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
A Vindication of the Rights of Natasha Romanoff
No full textThe ‘Black Widow controversy’ arose after the film release of Joss Whedon’s Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015) in response to the way the film seems to restrict the development of Scarlett Johansson’s character, Natasha Romanoff (Black Widow), to the sexist themes of romance and motherhood. In one particular scene, the character herself espouses a regressive ideology of female virtue, nature, and identity when she refers to her sterilized body as “monstrous.” Using the writings of early and contemporary feminist theorists, I argue against the claims that Natasha’s character arc in Ultron is anti-feminist and that it detracts from her reputation as a strong female character. I conclude that the Black Widow controversy resulted from audiences perceiving and interpreting Natasha’s role and storyline based on their own problematic expectations, stereotypes, and preconceived notions about female superheroes and powerful female characters, rather than based on how she was depicted in the film
Variations on the Author
No full text“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
Laserhitsattujen kerroslevyjen taivutusvaste
No full textThe thesis presents a theory for the bending of laser-welded web-core sandwich plates. The sandwich plate theory and homogenization are utilised, enabling a similar, fairly coarse, FE mesh to be used for design alternatives with different cross-sectional dimensions. This is considered to be beneficial during the design, when different alternatives should be evaluated. The thesis also studies the main factors that contribute to the total bending response of laser-welded web-core sandwich plates.
The actual periodic structure is homogenized, giving equivalent stiffness properties for the sandwich plate. The differential equations for this homogenous sandwich plate, with thick face plates, consist of those for displacements of the well-known Reissner-Mindlin and Kirchoff plate theories. Therefore, the solution of these differential equations can be carried out using commercial Finite Element software. The periodic structure is reconsidered when the stress formulations are derived. The approach is validated with Finite Element calculations based on actual 3D topology.
The rotation stiffness of the laser stake welded T-joint between the web and face plate is derived experimentally. This is considered to be important since the rotation stiffness affects the shear stiffness in the opposite direction to that of the web plate. An experimental procedure for the determination of the T-joint rotation stiffness is developed and validated. The mechanics of the T-joint are investigated with Finite Element analyses.
The moment introduced by the web plate to the face plate is very important when deflections and normal stresses are considered. This moment is affected by the stiffnesses of the web plate and the T-joint. The deflections are significantly increased by a decrease in the web plate or T-joint rotation stiffness. The influence is greatest with cross-sections where the face plate thickness is large and the web plate spacing is small. Plates with a low aspect ratio under a uniform pressure load have the same maximum deflection, regardless of the T-joint rotation stiffness. Contrary to this, plates with a high aspect ratio or a patch load on a small area are very sensitive to rotation stiffness. The periodicity of the structure is found to have a significant influence on normal stresses in the face and web plates. Because of homogenization shear-induced, periodic, normal stresses vanish. In actual structures these stresses can be an order of magnitude higher than those induced by the bending moments of the sandwich plate. Therefore, the periodic structure as presented in this thesis should be taken into consideration when the normal stresses are calculated. Patch loads on a very small area can cause normal stresses even higher than those induced by shear. The web plate thickness is found to have a significant influence on stresses, but in the measured range of T-joint rotation stiffness values, the stresses are found to be unaffected.Tässä työssä kehitettiin analyysimenetelmä laserhitsattujen, I-tyypin kerroslevyjen taivutusvasteen laskentaa varten. Menetelmässä hyödynnetään kerroslevyjen laattateoriaa ja homogenisointia, minkä ansiosta rakenteen taivutusvaste voidaan määrittää eri poikkileikkausvaihtoehdoille käyttäen samaa, suhteellisen harvaa elementtiverkkoa. Tämä menetelmän ominaisuus on erittäin hyödyllinen, kun tarkastellaan ajan suhteen kriittistä laivarakenteiden konseptisuunnittelua. Lisäksi työssä pyritään löytämään tärkeimmät tekijät laatan vasteen kannalta.
Työn alussa kehitettiin teoria laatan taivutukselle. Rakenteen jaksollisuus keskiarvoistetttiin, minkä tuloksena saatiin differentiaaliyhtälöt kerroslevylaatalle, jossa on paksut pintalevyt. Saadut differentiaaliyhtälöt koostuvat Reissner-Mindlinin ja Kirchoffin laattateorioiden mukaisista siirtymien differentiaaliyhtälöistä. Differentiaaliyhtälöt ratkaistaan käyttäen kaupallista, elementtimenetelmään, perustuvaa ohjelmistoa. Rakenteen jaksollisuus huomioidaan jännityslaskennassa. Kehitetty laattateoria validoitiin elementtimenetelmän avulla suoritetuilla laskelmilla todelliselle 3D rakenteelle.
Työssä kehitettiin ja validoitiin laserhitsin kiertojäykkyysarvojen mittausmenetelmä. Laserhitsin kiertojäykkyydellä havaittiin olevan suuri merkitys laatan leikkausjäykkyyteen ydinlevyjä vastaan kohtisuorassa suunnassa. Kiertojäykkyyteen vaikuttavia tekijöitä tutkittiin elementtimenetelmän avulla.
Työn lopussa tunnistettiin laatan vasteen kannalta tärkeimmät tekijät. Laatan taipuma ja normaalijännitys ovat herkkiä ydinlevystä pintalevyyn välitetylle momentille. Tämä momentti pienenee, kun ydinlevyjen paksuus tai laserhitsin kiertojäykkyys pienenee. Tämän seurauksena laatan taipuma kasvaa. Vaikutus on suurin, kun laatan pintalevyt ovat paksut ja ydinlevyjen välinen etäisyys on pieni. Tasaisesti jakautuneen painekuormituksen alaisilla laatoilla, joilla laatan sivusuhte on pieni, taipuma ei riipu laserhitsin kiertojäykkyydestä. Pienelle alueelle kohdistuvan palstakuormituksen alaisilla, tai suurisivuhteisilla, laatoilla laserhitsin kiertojäykkyydellä on suuri merkitys taipumiin. Laatan jaksollisuuden huomioiminen on erittäin tärkeää, kun tarkastellaan laatassa vaikuttavia normaalijännityksiä. Suurin osuus normaalijännitysvasteesta aiheutuu pienelle alueelle kohdistuvasta palstakuormituksesta, minkä jälkeen tärkein osuus aiheutuu ydinlevyjen tasoa vastaan kohtisuoraan olevasta leikkausvoimasta. Laatan keskitasossa vaikuttavien normaalivoimien ja taivutusmomenttien merkitys normaalijännityksiin on huomattavasti näitä osuuksia pienempi. Laserhitsin mitatuilla kiertojäykkyysarvoilla ei havaittu olevan merkitystä rakenteellisten normaalijännitysten kannalta.reviewe
