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
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
Design And Simulation Of A High Thrust Linear Oscillatory Actuator
Full text linkAn actuator is widely used in many applications either in automation, transportation, productions, robotics, logistics, etc. There are many types of actuator available in the market. An actuator is a device that converts energy into limited mechanical motion. The form of energy could be electric, hydraulic or pneumatic. Electric actuator is much superior compare to other energy form. It gives efficiency, controllability, cost and environmental safety.
This thesis is a study on designing a linear oscillatory actuator based on electromagnetic theory. The aim of this study is to develop a linear oscillatory actuator for mechanical cutter with high thrust. Linear oscillatory actuator (LOA) is a type of linear actuator whereby its motion is in single axis and moves continuously. In this research, the design starts from magnetic analysis using Finite Element Method (FEM). This software can simulate the flux density, flux flow, thrust, cogging force, normal force on the element and material in the motor including electromagnet element. The LOA was designed to have a view of its structure before simulate the design by Microcal Origin software. Then, simulation was done to obtain the best thrust, cogging force and normal force value. Few modifications on the structure are done during this simulation to identify the highest thrust, lowest cogging force and normal force.
Simulations of all designed modelling are compared. Future recommendation has been provided to help other researcher for further development of this LOA
Modeling and Simulation of Small Scale Microgrid System
No full textA microgrid systems is a new technology for improving reliability and providing alternative energy supplies to the grid system. Low voltage faults in the system are one of the critical issues that require distributed generating sources to disconnect from grid provide energy to the load. Therefore the techniques used in the microgrid system with microsoures can be important in reducing the problems in the grid system. In this paper two different microsources photovoltaic (PV) and wind turbine (WT) with battery storage for a small scale microgrid system are simulated. The aim is to observe the effect of microsources parameter on the outputs at the point of common coupling. Most of the results can be used for develop a small scale microgrid system for practical applications
Forecasting load demand using artificial neural network (ANN) / Alias Khamis
No full textRecently, Artificial Neural Network is widely used in intelligent computational technology for data compression, pattern recognition and machine learning. This paper presents the development of artificial neural network (ANN) using Back-propagation to forecast the load demand at Maintenance Building at UiTM Shah Alam campus. The data is taken from the Maintenance Department that has installed remote metering system. The programme was developed using Borland C++ version 5.02
