Excited resonance widths for helmholtz resonators with straight neck
No full textWe consider resonances associated with excited eigenvalues of the cavity of a general Helmholtz resonator with straight neck. Under the assumption that the neck stays away from the nodal set of the corresponding eigenstate, we generalise the optimal exponential lower bound on the width of the resonance, that we have obtained in a previous paper for the ground resonance only
Implementation of hybrid additive manufacturing based on extrusion of feedstock and milling
Full text linkIn the current industry, fabrication of metallic and ceramic artifacts by means of feedstock extrusion additive manufacturing is receiving attention because of the capacity of this technology to deal with low costs and materials that possess a low Additive Manufacturability Index when treated with high power beam technologies. However, the extrusion additive manufacturing lacks in achievable accuracy and productivity therefore techniques that can improve the overall performances are required to increase the impact that this technology can have on industry. This paper demonstrates how extrusion additive technology of metals and ceramics can be enhanced by integrating green-state milling into the manufacturing cycle. In the hybrid cycle, the additive and subtractive processes act alternatively on the green-state part to shape its near-net form. This work shows how this innovative method, that integrates cutting and micro-cutting operations on the feedstock, allows compensating the lack of accuracy and micro reachability that characterize the extrusion-based additive manufacturing method. In the manuscript, the promising aspects of the hybrid concept are presented and discussed. Some examples of manufactured parts are illustrated showing how complex geometries, with good surface quality can be addressed with higher production flexibility. The developed hybrid machine prototype adopted for that scope is described along with the AISI316L parts that are obtained by depositing, green-state milling, debinding and sintering the feedstock. Another contribution is provided regarding the feedstock machinability that is studied under different cutting conditions. The feasibility of the hybrid implementation is confirmed and future steps to improve the process are discussed
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
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
