    Get PDF
    This project work involves a testing of several samples of composite materials by using microwave non-destructive testing techniques. The techniques used is a waveguide technique which make it possible for the measurement of liquid samples. The frequency range is from 8.0 GHz to 12.5 GHz. This testing proposes to measure the complex permittivity of composite materials. The main equipment for testing is WILTRON 37269B Vector Network Analyzer. A computer program was developed for calculation of complex permittivity. Data Network Analyzer measurement is input to this program

    Projek ini merupakan cadangan merekabentuk ruang dalaman yang barn untuk Red Box Karoake di lot kedai USJ 10 Taipan Subang Jaya. Faktor utama perancangan projek ini adalah untuk menjadikan pusat karaoke sebagai satu tempat yang sesuai dikunjungi oleh semua lapisan masyarakat dan membuang imej negatif pusat karaoke pada mata masyarakat serta menjadikan ia sutu tempat yang menarik sebagai sebuah pusat hiburan keluarga. Selain itu, ia juga akan memperkenalkan Red Box sebagai satu tempat yang menjadi pilihan untuk mereka yang inginkan hiburan yang berkonsepkan karaoke dan restoran.Secara tidak langsung ia akan memperkembangkan nama Red Box sebagai salah satu pusat hiburan yang menarik dan selamat untuk dikunjungi oleh setiap golongan. Beberapa kajian telah dilakukan bagi melancarkan projek ini iaitu melalui kajian kes, rujukan, kajian tapak, dan kajian bangunan.Tujuan kajian ini dilakukan adalah untuk mendapatkan maklumat yang secukupnya berkenaan dengan projek, mengenalpasti masalah yang ada, serta membuat perbandingan di antara kajian-kajian lain yang telah dibuat. Sehingga kini,,kebanyakan pusat karaoke yang tedapat di Malaysia masih lagi tidak mepunyai ciri-ciri yang dapat menarik orang ramai untuk berkunjung ke pusat karaoke. Ini kerana masih banyak pusat karaoke yang ada beroperasi secara haram dan tidak mepunyai ciri-ciri keselamatan yang baik. Masyarakat masih lagi memandang pusat karaoke dengan imej negatif dan tidak sesuai untuk dikunjungi

    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

    This research concentrates on the effectiveness of using video as teaching aid in teaching English language in Malay primary schools. Here it tries to detept what are the problems that had trouble the teacher in using this teaching technique. In this research, it is about 5 schools that are involved and the schools are Sekolah Kebangsaan Simpang Rawai, Sekolah Kebangsaan Bukit Payung, Sekolah Kebangsaan Pasir Tinggi, Sekolah Kebangsaan Tasek and Sekolah Kebangsaan Bukit Sawa. 5 teachers from each school to make this research successful. Through the finding of the study, we can detect the problems that had made the teachers would not use the video as one of their way in approaching the English language to their pupils in the learning process. Here we will try to untangle the problems to make video useful to the teacher. Video is one of the most powerful elements that could change the potential of the pupils in a short term. So the teacher must play the role to make sure the pupils could manage the English language in the most effective way so that the English language could help the pupils to face up to the new world

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    Get PDF
    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

    Get PDF
    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

    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
