International design competition for the redevelopment of St. Amandus Church into a library and liturgical space in Strombeek-Bever (Belgium)
No full textPiù che un progetto tradizionalmente concepito, la proposta delinea un processo di ricerca sotto forma di riflessione progettuale.
Tale processo inizia con una domanda chiave: come possiamo progettare, in occasione della trasformazione di una chiesa in una biblioteca pubblica, uno spazio che sia accogliente per tutti, ma che allo stesso tempo si inserisca nella storia materiale della città e dei suoi monumenti?
Attraverso la ricerca connessa all’idea di “design by research”, il progetto ha cercato di capire quali funzioni dovessero essere collocate all'esterno della chiesa (neutrali) e quali all'interno (non neutrali). Questo principio si è a sua volta sovrapposto a una questione tecnica fondamentale: quali stanze dovrebbero essere regolarmente riscaldate e quali no?
La biblioteca fornisce una nuova facciata urbana alla piazza. Non vuole essere una semplice estensione della chiesa, ma una nuova interfaccia con lo spazio pubblico
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
The influence of intermediate compounds on the solidification behaviour of heavy constituents in hyperbaric reservoir model fluids
No full textDuring recent years numerous discoveries of oil and gas accumulations at unusual high reservoir depth have been made. As a result of this unusual depth these reservoirs show some features different from most oil and gas fields. The so-called hyperbaric reservoirs might exhibit pressures over 100 MPa, reservoir temperatures up to 470 K, and a particular composition. Apart from high methane concentrations (mole fraction> 0.60), the hyperbaric reservoir fluids also contain a significant amount of heavy hydrocarbons. During production precipitation of the solid heavy hydrocarbons (wax formation) can occur due to either decreasing temperatures or pressures. Hyperbaric reservoir fluids are complex multicomponent mixtures. However, many features of the phase behaviour of these fluids can be studied by investigating the phase behaviour of simple asymmetric model fluids. In this work experimental vapour-liquid and solid-fluid phase equilibrium data of the ternary systems (methane+ n-docosane + n-tetracosane) and (methane+ propane+ ntetracosane) are presented at pressures up to 200 MPa. These phase equilibria have been measured for 20 different mixtures of the ternary system (methane+ n-docosane + ntetracosane) and for 6 different mixtures of the ternary system (methane+ propane+ ntetracosane). The experiments were carried out with a high pressure autoclave with sapphire windows. Phase equilibrium data were collected according to the synthetic method. Additionally, D.S.C. measurements were performed on the binary system (n-docosane + ntetracosane) at atmospheric pressure. The main focus of this work is centered on the thermodynamical description of the solid-fluid phase equilibria in solutions of n-docosane and n-tetracosane in methane at high pressure. The phase behaviour of this ternary system is very interesting. The results show that the solid phase, which is formed at high pressures, exhibits different mixed crystal structures. The D.S.C. measurements of the binary system (n-docosane + n-tetracosane) at atmospheric pressure also show regions of mixed crystals. In general, a fairly good description of the solidfluid phase equilibria of the ternary system is obtained. Further, the influence of propane on the phase behaviour of the binary model fluid (methane+ n-tetracosane) is shown. With an increasing amount of propane both the solidfluid and the vapour-liquid phase equilibria curves shift towards lower temperatures and pressures. The experimental results were modelled with the Peng-Robinson equation of state with one binary interaction parameter.Applied SciencesChemical Engineering and Materials ScienceApplied Thermodynamics and Phase Equilibri
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
