Implementasi Unified Modeling Language (UML) pada Perancangan Aplikasi WiFiTalkie Berbasis TCP/IP
Get PDFDi dunia komunikasi analog kita mengenal perangkat yang bernama HT (Handy Talkie). Perangkat ini bekerja dengan menggunakan sinyal elektromagnetik pada frekuensi radio tertentu. Perangkat ini berfungsi sebagai pengirim dan penerima sinyal radio.Sinyal yang dikirimkan adalah sinyal suara yang telah diubah menjadi sinyal elektromagnetik. Untuk dapat berkomunikasi satu sama lain, maka harus ada kesepakatan antar pengguna untuk menyetel perangkatnya pada frekuensi yang sama. Salah satu kelemahan dari perangkat ini adalah kualitas suara yang cenderung noisy dan sangat bergantung pada kondisi cuaca. Dengan seiring teknologi semikonduktor yang berkembang pesat, terciptalah perangkat digital yang semakin bervariasi kegunaannya. Saat ini sudah banyak diciptakan perangkat digital yang dapat menggantikan perangkat analog secara keseluruhan. Sebagai contohnya adalah pesawat televisi. Pesawat televisi digital memberikan kualitas yang jauh lebih baik daripada perangkat televisi analog dengan ukuran yang jauh lebih ramping. Contoh yang lain saat ini tersedia smartphone yang memiliki fitur yang sangat lengkapyang tertanam pada perangkat yang berukuran relatif kecil. Salah satu fiturnya adalah wifi. Dengan fitur ini sebuah smartphone dapat terhubung satu sama lain, bahkan dapat terhubung dengan internet dengan mudahnya. Dalam rangka digitalisasi perangkat analog dan tersedianya fiturwifidi dalam smartphone ini, maka diciptakan sebuah aplikasi WiFiTalkie. Cara kerjanya yaitu smartphone akan mengirimkan sinyal suara dengan memanfaatkan teknologi TCP/IP melalui jaringan wifi, kemudian smartphone yang lain di dalam network yang sama menerima sinyal ini dan memprosesnya kembali menjadi sinyal suara. Aplikasi ini dibangun dengan mengimplementasikan metode perancangan Unified Modeling Language (UML). Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa kualitas suara yang dihasilkan oleh WiFiTalkie jauh lebih baik daripada HT yang berbasis pada sinyal analog
Rancang Bangun Aplikasi Smart Touring Berbasis Android
Get PDFPerkembangan teknologi saat ini begitu cepat. Teknologi membuat perubahan pada peradaban manusia. Telah banyak kegiatan manusia yang didukung oleh kemajuan teknologi. Tak terkecuali kegiatan touring yang dilakukan bersama-sama. Touring adalah kegiatan berkendara dari suatu tempat ke tempat lain secara bersama-sama. Saat ini komunitas touring terus meningkat, namun masih memiliki beberapa permasalahan saat melakukan aktifitasnya. Saat ini salah satu permasalahan yang ada pada aktifitas touring adalah pengendara satu dengan yang lainnya tidak bisa mengetahui lokasi semua teman touring mereka. Oleh karena itu sangat dimungkinkan ada anggota touring mereka yang tertinggal jauh atau salah jalur. Dengan teknologi smartphone yang sangat pesat, dimungkinkan dibangun sebuah sistem yang dapat mendukung kegiatan touring tersebut. Pada penelitian ini telah berhasil dibangun sistem yang dapat mendukung kelancaran aktifitas touring. Fokus penelitian ini adalah membangun sistem touring yang dapat mendeteksi keberadaan semua member touring ketika sedang melakukan kegiatan touring. Sistem yang dibangun adalah berbasis contextual awareness, yaitu sistem yang mampu memberikan informasi kepada pengguna dengan data yang didapat dari lingkungannya. Dalam hal ini adalah memberikan informasi ketika ada member touring yang berjauhan dengan member touring lainnya
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
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
Comparison of Parametric and Nonparametric Forecasting Methods for Daily COVID-19 Cases in Malaysia
Get PDFNumerous research studies are currently examining various measures to control the transmission of COVID-19. One essential task in this regard is predicting or forecasting the number of infected individuals. This predictive capability is crucial for governments to allocate resources effectively. However, the most effective approach to handling time series problems between the parametric and non-parametric methods is unclear. The parametric method utilizes a fixed number of parameters to calculate the value. On the other hand, the non-parametric method increases its parameters along with the number of observations. To address the issue, we conducted a study comparing parametric and non-parametric models for time series forecasting, specifically using Malaysia's daily confirmed COVID-19 cases from 18/3/2020 to 30/12/2020. Since there have been limited comparisons of these models in time series forecasting, we believe our study is beneficial. We considered various models, including persistence, autoregression, ARIMA, SARIMA, single, double, and triple exponential smoothing, multi-linear regression, support vector regression, artificial neural networks (ANN), K-nearest neighbor regression, decision trees regression, random forest regression, and Gaussian processes regression models. Our study revealed significant characteristics of these methods, and we found that exponential smoothing methods were the most effective in capturing the level and trend of the data compared to other methods. Additionally, ANN had the least forecasting error among the machine learning methods. In conclusion, non-parametric methods are not suitable for predicting daily cases of Covid-19 in Malaysia. Enhancing the parametric methods will be preferable in the future.
