Skim coating / Muhammad Asyraf Othman
No full textSkim Coating is one of the additional value after the plastering process, therefore, skim coating can be used to smoothen the wall or to repair the drywall. This report will track down the method of skim coating that were conducted in Ibai Golf and Country Resort Kuala Terengganu for Double Storey Bungalow for Bmi Construction Sdn Bhd . The objective of the report is to identify the factors that should be considered in skim coating, the method of skim coating, and the problem of skim coating. It will focus on the type, advantages and disadvantages of the skim coating that is used for the case study, the material and the tools that are used for the skim coating. In this report, it also shows the details, step by step of skim coating procedure from scratch
A wireless water pollution monitoring system
Get PDFNowadays, water pollution is a serious threat not only to the environment and ecology but also effect the human as well. Before this, detecting and monitoring water only conduct manually by bringing sample from the river or sea to the lab. This project proposes a wireless water pollution monitoring system. Furthermore, this system are purposed to the staff of Jabatan Alam Sekitar to monitor the river more efficiently and reduces the workload during monitoring. This system integrated with sensors design to monitor the quality and pollution on the water. This system uses Arduino R3 to support and generate the sensors. The sensor use for this project is Ph sensor, Turbidity sensor and Flow sensor. The GSM devices acts as a connection between sensor and web application. This system also will pass all the information gather from the sensor to the web application via internet. The staff can monitor the river using the web application that will show the result of the water quality. Others, the system also provide an action taken to reduces the pollution base on the result of the water quality. Staff also can view data collected in form of graph by the system to use it to do analysis for future event. The methodology chosen for this project is Waterfall model which is well defined methodology and precise. In developing Wireless Water Pollution Monitoring system, Notepad++ and Arduino Software (IDE) are used to develop the interface and function that meet the requirement. In the end of this project, it is expected that the WWPMS meet the user requirement. Therefore, this application can give a convenient way to monitor the polluted river
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
Appropriate 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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe 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
