Ressourceneffizienzpotenziale durch Technologien, Produkte und Strategien
No full textAus dem Arbeitspaket 1 (AP1) des Projekts "Materialeffizienz und Ressourcenschonung (MaRess)" ist ein erstes Paper hervorgegangen. Es wurde zur 3. Innovationskonferenz des Bundesumweltministeriums am 22. Oktober 2008 in Berlin vorgelegt und beschreibt den derzeitigen Arbeitsstand des AP1. Die Autoren des Papers mit dem Titel "Ressourceneffizienzpotenziale durch Technologien, Produkte und Strategien - Erste Ergebnisse" sind Holger Rohn, Claus Lang-Koetz, Nico Pastewski und Michael Lettenmeier. Das Paper stellt den Prozess der Auswahl und Identifizierung innovativer ressourceneffizienzsteigernder Leitprodukte und Leittechnologien dar, auf deren Basis eine tiefer gehende Ermittlung der Ressourceneffizienzpotenziale von ca. 20 ausgewählten Leitprodukten und -technologien erfolgen kann. Die Verbindung zu innovativen Dienstleistungsangeboten, die die Erschließung von Leitmärkten erst ermöglichen, wird dabei berücksichtigt
Application of the MIPS method for assessing the sustainability of production-consumption systems of food
No full textThe article estimates the natural resource consumption due to nutrition from the supply and demand sides. Using the MIPS (Material Input per Service Unit) methodology, we analyzed the use of natural resources along the supply chains of three Italian foodstuffs: wheat, rice and orange-based products. These figures were then applied for evaluating the sustainability of diets in 13 European countries. The results outline which phases in food production are more natural resource demanding than others. We also observed different levels of sustainability in the European diets and the effect of different foodstuffs in the materials, water and air consumption. © 2011 Elsevier B.V.
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
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe 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
A simple derivation of the Hansen-Bliek-Rohn-Ning-Kearfott enclosure for linear interval equations
No full text. Recently, Ning & Kearfott derived a formula for the interval enclosure of the solution set of linear systems of equations with uncertain data ranging in intervals, in the case when the coefficient matrix is an Hmatrix. The enclosure is optimal when the midpoint matrix is diagonal, and when the midpoint is the identity, it reduces to the optimal method for enclosing preconditioned systems found by Hansen and Bliek and simplified by Rohn. An elementary proof of this formula is given using only simple properties of H-matrices and Schur complements. The new proof gives additional insight into why the theorem is true. It is also shown how to preserve rigor in the enclosure when finite precision arithmetic is used. revised version, November 1998 Keywords: linear interval equations, optimal enclosure, H-matrix, Schur complement, finite precision arithmetic, directed rounding 1991 MSC Classification: 65G10 1 Introduction An interesting and unexpected result by Hansen [2] gave an explic..
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe 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
The construction of Karen Karnak: The multi-author-function
No full textThis thesis is situated within the comparatively recent developments of Web 2.0 and the emergence of interactive WikiMedia, and explores the mode of authorship within a Read/Write culture compared to that of a Read/Only tradition. The hypothesis of this study is that the role of the audience has become merged with the author, and as such, represents new functions and attributes, distinct from a more conventional concept of authorship, in which the roles of audience and author are more separate. Read/Write and participatory culture, as defined by this study, is focused on collaboration, and includes the influences of D.I.Y. culture, Open-Source practices and the production of text by multiple authors. Multi-authorship presents a re-thinking of several concepts which support the notion of the individual author, since the focus of multi-authorship is not on attribution and ownership of a finished text, but on the continued malleability of a text. Modes of multi-authorship, demonstrated in the use of the pseudonyms Alan Smithee and Karen Eliot, represent declarative authors whose names signify multiple origins, whilst concurrently indicating a distinct body of work. The function of these names form an important context to this study, since primary research involves the construction of an experimental mode of multi-authorship utilising WikiMedia technology and the interaction of thirty nine participants, who are invited to create a body of work under the collective pseudonym Karen Karnak. The data generated by this experiment is analysed using aspects of Michel Foucault's author-function to identify and determine power structures inherent in the WikiMedia context. The interplay of power structures, including concepts such as identity, ownership and the body of work, affect the resulting mode of authorship and contribute to the construction of Karen Karnak, suggesting further areas of research into the emerging multi-author
