Get PDFExperimental study on the behaviour of shrinkage and compaction between peat and modified peat soil
Get PDFPeat has a unique properties from other soil due to its organic content, which is more that 75%. Beside that, peat is also known as a problematic soil especially in engineering field for development sector as well as agricultural sector
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
Establishment an empirical relationship equation of magnitude conversion specific for Malaysia
Get PDFThis paper presents the results of the establishment an empirical relationship equation of magnitude conversion specific for Malaysia. The data for this study is taken from the earthquake catalogue and that is from Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology (IRIS), National Earthquake Information Centre (NEIC)-U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) and Malaysian Meteorological Service (MMS) within the latitude of 9 North and-3 South, and longitude of 122 East and 95 West from 1 January 1900 until 31 December 2006. There are two empirical relationship equation will be developed for Malaysia through regression method and there are empirical relationship equation of surface wave magnitude, M s constructed with records that have both surface wave magnitude, M s and body wave magnitude, m b and empirical relationship equation of moment magnitude, M w constructed with records that have both moment magnitude, M w and surface wave magnitude, M
Mechanical Properties of Endospermum diadenum sp. Grown in Sarawak
Get PDFTimber is a renewable resource and preferred as building and construction material due to physical, mechanical, and has an aesthetically performance. However, timber varies due to its own property and proposes. The quality of the timber has a strong influence on the quality and value of timber products. Therefore, this study will be conducted to learn about mechanical strength properties of Terbulan (Endospermum diadenum sp.) fast-growing timber according to BS 373: 1957 Methods of Testing Small Clear Specimens of Timber. Instead of strength property, this study will be determined the suitable utilization of Terbulan timber for the construction industry. The test will be conducted on both conditions which are green and air-dry condition. Generally, Terbulan species is a fast-growing timber in Sarawak. From the point of view, the strength properties parameters such as basic density, modulus of rupture (MOR), modulus of elasticity (MOE) and compressive strength of Terbulan timber will be reviewed to determine the effectiveness of the species in the construction field. As a result of the analysis, it is found that Terbulan timber at the air-dry condition for MOR, MOE and compression parallel to grain reported with 84.17 N/mm², 10217.79 N/mm² and 28.94 N/mm² respectively. Terbulan is categorized in light hardwood timber and conclusion, related products are confined at the beginning it is a steel and concrete replacement that is mostly used in structure such as light construction, furniture and joinery
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe 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
