Smart prosthetic hand / Muhammad Azri Abdul Basir, Muhammad Farid Abdul Khalid and Muhammad Aiman Abdul Aziz
Full text linkLifix Sdn Bhd is a company that produces advance prosthesis device regarding to hand limb problems which consist technology involvement that can behave like a real hand. Such technology example is muscle sensor which can detect muscle signal or electromyography (EMG). In definition, electromyography or EMG is a study of muscle electrical signals. Sometimes it is known as myoelectric activity. When a muscle tissue makes some movements, it will produce electrical potential similar to the way nerves do and the name given to these electrical signals is the muscle action potential. Lifix is created based on the agreement among three members who are interested to have a strong market position in Malaysia. Lifix company focusing on rehabilitation technology and trying to reduce the cost for such technology that already existed in markets. With the product, Lifix can help amputee victims around Malaysia peninsular related to loss of hand. This product can mimic several real hand movements and can perform simple tasks such as writing, pointing and do hand symbols
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
Summary of research results, management recommendations and farmer workshops from cacao agroforestry landscapes in Indonesia
No full textSoftcover, 17,6x25Cacao agroforestry systems are common in Indonesia, but differences in local management affect
biodiversity and related ecosystem services. Importantly, birds and bats alike strongly contribute
to biological pest control in cacao, thereby promoting yields and sustainable farming. Our findings
from many years of ecological field research, in close collaboration with Indonesian cacao farmers,
are summarized and discussed in this bilingual book, written in both English and Indonesian. It is
designed to communicate scientific information as well as to facilitate transdisciplinary discussions
and more biodiversity-friendly management in tropical agroforestry systems.
We consider this book as a tool to improve the collaboration of local communities, farmers and
scientists, as well as to improve the application of scientific knowledge in agricultural practice -
particularly in tropical land use areas.
Bea Maas, the first author of this book, is postdoctoral researcher at the University of Vienna
(Austria), working in the fields of biology, ecology and conservation. She conducted the research and
workshops presented here in close collaboration and with support from the University of Göttingen
(Germany) and the University of Tadulako (Indonesia).Sistem agroforestri kakao adalah hal umum di Indonesia, tetapi perbedaan pengelolaan setempat
akan mempengaruhi keanekaragaman hayati dan layanan ekosistem. Terutama, burung dan kelelawar
sama-sama memberikan kontribusi tinggi pada pengendalian hama biologis di kakao, sehingga
dapat meningkatkan hasil panen dan pertanian yang berkelanjutan. Temuan kami dari penelitian
lapangan ekologi bertahun-tahun, yang bekerjasama erat dengan petani kakao Indonesia, dirangkum
dan dibahas dalam buku bilingual ini, tertulis dalam bahasa Inggris dan bahasa Indonesia. Buku
ini dirancang untuk mengkomunikasikan informasi ilmiah dan juga untuk memfasilitasi diskusi
transdisipliner dan pengelolaan keanekaragaman hayati yang ramah pada sistem agroforestri tropis.
Kami menganggap buku ini sebagai alat untuk meningkatkan kolaborasi masyarakat lokal, petani
dan ilmuwan, serta untuk meningkatkan penerapan pengetahuan ilmiah dalam praktik pertanian -
terutama di wilayah penggunaan lahan tropis.

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
