    V diplomskem delu sem obravnaval sanacijo vodooskrbnega sistema za naselje Tihaboj, kjer sem projektiral oskrbovalni vod od vodohrana Gabrovka do vodohrana Tihaboj, pri čemer sem za načrtovanje upošteval vse veljavne predpise. V uvodnem delu naloge sem na kratko opisal pomen vodovoda nekoč in danes ter razmišljanje in človekovo brezbrižnost do vode. V teoretičnem delu sem podal osnovne enačbe za projektiranje in potek izvedbenih del, ki sem jih opravljal na objektih in elementih vodovodnega omrežja. V nadaljevanju sem podrobneje opisal problematiko, zaradi katere je potrebna rekonstrukcija vodovodnega omrežja. Predstavil sem situacijo, na kateri bo potekala rešitev. Končni cilj diplomske naloge je bil izbrati najugodnejšo rešitev za sanacijo vodooskrbnega omrežja Tihaboj, predlagano rešitev sprojektirati po veljavnih pravilnikih in preveriti ekonomski vidik. Predpostavke so temeljile na variantnih rešitvah zagotavljanja ustrezne količine vode za požarno varnost, saj le-ta pri manjših vodohranih predstavlja večino dimenzioniranega volumna. Izbrana rešitev je bila, da se obstoječa zajetja za naselje Tihaboj ukine in se sprojektira nov oskrbovalni vod iz obstoječega vodohrana Gabrovka v novo grajeni vodohran Tihaboj. Po računskih preizkusih pri dimenzioniranju so rezultati pokazali, da premer cevi znatno vpliva na ceno izvedbe oz. na ceno produktov, ki so potrebni za izgradnjo oskrbovalnega voda.In the diploma thesis, I have studied restoration of the water supply system of the Tihaboj settlement, where I designed a water supply system from the Gabrovka reservoir to the Tihaboj reservoir, whereby I considered all applicable regulations designing. In the introduction I briefly described the importance of the water supply system in the past and today, as well as the reflection and indifference of man to water. In the theoretical part, I gave the basic equations for the designing and the course of building of the structures and elements of the water supply network. Introduction is followed by detailed description of issues that require the reconstruction of the water supply network. I have presented the situation at which the solution will be based. The final goal of the thesis was to select the most optimal solution for the restoration of the water supply network Tihaboj and to implement the proposed solution according to the valid regulations and to check the economic aspect. The assumptions were based on variant solutions to ensure adequate quantity of water for fire safety, since this is the majority of the dimensioned volume in smaller water reservoirs. The chosen solution was to put out of use the existing reservoirs of Tihaboj and to construct a new supply system from the existing Gabrovka reservoir to the newly built water reservoir Tihaboj. According to the performed calculations, the results showed that the diameter of the pipe significantly influenced on the price of building of the system and products necessary for the construction of a water supply line

    Magistrsko delo obravnava idejno zasnovo vodovodnega omrežja za naselja Brezovica pri Borovnici, Niževec, Zabočevo, Dražica in Ohonica. Za potrebe naloge je bil urejen horizontalni in vertikalni potek trase vodovodnega omrežja s pomočjo programske opreme Sewer+ ter obdelani in pripravljeni vhodni podatki za zagon hidravličnega modela s programom Epanet. Hidravlični model je bil ustrezno uravnan z vidika vzdrževanja, optimalnega delovanja in ekonomičnosti, pri čemer so bili upoštevani vsi veljavni predpisi. Zasnova se deli na dva dela, pri čemer so bile v teoretičnem delu prikazane osnovne enačbe za dimenzioniranje elementov vodovodnega sistema, v praktičnem delu pa je bila predstavljena problematika, ki ji sledi še analiza rezultatov hidravličnega modela in opisana izvedba vodovodnega omrežja z vsemi potrebnimi elementi, ki so podprti z grafičnimi prilogami. Dimenzioniran je bil vodohran, črpališče z vodnjaško črpalko, tlačni cevovod za napajanje vodohrana z upoštevanjem vodnega udara, gravitacijski razdelilni cevovod z umeščenimi jaški za redukcijo tlaka in hidrofor za dvig tlaka v omrežju za manjši odsek. Za konec je bila narejena stroškovna analiza, ki je podala grobo oceno investicije.This master’s dissertation discusses a conceptual solution for the water supply system in the villages of Brezovica pri Borovnici, Niževec, Zabočevo, Dražica, and Ohonica. For the purpose of this thesis, the horizontal and vertical course of water supply alignment were edited in Sewer+ software. Additionally, for the activation of the hydraulic model, entry data were processed and prepared with Epanet software. Hydraulic model was suitably adjusted in the aspect of maintenance, optimal activity, and economical efficiency, at which all valid regulations were taken into consideration. The outline of master’s dissertation consists of a theoretical and practical part. First, the elementary equations for designs of elements for the water supply system are introduced. In the second, practical part, the discussion of the thesis is presented, followed by the analysis of hydraulic model results and description of a corresponding water supply system, supported with graphical appendices. In addition, the analysis is supported with the designs of water reservoir, a pumping station with the well water supply, pressure pipeline system for the water supply of water reservoir, including the water hammer, pipeline gravitational manifolds with placed-in manhole for pressure reduction, and a hydrophore for pressure raise in the system of a smaller section. In conclusion, a rough approximation of investment is presented with the analysis of cost calculations

    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

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    We 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

    koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist

    We 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
