SPATIAL - TEMPORAL ANALYSIS OF URBAN HEAT ISLAND IN TANGERANG CITY
Full text linkUrban Heat Island (UHI) is a phenomenon which is affected by human activities. Land use change by human activities, expressed by urbanization that means rural or suburban areas changed to urban areas. This study is intended to identify the UHI phenomena in Tangerang city. To answer the aim of this research,temperature data is collected (direct and indirect data). Direct collection for air surface temperature conducted by surveying some location collect in 24 hour period (April 2012) and another location by rapid 10- 15 minute in day time (April, July, August and September 2012). This technique employed mobile temperature and humidity tools. Secondary air surface temperature data (24 hour period) during 2009-2012 also use in this study. Indirect data employed Landsat TM only two year data 200I and 2012for land surface temperature. Satellite data employed to identify land cover change to get information about land use change. The result shown that the temperature condition, both air surface and land surface temperature, were changed UHI phenomenon in Tangerang City indicated by temperature higher than 3ife. Based on land surface temperature, UHI phenomenon in 2001 already occurred at small area. UHI phenomenon in 2012 almost covered the Tangerang eity area. UHI Index in 2009 is 3.6 ⁰C, in 2011 is 1.5⁰C and then 2012 become 1.2°C. This study concludes that UHI phenomena found since 2001 and trend of UHI Index AST since 2009 with average UHllndex AST of 2°C. UHllndex LST in 2001 is 9.78 ⁰C and 2012 is 13.96⁰C
Urban Heat Island adlaah sebuah fenomena yang disebabkan oleh aktifias manusia. Perubahan penggunaan tanah akibat dari aktifitas manusia digambarkan dengan urbanisasi, yang berarti pedesaan atau daerah peralihan desa kota menjadi perkotaan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk identifikasi fenomena UHI di Kota Tangerang. Untuk menjawab tujuan penelitian ini digunakan pengumpulan data suhu (pengumpulan data secara langsung dan tidak langsung). Pengumpulan data langsung untuk suhu udara permukaan dengan survey, beberapa lokasi diambil selama 24 jam (April 2012) dan beberapa lokasi lainnya dengan pengambilan data cepat selama 10-15 menit pada siang hari (April, Juli, Agustus dan September 2012). Teknik ini mengunakan alat pengukuran suhu dan kelembaban. Data sekunder suhu udara (24jam) selama 2009-2011 juga digunakan. Pengumpulan data tidak langsung menggunakan data Landsat TM yang terdiri dari dua [ahun,yakni 2001 dan 2012 untuk menghasilkan suhu permukaan tanah. Data satelit digunakan untuk identifikasi perubahan data tutupan lahan sebagai indikasi perubahan penggunan tanah. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan keadaan temperatur, baik temperatur suhu udara dan suhu permukaan tanah terjadi perubahan. Fenomena UHI di Kota Tangerang terindikasi dengan temperatllr lebih dari 30⁰C. Berdasarkan suhu permukaan tanah, fenomena UHI pada tahun 2001 telah terjadi pada area yang tidak luas. Fenomena UHI tahun 2012 terjadi hampir menutupi seluruh Kota Tangerang. UHI Index di tahun 2009 adalah 3.6 ⁰C, pada tahun 2011 adalah 1.5°C dan kemudian pada tahun 2012 menjadi 1.2°C. Kesimpulan dari penelitian iniadalah fenomena UHI sudah terdapat sejak tahunn 2001 dan tren UHI Index Suhu Udara Permukaan sejak tahun 2009 dengan Uhl lndex rata-rata 2°C tiap tahun. Sedagkan UHI Index Suhu Permukaan Tanahpada tahun 2001 adalah 9.78⁰C dan pada tahun 2012 adalah 13.96⁰C
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

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.
