Design of a Smart phone Based Body Sensor for Long-term Healthcare Monitoring
No full textA wearable, telemetric, biosignal monitoring device (so-called body sensor) for long-term, continuous healthcare monitoring is presented in this paper. The body sensor is worn across the chest of patient by using a commercial available Polar strap, for recording beat-to-beat heart pulsation. The body sensor is connected to a smart phone through Bluetooth channel. The smart phone is used to compensate the memory and computation power constraints of the body sensor, by receiving, processing and storing of physiological information. The smart phone also has attractive graphic user interface to allow user to interact with the body sensor, for commanding instructions to the body sensor and displaying data received from the body sensor. This set-up is user friendly for long-term and continuous healthcare monitoring of patient with diverse cardiac diseases
Measurement of Space Charge Distributions in PLZT using Kerr Effect
No full textKerr effect technique is an optical measurement technique used to determine space charge distributions of a dielectric liquid under applied electric stress. In other words, such measurement can be used to study the conduction mechanisms of a dielectric liquid, such as charge injection threshold, bulk electric field stress, and aging. In this study, an instrument was set up to measure the absolute value of the electric field distributions in lead–lanthanum–zirconium–titanium (PLZT). PLZT was selected for the study of the instrumentation because the material has a high Kerr constant. In the experiment, charge injection threshold and bulk field strength of PLZT were measured under low applied voltages
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

No full textAppropriate 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
