    This abstract introduces a groundbreaking Smart Air Mobility Project tailored for Emergency Response Vehicles (ERV), utilizing Electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing (eVTOL) technology. Recognizing the urgent need for efficient emergency response, the project employs cutting-edge eVTOLs to overcome infrastructure constraints and enhance service delivery. ERV eVTOLs, electrically powered and AI-governed, ensure swift deployment independent of road networks. Advanced algorithms enhance response times, adapting dynamically to emergencies. Smart technologies enable real-time monitoring, data analytics, and adaptive route planning, fostering a responsive emergency ecosystem. Key features include a specialized charging infrastructure, seamless coordination with emergency services, and collaboration with regulatory bodies. The project envisions eVTOLs revolutionizing emergency medical services, search and rescue, and disaster relief, setting a new standard for agility and sustainability. By prioritizing collaboration with regulators, the project aims to establish safety protocols, ensuring the integration of eVTOLs into emergency response systems. In summary, the Smart Air Mobility Project for Emergency Response aims to transform emergency services, emphasizing the pivotal role of eVTOLs in ensuring rapid, sustainable, and effective response, ultimately enhancing the safety and well-being of communities in need

    Creating environmentally friendly agriculture is an impediment to our country's economy. Our nation's reliance on imported food is excessive. As a result, the problem can be solved by using hydroponic products, which have the ability to grow crops. This hydroponic technology is designed primarily for indoor use. This device is both space-saving and inexpensive to operate. It also contains information and guidelines on hydroponics as well as instructions to use the product. Given its straightforward design, this product is excellent for use inside the home for modern applications. The main use of this item is not only to care for plants, but it may also improve the ambiance of a space since users can use it as a decorative object. A survey of 30 participants was done using questionnaires, followed by an observation at an urban agriculture site. As a result, the definitive design for educational hydroponics has been completed

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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 PDF
    We 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 PDF
    We 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 text
    We 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
