    本篇論文將利用多模態波導之特殊幾何結構,將高階模態侷限在內部,進而形成等效的共振腔,藉由兩種模態之間的干涉行為來設計陷波濾波器與吸收器。不同於一般矩形波導只能傳遞主模態TE10,多模態波導允許其他高階模態同時為傳播模態,因此在K頻段(18 GHz - 26.5 GHz)的頻率範圍內選擇TE10模態與TE30模態進行模擬與實驗。本篇論文設計出一種曲線式口徑轉換的多模態波導,其幾何形狀為對稱結構,兩端口徑寬度由標準尺寸10.668 mm向中間逐漸增加至22.86 mm,並在中間口徑最寬的區域填充部分介電質以激發TE30模態;由於截止頻率的特性,隨著口徑寬度縮減至特定寬度時,TE30模態將從傳播模態轉變為截止模態,進而在波導內部形成等效的共振腔。若以此結構作為雙埠系統,在共振頻率時的頻率響應將顯示為高反射,可以用來設計陷波濾波器;若作為單埠系統,在共振頻率時的頻率響應將顯示為高吸收,則可以用來設計吸收器。透過時域耦合模態理論可以清楚地瞭解並解釋系統在共振時,兩種模態疊加之後的干涉行為,並透過改變介電質的介電係數與尺寸,得到不同的頻率響應。本論文使用電磁模擬軟體HFSS並配合時域耦合模態理論來找出最佳化的結果,最後實際製作成品進行量測,並與模擬結果做驗證。此外,為了使模擬更能符合實驗條件,我們將自行量測介電質的介電係數與正切損耗(loss tangent),使之作為模擬軟體之參數設定。An overmoded waveguide is presented through changing the dimension of width. We put a dielectric in middle of the waveguide in order to excite higher order modes. Because of higher order modes can only exist in the wider dimension of width, effectively form a cavity in the waveguide. Then we design notch filters and absorbers by the interference conditions of two modes composition. We choose TE10 mode and TE30 mode as two operating modes in K-band. At the beginning of this work, we simulate the frequency responds of different structures by the simulation program “HFSS”, then put the design structure into the real waveguide for testing. Finally we compare the differences between the simulation results and measurement data and take the temporal coupled-mode theory into consideration for further optimization of the design. We also measure the permittivity and loss tangent of the dielectric in rectangular waveguide for simulation settings

    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

    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

    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

    Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902

    No full text
    In Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
