Prediction of dissolved oxygen on stepped spillway with different configuration
No full textThe increase of water quality is related to the presence of dissolved oxygen. Even,
the oxygen concentration in surface waters is a main indicator of the water
quality for human use as well as for the aquatic biota. Air entrainment on stepped
spillway is also recognised for its contribution to the oxygen transfer. The oxygen
transfer on stepped spillways in skimming flow regime is increased due to earlier
self-aeration and slower flow velocities in comparison to smooth spillways. This
paper presents the results gained on a physical model by using a variety of
different configurations of stepped spillway. The slopes of stepped spillway (?)
used are 30? and 45?, the number of step (N) are 40 and 20, and two types of
steps are flat steps and pooled steps. The experiments were conducted for ten
Froude number (Fr) run ranging from 1.117 to 9.909. This research aimed to
investigate the influence of different configuration in stepped spillway for
predicting of dissolved oxygen. The results showed that the dissolved oxygen of
the stepped spillway increases with an increase in chute of slope, number of step,
and surface roughness on steps. The increases of Froude number as a function of
discharge will cause turbulence flow becomes decreases, and the concentration
of air bubble in the water will be decreased. The decreased value of turbulence
flow will make dissolved oxygen level decrease. In skimming flow condition, the
dissolved oxygen level decreases with increasing discharge per unit width
especially for steep bed slope
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
Water Quality Analysis of Village and Monitoring Well around Rembang Steam Power Plant (EIA in Central Java, Indonesia)
No full textBed configuration under sluice gate at Sandy–Loam Bed Channel
No full textSluice gate operation is necessary to keep the continuity the design discharge. The mis-operation of sluice gate occurs endanger stucture and destruct the bed irrigation channel. Investigation about sluice gate operation and bed configuration are needed to avoid the destruction of the structure bed irrigation channel. The changes in bed form result from interaction of the flow, fluid and bed material. The aim of this paper is to investigate the influence of different flow parameter, height of opening gate and types of bed material. Fourty five runs were executed at different discharge started from 1.0 l/s to 5.0 l/s with an increment of 0.5 where each discharge has five different opening gate to get all characteristics of bed configuration. The material used in the experiments were sandy loam. The experimental were conducted in an acrylic side flume with recirculating water at Applied Hydraulics Laboratory in Water Resources Engineering Faculty, Brawijaya University, Malang, Indonesia. The result of investigation showed that the bed configuration of sandy loam is ripple for most of the condition. At the same opening gate and various discharge the configuration is start by plane bed (no motion) and ripplee. Meanwhile, for the same discharge at the various opening gate occurs the ripple bed configuration. The various velocity that occur during the runing process cause the changing of bed configuration. For the greater discharge at the same opening gate occur the highest velocity. This condition cause the grain sediment material of the bed channel lift up and start to moving. This result is suitable with equation approaches from the van Rijn, Simon Richardson and Garde Albertson
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
