    Convective heat transfer under an influence of thermal radiation in a rotating chamber has been investigated numerically. The cavity has periodically heat-generating source, cooling vertical walls and heat-conducting bottom wall. Governing equations have been formulated using stream function, vorticity and temperature. The considered set of control equations has been worked out employing the finite difference procedures. Streamlines and isotherms for different angles of rotation have been shown and described in detail. The effects of emissivity, angular velocity and bottom wall thickness have been illustrated using the flow rate, average heater temperature, mean convective and radiative Nusselt numbers. The results demonstrate that lower wall thickness can significantly reduce the mean heater temperature

    The production of a various engineering systems is accompanied by studies of liquid flow structures and thermal energy patterns. Many engineering systems in electronics and energy are affected by rotation and an important task becomes the description of physical phenomena under rotational effects. This investigation is dedicated to convective-radiative thermal and mass transport inside a rotating cube having a flat heated element placed on the bottom surface. The rotation of the cube around each of the axes of Cartesian coordinates has been considered. Governing equations based on mass, momentum and energy conservation laws are written employing the non-primitive variables. The set of control equations is resolved by the finite difference schemes. The influences of angular velocity, rotation axis orientation, and emissivity of surfaces on the intensity of heat transfer have been shown. Temperature patterns for various rotation angles are presented and described in detail. The results demonstrate that rotation around the vertical axis shows a steady-state of the Nusselt numbers, while rotation around the horizontal axis shows the periodic changes. It is interesting that similar heat exchange modes are formed during rotation around horizontal axes. More intensive convective and radiative heat exchange is observed in the case of rotation around an axis at which the cooling walls change their position

    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

    Full text link
    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

    No full text
    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
