    The scientific article reveals the role of monitoring energy consumption by residential real estate objects throughout the life cycle, which is an integral part of increasing energy efficiency. An analysis of the existing methodology for assessing the energy efficiency of real estate construction has been conducted. Promising concepts of methods for assessing indicators and criteria for the energy needs of buildings while ensuring comfortable conditions for people to stay in them have been investigated. Studies indicate that the use of a system for continuous monitoring of energy consumption indicators according to energy efficiency criteria provides significant resource savings with a reduction in maintenance costs and operating costs. The prospects for implementing monitoring of energy efficiency indicators are substantiated. The feasibility of an integrated approach to monitoring indicators and criteria for assessing energy consumption, including all stages of the life cycle of buildings and structures, has been proven. The methodology proposed by the author of the article can be applied by an individual energy manager and energy management departments of municipal enterprises, managers of multi-apartment residential buildings. Considerable attention in energy management work is paid to the collection and analysis of data on the consumption of fuel and energy resources in buildings and structures of the municipal and budgetary sphere, including dormitories of educational institutions of various degrees of accreditation. At the same time, investors and managers of residential buildings have the opportunity to ensure: correct operation of equipment; creation of an archive of energy consumption data; identification of methods and means for the greatest increase in energy efficiency potential. The article discloses the use of the "ET-diagram" and "ET-curve" as basic components of monitoring indicators and criteria for assessing energy consumption by residential buildings. Weekly energy monitoring is recommended for timely detection of unforeseen PER costs and elimination of possible malfunctions. The application of the methodology presented in the article is appropriate for both individual residential buildings and complexes of buildings, blocks, neighborhoods and cottage towns with a centralized PER supply system. Based on the research results, the main principles of monitoring energy consumption indicators have been determined, which contribute to increasing the financial and economic indicators of facilities. The proposed approach to organizing monitoring indicators and criteria for assessing energy consumption by residential buildings allows for a thorough analysis of resource consumption and forecasting the volumes of their use for the future, including the use of BIM technologies.Наукова стаття розкриває роль моніторингу споживання енергії обʼєктами житлової нерухомості протягом життєвого циклу, що є невідʼємною складовою підвищення енергетичної ефективності. Проведено аналіз існуючої методики оцінки енергетичної ефективності спорудження об’єктів нерухомості. Досліджено перспективні концепції методів оцінки показників та критеріїв енергетичних потреб будівель при забезпеченні комфортних умов перебування в них людей. Дослідження вказують, що застосування системи постійного моніторингу показників енергоспоживання за критеріями енергоефективності дає значну економію ресурсів зі зменшенням вартості утримання та експлуатаційних витрат. Обґрунтовані перспективи впровадження моніторингу показників енергоефективності. Доведено доцільність інтегрального підходу до моніторингу показників та критеріїв оцінки енергоспоживання, включаючи всі етапи життєвого циклу будівель і споруд. Методика, запропонована автором статті може бути застосована окремим енергоменеджером та відділами енергетичного менеджменту комунальних підприємств, управителями багатоквартирних житлових будинків. Значна увага роботи енергоменеджменту приділяється збору та аналізу даних про споживання паливно енергетичних ресурсів в будівлях та спорудах комунальної та бюджетної сфери, включаючи гуртожитки закладів освіти різних ступенів акредитації. При цьому інвестори та управителі житлових будинків мають можливість забезпечити: коректну роботу обладнання; створення архіву даних енергоспоживання; виявлення методів і засобів для найбільшого підвищення енергоефективного потенціалу. В статті розкрито використання «ЕТ-діаграми» та «ЕТ-кривої» як базових складових моніторингу показників та критеріїв оцінки споживання енергії житловими будинками. Рекомендовано проведення щотижневого енергомоніторингу для своєчасного виявлення непередбачуваних витрат ПЕР та усунення можливих несправностей. Застосування методики, приведеної в статті, є доцільним як для окремих житлових будинків так і комплексів будівель, кварталів, мікрорайонів та котеджних містечок з централізованою системою подачі ПЕР. На основі результатів досліджень визначені основні принципи моніторингу показників споживання енергії, які сприяють підвищенню фінансово-економічних показників обʼєктів. Запропонований підхід організації моніторингу показників та критеріїв оцінки споживання енергії житловими будинками дозволяє ретельно аналізувати споживання ресурсів та прогнозувати обʼєми їх використання на перспективу, включаючи застосування ВІМ-технологій

    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

    Full text link
    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

    Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902

    No full text
    In Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
