Structural Modeling on PSiOS
No full textIn this thesis, an integrated system model is germinated for the structure of the privacy
and security of iOS (PSiOS) devices with the help of the Matrix Algebra and Graph
Theory to compare the Graphs. Firstly, the structure of the PSiOS is sculptural using
Graph Theory, secondly using Variable Adjacency Matrix and last by a polynomial
which is known as Permanent Function. In terms of Storage Optimization and execution
time of a program, the Permanent Function provides a chance to effectuate the structural
Analysis of PSiOS by comparing the properties of PSiOS with it. To germinate the Graph
Model, Matrix Model and a polynomial permanent model, antithetic structural attributes
of the PSiOS are identified. For the complete analysis of PSiOS system, top-down
approach is also exemplified
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
Framework for Addressing Communication Issues in Agile Mode
No full textM.E. (Software Engineering)There are various software development models are used in software industry. The
selection of models is based on the type of software. Agile models are widely used for
developing software in industries. Various types of models have been developed time
to time and consistent work in the field of agile is going on. Different types of agile
models have been developed as extreme programming (xp), adaptive system
development, dynamic system development methodology, scrum etc. These methods
provide quick response to change request, fast and frequent delivery of software
products to customer and immediate feedback. Due to change in market scenario,
these factors have made agile methods more popular than traditional software
development methods.
The problem, in agile methods, arise when distributed team working on different
module of same software. And this problem become more crucial when there is less
focus on documentation. In order to overcome problem, a framework has been
proposed in this thesis. Framework will provide the information that which modules
are connected to current module. So if there is any change request in current module
then the team leader of other module which are related to current module can be
informed immediately
Secure Data Mining in Cloud using Homomorphic Encryption
No full textME, CSEDWith the advancement in technology, industry, e-commerce and research a large amount
of complex and pervasive digital data is being generated which is increasing at an
exponential rate and often termed as big data. Traditional Data Storage systems are not
able to handle Big Data and also analyzing the Big Data becomes a challenge and thus it
cannot be handled by traditional analytic tools. Cloud Computing can resolve the problem
of handling, storage and analyzing the Big Data as it distributes the big data within the
cloudlets. No doubt, Cloud Computing is the best answer available to the problem of Big
Data storage and its analyses but having said that, there is always a potential risk to the
security of Big Data storage in Cloud Computing, which needs to be addressed. Data
Privacy is one of the major issues while storing the Big Data in a Cloud environment.
Data Mining based attacks, a major threat to the data, allows an adversary or an
unauthorized user to infer valuable and sensitive information by analyzing the results
generated from computation performed on the raw data. This thesis proposes a secure kmeans
data mining approach assuming the data to be distributed among different hosts
preserving the privacy of the data. The approach is able to maintain the correctness and
validity of the existing k-means to generate the final results even in the distributed
environment
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
