Analysis on East-Asia Poverty Reduction Cooperation Pilot Project in Myanmar (Case Study: Two Pilot Villages in Nay Pyi Taw) (Nyan Win Paing , 2024)
Get PDFThis research is to examine the execution of the East-Asia Poverty Reduction
Cooperation Pilot Project in Myanmar. Primary data was collected from 150 respondents
picked from two pilot villages in Naypyitaw using a simple random sampling procedure.
The project has implemented a range of extensive poverty alleviation initiatives,
including rural infrastructure, public services, livelihood enhancement, and the capacity
development of rural families. It is also found that East-Asia Poverty Reduction
Cooperation Pilot Project has an effect on socio-economic conditions, agriculture, health,
education, and job opportunity of local people. Among the benefits on five areas, benefit
on socio-economic conditions is the largest followed by agriculture, job opportunity,
education and health. The project has directly and indirectly effect on rural development.
The data indicates that respondents see significant advantages from the East-Asia
Poverty Reduction Cooperation Pilot Project
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
Target tracking using webcams
No full textWith rapid proliferation of video cameras in public places and ever decreasing price/performance ratio of computing, the ability to identify and track people creates tremendous opportunities for important business and security applications. This report presents a sub-project of the Multiple Camera Indoor Surveillance system. In this project, two webcams are connected to a computer in which C language platform with OpenCV libraries (open source) are installed and knowledge based techniques are used to track and localize a person in a predetermined area.
Using built-in Haar-like feature detection classifiers in OpenCV, we can identify human faces and subtract them out of the background which is normally unchanged and is really not of interest. Haar-like features encode some information about the class (face in this project) to be detected using the existence of oriented contrasts between regions in the image.Bachelor of Engineerin
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
Development of a product design system using a knowledge sorting process
No full textKnowledge sorting is one way to organize the knowledge acquired from the domain expert(s) and various sources. The development of a product design system is facilitated by the implementation of knowledge sorting process. The extraction of rule from knowledge becomes easier with the knowledge sorting process. Three phases based on relationships between attributes and factors, interrelationships between factors and relationships between dependent and independent variables are developed after the general sorting. The process is illustrated by applying it to the development of a product design system for helical compression springs.Master of Science (Computer Integrated Manufacturing
