First MERLIN observations of line emission from the OH megamaser toward IRAS 10173+0828
No full textMany galaxies are thought to contain massive black holes, with masses in excess of ten million solar masses, at their centres and warped circumnuclear toruses. The best evidence comes from observing gas or masers rotating rapidly within a circumnuclear torus surrounding a central body. Here we report on the first MERLIN observations of line emission from the OH megamaser toward IRAS 10173+0828. The position of peak flux contours of the OH megamaser is consistent with that of the continuum in IRAS 10173+0828. This means that the OH megamaser is a diffuse unsaturated maser which could amplify the diffuse 18 cm continuum emission with an amplification factor of order unity
Philippine SUCs compliance performance on RA 10173
No full text© 2018 Association for Computing Machinery. The advancements in technologies have accelerated educational institutions by improving service delivery while reducing costs. As a result, it provided avenues of learning, the use of online discussions, Virtual Learning Environments (VLEs) and mobile technologies, thus making data security vulnerable. With these, it is imperative that through the lens of R.A. 10173 and NPC\u27s five pillars that data be protected by a policy that is sustained and executed effectively. This qualitative research using case study technique aimed to evaluate, explore and explain the level of compliance of Bukidnon State University (BukSU) with RA 10173. Likewise answering the research question how does PSUCs apply and integrate R.A. 10173 with its Information Systems and Business Processes? Using single case holistic design with common rationale, and pattern matching technique in interpreting the tabulated results. It was found out that BukSU, just like most government agencies in the Philippines, is qualitatively described as Partial Compliant. Furthermore, their compliance was due to moral suasion, where BukSU, considers it as its moral obligation to protect the students and its employees\u27 data. An initiative from PASUC, to come up with a Data Privacy Manual that will serve as a model for all PSUC\u27s in drafting their own manual, where BukSU practices can be aligned with that of PASUC. After the September 11, 2017, deadline, BukSU invested in a UTM Unified Threat Management with a three-year license to safeguard university data resources

OH megamasers in warped circumnuclear torus of IRAS 10173+0828
No full textFrom high-resolution MERLIN observations of OH megamasers in the circumnuclear torus of IRAS 10173+0828, evidence has been secured for a warp of the circumnuclear torus. Moreover, a positive correlation between the angular size of east-west extensions of contours and the peak flux density in the velocity channels is found
RA 10173 and its challenges to Philippine state universities and colleges' compliance performance
No full text© 2018 Association for Computing Machinery. Data privacy has become a major concern in the Philippines owing to the promulgation of Republic Act No. 10173, otherwise known as the Data Privacy Act of 2012, duly enforced by the National Privacy Commission (NPC). This study seeks to determine the level of compliance of Mindanao State University- General Santos City (MSU-GSC) as well as understand the challenges it encounters in accordance with the Data Privacy Act. Using a qualitative single holistic case study design and pattern matching technique, this paper was able to uncover how and why SUCs can comply with the RA 10173 and can apply such law in their information systems and academic processes. It was found out that MSU-GSC is qualitatively described as partially compliant and it further supports deterrence and legitimacy as its determinants. The moderating effect of compliance with RA 8792 or E-Commerce Act of 2000 also significantly affects its abidance with Data Privacy Act as efforts are continuously directed towards automating university processes and transactions. Moreover, three factors were identified that contributes primarily on the challenges of its compliance namely lack of better understanding, budgetary issues and time constraints. The study contributes to the literature by providing inputs about SUCs’ continuing efforts toward compliance with RA 10173. It is suggested NPC to diffuse responsibility to SUCs, so as compliance with data privacy act will weigh down less. Further, it is expected a greater appreciation of the law will fuel enthusiasm to overcome challenges of compliance
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
