Performance evaluation of corner effect in 3G network in user perspective / Muhammad Ashraf Zulkapli
Full text linkThe purpose of this project is to analyze corner effect in 3G network. In this paper, two 3G service provider in Malaysia were selected in order to obtain more accurate data. Software used in this drive test is RF signal tracker and G-Net track from Google Play installed on android mobile phone. The drive test data was collected alongside Jalan Tun Razak, Jalan Ampang and Jalan Yap Kwan Seng. The drive test data further analyze by using Google Earth, and graph was plot by using Microsoft Excel .The main parameter to determine corner effects are Ec/No and RSCP level of User Equipment. From drive test conducted, Celcom show a better performance in 3G signal quality as compare to U Mobile. Corner effect was happen near to Ampang Park and both service providers experienced the same problem. Corner effect happen when user equipment experience sudden drop in signal level. Problem occur because of blockage in line of sight between user equipment and Node B. Detail analysis on corner effect included in next part of this paper
Enhancing MCMC performance by using Balanced Score Card: a drive on Malaysia’s digital economy
Full text linkPerformance Management is one of the important component for any Organisation and failure to manage it effectively leads to inability to measure its overall performance. This study was aimed to resolve the organisation problem in measuring its overall performance by using Balanced Score Card (BSC) and determine whether the Organisation’s Overall Performance have any impact on the Digital Economy. This study is importance in understanding the feasibility to implement BSC in Statutory Body in Malaysia. In the first cycle, Intervention Plan implemented by using all 4 BSC Perspective namely Financial, Customer, Internal Process and Learning Growth. For the first cycle, both Quantitative and Qualitative approaches employed in this research. This study able to ensure structured Performance Management System to measure Organisation’s Overall Performance and identify its linkage to Digital Economy. This research has able to change the Organisation PMS by using strategic tool to measure Outcome based KPIs for the Organization as well as providing accurate PMS Reporting that reflect the Organization Overall Performance. Since BSC is a Strategic Performance Management Tool, there is some gap when it implemented directly to the individual level. In order to complement the BSC, Agile Performance Management System knowing as Must Do, Should Do and Could Do (MSC) was employed in second cycle. The effectiveness of combination of BSC and MSC was verified by using Quantitative Approach and results shows that BSC and MSC has increased the performance employees and Organisation as a whole
Performance evaluation of corner effect in 3G network in user perspective / Muhammad Ashraf Zulkapli
Full text linkThe purpose of this project is to analyze corner effect in 3G network. In this paper, two 3G service provider in Malaysia were selected in order to compare signal coverage performance in selected route. Software used in this drive test is RF signal tracker and G-Net track from Google Play installed on android mobile phone. The drive test data was collected alongside Jalan Tun Razak, Jalan Ampang and Jalan Yap Kwan Seng. The drive test data further analyze by using Google Earth, and graph was plot by using Microsoft Excel. The main parameter to determine corner effects are Ec/No and RSCP level of User Equipment. From drive test conducted, Service Provider A show a better performance in 3G signal quality as compare to Service Provider B. Corner effect was happen near to Ampang Park and both service providers experienced the same problem. Corner effect happen when user equipment experience sudden drop in signal level. Problem occur because of blockage in line of sight between user equipment and Node B. Detail analysis on corner effect included in next part of this paper
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
