Diseño, dimensionamiento y ejecución del sistema de tratamiento de aguas residuales para SAASA, Callao, 2021
Full text linkEl presente proyecto consiste en el dimensionamiento y ejecución del sistema de tratamiento de aguas residuales para SAASA, CALLAO, 2021, se realiza el proyecto con la finalidad de tratar el desagüe doméstico proveniente de las instalaciones sanitarias del predio ubicado en la Sub parcela N° 2 Fundo San Agustín, Valle Bocanegra-provincia Constitucional del Callao departamento de Lima (SAASA).
Las aguas residuales son materiales derivados de residuos domésticos o desperdicios, por razones de salud pública y ambiental no pueden desecharse directamente a cualquier sector o área sin tener un adecuado tratamiento.
Se realizó un diseño no experimental, Transversal Descriptivo; se usaron técnicas como la observación, datos estadísticos del Instituto Nacional de Estadística e Informática, diseño y cálculo de los sistemas.
Se propuso para el diseño del sistema de alcantarillado un tanque séptico de 3.59 m3 y 17.29 m3 con sus respectivos pozos de absorción, diseñado para 120 personas que laboran constantemente en el almacén de SAASA.
La propuesta de diseño abarcó el total del centro logístico de almacenamiento y distribución de carga SAASA, considerando para ello parámetros, normas y reglamentos de diseño de alcantarillado
69th Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting: Personal experiences of two young scientists
Full text linkThe annual Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting is an extremely prestigious 1-week event at which bright young scientists from across the globe are able to meet Nobel laureates to discuss matters of science. These meetings were initiated in 1951 to liberate German scientists from their post-war isolation. The aim was to encourage and cement networks and reduce barriers between nations. Since that time, the meeting has taken place every year in the small Bavarian town of Lindau on Lake Constance, alternating among the disciplines of medicine and
physiology, chemistry and physics. An interdisciplinary meeting revolving around all three disciplines is held every 5 years and a meeting on economics is held every 3 years.This year’s meeting attracted 580 young scientists – master’s and doctoral students and postdoctoral researchers – from 89 countries and 39 Nobel laureates. The meeting was dedicated to physics, and revolved around topics
such as cosmology, particle physics, laser physics, gravitational waves, quantum technologies, dark matter and the graphene flagship programme. Themes were addressed in the form of lectures, panel discussions, master classes and science breakfasts. The motto of the Lindau meeting is ‘Educate, inspire and connect’. In order to attend a Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting as a young scientist, applications must be submitted to a host institution such as a national academy. In the case of South Africa, this is the Academy of Science of South Africa
(ASSAf) which provides travel grants through support from the Department of Science and Innovation (DSI), formerly the Department of Science and Technology. The DSI and ASSAf cover the cost of travel and logistics in
South Africa, while the Lindau Council co-funds accommodation and any medical expenses during the meeting. There is a variety of accommodation options, including hotels near the meeting venue and beyond the island, and
even staying with a host family in Lindau.This year, two of the young South African scientists who participated were Valentine Saasa and Nonkululeko
Radebe. Valentine Saasa is a PhD candidate at the CSIR and is registered for her degree at the University of Pretoria.She works on the synthesis of nanostructured chemical sensors for non-invasive monitoring of diabetes mellitus.
Nonkululeko Radebe is a PhD candidate at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in Germany. Her research involvescombined rheo-spectroscopy techniques for hydration kinetic studies on cement paste. They respectively describe
their experiences below.https://www.sajs.co.zapm2020Biochemistr
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
