Employee assessment system for Sunchirin Industry (Malaysia) Berhad / Azniza Md Aziz
Get PDFEmployee Assessment System was specially designed for Sunchirin Industry
(Malaysia) Berhad. This system is developed to measure the job performance of
Sunchirin Industry's employees who are in operator position. The measurements are
based on the employee's knowledge, productivity, discipline and attendance. The user of
this system is Sunchirin's supervisor, person who is responding in the employee
assessment. The interviewing is conducted with the user to ensure that this system is
meeting the user requirement. This system gives a lot of benefits to the company
because this system enables the company to assess the work performance and
contribution of the employee for the period of the assessment and enable the company to
evaluate the employee's strong and weak points and thus discover his/ her potential for
development in the company. Besides that, this system also makes the supervisor and
workers in Human Resource Department job become easier, faster and efficient
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
Ultra High-Speed Signaling and Return on Technology Investment (ROTI) for the Electrical Interconnects Sector
Get PDFDemand for smaller platform sizes with increasing bandwidth has driven crosstalk problems that prevent bus performance to scale with Moore’s Law. Several approaches to reduce crosstalk such as the use of shields, differential links, and equalizers have been rejected due to higher cost and power required to overcome the signal integrity impediments at Gigahertz data rates. Eigen-mode signaling based on modal decomposition techniques is the most recent method to mitigate crosstalk that can potentially satisfy the demand for higher data rates from modern technology industry.
The goal of this research is to allow maximum dense routing between packages on PCBs and to maximize bus bandwidth per unit volume for small form factors at high data rates. Crosstalk became a significant problem in interconnect designs that limit data rates and routing densities. A modal decomposition technique is an alternative approach to reduce crosstalk where each mode carries a single bit of data. Studies show this concept is capable of mitigating crosstalk with achievable dense routing and higher bandwidth. Nevertheless, the complexity of this method leads to higher cost in terms of power needed and additional circuit implementation that makes it too high to be an alternative method to replace traditional binary signaling. “Crosstalk Harnessed Signaling” (CHS) is another possible technique to reduce the complexity of modal decomposition. This technique was invented to encode data so that each bit is spread across multiple conductors such that crosstalk becomes part of the signal and can be removed during decode. A CHS concept is a possible choice to mitigate crosstalk with higher densely routing, higher bandwidth and less complexity compared to existing Eigen-mode signaling techniques.
In this research, 3D novel routing will be introduced to maximize cross-sectional density by \u3e10X and bandwidth gains of up to 31X for 4 layer matrix at DDR4 4266MT/s by implementing a CHS concept. In this proposal, the research will demonstrate the advantages of 3D CHS routing over 2D CHS routing with simulations that include performance, efficiency, speed, cost and power to maximize bandwidth per unit volume. This research will also consider other geometric configurations that can potentially increase the bandwidth per unit volume by altering trace thickness, 3D layout topologies, material properties and spacing. Cost is always a core factor to drive the acceptance of novel engineering concepts into the market. Thus, Return On Investment (ROI) studies will be part of this research and will include implementation of the CHS concept into small form factor devices, cables and connectors
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
A FPGA threshold-based fall detection algorithm for elderly fall monitoring with verilog
Get PDFFall is one of the leading causes of accidental or unintentional injury deaths worldwide due to serious injuries such as head traumas and hip fractures. As life expectancy improved, the rapid increase in aging population implied the need for the development of vital sign detector such as fall detector to help elderly in seeking for medical attention. Immediate rescue could prevent victims from the risk of suspension trauma and reduce the mortality rate among elderly population due to fall accident effectively. This paper presents the development of FPGA-based fall detection algorithm using a threshold-based analytical method. The proposed algorithm is to minimize the rate of false positive fall detection proposed from other researchers by including the non-fall events in the data analysis. Based on the performance evaluation, the proposed algorithm successfully achieved a sensitivity of 97.45% and specificity of 97.38%. The proposed algorithm was able to differentiate fall events and non-fall events effectively, except for fast lying and fall that ending with sitting position. The proposed algorithm shows a good result and the performance of the proposed algorithm can be further improved by using an additional gyroscope to detect the posture of the lower body part
