    Greenhouse gas emissions prediction of an IoT taxi fleet

    With the advancement of technology, more and more things, like vehicles, are connected through the internet. Useful data could be collected from the sensors on the vehicles and transmitted via the internet. The data could then be analyzed. How to make use of the data is an issue. This study focused on developing a greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions prediction model for an autonomous IoT taxi fleet. This study involved extracting data from an autonomous IoT taxi fleet, processing the data, and producing a machine learning model for the data. Traffic simulations were performed to generate data in this study because not many cars on the road today are connected to the internet. The data was processed in Python, and a machine learning model was produced using Tensorflow. The results showed that a vehicle’s sensor data like vehicle position, speed, waiting time, acceleration, fuel and noise could be used to predict a vehicle’s GHG emissions. Another focus of this study was to make the whole procedure an IoT lab that educates future students about IoT and real-world problem solving. Instructive tutorials were developed. The machine learning program was made into a Jupyter Notebook document with educational texts before each code block. Students were recruited to test the educational effectiveness of the lab.U of I Only Restriction set for Item 116807 on 2020-12-22T20:45:26Z with date by [email protected] by Janice Progen ([email protected]) on 2020-12-22T21:13:35Z No. of bitstreams: 1 FA20-ECE499-Thesis-Chang, Yu-Ju.pdf: 1147330 bytes, checksum: ebd71f98970f3044f3a4c1b5c1cba907 (MD5)Approved for entry into archive by James Hutchinson ([email protected]) on 2021-01-04T14:22:00Z (GMT) No. of bitstreams: 1 FA20-ECE499-Thesis-Chang, Yu-Ju.pdf: 1147330 bytes, checksum: ebd71f98970f3044f3a4c1b5c1cba907 (MD5)Made available in DSpace on 2021-01-04T14:22:00Z (GMT).

    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

    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
