Nasir heads the marketing department and she will spearhead the marketing efforts of the company. We choose the name Exotic Water Pull because it means anything that very unusual or remarkable. Exotic means, anomalous or extraordinary. Our missions are to introduce a new concept of water pull, which is different and have their own characteristic from other water pull
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

Stabilisasi dengan Kapur Terhadap Perubahan Karakteristik Fisik dan Kuat Geser Tanah Lempung Desa Tanjungharjo Bojonegoro
No full textABSTRACT Sobriyah, Siti. 2016. Stabilisasi dengan Kapur terhadap Perubahan Karakteristik Fisik dan Kuat Geser Tanah Lempung Desa Tanjungharjo Bojonegoro. Skripsi, Jurusan Teknik Sipil, Fakultas Teknik, Universitas Negeri Malang. Pembimbing: (I) Drs. Ir. I Wayan Jirna, M.T, (II) Drs. Eko Setyawan, S.T., M.T.Kata kunci: tanah lempung, karakteristik fisik tanah, Kuat Geser Tanah, stabilisasi, kapur.Tanah lempung Bojonegoro merupakan tanah yang memiliki sifat kembang susut besar dan plastisitas tinggi sehingga memiliki daya dukung rendah, tanah lempung yang mempunyai karakter kembang susut besar akibat pengaruh kadar air dalam tanah. Hal ini mengakibatkan berbagai masalah pada konstruksi di atasnya seperti keretakan pada pelat lantai, dinding bangunan, ataupun amblesnya jalan raya. Oleh karena itu, tanah lempung tersebut memerlukan perbaikan, baik secara fisik maupun mekanis. Berbagai upaya yang dilakukan untuk memperbaiki tanah lempung salah satunya adalah dengan stabilisasi tanah. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan dengan tujuan (1) mengetahui karakteristik fisik tanah lempung setelah distabilisasi dengan kapur. (2) mengetahui nilai kuat geser tanah lempung setelah distabilisasi dengan kapur. Bahan stabilisasi yang digunakan berupa kapur padam, diharapkan setelah adanya stabilisasi dapat memperbaiki sifat tanah yang memiliki daya dukung rendah. Rancangan penelitian ini menggunakan penelitian eksperimental yang dianalisis secara deskriptif. Data penelitian disajikan dalam bentuk tabel dan grafik. Penambahan bahan stabilisasi berupa kapur sebesar 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, dan 20% dengan total sampel benda uji sebanyak 60 buah. Parameter yang diuji dalam penelitian ini antara lain LL, PL, SL, dan uji Kuat Geser Langsung. Hasil penelitian yang diperoleh menunjukkan bahwa penambahan kapur 20% menghasilkan perubahan karakteristik fisik dan kuat geser terbaik dibandingkan dengan penambahan kapur 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%. nilai IP tanah yang tidak distabilisasi sebesar 46,93%, setelah distabilisasi dengan kapur 20% sebesar 3,47%. Nilai SL tanah asli sebesar 4,32%, setelah distabilisasi dengan kapur 20% menjadi 36,46%. Hasil pengujian geser langsung pada persentase penambahan kapur 20% menunjukkan nilai kohesi dan sudut geser dalam dibandingkan dengan penambahan kapur 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%. Nilai kohesi tanah yang tidak distabilisasi sebesar 0,114 kg/cm2 setelah distabilisasi dengan kapur 20% menjadi 0,173 kg/cm2. Nilai sudut geser dalam tanah yang tidak distabilisasi sebesar 18,270°, setelah distabilisasi dengan kapur 20% menjadi 39,027°
