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
Assessment on dampness growth in UiTM Perak Building / Muhamad Iskandar Ismail
Get PDFMalaysia is a nation that is encounters a tropical rainforest climate. Hot weather and rain are the two components that could end the beauty of the building and other negative impressions. The buildings who are located with nearest of water sources cause a dampness growth more seriously. It is one of factors of failure of building and damage that must be taken seriously to be maintenance. The sources and sign of dampness growth need to be analysed early before it become more serious problems to building and users. The purpose of this study is to aim an assessment on dampness growth in UITM Perak. The selection spot of dampness divided into three places at the case study for getting a sign of dampness growth. After a study through the observation with uses instruments investigation like moisture meter and thermo hygro- meter, the sign of dampness growth can be detected. The dampness influence by humidity of the material caused by exposed to high humidity
atmosphere and higher in humidity of material that influence the sign of dampness. The higher of humidity content, the higher of dampness growth. Therefore, the maintenance staff and user of the building must take an early action and users must do complaint rapid and efficiency to the maintenance staff to avoid the dampness growth become serious
The installation of drainage system and staircase for 8 lot double storeys terrace at Laman Annur, Panji, Kota Bharu, Kelantan / Muhamad Iskandar Ismail
No full textPractical training course is one of core subject which is be completed by student to finish the last semester of Diploma in Building Surveying. Students should be chosen any company that to find their practical training which is concerned with their programmed. I have selected the Non-Government Department to conduct the practical training. The company was chosen is Pasir Puteh Development Corporation Sdn. Bhd. I have placed at site construction project at laman An-Nur Mukim Pauh Panji Kota Bharu to conduct practical training. The site supervisor, Mr Zulkefli Bin Husin as a leader in this department had been appointed to be my supervisor during the practical training. During the practical training, I was exposed to the real situation of the construction site for double storey terrace house and do a report of the drainage and staircase based on the site during practical training. I also do the progress report on the site construction to present in project meeting. This project started at 24 October 2011 and will expect finish 23 October 2013. Practical training will be end after four months the students completed the training. Finally, the student must be prepared a report according to the topics they are choose that relevant to the work construction during the practical training that have been done
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
