Koordinasi pasukan NPC menggunakan agen cerdas berbasis fuzzy coordinator dan distribusi Gaussian
Full text linkGame peperangan bertipe Real-Time Strategy (RTS) menampilkan
kelompok–kelompok agen atau pasukan NPC yang berperang dan menghancurkan
pertahanan musuh. Pasukan NPC merupakan karakter yang tidak dapat
dikendalikan oleh pemain, sehingga pasukan NPC diberi kecerdasan untuk dapat
menanggapi setiap perubahan pada lingkunganya. Pasukan NPC juga mempunyai
beberapa jenis perilaku serangan yang digunakan untuk menghadapi lawan. Untuk
membuat penyerangan yang kuat dibutuhkan adanya koordinasi antar pasukan
NPC dan serangan yang tidak mudah terprediksi oleh lawan. Koordinasi di dalam
kelompok pasukan NPC diperlukan agar serangan yang dilakukan dapat mencapai
tujuan utama serangan kelompok tersebut. Teknik koordinasi di dalam kelompok
pasukan NPC dihadapkan pada permasalahan bahwa setiap pasukan NPC adalah
agen otonom yang memiliki kecerdasan sendiri dalam mengambil keputusan
berdasarkan rangsangan dari lingkungan sekitarnya dan pemain tidak dapat
mempengaruhi atau mengendalikan NPC secara terus menerus. Dalam penelitian
ini diusulkan teknik koordinasi menggunakan agen cerdas berbasis fuzzy
coordinator dan distribusi gaussian. Agen cerdas bertindak sebagai leader yang
menggantikan peran pemain dalam mengkoordinasi perilaku pasukan NPC. Agen
cerdas akan menentukan strategi tim dengan memantau sisa waktu serangan,
kondisi dari masing-masing NPC, dan kondisi musuh. Fuzzy coordinator
digunakan untuk mengkoordinasi perilaku pasukan NPC dengan strategi dari
leader. Distribusi Gaussian digunakan untuk memberikan variasi perilaku
serangan disekitar perilaku hasil koordinasi. Percobaan yang dilakukan
membuktikan bahwa Metode koordinasi yang diusulkan dalam penelitian ini
dapat memberikan hasil yang lebih baik dalam pencapaian objektif tim dalam
penyerangan dibandingkan tanpa adanya koordinasi pasukan. Terutama pada saat
jumlah pasukan lebih sedikit dari jumlah musuh. Pasukan dengan koordinasi
berhasil memperoleh rata-rata gold sebesar 66.12 %, menjaga rata-rata jumlah
pasukan sebanyak 65.42 % dan menjaga rata-rata health Hero sebanyak 58.65%.
Sementara pasukan tanpa koordinasi hanya memperoleh rata-rata gold sebesar
59.02%, menjaga rata-rata jumlah pasukan sebanyak 44.57% dan menjaga ratarata
health Hero sebanyak 34.86%.

The RTS War games show the battle of NPC troops. The NPC troop is a
character that can’t be controlled by human player. It is necessary to embed an
artificial intelligence into NPC for doing his task. NPCs troop usually have many
kind of attacking behavior to fight the enemy. Creating a strong attack there must
be coordination between NPC troops and unpredictable attacking behavior.
Coordination allows autonomous agents (i.e. NPC troops) interact coherently to
pursue team’s goal. The problem is multi behavior NPCs has intelligence for
selecting behavior itself, which sometimes does not appropriate to accomplish a
team objective. The player can’t control the NPC behavior directly. In this
research we propose NPC troop coordination using smart agent based fuzzy
coordinator and Gaussian distribution. Smart agent being a leader which acts as a
human player coordinates troop’s behavior. The smart agent analyzes condition of
troops, enemies and remaining time to decide a team strategy. Fuzzy coordinator
is used to coordinate NPC troop’s behavior with leader’s strategy. Gaussian
distribution is used to provide a variety of behavior attacks around the
coordination result.The experiment demonstrates that the proposed coordination
method provide a better results in the achievement of the objective team than
without a coordination. Especially, in condition when the number of troops less
than the number of enemies. NPC troops with the coordination successfully
obtained an average of gold 66.12 %, keeping the average number of troops 65.42
% and maintain health Hero 58.65%. While the troops without coordination only
get an average of gold 59.02%, keeping the average number of troops 44.57 %
and maintain average health of Hero 34.86 %
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.
