Measurement data for: Development of a Cable Actuator Test Rig for Identification of Dynamic Running Properties of Synthetic Fiber Ropes
No full textMeasurement data and analysis scripts to investigate slip and friction effects of running synthetic fiber ropes.
All measurements data is provided in the folder "Data" in form of csv files. Additionally, the motion profile is stored as nc file. The data is structured according to the directory names; "WF" stands for applied cable forces and "F" for the feed rate. Each single csv file consists of a single measurement with a constant target cable force and velocity.
Analysis scripts in Matlab can be found in the folder "Processing". To reproduce the analysis, start with "main.m".
Settings of the linear measuring sensors ASCOspeed and LSV-2100 can be found in the "Settings" folder.</p
Replication Data for: Experimental Investigation on Adaptive Preload Control for Cable-Driven Parallel Robots
No full textMeasurement data and analysis scripts to investigate a novel adaptive preload control (APC) for cable-driven parallel robots. The measurement data is provided as csv files and consists of data from two devices: the robot control system and the coordinate measuring system (laser tracker). The data from the robot control system is stored in the "experiments/robot" directory. The laser tracker data is stored in "experiments/tracker". Additionally, the motion profiles are stored as nc file in the directory "experiments". The robot-specific parameters are stored in COPacabana.xml. To analyze and plot the data, the "main.py" script must be executed using python and the installed packages in "requirements.txt". Additionally, the WiPy.pyd package must be imported
Replication Data for: Adaptive Preload Control of Cable-Driven Parallel Robots for Handling Task
No full textMeasurement data and analysis scripts to investigate a novel adaptive preload control (APC) for cable-driven parallel robots.
The measurement data is provided as csv files and consists of two sets:"experiment_std.csv" is the measurement data for the performed motion in STD operation and "experiment_apc.csv" is the data of the APC method.
Additionally, the motion profiles are stored as nc file.
The robot-specific parameters are stored in COPacabana.xml.
To analyze and plot the data, the "main.py" script must be executed using python and the installed packages in "requirements.txt". Additionally, the WiPy.pyd package must be imported.<p
Replication Data for: A Predictor-Corrector-Scheme for the Geometry Planning for In-Operation-Reconfiguration of Cable-Driven Parallel Robots
No full textMeasurement data to reproduce the absolute and repeatability precision before and after the reconfiguration process.
The dataset contains the folder with the data in reference configuration ( /predictor_corrector_scheme_data/reference_config/) and the data in the reconfigured configuration (/predictor_corrector_scheme_data/referencer_config/). For all measurements, the absolute position of the platform was measured by a Faro Vantage E6 laser tracker.
The txt-files contain seven columns, whereas the first three columns contain the absolute coordinates, measured in the laser tracker's coordinate system. The first column contains the x-coordinate, second column the y-coordinate and third column the z-coordinate, respectively.
The other four columns are not of interest.
Additionally, before the precision can be assessed, the coordinates have to be transformed to the robot's coordinate system and the offset between the laser tracker target and the center of the platform's coordinate system has to be compensated. For this purpose, the difference between the laser tracker and the robot's coordinate system is given in "coordinate_origin.txt" and the orientation difference in terms of the rotation matrix in "rotation_matrix.txt" as well as the laser tracker target offset, which has to be added to the measured values, in "target_offset.txt".
The calculation of the precision was performed according to ISO 9283, which is also mentioned in the corresponding paper
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
