e-Waste Kool Kiosk
No full textThe proposed design involves utilizing locally available e-waste to operate an ATM-sized stand that can be used indoors or outdoors to perform various services. The capabilities of an individual kiosk will depend on the e-waste available for its construction and the need demonstrated in the vicinity of its installation site.Open Restriction set for Item 110125 on 2019-02-28T18:20:16Z with date null by [email protected] by Laura Barnes ([email protected]) on 2019-02-28T18:25:37Z

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe 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
A marketing plan for V-Â Kool Philippines, Inc.
No full textThe use of automobiles is increasing in the Philippines due to the rising incomes of the people and is evident in the increasing number of car sales, which shows that the automotive industry is indeed profitable. Automotive films or tint, being one of the major car accessories that people usually install, provides many benefits such as privacy, security, heat protection and safety. V-KOOL Philippines took the initiative to re-introduce V-KOOL\u27s spectrally-selective technology back in 2011 as it saw the need for the product here in the country. Despite being introduced by the last distributor years ago, the product still lacks awareness in the market. Acknowledging the potential of V-KOOL\u27s products that surpasses the industry standards for automotive films, the group proposed to create a product marketing plan to increase both brand awareness and sales. This will be executed starting January 2013. The marketing plan aims to change its target market from a broad scope to a narrower market, which are young urban professionals, ages 28-35, and middle-aged adults, ages 40-50. Both of these markets belong to the socio-economic class ABC1 that was determined based on the primary and secondary data gathered by the researchers.
Objectives of the marketing plan are to increase awareness among the new target market that there are several variants of V-KOOL and to focus V-KOOL\u27s marketing efforts towards them, that would eventually lead to sales. With this being said, the goals or the first year are 1) To make 50% of the primary target and 15% of the secondary market aware of the four variants by the end of 2013, 2) To expand the distribution of V-KOOL products by tapping into the aftermarket area of Makati, Paranaque and Muntinlupa, 3) To increase product sales of V-KOOL by 30% by the end 2013
Author, publisher and bookseller : a tripartite synergy in Nigerian book industry
No full textThis work is about the roles of Author, Publisher and Bookseller in Book development in
Nigeria. The paper started by delving into the history of Book Publishing in Nigeria after
which it proceeded by defining who an author, a publisher, and a bookseller is and
expatiated on the indispensable roles of these key actors in Nigerian Book Industry and in
the emerging Information Society. Furthermore, the various constraints to book
development were identified while the paper advised on how the Book Industry can be
further promoted in Nigeria. However, the paper concluded and made recommendations
on how the Book sector can help in enhancing scholarship in the country

Coen 7553, 3 spm). Description Holotype PROTOCONCH. Paucispiral, pointed, 1.75 milky whorls, beset with rows of microscopic pustules. Protoconch missing in holotype, seen in paratype (Fig. 8H). SHELL. Rather heavy, conical, acuminate, teleoconch consisting of 7 whorls, suture impressed. On penultimate 13 and on body whorl 12 well pronounced, equidistant axial ribs and strong varix. Ribs equally strong on dorsal and ventral side of body whorl. SPIRAL CORDS. Continuous, moderately broad on top of axial ribs, but between ribs narrower and weak, approximately 6 cords on penultimate and 10 on body whorl. INTERCORDAL SCULPTURE. Numerous very fine, evenly spaced spiral striae, occasionally also on top of spiral cords. APERTURE. Round, proportionally small, approximately 1/5 of shell length. Outer lip with 7 unequal denticles. Columella callused, somewhat elevated anteriorly and with evenly spaced lirae throughout. Callus sharply bordered, bending over part of fasciole and somewhat extending over body whorl posteriorly. Inside outer lip with 8 lirae and pronounced tooth at siphonal canal. Elevated part of callus with fine growth lines on left (out)side. Parietal denticle strong, anal canal deep. OPERCULUM. Yellowish, serrated. SIPHONAL CANAL. Narrow, fasciole strong. Siphonal area with one strong and some weak cords. COLOR. Off white to yellow, narrow band just above suture and broader band below periphery; columella and outer lip white, aperture yellowish. ADULT SIZE. 8.2–16.5 mm, usually 13–15 mm. Remarks Color and banding pattern variable; some specimens have light to dark brown bands and others lack banding. In banded specimens, one band occurs on the body whorl, with an additional band on the sutural area. In some specimens, the spiral cords may be colored orange/brown, but only between the axial ribs. Aperture white, inside faintly showing the outside bands if present. Reticunassa visayaensis sp. nov. and R. poppeorum sp. nov. have a multispiral protoconch, whereas the protoconch of R. goliath sp. nov. is paucispiral. The strong columellar callus, together with the thickening of the inside of the outer lip and the strong varix, gives the aperture a round, “open mouth” appearance, whereas the other species in this group have a more oval-shaped aperture. R. goliath sp. nov. and R. tringa both have a paucispiral protoconch, but the former has a considerably heavier and larger shell. It is similar to R. tringa, R. visayaensis sp. nov. and R. poppeorum sp. nov. in having weak spiral cords. R. goliath sp. nov. differs from R. paupera in weight, in its larger size, in the number of whorls, and in the size of the aperture relative to the total shell length. Habitat Sublittoral to 0–40 m, frequently between 10 and 20 m. Distribution Western Pacific; Indonesia (Papua), Australia (Queensland), Vanuatu, New Caledonia, and Loyalty Islands (Fig. 10).Published as part of Galindo, Lee Ann, Kool, Hugo H. & Dekker, Henk, 2017, Review of the Nassarius pauperus (Gould, 1850) complex (Nassariidae): Part 3, reinstatement of the genus Reticunassa, with the description of six new species, pp. 1-43 in European Journal of Taxonomy 275 on pages 31-34, DOI: 10.5852/ejt.2017.275, http://zenodo.org/record/382454
Lightning rod or seismograph? The acid test for librarians
No full textContends that librarians can shape their future rather than just record and manage what has already happened. The author believes that we must work to persuade our organisations that we are producers and not just consumers of information and that in making that argument we will assert that our professional skills, although in need of review and re-presentation, remain of critical value to the development of an information society. This is as true of digital libraries as paper libraries

Description Holotype PROTOCONCH. Smooth, multispiral, whitish-yellowish, consisting of 2.5 whorls. Beset with rows of minute pustules (Fig. 3M). SHELL. Elongate-ovate, 5.5 postnuclear whorls, suture impressed. Penultimate whorl with 15 nearly equally pronounced, round ribs; body whorl with 14 ribs, decreasing in height or disappearing on ventral side. Varix broad and strong. SPIRAL CORDS. Continuous, flat and narrow, 7 cords on penultimate, and 11 on body whorl, peripheral one somewhat darker. INTERCORDAL SCULPTURE. Approximately 6 very fine, evenly spaced striae between spiral cords. APERTURE. Oval, inside outer lip with 9 lirate denticles, peripheral denticle slightly more pronounced. Parietal denticle moderate, anal canal wide. Columellar callus wide, anteriorly somewhat elevated, posteriorly partly extending over whorl; well delineated border. Fine lirae over entire surface. OPERCULUM. Yellowish, serrated. SIPHONAL CANAL. Fasciole strong, siphonal area with 1 strong and 5 weak cords. COLOR. Yellowish, most spiral cords reddish between ribs. ADULT SIZE. 8.5–12.7 mm, usually 8.5–10.5 mm. Remarks The intraspecific variability is considerable. The number of ribs and spiral cords may vary, and the color is extremely variable, white to yellow and orange to brown, unicolor or with narrow or broad yellow, brown, dark brown, or grey bands on all whorls or only on the body whorl. Reticunassa visayaensis sp. nov. has a broader, less pointed protoconch than R. paupera (Gould, 1850). R. visayaensis sp. nov. also differs from R. paupera by its larger size, its more bulbous shape and its lower ribs, especially on the body whorl, and by usually displaying dark bands. R. visayaensis sp. nov. is very similar to R. tringa. When the protoconch is missing, a positive identification is almost impossible. The protoconch of R. tringa is paucispiral with 1.5–1.75 whorls, whereas R. visayaensis sp. nov. has a protoconch of 2.25–2.5 whorls. The protoconch of R. tringa is nipple-shaped, hence the name “ mamillata ” (Preston 1907); the protoconch of R. visayaensis sp. nov. is dome-shaped. Preston’s description is accompanied by a drawing of the paucispiral protoconch. R. visayaensis sp. nov. is the Reticunassa species most commonly offered in the shell trade from the central Philippines, as well as R. crenulicostata (Shuto, 1969). The latter is smaller (5–7 mm) and has a large multispiral protoconch of 3.5 whorls (Cernohorsky 1984: pl. 38, figs 1–2; Martin 2008: pl. 354, figs 4–5). These features are the most distinguishing differences between R. crenulicostata and R. visayaensis sp. nov. Reticunassa tringa has a paucispiral protoconch.
