revised with all new chapters, cases, sections and introductory material the third edition presents: • over 20 new researched case studies drawn from the UK, Europe and the USA, written in collaboration with the architects, engineers, clients and user groups • examples of office and educational buildings of high sustainable and high architectural quality • an exploration of the architectural innovations that have been driven by environmental thinking, such as the new approaches to the design of building facades, roofs, and atria • cases which demonstrate current practice in the area of energy/eco-retrofits of existing buildings • documentation of the benefit impact assessment schemes such as LEED and BREEAM have had upon client expectations and on design approaches over the past decade • beautiful full color illustrations throughout. In the fast evolving arena of green building, the book shows how architects are reshaping their practices to deal with ever more demanding energy standards and better informed users and corporate clients
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
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 linkWe 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 linkWe 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
Fracture resistance of 3D nano-architected lattice materials
Full text linkExploiting small scale material effects and structural topology, nano-architected lattices represent a recent novel class of mechanical metamaterials, which exhibit unprecedented combination of mechanical properties. Together with scarce resistance to fracture and catastrophic failure, understanding of the fracture characteristics and properties of 3D nano-architected lattices still represents a limiting factor for the design and realization of future engineering applications. Here, using a combination of in-situ tensile fracture experiments and finite element simulations, we first show the possibility to reach stable crack growth in nano-architected materials harnessing only the intrinsic plastic toughening mechanism. Exploring the effect of lattice topology on the fracture properties, we then demonstrate similar performance between the octet and 3D kagome architecture (along one direction). Based on the experimental and numerical results, a power-scaling law of normalized crack initiation toughness with relative density ρ ̄ (i.e., fraction of material per unit volume) KIC/σyL∝ρ ̄1.11, ρ ̄1.17−1.27 is exhibited by the octet and 3D kagome topology, respectively, given the yield strength σy and the unit cell size L. Owing to the combination of the parent material's size effect and plasticity (3D-printed photo-resist polymer), the fracture initiation toughness (considering σy=27MPa) of our octet nano-architected lattices is ∼ 8 times that of previously realized macroscopic octet titanium structures. After crack initiation, the two architectures manifest rising (in average ∼ 18%) fracture resistance curves (i.e., R-curves), without catastrophic failure. In addition, we find that the fracture toughness of architected lattices, measured by means of compact tension specimens, seems not to be dependent on the sample's thickness, forcing to re-think the plain strain toughness definition for this class of materials. Our results uncover the basic fracture characteristics of 3D architected materials exhibiting stable crack growth, providing insights for the design of light-weight, tough materials, with implications for future macro-scaled structural applications. © 2022 The Author(s
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
