    Experiments were carried out to determine the performance of a direct expansion solar assisted heat pump water heater (DX-SAHPWH) which mainly consists of an evaporator panel with a surface area of ​​0.23 m2, a rotary compressor with an input power of 122.5 W, an insulated water tank that has been wrapped around a condenser with a diameter of 0.024 m and a length of 15 m and a capillary tube with a diameter of 0.001 m and a length of 1.61 m. Tests were carried out in open spaces, enclosed spaces and air-conditioned rooms exposed to direct sunlight. The results of this test are that the highest coefficient of performance (COP) on the DX-SAHPWH system is obtained at 1,25 and the smallest COP is obtained at 0.60. The higher intensity of solar radiation has a positive effect on the performance of the DX-SAHPWH system, which results in the heat transfer rate at water (Q wm) increases, the time required for heating is faster, and the COP of the DX-SAHPWH system increases

    The air conditioning machine commonly used is air conditioning system with a vapor compression cycle. The use of air conditioning machines consumes more electrical energy than other household appliances. In this study, the addition of the water mist method in evaporative cooling system with variations of distance of 20 cm, 40 cm, 60 cm so that the energy consumption of split type AC (Air Conditioning) of machines is more efficient. The results showed that the pressure of the condenser using water mist was lower 48 Psig than the pressure of condenser with a cooling load of 2000 W, and lower by 34 Psig of the pressure of condenser without the cooling load. Meanwhile the temperature of the air entering the condenser (Tout) after using a water mist has lower temperature than without the water mist, therefore it can save electricity consumption in the compressor. The temperature of the lowest inlet air of the condenser reached at the use of water mist with a distance variation of 60 cm was 28 ℃. And the relative humidity (RH)  relatively decrease at the exit  of the condenser using water mist with distance variation of 60 cm length was 59.6%. The compressor power decreased lower using a 60 cm distance water mist of 0.52 kW compared to without using a water mist with a 2000 W load of 0.56 kW. So that COP using water mist higher about 5.24 than without a water mist of 4.72. The highest COP was obtained using water mist at a distance of 60 cm</p

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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 link
    We 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 link
    We 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

    We 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
