    MACLA-LSTM: A Novel Approach for Forecasting Water Demand

    No full text
    Sustainable and effective management of urban water supply is a key challenge for the well-being and security of current society. Urban water supply systems have to deal with a huge amount of data, and it is difficult to develop efficient intervention mechanisms by relying on the human experience. Deep learning methods make it possible to predict water demand in real-time; however, deep learning methods have a large number of hyperparameters, and the selection of hyperparameters can easily affect the accuracy of prediction. Within this context, a novel framework of short-term water demand forecast is proposed, in which a forecasting method clouded leopard algorithm based on multiple adaptive mechanisms—long short-term memory networks (MACLA-LSTM)—is developed to improve the accuracy of water demand predictions. Specifically, LSTM networks are used to predict water demand and the MACLA is utilized to optimize the input parameters of the LSTM. The MACLA-LSTM model is evaluated on a real dataset sampled from water distribution systems. In comparison with other methods, the MACLA-LSTM achieved MAE values of 1.12, 0.89, and 1.09; MSE values of 2.22, 1.21, and 2.38; and R2 values of 99.51%, 99.44%, and 99.01%. The results show the potential of the MACLA-LSTM model for water demand forecasting tasks and also demonstrate the positive effect of the MACLA on forecasting tasks by comparing results with LSTM variant models. The proposed MACLA-LSTM can provide a resilient, sustainable, and low-cost management strategy for water supply systems

    Sentidos provisorios reúne un conjunto de artistas contemporáneos de la ciudad de La Plata que a través de sus producciones se ponen en diálogo con una selección de obras de la colección del MACLA. En el marco de la reapertura de las salas es relevante fomentar la vinculación entre las producciones actuales y las obras del acervo; generar diálogos, nuevos puntos de contacto que nos permitan continuar reinterpretando el patrimonio del museo. Obras patrimoniales de los artistas Tomasello, Camporeale, Alzugaray, Larsen y Rollié interactúan junto a los trabajos de Carranza, Caregnato, Coll Cardenas, Lamas , Salgado y Zuliani. Proponemos una mirada renovada, siempre provisoria, que nos invite a abrir el juego a un sinfín de sentidos.

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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

    We 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
