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
Preliminary aerothermal design of axial compressors
Full text linkThis dissertation documents a compressor preliminary design study conducted by the author
in fulfilment of his MSc thesis requirements. The compressor is intended for a new
development engine within the 20Klbf thrust category, planned to be used on a short-haul
aircraft, namely the ERJ-190.
A market research suggests that there exists a definite opportunity for a commercially
profitable engine within this thrust class. Furthermore, the proposed new engine is projected
to outperform current production engines on critical issues such as fuel efficiency and
operability.
By and large, the objectives of this work have been achieved and a compressor design and
layout is suggested, which matched or exceeded all the initial requirements. The quality of
the results from this study are thought to be of sufficient detail to allow a further, more
detailed development study to resolve some subtle pending issues. It is expected that, some
compressor stages may have to be altered slightly during detailed design to augment their
performance and ease of manufacture and assembly.
Throughout this study, the importance of the compressor design figure of merits, pertaining
to a short haul engine, has been outlined and their interaction on the design process is well
documented. Furthermore, some rather unorthodox objectives such as compressor
performance retention and reliability have been discussed. The author approached these
subjects in an innovative way due to the limited non-proprietary knowledge available on
these issues, especially considering their implications within preliminary design.
Furthermore, the author developed and tested a new preliminary turbomachinery design code,
named Turbodev, which can be used as an aid in future compressor design endeveours.
Turbodev can handle most types of compressor layouts and generates an overall aerodynamic
assessment of the turbomachinery performance.
In conclusion; this documentation and the associated literature review aim to provide the
reader with an overview of the work done and yield a better understanding of the decisions
that face any design bureau when developing a new or modified engine component.The research work disclosed in this publication is partially funded by the

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
