Kostenbeschouwing van conventionele golfbrekers met betonelementen
No full textIn een gebied als Nederland met een relatiefflauw oplopende kust, heeft de conventionele stortstenen golfbreker in het verleden de voorkeur gekregen boven andere typen golfbrekers. Binnen de brekerzone wordt de golfhoogte begrensd door de waterdiepte, wat de keuze ten aanzien van de conventioneIe stortstenen golfbreker bevestigt aangezien de golfbreker lichter gedimensioneerd kan worden. Relatief lichte stortsteen is economisch aantrekkelijk te produceren in de steengroeve. Echter, bij toepassing in dieper water zal de golfbreker zwaarder gedimensioneerd moeten worden aIs gevolg van toenemende ontwerpgolfhoogte. Dit vraagt om relatief zware steen in de toplaag. De produktie van zware steen in de groeve leidt tot een grote overproduktie van de lichtere stortsteen, waardoor de produktiekosten voor de zware steen onevenredig hoog wordt. Vervanging van de zware steen door betonelementen zou tot een goedkopere oplossing kunnen leiden. In deze studie is voor een fictieve golfbrekerlay-out en een fictief golfklimaat onderzoek gedaan naar golfbrekers met kubussen, tetrapods en accropods als toplaagelementen. Op basis van minimale totale projektkosten gedurende de geplande levensduur van de constructie, is een vergelijking gemaakt tussen de verschillende varianten. De totale projektkosten zijn opgebouwd uit constructiekosten en schadekosten. De totale projektkosten van de accropodegolfbreker (circa 195 mln. gld.) zijn lager dan die van de kubus- en tetrapodegolfbreker (250 mln. respectievelijk 245 mln. gld.). De schadekosten blijven laag ten opzichte van de totale kosten. Op de constructiekosten wordt voordeel geboekt door de accropodegolfbreker, als gevolg van gehalveerde betonkosten. Dit wordt met name veroorzaakt doordat de toplaag enkellaags kan zijn en lichtere elementen kunnen worden toegepast. Het verschil inkosten ontstaat slechts in het diepere gebied als gevolg van ontwerpverschillen in waterdieptes groter dan 7 m. Het tracegedeelte in waterdieptes kleiner dan 7 m is voor alle golfbrekervarianten als gevoIg van uitvoeringstechnische redenen als een conventionele stortstenen golfbreker ontworpen. Voor dezeIfde fictieve randvoorwaarden is eerder onderzoek gedaan naar andere typen golfbrekers. De volgende varianten zijn hierbij bekeken: de conventionele stortstenen golfbreker (als basisvariant) en de bermgolfbreker door Op den Velde (1993) versus de monoliet golfbrekers door Schols (1997). Door voorgaand onderzoek bij het huidige onderzoek te betrekken kan gekeken hoe de kosten zich verhouden ten opzichte van de conventionele stortstenen golfbreker. De constructiekosten van de accropode- en de caissongolfbreker zijn aanzienlijk lager dan die van de conventionele stortstenen golfbreker (195 mln. , 205 mln. en respectieveIijk 480 mln. gld.). Het verschil wordt voornamelijk bepaald door grote overproduktie van de lichte fracties in de steengroeve en de benodigde hoeveelheden stortsteen in het dwarsprofiel van de conventionele stortstenen golfbreker. De accropodegolfbreker en de caissongolfbreker zijn concurrerend met elkaar. Dit overzicht moet worden beschouwd als een voorlopige aanwijzing bij het kiezen van een geschikt lokale omstandigheden goed geanalyseerd worden. Tot de belangrijkste lokale omstandigheden worden gerekend de vorm van de fragmentatiecurve van de steengroeve, de afstand van de steengroeve naar de golfbrekerlokatie, de bodemgesteldheid, het golfklimaat en de eenheidsprijs van het constructiebeton en de stortsteen.Hydraulic EngineeringCivil Engineering and Geoscience
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
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
Get PDFWe 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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
