Two parallel computing methods for coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical problems
No full textTwo different approaches are presented for the parallel implementation of computer programs for the solution of coupled thermohydromechanical problems. One is an asynchronous method in connection with staggered and monolithic solution procedures. The second one is a domain decomposition method making use of substriictitring techniques and a Newton-Raphson procedure. The advantages of the proposed methods are illustrated by examples. Both methods are promising, but we actually have no comparison bet\veen the fivo because one works on a linear program with only t\vo interacting fields and the other on a full nonlinear set of (multield) equations. © 2000 Computer-Aided Civil and Infrastructure Engineering.

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
