Power Balance Characteristics for Multirotor- and Fixed-Wing-Type UAV-BSs Equipped with RES and RISs
No full text<h2><strong>Overview</strong></h2>
<p>The following dataset presents the power balance characteristics for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Base Stations (UAV-BSs) equipped with Renewable Energy Sources (RES) and Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RISs). The dataset has been prepared for two different types of UAVs, i.e., multirotor and fixed-wing ones.</p>
<h2><strong>Scenario</strong></h2>
<p>The considered scenario includes 2 UAV-BSs (each of a different type) equipped with a single RF transceiver and an RIS device and RES — a single photovoltaic panel (PV) and a single wind turbine (WT). The UAV-BSs are placed within the city of Poznan and hover (multirotor) or follow a circular route (fixed-wing) above a single mobile user with fixed traffic demand (100 Mbps downlink — DL, and 50 Mbps uplink — UL). The simulation runs have been performed for 4 dates (vernal equinox, summer solstice, autumn equinox, winter solstice), each one from a different season of the year. The aim of such an approach was to highlight the impact of the time of the day and the year on the energy gain obtained thanks to enabling RES generators as well as on the power consumption of the hardware of each UAV-BS type. The weather conditions assumed within the simulation are typical for the climate in Poland.</p>
<h2><strong>Methodology</strong></h2>
<p>The power-balance calculations (UAV-BSs' power consumption, renewable energy production) have been based on the mathematical formulas from the scientific literature and performed within the digital simulation runs by using dedicated software developed in Python programming language.</p>
<h2><strong>Simulation setup</strong></h2>
<p>The setup of the input parameters for used mathematical models (power consumption, energy generation) has been done in accordance with the values attached within the literature positions (cited within the publication included in the <em>Related works</em> section of the following dataset) and adjusted to the considered study. Furthermore, the data used to predict weather conditions are the real data (for the year 2022) collected by the weather stations placed in Poznan. A single simulation run has been performed (which takes into account 2 types of UAV-BS simultaneously and estimates their power balance for 4 seasons of the year), where the time step has been set to 1 hour of the day.</p>
<h2><strong>Results</strong></h2>
<p>The results of the aforementioned investigations have been included in the attached files (<em>_power_balance_multirotor.csv</em> & <em>_power_balance_fixed_wing.csv</em>). The first column denotes the hour of a particular day. Next, 4 multicolumns have been presented for the following variants — No RES enabled, only PV enabled, only WT enabled, and both types of RES generators enabled. In addition, each multicolumn consists of 4 columns, each of which represents a UAV-BS's hardware power balance (in W) for a different date (season of the year).</p>
<h2><strong>Acknowledgment</strong></h2>
<p>More details about the conducted study have been described within the attached paper (<em>Related works</em> section). The work (including the following dataset preparation) was realized within project no. 2021/43/B/ST7/01365 funded by the National Science Center in Poland.</p>
Energy Consumption in Wireless Systems Equipped with RES, UAVs, and IRSs, Journal of Telecommunications and Information Technology, 2023, nr 2
Full text linkThis paper investigates energy budget characteristics of mobile base stations (BSs) having the form of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) equipped with radio frequency (RF) transceivers, intelligent reconfigurable surfaces (IRSs), and renewable energy sources (RES). The results obtained highlight the benefits and challenges related to using the aforementioned mobile BS, from the energy-related point of view. The specific cases researched involved two types of UAV devices, i.e. multirotor and fixed-wing (airplane-like) aircraft
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
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe 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
