No full textA clever combination of drawing and simple text to tell a good story of relationship, including concern, struggle, separation, and the refinding of each other. Part of the book's delight lies in the expressive shapes that this reddish-brown line takes. I am glad to have found this book.

Eldad Hadani's stories
Full text linkNadrabin dr Leopold Fischer preveo je tekst "Priče Eldada Hadani-a" prema izdanju knjige A. Epstein "Eldad Hadani Seine Berichte uber die X. Stamm e und deren Ritus nach Handschriften und alten Drucken" (Izveštaji Eldada Hadanija o deset plemena i njihovim obredima prema rukopisima i starim otiscima), Pressburg 1891, str. 4. Eldad ben Mahli ha-Dani (oko 851 - oko 900) bio je jevrejski trgovac, putnik i filolog iz devetog veka. Iako je verovatno bio poreklom iz južne Arabije, on se izjašnjavao kao građanin "nezavisne jevrejske države" u istočnoj Africi, u kojoj su živeli ljudi koji tvrde da potiču od izgubljenih plemena Dan, Ašer, Gad i Naftali. Eldad je posetio Vaviloniju, Kajruan i Iberiju, gde je širio fantastične izveštaje o deset izgubljenih plemena i Halahi za koji je tvrdio da ju je doneo iz rodne zemlje. U ovom tekstu opisuje način života i običaje jednog od deset izgubljenih izrealskih plemena - plemenu Dan.Senior rabbi Dr. Leopold Fischer translated "Eldad Hadani's Stories" according to the edition of A. Epstein's book "Eldad Hadani Seine Berichte uber die X. Stamm e und Deren Ritus Nach Handschriften und alten Drucken" (Eldad Hadani's reports on the ten tribes and their rites according to manuscripts and old prints), Pressburg 1891, p. 4. Eldad ben Mahli ha-Dani (c. 851 - c. 900) was a Jewish merchant, traveler, and philologist from the ninth century. Although he was probably originally from southern Arabia, he declared himself a citizen of an "independent Jewish state" in East Africa, inhabited by people who claim to be descended from the lost tribes of Dan, Asher, Gad, and Naftali. Eldad visited Babylonia, Kairouan, and Iberia, where he spread fantastic reports about ten lost tribes and Halakha, which he claimed to have brought from his homeland. In this text, he describes the way of life and customs of one of the ten lost Israeli tribes - the Dan tribe

Determinants of firm's profitability in Malaysian industrial sector/ Siti Nadzirah Hadani
Full text linkThis study sought to study what are the determinants of firms' profitability in Malaysia focusing on industrial sector. Basically, industrial sector can be defined as the companies that manufacture materials or components into new products for industrial use. In 2016, industry contributed approximately 35.68 percent in the gross domestic product (GDP) in Malaysia. Some examples of sectors in industry are oil and gas, electronics and electrical appliances. This study is focusing to evaluate what is the factor that influencing the firm profitability as profitability can be described as the final measure of economic success achieved by a firm in relation to the capital that has been invested. The variable that will be included in this study are working capital management, liquidity, financial leverage, and firm size. The study considered firms that have been listed in Bursa Malaysia and utilized secondary data obtained from the period 2008-2017
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
Model reference adaptive control based on MLP network for dynamic system
No full text1st Regional Conference on Applied and Engineering Mathematics (RCAEM-I) 2010 organized by Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP) and co-organized by Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) & Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM), 2nd - 3rd June 2010 at Eastern & Oriental Hotel, Penang.This paper presents the Model Reference Adaptive Control based on Multi Layered Perceptron (MLP) Network. The error between the output of the plant and the reference model is used to adapt the controller parameters. The Reference Model Adaptive Control (MRAC) will be used to control a time varying system where the performance specifications are given in terms of a reference model. The MLP is used for function approximation and its weights can be adjusted to model any function up to certain accuracy from input to output using the Recursive Least Square (RLS) algorithm. Simulation results show that the controller is adequate to control the system with unpredictable conditions and disturbances
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
