    Die Tagung "Schwingungen in rotierenden Maschinen", SIRM findet 2017 zum zwölften Mal statt und führt damit die Tradition dieser Veranstaltung als Diskussionsforum zwischen Industrie und Wissenschaft fort. Gegründet wurde die SIRM-Tagung im Jahre 1991 von Rainer Nordmann, Helmut Springer und Horst Irretier. Leider ist Herr Irretier im Februar 2016 verstoben. Wir bedauern den Verlust eines hoch geschätzten Kollegen, der die Rotordynamik und die SIRM-Tagung maßgeblich geprägt hat. Die Konferenz wurde mittlerweile mehrfach in Kassel, Darmstadt und Wien veranstaltet, war aber auch bereits in Kaiserslautern, Berlin und zuletzt in Magdeburg. Im Jahr 2017 kommt die Tagung nach Graz, Österreich. Sie wird gemeinsam von drei Instituten veranstaltet: dem Institut für Mechanik und Mechatronik (TU Wien), dem Institut für Thermische Turbomaschinen und Maschinendynamik (TU Graz) sowie dem Institut für Mechanik (TU Graz). Die Konferenz findet in den Räumen der Technischen Universität Graz am Campus "Neue Technik" statt, nur wenige Gehminuten vom Zentrum der Stadt entfernt. Die SIRM Konferenzserie wurde ursprünglich als Forum für den deutschsprachigen Raum ins Leben gerufen und die Konferenzsprache war daher Deutsch. Seit 2009 ist Englisch die zweite Konferenzsprache, um so auch Vortragende und Gäste aus nicht-deutschsprachigen Ländern bei der SIRM willkommen heißen zu können. So dürfen wir in diesem Jahr Gäste aus Belgien, Brasilien, Dänemark, Deutschland, Finnland, Frankreich, Großbritannien, Österreich, Polen, Russland, der Schweiz, der Slowakei, Tschechien und den USA begrüßen. Schwingungsprobleme in rotierenden Maschinen sind nach wie vor Gegenstand sehr interessanter Fragestellungen und Diskussionen für Wissenschaft und Praxis. Für die SIRM 2017 wurden nach einem Evaluierungsprozess 49 Beiträge zur Präsentation angenommen. Die behandelten Themen sind Gleitlagerdynamik, Torsionssysteme, Auswuchttechnik, Schaufelschwingungen, Modellbildungsprobleme, Stabilitätsanalyse, Aktive Dämpfung, Betriebsüberwachung von Maschinen und Identifikation, Wälzlagerungen sowie spezielle Probleme der Rotordynamik. Das Programm, Autorenregister und die Langfassungen der Beiträge können auf dem USB-Stick der Konferenz zu nachgelesen werden.The conference "Vibrations in rotating machines", SIRM 2017, is number twelve in the sequence. It continues to provide a forum for discussion between industry and academia. The SIRM conference series started in 1991, founded by Rainer Nordmann, Helmut Springer and Horst Irretier. Our Colleague Irretier died in Februar 2016. Wir mourn the loss of a highly regarded scientist who contributed to the field of rotor dynamics and the development of the SIRM conference series in several ways. Kassel, Darmstadt and Vienna hosted the conference multiple times, but venues were also in Kaiserslautern, Berlin and Magdeburg. In 2017, the conference takes place in Graz, Austria. Three institutes jointly organize it: The Institute of Mechanics and Mechatronics (Vienna University of Technology), the Institute of Thermal Turbomachinery and Machine Dynamics (Graz University of Technology) and the Institute of Mechanics (Graz University of Technology). The conference takes place at the Campus "Neue Technik" of Graz University of Technology, only a short hike from the city center. Originally, the SIRM conference series was established to provide a forum within the Germanspeaking community in rotor dynamics. Since 2009, English is the second official language at the conference, in order to attract international speakers and participants. This year we welcome guests from Belgium, Brazil, Czechia, Denmark, Finland France, Germany, Great Britain, Poland, Russia, Slovakia, Switzerland, and the United States. Vibration problems in rotating machinery are always subject of interesting investigations and discussions from both, a scientific and a practical point of view. After a peer-review of the submitted paper proposals, 49 contributions were accepted for presentation at the conference. The topics addressed in these papers cover fluid film bearings, torsional systems, balancing, blade vibrations, modelling, stability analysis, active damping, machine monitoring and identification, roller bearings and special problems in rotordynamics. The schedule, author´s register and the full papers are included on the conference´s USB flash drive

    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

    Variations on the Author

    “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

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    Full text link
    We 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 text
    We 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 text
    In 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.
