Dataset for “The week that will be: communicating climate change and the impact of climate change via extreme weeks”
Get PDFThe data set contain localized current and future heat waves for use in thermal modelling of buildings across the UK. The weather data is in the format of EnergyPlus Weather (.epw) which was developed for building simulation programs. The building simulation weather file contains 8,760 hours of all the thermally related weather variables such as dry-bulb temperature, dewpoint temperature, relative humidity, atmospheric pressure, direct and diffuse solar radiation, wind direction and speed. The weather file contains an Example Extreme Week (EEW), i.e., weather data from an extremely hot seven-day contiguous period. The initial date of the EEW is mentioned in the comment line of the weather file. The weather files are available for current and future time slices: 1970s (1961 to 1990) and 2080s (2079 to 2099) with three return periods (10, 20 and 50 years) and one baseline period. Hence, there are six extreme weather files and one baseline weather file in each subfolder. These weather files are available at a 5 km grid resolution across the UK. In total, there are 11326 grid locations aggregated into three zip files: TYPE_J01 (3,775 grids), TYPE_J02 (3,775 grids), and TYPE_J03 (3,776 grids). The grid number, latitude, longitude and elevation for each of 11326 grid locations can be found in ‘GridID_Lat_Long_Elev.csv’.The Spatial Urban Weather Generator (SUWG) developed by Newcastle University was used to produce hourly weather data at a 5 km resolution across the UK for the control period (1970s: 1961 to 1990) and future period (2080s: 2079 to 2099) under medium emission scenario (SRES A1B). We ran the SUWG 100 times for each grid to obtain 100 sets of 30-year long data, i.e., 3,000 sample years per grid location. The heat waves with three return periods were extracted from the sample years. The sample year which contains the heat wave was selected for the creation of the EnergyPlus Weather file representing an Example Extreme Week (EEW). The EEWs are available for the 1970s and 2080s with three return periods: 10, 20 and 50 years for each 5 km grid location in the UK.The Spatial Urban Weather Generator was used to generate current and future weather data for 11326 grid locations across the UK. We used MATLAB installed on the Balena High Performance Computing system to process the 30 TB weather data generated for 11,326 grid locations and created the building simulation weather files in the format of EnergyPlus Weather.The EPW format is a plain text format that may be processed with EnergyPlus open source software (https://energyplus.net/). The format is documented in the Auxiliary Programs documentation accompanying the software
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
Get PDFWe 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
Future weather dataset for fourteen UK sites
No full textAbstractThis Future weather dataset is used for assessing the risk of overheating and thermal discomfort or heat stress in the free running buildings. The weather files are in the format of .epw which can be used in the building simulation packages such as EnergyPlus, DesignBuilder, IES, etc
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
