Nutritional Metals in Foods by AAS
Full text linkAn overview of the literature will be given of applications of Fame AA together with some\ud
references to Graphite Furnace AA to the analyses of foods such as: meat the main source of\ud
iron; dairy products, the source of calcium and fruit and vegetables for a range of metals.\ud
Comparisons will be given of metal content in these products particularly in meat and dairy\ud
products. Of the metals listed above, not all of these will be considered in every product:\ud
only where they are the metal of highest concentration. The aim of this chapter is to give a\ud
general comparison of the metal content in these products, which will not be exhaustive,\ud
particularly, with respect to fruit and vegetables but the ones most commonly consumed.\ud
The emphasis is on nutrition and to give the general reader and health professional a\ud
concise view of the metal content of these food products. From scientific aspect the\ud
methodology for Flame AA is relative straight forward, as is the work up for instrument\ud
presentation but there are often extra procedures that are required depending on the matrix\ud
that are essential for obtaining a valid result
Menata masyarakati informasi Indonesia melalui kerjasama pengaturan konten internet ("co-regulating the internet content for a better Indonesian information society")
No full textFenomena 'dark side of the internet' (sisi kelam internet) menjadi sebuah keprihatinan universal disebabkan sifat internet itu yang merupakan media lintas bangsa dan negara. Dalam berbagai bentuknya, kebijakan nasional dirasakan sebagai sebuah keniscayaan. Di Indonesia sendiri, pemerintah masih belum mengambil sikap tegas terhadap arah dan pendekatan kebijakan dalm pengaturan konten. Hal ini perlu segera diperhatikan untuk mendukung program pemerintah dalam meningkatkan masyarakat informasi di Indonesia dan juga mewujudkan internet yang sehat, yaitu yang terbebas atau meminimalisasi unsur-unsur negatif seperti konten negatif dan penyalahgunaan teknologi untuk tujuan yang melanggar hukum dan pengabaian norma kemasyarakatan dan kebangsaan. Tulisan ini menggugah ide untuk mengedepankan sebuah sistem pengaturan bersama (Co-regulation) yang melibatkan berbagai pemangku kepentingan dalam industri konten Internet di Indonesia
An adaptive cancellation system for a colocated receiver and its dynamic range
No full textWireless communication service providers are\ud
having to co-locate base stations (BTS) on common sites, since\ud
little space is available to build new ones. BTS receivers have\ud
to receive weak desired signals at the presence of strong\ud
transmit signals from co-located transmitters; resulting in\ud
interference and desensitization. This leads to higher dynamic\ud
range requirements for BTS receivers. The paper describes\ud
an adaptive cancellation system for mitigating these large\ud
transmit interferers at a BTS receiver; hence, increasing\ud
the receiver’s dynamic range. The paper further derives\ud
theoretical expressions for the IP3 and noise factor, which\ud
formulates the upper and lower end of the dynamic range of\ud
the system. Practical measurements demonstrate a reduction\ud
in interference and intermodulation. The prototype achieves\ud
a cancellation of 53dB
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
