Car-4-U: Web based car purchasing search system / Deepak Sharma Terlok Chand
Full text linkThis report is about a web based car purchasing search system Car - 4 - U. Car - 4 - U consists of three main modules which are the administrator module, the dealer module and the public user module. The administrator module is for the developer to maintain the system, hence a user name and password will be needed to log in. A developer will be able to add new data regarding cars, delete any unwanted or purchased cars, update existing data, change password and view the feedback entered by users in the administrator module. The dealer module is for the car dealers to be able to input the data of the vehicles for sale, update data of any cars up for sale, or even to remove the vehicles that are already sold. The third module, the public user module, is for users in general. Users are able to search by entering a keyword into the form and the page will display the results. Car - 4 - U does not carry out sale or purchasing of cars via the web, but only acts as the middleman between the interested buyers and the respective car dealers. There are also added features in Car- 4- U. One of them is the random search. By just clicking on the random button, data of a randomly chosen car will be displayed. Another feature is the feedback page. Users are able to evaluate the system or provide any suggestions, which will help the administrator in maintaining and further improving the website. The main reason for choosing the Internet approach is because of the popularity and benefits of a web application. It is definitely faster and easier to search for your car via the web rather than to drive around the whole country looking for your dream car. Abstract Besides that, with tools like Microsoft FrontPage98, an attractive web application can be created. Furthermore, with its administrator module as part of the system, a developer can easily enhance the performance of the system from time to time. Finally, Car - 4 - U is expected to help users in accommodating to the users time schedule and convenience in searching for the perfect vehicle
Analytical modeling of scaling the ion-implanted gallium nitrate MESFET
Full text linkIn this project, an analytical modeling of scaling the ion-implanted Gallium nitrate MESFET has been presented. The model has been developed to obtain high power aided efficiency and high frequency performance which can be optimized by scaling the device for miniaturization. Device parameters such as drain-source current and threshold voltage are plotted and discussed with respect to scaling factor to evaluate the device parameter for a comparative study of long channel and short channel gallium nitrate device. The scaling tool on semiconductor device shows the device performance at their miniaturization stage, but all electrical parameters ultimately saturate up to certain range of device scaling. In this model, the results also show the saturation of electrical parameters, which justify the proposed analytical model behaves same nature with other the scaling modeling.by Deepak sharma Ram kamalIncludes bibliographical references (leaves 52-57
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
Research Article Formulation Development and Evaluation of Fast Disintegrating Tablets of Salbutamol Sulphate, Cetirizine Hydrochloride in Combined Pharmaceutical Dosage Form: A New Era in Novel Drug Delivery for Pediatrics and Geriatrics
Full text linkCopyright © 2015 Deepak Sharma et al.This is an open access article distributed under the Creative CommonsAttribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. The objective of the present study was to prepare the fast disintegrating tablet of Salbutamol Sulphate, Cetirizine Hydrochloride in combined tablet dosage form for respiratory disorders such as bronchitis, asthma, and coughing for pediatrics and geriatrics. The tablets were prepared by direct compression technique. Superdisintegrant such as Sodium Starch Glycolate was optimized as 4 % on the basis of least disintegration time. Different binders such as MCC and PVP K-30 were optimized along with optimized superdisintegrant concentration. 1 % MCC was selected as optimum binder concentration on the basis of least disintegration time. The tablets were evaluated for hardness, friability, weight variation, wetting time, disintegration time, and drug content uniformity. Optimized formulation was further evaluated by in vitro dissolution test, drug-excipient compatibility, and accelerated stability study. Percent weight variation and content uniformity were within the acceptable limit.The friability was less than 1%.The wetting time and disintegration time were practically good for all formulations. FTIR studies and accelerated stability study showed that there was no interaction between the drug and excipients. It was concluded that, by employing commonly available pharmaceutical excipients such as superdisintegrants, hydrophilic and swellable excipients and proper filler, a fast disintegrating tablet of Salbutamo
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
