    This research explains about representation of subaltern�s voice in The Glory of Sri Sri Ganesh, a novel written by Mahasweta Devi. That action aims to develop a deeper analysis about subaltern phenomenon in the novel, regardless of the descriptive analysis. In addition, this research also aims to construct a critical reading. The critical reading in this research will be done by using the concept of subalternity proposed by Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak. According to her definition, subaltern is a position without any identity and there is no space from which the subaltern as subject can speak. In finding out how Mahasweta Devi represents the subalternity through The Glory of Sri Sri Ganesh, aside from using the subaltern theory, the writer also uses the deconstruction reading method. With the discovery of the binary oppositions, it will be seen that one side of the unit is the privileged opposition, hierarchical, and other are the marginalized. In this novel, the hierarchical oppositional forces shape the dominant structure which describes the social life of low class citizen in India. Mahasweta Devi not only develops the dominant structure through characters and sequence of events but she also represent another perspective where subaltern can speak and do something better toward their life with actions of rebellion. The representation of subaltern�s voice in this novel is being questioned by interrogating the author�s hierarchy reversal of dominant structures in the novel. Thus, it would be revealed another data that it is likely to contradict the author's description of her own hierarchy reversal

    As new industries and technologies emerges, the utilization of boilers never fades and it there all over the world. A boiler is a crux of most industries whereby it produces steam, hot water and etc for production purpose, steam turbine and etc. In this paper we concentrate on the water tube boiler due the relevance of the topic. Most industries relies on the steam turbine to generate electricity for production purposes and this requires usage of steam generated by boilers for their operation. Other than that, steam turbine requires dry steam and not saturated steam which most industries utilizes for production. The dry steam is produces by passing through one of a critical component of boiler which is the superheater. Superheater is required in order for the boiler to produce dry steam or also known as superheated steam. As a critical component, this superheater is prone to failure due exposure of high temperature constantly and to mitigate it, the paper studies method and ways to minimize and prevent the failure of superheater tube and also maintenance of an industrial boiler for better efficiency

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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

    We 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

    We 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 text
    We 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
