A Study on the optimal model for the expansion of integrated supply system of customized industrial water to strengthen corporate competitiveness
Get PDFThesis(Master) --KDI School:Master of Public Management,2021.Looking at the domestic industrial water supply system, a water service provider (local government or K-water) supplies only general-purpose industrial water (raw water, purified water, and settled water), and the consumer uses the water provided by the water service provider after additional water purification to suit its application (e.g., cooling water, boiler feed water, washing water, etc.) and water quality. Therefore, companies that require high-purity industrial water such as semiconductor, display, petrochemical, and precision machinery industries directly install and operate additional water treatment facilities at their own expenditure to supply customized industrial water (pure water, ultrapure water) required for product production.
Even though there are professional water supply companies that supply industrial water, high purity industrial water that requires additional water treatment is produced and managed by the manufacturer itself, raising product costs and production risks and weakening corporate competitiveness.
In particular, when a large amount of industrial water is required for product production, the supply of industrial water in a stable and affordable manner through improvement of the industrial water supply system is a very important factor in enhancing production efficiency and corporate competitiveness because the cost of the water has a large effect on the product cost.
Taking this study as an opportunity, if a specialized water service provider expands the introduction of a system that integrates and supplies customized industrial water required by manufacturing companies, it will be possible to prevent duplicate investment in facilities and to supply industrial water efficiently at a relatively low unit price. It could lead to an improvement in the competitiveness of companies.
For example, in 2011, quantitative results were also proven through the successful operation of a customized integrated industrial water supply facility (K-water Daesan Industrial Water Center) installed in the Daesan Petrochemical Complex for the first time in Korea. However, since then, the spread of the integrated industrial water supply system has been sluggish.
Therefore, in this study, through a feasibility analysis of project expansion and a review of the project implementation method, an optimal business model and implementation plan were suggested, and efforts were made to secure new driving forces.
The conclusions drawn through this study are summarized as follows:
From a locational perspective, it was judged that the existing national industrial complex, where demanding companies were concentrated, was suitable as a business target in many aspects, such as securing stable demand and linking with government policies (regeneration of aging industrial complexes).
From an economic perspective, there is a difference depending on the availability of financial support, fluctuations in benefits and total project costs, and the quality of water required by customers, but it turns out that it is possible to secure stable economic feasibility when the scale capacity of the integrated supply facility is 50,000 ㎥/day or more.
From a policy perspective, this project is in line with the policy direction of the country that wants to secure its own technology for high-purity industrial water treatment, and the willingness of the government and K-water to pursue the project is clear, so it is possible to secure sufficient feasibility if uncertainties are resolved through thorough preparation and the customized industrial water integrated supply plan is reflected in the relevant high-level plan (2040 national waterworks maintenance basic plan, etc.).
In addition, as a result of comparing the strengths and weaknesses of various business methods including the national finance project, it is judged that the promotion in the form of government fiscal projects led by the government and K-water will be the most advantageous in many aspects (e.g., deciding on flexible rates in consideration of acceptability, enhancing project execution power, achieving effective business goals, etc.).
Now is the time for K-water, a state-owned enterprise specializing in the water sector, to actively strive to enhance the execution power of the project by reflecting the plan to expand the introduction of Integrated Supply System for Customized Industrial Water in government policies and inducing financial and institutional support.1.

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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn 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.
