Improvement of body welding accuracy percentage / Tajul Hasran Tumeran
Full text linkThis project is about the improvement of body welding accuracy percentage of Toyota IMV Hilux. In automotive industry, it is important to get fine and good fitting in assembly part process such as assemble interior trim panel, dashboard, seat, engine and others to follow tolerance and standard require for quality purpose. Therefore, this improvement project is to reach good body welding accuracy percentage in Welding Shop before entering Assembly Shop. Four M elements method: Man, Method, Machine, and Material have applied during the study and observation body welding accuracy percentage problem. Three major problems have been highlighted which are welding process, welding jig accuracy and welding jig total preventive maintenance (TPM). Body measurement by co-ordinate measuring machine (CMM), welding jig measurement by portable measuring machine (Vectoron), welding panel/part color map measurement by scanning machine (Perspectoron), design and drawing by Autocad software, kaizen welding standard operation process (SOP) and setup Total Preventive Maintenance (TPM) Welding Jig Team have been covered to improving body welding accuracy percentage. High body accuracy percentage achievement is important to avoid problem avoid panel assemble in assembly shop or assembly line. The benefit from this project is to eliminate problem regarding jig and body fitting that means to achieve or reduce complete vehicle defect production unit (CV DPU). The most important things of this project are to give better services to increase quality, manufacturer productivity and also to decrease production cost
Speaking clock / Noor Hawa Hasran and Rahidah Mahma
Full text linkThis speaking clock project is formed by a simple microprocessor controller system. The system is used to process data from the real time clock. A computer is a device to process data automatically. Processing consists of storing data in memory, performing logical operation and taking decisions based on a data. Some computer are used to operate such devices as video recorder or irl ocks., Most of the actual work is done by the central processing unit (CPU). The CPU consists of a single integrated circuit; a microprocessor. This is driven by an astable circuit. This project describes how the allophone speech system can be used to produced a speaking clock which may be invaluable to a blind person or simply a novelty clock demonstrating the use of current electronic devices. The majority of the SP0256AL speech synthesiserhave been used with this project
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
A review on the toxicity of insecticides against brown planthopper (Nilaparvata lugens) in paddy / Mohd Hasmirul Hasran
Full text linkThe brown planthopper (BPH), Nilaparvata lugens is the main pest of paddy in Asian region. The usage of chemical insecticides is widely and heavily by the farmers in order to control BPH. Therefore, to ensure this will not happen, farmers used chemical to control the outbreaks of brown plant hopper. High rates of insecticide application could kill natural enemies which known as beneficial insect in paddy fields. There are examples of the common insecticides use to control BPH which are Carbofuron, Imidacloprid and Chlorpyrifos. Some studies proved that Carbofuron and imidacloprid are the most effective insecticides to control BPH population as compared to chlorpyrifos. Carbofuron is the effective insecticides and imidacloprid less effective in controlling the BPH. Carbofuron is highly toxic and imidacloprid is moderate toxic to BPH. Chlorpyrifos is the less toxic to the BPH. The resistance towards all these insecticides still low. In some countries in Asia have no reported issues about the resistance of BPH towards all these insecticides but for some countries have reported that the level of resistance is still low. Thus, the effective insecticides among theseinsecticides is Carbofuron because not only reducing massive amount of BPH population and also increase the yield for paddy
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
