Self-powered online practical machine condition monitoring and wireless communication achieved on integrated, efficient, and durable triboelectric nanogenerator
No full textTriboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) can effectively scavenge ambient mechanical energy with cost, weight, and effectiveness advantages despite critical issues of TENG such as integration to complex components, low current output, and durability. In this work, we designed an adaptive TENG on a mechanical shaft for harvesting rotational energy which can easily assemble and disassemble. The proposed TENG presents an excellent performance for a wide range of rotational speeds (0–2000rpm) and delivers a high power of up to about 80mW (a high short circuit current of 3mA) for a size of 216 cm3, which is high enough for many types of machine condition monitoring purposes. The designed TENG has been evaluated under the noncontact mode of operation within a 0–0.5mm gap between TENG films. The TENG demonstrates excellent electrical stability of 99% without surface wear under noncontact mode within the whole test period for continuous operation of 420,000 cycles. The contact mode with a contact pressure of 0.76 Pa results in 90% electrical stability and apparent surface degradation. Moreover, it is demonstrated that the proposed TENG can power a wireless vibration sensor (60 mW) within 10 minutes energy harvesting for 9 seconds to send data via Bluetooth to a smartphone at up to 30 m, and a wireless temperature sensor (1.2 mW) in real-time for machine condition monitoring.Validerad;2024;Nivå 2;2024-03-18 (hanlid);Full text license: CC BY</p
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
Machine condition monitoring enabled by broad range vibration frequency detecting triboelectric nano-generator (TENG)-based vibration sensors
No full textVibration analysis is an efficient method to monitor machine condition status. Different types of vibration sensors, such as microelectromechanical, and piezoelectric accelerometers have been used to measure vibrations, but face the problems of relying on external power and high cost. Recently, triboelectric nano-generator (TENG)-based vibration sensors have attracted attention to solve these problems. However, previous studies on TENG-based mechanical vibration sensors are limited to a low-frequency range (less than 200 Hz), which is below industry machine condition monitoring requirements (often 10-1000 Hz). This work aims at enabling TENG-based vibration sensors for higher frequencies and a broad range of frequency detection through structural design supported by numerical simulations. Numerical simulation results indicate that the frequency detection range is controlled by structural design and can be easily expanded for high-frequency detection by reducing the size and improving the shape of the structure. Spring-assisted TENG-based vibration sensors with the possibility of detecting the vibration within 0-1200 Hz, which covers the major mechanical failures and imperfections in vibrational frequency ranges, are prepared according to the structural design and numerical simulation results. The experimental results show that the developed sensor successfully detects signals within the frequency range of 0-1200 Hz. Due to optimized structural symmetry and effective spring stiffness, the two spring-assisted (TS) structures generate higher electric signal output (up to 200 V and 0.9 µA). The prepared TENG vibration sensors are further compared with a high-quality commercial vibration sensor in terms of vibrational signal response and detecting bearing defects. The results show that the prepared TENG vibration sensors can provide at least the same function as the commercial vibration sensor and demonstrate a promising potential to detect machine working conditions.Validerad;2022;Nivå 2;2022-06-09 (hanlid)</p
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
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
