Real-time monitoring wildlife using autopilot quadcopter with Wi-Fi facility (camera trapping and router extender) / Mohamad Shahafizul Abdullah @ Aziz
Get PDFFrom the THE STAR newspaper 14th April 2015, at least five of Malaysia's mammal species, including the Sumatran Serow, dugong and the Malayan tiger are now facing extinction [1], This is due to human activities such as logging, over-development and poaching [1]. In Malaysia, there are no advance system or method that can monitor the wildlife more efficient and effectively. Some conventional methods include surveys on the footprints, dung, calls, live trapping, den counts and direct observation [2]. The problem of these methods, there are no technologies on wildlife monitoring system that can visually monitor during real-time on illegal activities in remote locations [3]. On top of that, the information need to be informed quickly when illegal incidents occurred in the forest so that the relevant authorities can be assigned to stop the illegal activity. The objectives of this projects is to design a system for real-time monitoring using smartphone application, to develop a system that can provide WI-FI signal at any place in the forest for faster data collection and to design the night vision monitoring system and to extend the WI-FI signal coverage. This project is a real-time monitoring wildlife which uses an autopilot quadcopter and provides WI-FI facility for the forest rangers or to the jungle trekkers. The design implementation that are carried out is by applying Monitoring tools using high definition camera with WI-FI supported and night vision capable and Global Positioning System(GPS). The system is capable to improve the monitoring work in the jungle and also improves care control on wildlife effectively. This project will be beneficial to the Wildlife Conservation Society as to monitor the wildlife in large area during real time and provide WI-FI facilities for the forest rangers and jungle tracke
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
Perbandingan Pemikiran Ibnu Khaldun Dan Adam Smith Tentang Mekanisme Pasar Tradisional

Fakultas Syariah, Institute Agama Islam Negri (IAIN) Syekhnurjati Cirebon.
Penelitian ini dimulai dari pengejewantahan bidang mekanisme pasar tradisional
secara teoritik, yang masih banyak mengundang banyak perdebatan, maka itu
penulis mencoba menguraikan secara ekpelisit dengan meninjau pemikiran Ibnu
Khaldun dan Adam Smith. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui bagaiman
relevansi pemikiran Ibnu Khaldun dan Adam Smith tentang mekanisme pasar
tradisional. Penelitian yang penulis gunakan di sini, berjenis Librear Research
(penelitian kepustakaan) dengan pendekatan Kajian Pemikiran Tokoh. Kajian
Pemikiran Tokoh adalah usaha menggali pemikiran tokoh-tokoh tertentu yang
memiliki karya-karya fenomenal. Karya tersebut bisa berbentuk buku, surat, pesan,
atau dokumen lainnnya yang menjadi refleksi pemikirannya. Berhubung penelitian
ini berjenis penelitian kepustakaan, maka cara penggalian data dalam penelitian ini
dengan cara mengumpulkan berbagai tulisan karya ilmiah, yang berubungan dengan
topik pembahasan penelitian ini. Dari hasil penelitian yang penulis lakukan tentang
perbandingan pemikiran Ibnu Khaldun dan Adam Smith tentang mekanisme pasar
tradisonal, bahwa, dalam mekanisme pasar tradisional, yang meliputi beberapa
faktor yaitu; tentang teori harga, teori nilai, spesialisasi dalam kerja, dan negara
atau peran pemerintah dalam mekanisme pasar, dari dua tokoh di atas, tidak semua
teori mekanisme pasarnya sesuai dengan mekanisme pasar tradisional. Penulis
menemukan temuannya, dan hasil analisis dari temuan tersebut, bahwa terdapat
satu-sama lain dua teori yang masuk sesuai dengan mekanisme pasar tradisional.
Teori mekanisme pasar Ibnu Khaldun, yang relevansi dengan mekanisme pasar
tradisional, hanya pada wilayah spesialisasi kerja dan peran pemerintah. Sedangkan
Adam Smith, pada wilayah Teori harga dan nilai dari suatu komoditas.

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
