Towards more efficient tractors: Assessing and refining traction test procedures for agricultural tractors
No full textA reliable testing procedure is needed to benchmark different vehicle and tyre parameters. Several testing procedures within two main families – transient and steady states – were adopted to evaluate drawbar performance of tractors. The two procedural families were not hitherto compared using a full vehicle. This article aims to fill this gap. The transient and steady-state procedures were tested using a tractor rated of 230 kW sets in different configurations and equipped with sensors for evaluating the tractive parameters. In the transient procedure, the drawbar load was continuously increased to maintain a fixed ground speed. In the steady-state procedure, the drawbar load was gradually increased by reducing the ground speed. The maximum drawbar force generated by the tractor differed little between procedures, but a difference was observed in power delivery efficiency, mostly for the transmission’s influence during transient conditions leading to variable transmission efficiency. The results of the steady-state procedure for different vehicle configurations were more consistent with findings in the literature than those of the transient procedure. The steady-state procedure is better than the other but it requires more land and therefore it is less convenient when drawbar performances must be quickly evaluated for many vehicle and soil configurations
Variations on the Author
No full text“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

Also By The Same Author: AKTiveAuthor, a Citation Graph Approach to Name Disambiguation
No full textThe desire for definitive data and the semantic web drive for inference over heterogeneous data sources requires co-reference resolution to be performed on those data. In particular, name disambiguation is required to allow accurate publication lists, citation counts and impact measures to be determined. This paper describes a graph-based approach to author disambiguation on large-scale citation networks. Using self-citation, co-authorship and document source analyses, AKTiveAuthor clusters papers, achieving precision of 0.997 and recall of 0.818 over a test group of eight surname clusters
On the Traction Tests: How They Affect the Performances of Tractor Tyre Combination
No full textIn the last decades improving efficiency became the predominant theme of tractors and tyre manufacturers. Performed traction tests on the field are the most helpful instrument for evaluating vehicle performances under different load conditions that can rapidly replicate real tractor configuration and usage. This work performed two traction test procedures with a New Holland tractor with continuously variable transmission equipped with Michelin very-high flexion tyres and wheel force transducers. This tractor was connected to another used as a braking unit and tested with two traction test procedures denoted as transient and steady-state procedures. In the former, the braking unit was driven at a fixed velocity and the pulling tractor increased the wheel velocity, progressively increasing the drawbar force. Instead, in the second, the pulling tractor was driven at a fixed velocity and the braking unit reduced its velocity at different levels thus applying a discretely increasing drawbar force. The collected data were analysed to evaluate parameters related to traction capability and efficiencies, such as vehicle traction ratio, traction efficiency and power delivery efficiency. Procedures were compared in terms of reproducibility, variability, and repeatability. Both test methods have pros and cons, but the steady-state procedure provided better accuracy in the results, an easier way to impose and control different test parameters, and the best test-to-test repeatability. The results of this work help understand how data collected by traction tests performed with the latest generation tractors could be affected by the testing procedures
John F. Kennedy telegram to Roosevelt
No full textJersey Homesteads (later the Borough of Roosevelt) was established in the 1930s as an agro-industrial cooperative community. It was established specifically for urban Jewish garment workers, many of whom had emigrated from Europe. President John F. Kennedy sent a telegram to the citizens of Roosevelt, New Jersey, apologizing for not being able to attend the memorial dedication in honor of former President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. (Jersey Homesteads became Roosevelt in 1945 in honor of the president.) President Kennedy expressed his gratitude to the people of Roosevelt for constructing the memorial, and commented that it will serve as a constant reminder of Roosevelt's good works
