Variations on the Author
No full text“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
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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

Analysis of the Tradeoff Between Network Lifetime and k-connectivity in WSNs
No full text26th Telecommunications Forum (TELFOR) -- NOV 20-21, 2018 -- Belgrade, SERBIAReliability and network lifetime maximization are two important objectives when designing a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN). However, these two are conflicting objectives. To increase the reliability maintaining k-connectivity is necessary, yet, for higher k values transmission power should be kept at the maximum which reduces the lifetime. In this study we investigate the reliability versus lifetime tradeoff.Telecommunicat Soc, Univ Belgrade, Sch Elect Engn, IEEE Serbia & Montenegro COM Chapter, Telekom Serbija a d, Minist Trade Tousim & Telecommunicat, VLATACOM d o o, ERICSSON, IRITEL a d BEOGRAD, MAKSNET Telekomunikacije, Minist Educ Sci & Technol Dev, MDS, Publ PTT Enterprise Srbija, Republ Agcy Elect Communicat Serbia, ROAMING Networks, TERI Engn, VIP Mobile, CISCO, IEEE Serbia & Montenegro Sect, KAPSCH, Serbian Natl Register of Internet Domain Names, IEEE Commun Soc Serbia & Montenegro Chapter, IEEE Reg 8, mtsTUBITAKTurkiye Bilimsel ve Teknolojik Arastirma Kurumu (TUBITAK) [113E470]Orhan Dagdeviren and Vahid Khalilpour Akram thank to TUBITAK for grant number 113E470
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe 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
Prediction of compressibility parameters of the soils using artificial neural network
No full textThe compression index and recompression index are one of the important compressibility parameters to determine the settlement calculation for fine-grained soil layers. These parameters can be determined by carrying out laboratory oedometer test on undisturbed samples; however, the test is quite time-consuming and expensive. Therefore, many empirical formulas based on regression analysis have been presented to estimate the compressibility parameters using soil index properties. In this paper, an artificial neural network (ANN) model is suggested for prediction of compressibility parameters from basic soil properties. For this purpose, the input parameters are selected as the natural water content, initial void ratio, liquid limit and plasticity index. In this model, two output parameters, including compression index and recompression index, are predicted in a combined network structure. As the result of the study, proposed ANN model is successful for the prediction of the compression index, however the predicted recompression index values are not satisfying compared to the compression index
Modelling contiki-based IoT systems
No full text6th Symposium on Languages, Applications and Technologies, SLATE 2017 -- 26 June 2017 through 27 June 2017 -- 131023In this paper, we investigate how model-driven engineering (MDE) of Internet of Things (IoT) systems and Wireless-Sensor Networks (WSN) can be supported and introduce a domain-specific metamodel for modeling such systems based on the well-known Contiki operating system. The unique lightweight thread structure of Contiki makes it more preferable in the implementation of new IoT systems instead of many other existing platforms. Although some MDE approaches exist for IoT systems and WSNs, currently there is no study which addresses the modelling according to the specifications of Contiki platform. The work presented in this paper aims at filling this gap and covers the development of both a modeling language syntax and a graphical modeling environment for the MDE of IoTs according to event-driven mechanism and protothread architecture of Contiki. Use of the proposed modeling language is demonstrated with including the development of an IoT system for forest fire detection. © Caglar Durmaz, Moharram Challenger, Orhan Dagdeviren, and Geylani Kardas115E449 Türkiye Bilimsel ve Teknolojik Araştirma Kurumu, TÜBITAK* Authors would like to thank the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TUBITAK) Electric, Electronic and Informatics Research Group (EEEAG) for covering SLATE conference attendance and paper presentation expenses under the project grant 115E449. -
