Conserving the character of Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman / Azmi Abdul Rahman
Get PDFWe often see the visualisation of a major project in
the city or even the renewal development of a major
street or area. But what will happen, as usual, to
portions of the project when they are parcelled out
to different developers to undertake, and what will
happen to the overall scheme in say thirty or forty
years' time when every development is completed.
The forces at work in our cities are so diverse, and
the rate of social change has accelerated so rapidly,
that it is most unlikely that such a large project, if
it is constructed at all, will end up looking like the
original design. All too often, the merij. of the
published design derives from the architecture of the
proposed buildings, rather than from any underlying
coherence in the plan itself. What if the building is
not placed at precisely the angle shown in the drawings?
What if materials vary; what if changes in architectural
taste occur? What if changes in function or economics
force major changes in size or shape of buildings? Will
the design still make sense..
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
Development of graphical user interface for economic dispatch problem / Abdul Rahman Abas Azmi
No full textThe electric power system is considered the backbone of modern information society. Many other infrastructures and services including telephone, computing, banking, etc will not be operating properly without safe, reliable and economic supply of electricity. Therefore, the power system infrastructure is considered the most critical one and its operating needs to be assured on a daily basis. Simulation programs like Power Dispatch Simulator are essential for teaching undergraduate students about the basic of power system engineering. Moreover, this paper presents a window-based educational simulator with user-friendly graphical user interface (GUI) for the education of power system engineering for solving economic dispatch (ED) problems. In the developed simulator, users can select the number of generator will be used and set the generators either with limit or without limit and also without the losses.
