Thus the system is constructed by using service-oriented to integrate the capability of control and identification. To combine service providers, service requesters and service brokers, not only the resources can be shared and efficiently used, but also reduce the cost of operating and experimental, and improve the quality and quantity of plant growth. In this study, the system include three parts: the cloud service platform, the control and identification system and the gateway. The cloud service platform is like services brokers to integrate services, and the service requesters calls the services on the cloud service platform on demand. The control and identification system plays a role of service provider, which provide remote control, monitoring and better growth parameter identify service. The cloud service platform and the control and identification system are communicate through the gateway. The gateway works as two-way web service interaction, data transmission and conversion, services integration. The purpose of the control and identification system constructed in this study is increasing the crop growth status observability and the environment controllability in order to observe the crop growth status, solve the lack of observability, high cost and high-risk situations in mass production. Thus the control and the monitoring structure is designed in two parts: the comparison group platform which gives crop growth environment parameters and growth status as reference input for the experimental group platform. The experimental group platform for crop experiment. The experimental group platform will track growth environment parameters to be consistent with the environment of the comparison group platform, and then change one of the environment parameter according to experimental design. The rest of the environment parameters will continue tracking the reference input. By comparing the crop growth status with each other in real time, we can identify the crop growth parameters. Therefore, operation of the system capability include real time environmental monitoring, real-time plant growth status detection, data capture, record and better growth parameter identify of crop. Based on those, we use web service technology to develop three kinds of service include historical data retrieve service, real-time environmental monitoring service and system-control service. We integrate these services to the cloud services platform, so that the service requesters can operate the control and identification system through interface of services integration. Briefly, the system in this study use cloud computing, internet and web service technology to integrate needed resources. Service requesters can operate the equipment located throughout by the virtual environment on the internet.口試委員審定書 i 致謝 ii 中文摘要 iv Abstract v 目錄 vii 圖目錄 ix 表目錄 xii 第一章 前言 1 1.1 研究背景 1 1.2 研究動機與目的 2 1.3 論文架構 3 第二章 文獻探討 4 2.1 自動化環境監控系統 4 2.1.1 田間伺服 5 2.1.2 無線感測器網路 8 2.2 Web Service 11 2.3 Web Service 運作架構 15 2.4 雲端運算 17 第三章 材料與方法 20 3.1 監控與鑑別系統 21 3.1.1 系統監控架構 22 3.1.2 硬體整合 25 3.1.2.1 生長平台 26 3.1.2.2 感測器 27 3.1.2.3 致動器與驅動電路 30 3.1.2.4 控制器 33 3.1.3 軟體簡介 39 3.1.3.1 作業系統 39 3.1.3.2 網頁伺服器與資料庫管理系統 40 3.1.3.3 軟體開發工具 40 3.1.4 軟體設計 43 3.1.4.1 通訊格式 44 3.1.4.2 資料庫 45 3.1.4.3 控制策略 46 3.1.4.4 使用者介面 48 3.2 Web Service 49 3.2.1 SOAP 50 3.2.2 WSDL File 51 3.2.3 雲端Web Service架構 52 3.2.4 Web Service 應用與程序(步驟) 54 3.2.5 Web Service 系統實現 56 第四章 結果與討 67 4.1 感測器特性 67 4.2 致動器特性 69 4.3 監控與鑑別系統之環境調控 71 4.3.1 實驗設計一:將對照組與試驗組環境調控至一致 71 4.3.2 實驗設計二:將對照組與試驗組環境調控至一致,再改變二氧化碳濃度 73 4.3.3 實驗設計三:將對照組與試驗組環境調控至一致,再改變溫度 74 4.3.4 實驗設計四:將對照組與試驗組環境調控至一致,再改變相對濕度 75 4.4 即時生長資訊 77 4.5 使用者介面 80 4.6 Web Service 操作 82 4.6.1 擷取歷史資料服務操作 83 4.6.2 即時環境監視服務操作 85 4.6.3 系統調控服務操作 87 第五章 結論 89 參考文獻 9

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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 PDF
    We 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 PDF
    We 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

    We 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 text
    In 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.
