Full text linkThis paper presents the results of an experimental analysis which compares in terms of energetic performances the refrigeration capacity control obtained by means of a variable-speed compressor with the on/off control deriving from a classical thermostatic device. The compressor considered is semi-hermetic reciprocating and is a component of a vapour compression refrigeration plant subjected to a commercially available cold store. The compressor working with the fluids R22, R507 and R407C and designed for a revolution speed corresponding to the compressor supply current nominal frequency of 50 Hz, has been tested varying the frequency in the range 30–50 Hz. In this range, the most suitable working fluids proposed
as substitutes of the R22 as the R407C (R32/R125/R134a 23/25/52% in mass), the R507 (R125/R143A 50/
50% in mass) and the R417A (R125/R134a/R600 46.6/50/3.4% in mass) have been tested. The results show that, using the R407C, it is possible an average an electric energy consumption about 12% smaller when an inverter is employed to control the compressor refrigeration capacity instead of the thermostatic control which imposes on/off cycles on the compressor, working at the nominal frequency of 50 Hz. So the R407C confirms its superiority in comparison with the R417A and R507; only the R22 shows a better performance

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
