Tamoco Open Spaces
No full textOverview:
Tamoco delivers real-time location data in a secure and deidentified way. Tamoco’s data is derived directly from mobile devices, using the inbuilt operating system. The tech uses a combination of GPS and WiFi, in order to generate industry-leading location accuracy. UBDC obtained data from Tamoco. Their ML algorithm aims to enhance location accuracy and provide reliable geospatial data without compromising user privacy. The data can be used to understand how a device’s movement interacts with points of interests (cafe’s, offices, stores etc); where devices are likely spending time; and to complement the raw location data with Tamoco visitation data to understand dwell times.
Tamoco dataset:
The dataset consists of Tamoco’s location data which provides:
• Verified GPS coordinates coming from third party app publishers.
• 7-digit latitude and longitude data with accuracy scores, providing a complete picture of how a device moves over time.
• Data is anonymised securely to protect users privacy.
Access and restrictions:
Tamoco data is available to UK-based academics and public sector organisations for non-commercial, academic research purposes or to support policy and operational decision making only. Usage for teaching purposes is not permitted. Data users need to apply to UBDC setting out a summary of the work they plan to undertake so that the usage can be assessed against these criteria. If the intended use falls within the terms of the licence, data users will be asked to sign an End User Licence agreement. Data will be shared with eligible applicants on receipt of completed license agreements.

Tabu search for multiobjective combinatorial optimization : TAMOCO
No full textThis paper presents the multiobjective tabu search method, TAMOCO. Being an adaptation of the well-known tabu search, it can be used to generate approximations to the non-dominated solutions of multiobjective combinatorial optimization problems. TAMOCO works with a set of current solutions which, through manipulation of weights, are optimized towards the non-dominated frontier while at the same time seek to disperse over the frontier. The general procedure and some extensions to it are presented, as well as suggestions of usage in interactive procedures. A computational experiment is also presented
Experiments concerning hashing in the multiobjective tabu search method TAMOCO
No full textThis paper examines the use of hashing in the multiobjective tabu search, TAMOCO. The hasliing method was suggested by Woodruff and Zemel (1993) as a method of avoiding return to the already examined solutions in the standard single-objective tabu search. While the traditional tabu list is capable of insuring this, it can normally only be used for cycles of a moderate length. The hashing method, however, can efficiently avoid cycles over a much larger number of iterations and must be considered a natural component in the tabu search tool-box. We report from two experiments on practical models where the hashing component has been included into the TAMOCO-procedure ; with two different outcomes
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
