Construct intelligent groundwater level estimation models–A case study at Zhuoshui River Basin in Taiwan
No full text水資源匱乏係目前全球共同面臨的問題，臺灣受限於地形及降雨分佈不均，大部份雨水無法被利用，地下水因成本低廉，使其成為相當重要之可用水資源，如何有效的保育及補注地下水資源已成為重要的議題。濁水溪流域於扇頂上游地區及沖積扇扇頂為良好的地下水補注區，惟因大量抽取地下水的結果，引發嚴重地層下陷問題，為能即時掌握及預測地下水位變動趨勢，針對未來可能發生地層下陷之區域，提出因應對策，本研究蒐集與整理濁水溪流域內之主要河川流量站、地下水位站及雨量站等長期觀測資料，探討扇頂上游地區及沖積扇扇頂的降雨、河川流量、地下水間之關係，並建置地下水位推估模式，俾作為中部地區地層下陷防治之參據。
本研究採用2002至2011年地下水位、河川流量及降雨量之水文因子資料，透過相關性分析探討月平均地下水位與月平均水文因子之影響關係，並藉由人工智慧可處理複雜非線性問題之特性，應用倒傳遞類神經網路建構長時距地下水位推估模式；分析比較多種模式架構(不同輸入因子之組合)，結果顯示加入地下水位、雨量、流量及放流量之模式具有良好之推估表現(相關性大於0.8)；比較不同輸入因子組合對模式之改善率，作為地下水模擬模式之架構依據，並對建構完成的模擬模式之輸出項(地下水位)進行輸入項因子偏微分，藉由各輸入因子(雨量、流量、放流量)微分值之正負值及分佈情形，探討各輸入項於模式中與輸出項之正負向相關性；最後利用敏感度分析方法，探討雨量增加時，各站地下水位變動趨勢，進一步掌握地面水對地下水的影響機制，以有效運用於水資源管理。The shortage of water resources is a global problem. Due to the steep slopes and gradients of rivers, rapid flows and uneven spatio-temporal rainfall distributions in Taiwan, most of rainfalls flow directly into the ocean. Groundwater has become an important water resource because of its low cost and easy extraction. The upstream zone and the proximal alluvial fan of the Zhuoshui River are good natural groundwater recharge areas. However, the over extraction of groundwater occurs in the coastland of southwestern Taiwan, which results in serious land subsidence. To obtain and estimate the trend of groundwater level variations for making countermeasures in response to future possible land subsidence areas, this study establishes the relationships between rainfall, streamflow and groundwater level and constructs intelligent groundwater level estimation models for the upstream zone and the proximal alluvial fan of the Zhuoshui River basin based on long-term observed data of streamflow, groundwater level and rainfall, which can provide valuable information for the prevention and treatment of land subsidence.
In this study, data of groundwater level, streamflow and rainfall recorded in the Jhuoshuei River basin during 2002-2011 were obtained from the Water Resources Agency, Taiwan. The correlation analysis is first applied to building the relationships between monthly mean groundwater level and monthly mean streamflow as well as monthly mean rainfall. Artificial neural networks (ANNs), which resemble the human thinking process and possess a great ability to handle non-linear complex systems, are implemented to configure estimation models. By taking various input combinations into account, the most suitable estimation model of groundwater level can be established by the back propagation neural network (BPNN). The results demonstrate that the constructed estimation models can suitably estimate monthly groundwater level with high correlation (larger than 0.8).
For investigating the mechanism of groundwater level variation, a sensitivity analysis is then conducted on input variables of the estimation model by using the partial derivative method. Based on the distributions of the partial derivative values corresponding to each inputs (rainfall, streamflow and discharge), we establish the relationships between inputs and output (groundwater level) and identify rainfall as the most significant key factor. Then the impacts of rainfall amount on groundwater level variation can be obtained by the sensitivity analysis. The results of the proposed approach can be used as a valuable reference to water resources management and conservation.謝誌 II

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
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
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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn 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.
