Nonlinear Analytical Computation of the Magnetic Field in Reluctance Synchronous Machines
No full textThis paper deals with an analytical model of reluctance synchronous motor, able to consider both stator slotting effect and magnetic saturation in the stator and rotor iron paths. It joints the field distribution at the air gap to a lumped-parameter magnetic network. Local saturation factors are defined so as to adjust the flux-density distribution. The analytical approach exhibits great potentiality, since it is a formulation based on an harmonic study, and it is easily adaptable to any motor geometries. As an example, 36-slot 4-pole machine is analyzed, considering three flux barriers per pole. Finite element analysis confirms the results achieved by means of the analytical model
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
EastMed - Report of the EastMed Working Group Meeting on round sardinella
No full textThe EastMed Working Group on round sardinella met in Bari, Italy, from 1 to 5
July 2019 and was attended by experts from Egypt, Lebanon, Palestine, Syria,
Turkey, Cyprus and Italy. The working group main objectives were to take stock
and progress with the work being carried to understand the population structure of
round sardinella in the Eastern Mediterranean (FISHBONE project) and to define
ageing criterion and aging scheme for the species. In view of the upcoming
benchmark assessment of the species, the working group also discussed possible
sources of bias in the available data for a reliable stock assessment of S. aurita. A
section of the meeting was also dedicated to the presentation of the EU-funded
project MED_UNITs which aims to contribute to the definition of stock
boundaries of priority species across the Mediterranean. The working group
discussed the potential collaboration and optimization of protocols between the
FISHBONE and MED_UNITs projects
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
Tolerance to barley yellow dwarf viruses in two pairs of sister oat lines
No full textThe titers of barley yellow dwarf viruses (BYDV-PAV-IL and BYDV-RPV-IL) in two pairs of sister oat lines tolerant and susceptible to BYDV-PAV were measured by double antibody sandwish enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (DAS-ELISA) and by purification. There were consistent relationships between expression of symptoms and virus titers in tolerant and susceptible pairs of oat lines when inoculated in the greenhouse with PAV-IL or RPV-IL. In case of PAV-IL, the virus infects and accumulates to similar levels in shoot and root tissues of these lines. RPV-IL titers were higher in the susceptible line than in tolerant lines.Translocation of barley yellow dwarf viruses (BYDV-PAV-IL and BYDV-RPV-NY) in those two pairs of sister oat lines was measured by trible antibody sandwish enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (TAS-ELISA) and by dot blot hybridization. PAV-IL virus and PAV-IL-RNA titers in shoots and roots of tolerant lines were equivalent to or higher than the titers in susceptible oat lines. Thus, there was no inhibition of PAV-IL replication or movement in tolerant lines. Titers of RPV-NY virus and RNA in shoots of tolerant lines also were equivalent to or higher than the titers in shoots of susceptible oat lines. However, titers of RPV-NY virus and RNA in roots of susceptible oat lines were higher than the titer in tolerant oat lines on middle and late sampling dates. There apparently is some restriction on RPV-NY movement to and/or replication within the roots of these tolerant lines.Made available in DSpace on 2011-05-07T12:47:16Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 2

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
