Evaluierung KHAN-I und wings4Innovation (W4I) als forschungspolitische Maßnahme
Full text linkDieser Bericht bildet den Abschlussbericht der Evaluierung der forschungspolitischen Maßnahme KHAN-I und wings4innovation (W4I). Im Jahr 2019 beauftragten das
Bundesministerium für Arbeit und Wirtschaft (BMAW) sowie der Österreichfonds die Austria Wirtschaftsservice GmbH (aws) mit der Beteiligung am KHAN-I Fonds. Dieser Fonds konzentriert sich auf die Finanzierung translationaler Forschung im Bereich der Life Sciences. Mit den Mitteln
des Fonds wurde in Österreich die Tochtergesellschaft W4I gegründet, um Projekte lokal zu akquirieren und weiterzuentwickeln. Ziel des Fonds ist es, mit Hilfe eines Translational Research Centers (TRC) eine Lücke in der Wertschöpfungskette zwischen Grundlagenforschung und der
wirtschaftlichen Umsetzung in der Arzneimittelentwicklung zu schließen. Nach Abschluss der Investitionsphase im Jahr 2024 sollte die Maßnahme extern evaluiert werden. Die Technopolis Group wurde mit der externen Evaluierung des KHAN-I Fonds beauftragt, wobei der Schwerpunkt auf den österreichischen Aktivitäten von W4I lag. Ziel der
Evaluierung ist es, die Zielerreichung, strategische Relevanz und Wirkung des Fonds zu analysieren und Handlungsempfehlungen für die zukünftige Ausgestaltung der Maßnahme abzuleiten
Energieffektivisering av BRF Djingis Khan i Lund
Full text linkExamensarbetet redogör för hur BRF Djingis Khan i Lund kan effektivisera sin energianvändning. Bostädernas konstruktion och hushållens energibeteende studeras i syfte att ställa upp en korrekt energibalans, mellan tillförd och bortförd energi. Delar som är ineffektiva ur ett energiperspektiv identifieras och åtgärdsförslag tas fram
Collision-free allocation of temporally constrained tasks in multi-robot systems
No full textMulti-robot systems (mRs) are a reference solution for many prominent real-world applications, e.g. management of warehouses or exploration of unknown environments. One of the most fundamental computational problems in MRS is that of planning the assignment of tasks to robots when such tasks have deadlines, i.e. constraints on when the execution must take place.The problem, when multiple objective functions of interest need to be optimized, is both NP-Hard and hard to approximate, and few heuristics are known in the literature to handle it. Unfortunately, none of them guarantees that the trajectories used by the robots when moving between tasks' locations are collision-free at planning time. Rather, they implement a reactive behavior, i.e. they abort the execution of a planned task whenever something goes wrong, e.g. trajectories of robots intersect or a deadline is missed due to some obstacle. This approach induces negative effects on the global performance of the system in the form of waste of energy, due to high distances traveled by the fleet members, or in the form of high convergence time to execute tasks. Therefore, planning the assignments of temporally constrained tasks with the guarantee of avoiding collisions can be a desirable feature for multi-robot systems.In this paper, we present CFAT-D (Collision-Free Allocation of Tasks having Deadlines), a new algorithm that can allocate temporally constrained tasks while guaranteeing that used trajectories are collision-free at planning time. We prove CFAT-D to be correct and showcase its effectiveness through an extensive experimental evaluation. Finally, we provide a roadmap toward the practical implementation of the new strategy in real-world environments. (C) 2019 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved
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
