    Energy Saving Analysis and Potential Schemes for Taiwan Inland Transportation

    交通運輸是維繫整個國家經濟的命脈,但近年來能源的逐漸匱乏與全球暖化相關議題越來越重要,石化燃料的燃燒必定伴隨著溫室氣體的排放,所以交通運輸的能源消耗減量就隨之受到重視。 但環顧台灣各研究單位中,對整體台灣交通運輸的整體耗能及節能統計的資料較為缺乏,大部分都是偏重在各車種新技術的開發,或是侷限於某一小區域的單一交通方式所做的統計,皆無法有效反應出台灣總體交通運輸的情況,故本研究就蒐集所有能加以應用之交通資料,包含交通部統計處及運研所等;再加入取自經濟部能源局及相關論文的能源消耗的因子,統計分析載人運具及貨運的總延人公里及延噸公里,還有現在消耗在交通運輸上的能源消費量。 經過計算後,顯示載人運具類以自用小客車在台灣交通運輸中的佔比最高,而且其能源密度亦是所有車種中最耗能的,故部分的節能成效是最大的;貨運類則以營業用大貨車的比重最大,佔了貨運部門的七成以上。 最後進行許多最新技術的搜索,並歸納採取可推行的策略,包含運具轉換及新式車種的應用(如油電混合車、電動車等),依照一定的配比去加以計算出節能量,並討論各種方案的背景及可行性。Transportation plays a certain role in country economic. Recently, energy shortage and global warming were becoming serious problems. Since combustion of fossil fuels for energy results in greenhouse gas increasing, the issue of energy saving in transportation gradually gets attention. Most of the research topics in Taiwan are focus on development of new technology for cars or statistics of only few modes of transportation in a local region, but lack of the statistical data of total energy using and saving of Taiwan transportation, and can’t revealed the overall situation of Taiwan transportation clearly. Thus, this study collected all the usable data of transportation included department of statistics and institute of transportation, MOTC, Bureau of Energy, MOEA and journals about factors of energy consumption, statistical analysis of passenger-kilometers and ton-kilometers, and energy consumption of transportation. The result of this study shows that reducing the energy consumption of ordinary light vehicles, account for the highest proportion and most energy-consuming of all types of passenger vehicles in Taiwan, is most efficient way to save energy. As business heavy trucks is more than seventy percent of freight vehicles. After searched and reviewed the latest articles. Two strategies have been proposed: transferring activity structures and application of new types of car( HEV, BEV). At last, we compared with different proportionate distribution and calculated the amount of energy saved to find the available strategies

    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.
