    Full text link
    In the automotive field, the development of motorcycle ignition systems has been able to improve engine performance more fuel efficient. TCI has the advantage of transferring high voltage to the spark plug, the results issued from TCI are greater than the CDI system. To find out the results of motorcycle performance, namely the TCI ignition system and spark plugs on performance and exhaust emissions from motorcycles that use fuels such as Premium Ron 80, Pertalite Ron 90, and Pertamax Ron 92. Fuels that have octane that matches the bicycle motorcycles, in addition to the better performance of motorcycle engines, the fuel consumption is also more economical. In this study there are three variables, namely variations in rpm, performance and exhaust emissions. The results of the study of motorcycles that use the Ron 92 Pertamax fuel have far more torque and power than those that use the Ron 80 premium fuel and the pertalite Ron 90, while the HC levels produced by Ron 80 and 90 fuels tend to increase more than Ron fuel 92 which is between 65 - 228 ppm. CO2 levels were 12.53% while Pertamax was 10.74%, and pertalite was 11.17%, while the CO content produced was small at 3750 rpm resulting CO levels of 0.08 ppm. It can be concluded that the ignition produced is more stable which uses Pertamax fuel compared to using premium and pertalite fuel

    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

    “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

    Studi Komparatif Efektivitas Perpindahan Kalor dengan Pengaturan Laju Aliran Fluida Pendingin Heat Exchanger Jenis Plate Aliran Searah

    Pada penelitian ini akan melakukan eksperimen untuk melihat pengaruh laju aliran terhadap efektivitas perpindahan panas pada penukar kalor aliran searah jenis plate. Dalam penelitian ini, penulis akan melihat pengaruh variasi laju aliran air pendingin terhadap efektifitas perpindahan panas  pada penukar kalor jenis Plate aliran searah dengan mempertahankan laju aliran fluida yang didinginkan (fluida panas). Variasi laju aliran massa untuk aliran air pendingin adalah 50 gr/sec, 40 gr/sec dan 30 gr/sec. Sedangkan untuk laju aliran air panasnya dipertahankan tetap untuk setiap variasi laju aliran air pendingin yaitu 50 gr/sec. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk  mengetahui pada laju aliran berapa fluida pendingin yang paling optimal perpindahan panasnya pada aliran searah dengan harapan untuk menjadi sebuah rekomendasi untuk penyetingan laju aliran fluida untuk mendapatkan efektifitas perpindahan panas pada penukar kalor jenis Plate yang aliran fluidanya searah. Dari hasil penelitian didapatkan efektivitas penukar kalor jenis Plate Heat Exchanger aliran searah nilai efektivitas penukar kalor yang paling besar adalah pada laju aliran massa sebesar 50 gr/sec. Sedangkan kenaikan efektivitas penukar kalor pada Plate Heat Exchanger aliran searah berada pada laju aliran massa 40 gr/sec. Dalam penelitian ini menunjukan bahwa ada nilai optimum laju aliran massa tertentu yang bisa menyebabkan kenaikan efektivitas penukar kalor sangat tajam

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    We 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

    PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF BOILER FEED WATER PUMP SULZER AT PLTU AT PT INDONESIA CHEMICAL ALUMINA

    In this research, boiler feed water pump at PLTU PT.ICA has a flow rate capacity of 85 m3 / h which is installed sporadically with a motor to drive the pump. This pump has an important role and the main pump for filling feed water from dearator into the steam drum (boler) which is always used for 2 years with varying flow rates.  Data needed for evaluation include pressure and temperature of the suction, pressure and temperature of the discharge, flow rate and electric current. The data were taken starting in January to Maret 2019. Data processing was performed using a centrifugal pump calculations includes head, water horse power  (whp), brake horse power (bhp) and efficiency presented in tables and graphs using Microsoft Excel. Boiler feed water pump sulzer during operations 3 months amounted the highest head amounted 1212,23 m, the highest whp amounted 223,25 kw, the highest bhp amounted 237,21 kw and the highest efficiency amounted 95,67 %, while the lowest head amounted 928,53 m, the lowest whp amounted 72,68 kw, the lowes bhp amounted 197,14 kw and thelowest efficiency amounted 36,85 %. Change of performance bfp occur due to changes flow rate and pressure suction which adjust operational needs

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    Full text link
    We 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 text
    We 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
