    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

    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

    Sistem penyaringan air otomatis telah dirancang untuk memonitor pergerakan sistem via internet dan memberikan notifikasi kepada petugas jika sistem dalam keadaan error. Kontroler yang digunakan ialah PLC Siemens S7-1200 dan PLC Schneider M221. Raspberrry Pi 4 digunakan sebagai IoT gateway dengan Node-RED sebagai tool untuk integrasi berbagai komponen sistem IoT. Berdasarkan hasil pengujian, sistem telah berjalan sesuai dengan alur program yang dibuat. Jika salah satu bagian dari sistem tidak menyala atau aliran air tidak terdeteksi, maka sistem akan mengirim notifikasi dengan waktu kurang dari 1 menit. Sistem dapat menyimpan waktu dan tanggal terjadinya error ke database MySQL

    Behavior Coordination Methods on Autonomous Navigation of Physical Robot

    Behavior based architecture gives robot fast and reliable action. If there are many behaviors in robot, behavior coordination is needed. Subsumption architecture and motor schema is example of behavior coordination methods. In order to study those methods characteristics, computer simulation is not enough, experiments in physical robot are needed to be done. It can be concluded from experiment result that the first method gives quick, robust but non smooth response. Meanwhile the latter gives smooth but slower response, and it is tend to reach target faster than the first one. Some limitation of physical robot experiment also presented here

    PID controller is a wllknown controller that still used in industry nowadays. The important thing in designing is tuning the controller's parameter. Several tuning methods that described here are Ziegler-Nichols, Cohen-Coon, and Direct Synthesis. By implementing PID controller on DC motor, we will analyze performance and Robustness of the system. Generally, Ziegler-Nichols and Cohen-Coon methods give better performance (amount of rise time is about 0.1 s and settling time is under 1 s), and better Robustness too (amount of phase margin is about 400). But if the nonlinearity approximation is applied because of DC motor's limitation, Direct Synthesis method give much better performance. Abstract in Bahasa Indonesia : Kontroler PID adalah kontroler yang sampai sekarang masih banyak digunakan di dunia industri. Hal yang penting pada desain kontroler PID ini ialah menentukan parameter kontroler atau tuning . Beberapa metode tuning yang akan dibahas di sini ialah Ziegler-Nichols, Cohen-Coon, dan Direct Synthesis. Dengan mengimplementasikan kontroler PID pada motor DC, akan dianalisa performansi dan Robustness dari sistem tersebut. Secara umum metode Ziegler-Nichols dan Cohen-Coon memberikan performansi yang lebih baik (rise time sekitar 0.1s dan settling time di bawah 1s), juga Robustness yang lebih baik (phase margin sekitar 400). Namun jika diberikan pendekatan nonlinier akibat keterbatasan motor DC, metode Direct Synthesis memberikan performansi yang jauh lebih baik. Kata kunci: kontroler PID, tuning , robustness
