Experimental performance evaluation of an ORC in a CHEST-like Carnot battery
No full textDue to the continuously increasing share of renewables in the power mix, large-scale energy storage systems are becoming essential to ensure secure and stable energy supply. Carnot batteries, a combination of a power-to-heat, a thermal storage and a heat-to-power system, could potentially provide a solution. In literature, the Compressed Heat Energy Storage (CHEST) concept has been introduced as a Carnot battery subset. Using both sensible and latent thermal storage, it optimizes the temperature profiles between the charging- and discharging cycle and the thermal storage system. Despite promising theoretical results, the concept was never demonstrated until recently. A first of its kind CHEST Carnot battery was developed within the European Horizon2020 project CHESTER. It consists of a high temperature heat pump which charges a thermal storage system and an organic Rankine cycle (ORC) that discharges the storage. The storage system is composed of a latent heat part, using a phase change material with a melting temperature around 133 °C and a sensible heat part with pressurized water. In this paper, the interaction between the thermal storage system and the ORC is studied. Specifically, the influence of the heat distribution over the sensible and latent storage on the ORC operation is investigated. The results show that the thermal efficiency of the ORC is not sensitive to the actual distribution of the heat input, as long as the heat input to the system can be sustained. The ORC itself supports a high flexibility towards different residual heat source temperatures and storage systems, making it applicable in a wide range of operating scenarios
The regional dimensions of the european integration under the expected expansion of the European Union
No full textIn this paper it will be made an attempt for a comparative political and economy evaluation of the European Integration with the criterion of regional inequalities of the european Union. The problem of the European Integration will be analyzed on the basis of national and regional inequalities of the European Union. Initially we will examine the regional dimension of the European unification on the asis of the European Union with 15 member-states (EU15). As criteria we select the different levels of economic development of the member-states examining the regional inequalities at national level. On this basis we obsserve that the member states converge creating the "hard core of Europe" and the member states diverge from the average level of the development of the European Union so that determining the countries of "community cohesion". Next we apply the previous criteria to the EU27,in other words it is useful to research the inequalities of the levels of economic development,which rrresult in the European Union,if all the others candidate countries would be able to be taken within the EI of 15 as is today. In the EU of 27 with the basis of per capita GNP exist three groups of countries instead of two as exist today. The first group it consists of the present member-states of the EU15,except Spain,Greece and Portugal of which the GNP per capita exceeds by 20% the new weighted average of the EU27. The second group it consists of the present member states of community cohesion, i.e. Spain Greece and Portugal plus Cyprus,Czechia, and Malta with percapita GNP between 68%(Czechia) and 95% (Spain) of the average of the EU27. The third group it consists of the remaining eight (8) candidate countries with GNP per capita below of the 40% of the average of the EU27, with the exemption of Slovakia and Hungary og which the GNP per capita lies between 56%-58% of the average of the EU27. Therefore, the expected expansion with the complex inequalities, will result a big challenge for the European regional policy, and the policy of the economic and social cohesion. First, the expansion will make more than double the population of the European Union that lives with GNP per capita below of the 75% of the present average of the EU.This number will raise from 71 million at the present to 174 million of people or different stated from 19% of the total of EU15 to 36% of the total of EU27. Second, the scale and the size of regional inequalities will be increased. Therefore, in the 1998 for the less developed regionsn the EU15 the per capita GNPwas an average of the EU15. With the expansion, the GNP per capita of the less developed regions of the candidata countries was on the 37% of the average of EU15. Therefore the co-existence of the poor and rich regions within the EU27 will make the regional inequalities more complex in this part of the Union which consists of poor countries. We may possibly will find ourselves in a new allocation of poverty. Finally, we will attempt to achieve the necessary interventions between the EU15 and the EU27, researching the modern problems of the EU under the expected expansion of the European Union.
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
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
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
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
Author, publisher and bookseller : a tripartite synergy in Nigerian book industry
No full textThis work is about the roles of Author, Publisher and Bookseller in Book development in
Nigeria. The paper started by delving into the history of Book Publishing in Nigeria after
which it proceeded by defining who an author, a publisher, and a bookseller is and
