Measurement of partial discharges and dielectric losses on rotating machines using damped AC voltages
No full textLarge rotating machines in all kinds of applications ages due to operating stresses. Since many years the condition of stator insulation in these motors and generators is investigated using measurement of partial discharge (PD) and dielectric loss factor (tan delta). In particular, off-line and on-line methods of applying PD detection have become common practice. The off-line PD detection technique is based on applying to single phases of the stator insulation an external 50(60) Hz power supply and detecting the partial discharges which inevitably occur in stator insulation. Based on the PD behaviour, the presence and type of discharging defects in the insulation, like slot discharges and end-winding discharges can be identified and evaluated for insulation condition assessment purposes. In contrast to on-line detection, with regard to interpretation rules for off-line PD detection there exist a large amount of experience. Off-line energiz-ing of the stator insulation can also be performed using Damped AC voltages 50-500 Hz (DAC), which has the advantage the test equipment is more mobile than AC test sets. This study describes the measurement technique of off-line PD and dielectric loss detection on stator insulation using damped AC. A test procedure for DAC is proposed based on the applicable AC standards, and results of DAC PD and dielectric loss measurement are presented. Based on laboratory investigation on a full scale stator insulation system as well as during field inspections on large motors, a comparison has been made of dielectric loss behaviour and PD behaviour – like tan delta levels, PD levels and phase resolved PD patterns – at 50 Hz AC stresses and at oscillating voltages. The usefulness of PD detection at oscillating voltage waves, and the usage of AC interpretation rules, has been discussed.High Voltage Technology and Management groupElectrical Sustainable EnergyElectrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Scienc
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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe 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 textWe 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
