No full textAutonomous Lunar rendezvous trajectory planning and control using nonlinear MPC and Pontryagin's principle
No full textThis paper explores the application of Nonlinear Model Predictive Control (NMPC) techniques, based on the Pontryagin Minimum Principle, for a minimum-propellant autonomous rendezvous maneuver in non-Keplerian Lunar orbits. The relative motion between the chaser and the target is described by the nonlinear dynamics of the circular restricted three body-problem, posing unique challenges due to the complex and unstable dynamics of near-rectilinear halo orbits. Key aspects of the proposed NMPC include trajectory optimization, maneuver planning, and real-time control, leveraging on its ability to satisfy complex mission requirements while ensuring safe and efficient spacecraft operations and in the presence of input and nonlinear/non-convex state constraints. The proposed formulation allows the design of a minimum-propellant controller, whose optimal control signal results to be bang–bang in time. A case study based on the Artemis III mission – where the docking of the Orion spacecraft to the Gateway station is planned – is illustrated in order to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed approach, showcasing its potential for enhancing target tracking accuracy, while reducing propellant consumption

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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 linkWe 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
