    90 HalamanTanah mempunyai peran yang sangat penting dalam konstruksi sebuah bangunan, manfaat utama tanah adalah sebagai pendukung pondasi bangunan, oleh karena itu, dilakukan pengujian untuk mengetahui pengaruh derajat kejenuhan tanah gambut terhadap uji konsolidasi. Dalam penelitian ini, tanah yang di uji merupakan tanah gambut yang diambil dari jalan Pantai Labu, Emplasmen Kuala Namu, Kecamatan Lubuk Pakam, Kabupaten Deli Serdang. Pengujian ini dilakukan langsung di laboratorium Mekanika Tanah Universitas Katolik Santo Thomas, Medan. Dari hasil pengujian yang dilakukan, pengaruh derajat kejenuhan tanah lempung terhadap penurunan tanah yang diambil dari daerah Pantai Labu, Emplasmen Kuala Namu, Kecamatan Lubuk Pakam, Kabupaten Deli Serdang. Sampel A derajat kejenuhan 20%, sampel B derajat kejenuhan 25%, dan sampel C derajat kejenuhan 30%, Berdasarkan hasil pengujian konsolidasi didapatkan pada kondisi sampel A memiliki derajat kejenuhan sebesar 20 % nilai koefisien konsolidasi (Cv) 0,067 cm2/detik, nilai indeks pemampatan (Cc) 0,059 dan nilai koefisien konsolidasi (av) 0,017 cm2/kg. Sampel B memiliki nilai derajat kejenuhan sebesar 25 %, nilai koefisien konsolidasi (Cv) 0,061 cm2/detik, nilai indeks pemampatan (Cc) 0,048 dan nilai koefisien konsolidasi (av) 0,026 cm2/kg. Sampel C memiliki derajat kejenuhan 30 %, nilai koefisien konsolidasi (Cv) 0,051 cm2/detik, nilai indeks pemampatan (Cc) 0,082 dan nilai koefisien konsolidasi (av) 0,024 cm2/kg. dan didapatkan penurunan, sampel A dengan derajat kejenuhan 20 % mengalami penurunan sebesar 0,176 cm dengan pengembangan 0,45%, sampel B dengan derajat kejenuhan 25 % mengalami penurunan sebesar 0,146 cm dengan pengembangan 0,3%, dan sampel C derajat kejenuhan 30 % mengalami penurunan sebesar 0,369 cm dengan pengembangan 0,28% Soil has a very important role in the construction of a building, the main benefit of soil is as a support for building foundations, therefore, tests were carried out to determine the effect of the degree of saturation of peat soil on the consolidation test. In this research, the soil tested was peat soil taken from Jalan Pantai Labu, Emplasmen Kuala Namu, Lubuk Pakam District, Deli Serdang Regency. This test was carried out directly in the Soil Mechanics laboratory at Santo Thomas Catholic University, Medan. From the results of the tests carried out, the effect of the degree of clay soil saturation on soil subsidence was taken from the Labu Beach area, Kuala Namu Emplasm, Lubuk Pakam District, Deli Serdang Regency. Sample A has a degree of saturation of 20%, sample B has a degree of saturation of 25%, and sample C has a degree of saturation of 30%. Based on the results of the consolidation test, it was found that in the condition that sample A had a degree of saturation of 20%, the value of the consolidation coefficient (Cv) was 0.067 cm2/second, the compression index (Cc) value is 0.059 and the consolidation coefficient value (ain) 0,017 cm2/kg. Sample B has a degree of saturation value of 25%, a consolidation coefficient (Cv) value of 0.061 cm2/second, the compression index (Cc) value is 0.048 and the consolidation coefficient value (ain) 0,026 cm2/kg. Sample C has a degree of saturation of 30%, a consolidation coefficient (Cv) value of 0.051 cm2/second, compression index (Cc) value 0.082 and consolidation coefficient value (ain) 0,024 cm2/kg. and a decrease was obtained, sample A with a degree of saturation of 20% experienced a decrease of 0.176 cm with an expansion of 0.45%, sample B with a degree of saturation of 25% experienced a decrease of 0.146 cm with an expansion of 0.3%, and sample C experienced a degree of saturation of 30%. decrease of 0.369 cm with expansion of 0.28%

    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

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    Full text link
    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

    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

    Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902

    No full text
    In Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
