Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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

Ergonomia e design for all : una tavola rotonda internazionale IEA
No full textA round table discussion on Ergonomics and Design for All took place during an\u3cbr/\u3einternational meeting on ergonomics organized by the Dutch organization “Human Factors vereniging” in Amersfoort, NL in November 2016. This event was co-hosted by FEES-Federation of European Ergonomics Societies and CREE-Centre for Registration of European Ergonomists. The round table discussion consisted of various expert talks on different aspects of the Design for All concept ranging from applications in the built environment to the health care sector. The goal was to introduce the concept, provide an overview of European mandates and subsequent standardization approaches as well as delivering particular insights from research institutions. Both the speakers panel and the audience consisted of individuals from various countries. The international participation and the active discussion during the round table have shown that the work of the IEA TC Ergonomics in Design for All is seen as an important and valuable activity. The IEA international round table was a huge success. There is broad support for the aim of the TC to establish “Design for All” as a generally accepted and applied methodology in the process of designing for products, services and processes
Methodology to calculate the energy consumption for lighting in buildings
No full text\u3cp\u3eThis paper proposes a methodology to benchmark lighting energy consumption for new building design or new lighting systems in existing buildings. The influences of electric lighting, daylighting and the lighting control system are evaluated for every building zone. This methodology uses the installed lighting power density, the area of the daylit and nondaylit sections and the effective operational times during daytime and night-time for each building zone. The calculations (based on the German standard DIN 18599 and the North-American standard ASHRAE-IESNA 90.1) allow a trade-off of the energy consumption between different technical areas such as lighting, heating and cooling. The energy consumption of these different technical areas can be compared enabling the user to monitor the influence of different choices (e.g. installing a different technical system). This methodology forms the basis for the lighting trade-off compliance path of the Canadian Model National Energy Code for Buildings (MNECB).\u3c/p\u3
