No full textAn analysis of the Prothero–Robinson example for constructing new DIRK and ROW methods
No full textIn this note the order reduction phenomenon of diagonally implicit Runge-Kutta methods (DIRK--methods) and Rosenbrock--Wanner methods (ROW--methods) applied on the Prothero-Robinson example is analysed. New order conditions to avoid order reduction are derived and a new second order DIRK and ROW--method is created. The new schemes are applied on the Prothero--Robinson example and on the semi-discretised
incompressible Navier--Stokes equations. Numerical examples show that the
new methods converge with second order for velocity and pressure
A Survey of Interface Goodness Measures Jerry Prothero Human Interface Technology Laboratory [email protected] March 16, 1994
No full textThe development of interface design as an engineering discipline has been hampered by the absence of general, robust, and quantitative measures for the usefulness of interfaces. In the absence of such measures, it difficult to optimize an interface for a particular task, and to make precise statements about the relative advantages of different types of designs. This article briefly surveys the literature on interface goodness measures. 1 Introduction A chronic problem in the field of interface design is difficulty in measuring how well an interface performs. In the absence of such measures, the development of good interfaces tends to be an art, with little assurance when one is done that the final product is the best possible interface for the given task. The evolution of interface design from an art to engineering would seem to depend on the improvement of the measures used to test interfaces. This is important not only for the testing of individual interfaces, but also for the devel..
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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

Floating offshore wind turbine mooring line sections health status nowcasting: From supervised shallow to weakly supervised deep learning
No full textThe global installed capacity of floating offshore wind turbines is projected to increase by at least 100 times over the next decades. Station-keeping of floating offshore renewable energy devices is achieved through the use of mooring systems. Mooring systems are exposed to a variety of environmental and operational conditions that cause corrosion, abrasion, and fatigue. Regular physical in-service inspections of mooring systems are the golden standard for monitoring their health status. This approach is often expensive, inefficient, and unsafe, and for this reason, researchers are focusing on developing tools for digital solutions for real-time monitoring. Floating offshore renewable energy devices are usually equipped with a wide range of sensors, some low-cost, low/zero maintenance, and easily deployable (e.g., accelerometers on the tower), contrary to others (e.g., direct tension mooring line measurements), producing real-time data streams. In this paper, we propose exploiting the data coming from the first type of sensors for mooring systems health status nowcasting. In particular, we will first rely on state-of-the-art supervised shallow and deep learning models for predicting the health status of the different sections of the mooring lines. Then, since these supervised models require types and amount of data that are seldom available, we will propose new shallow and deep weekly supervised models that require a very small amount of data regarding worn mooring lines. Results will show that these last models can potentially have practical applicability and impact for real-time monitoring of mooring systems in the near future. In order to support our statements, we will make use of data generated with a state-of-the-art digital twin of the mooring system, OrcaFlex, for a floating offshore wind turbine reproducing the physical mechanism of the mooring degradation under different loads and environmental conditions. Results will show errors around 1% in the simplest scenario and errors around 4% in the most challenging one, confirming the potentiality of the proposed approaches
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
