ESDD Prediction of Outdoor Polymer Insulators
No full textA Master of Science thesis in Electrical Engineering by Abdelrahman Khaled entitled, "ESDD Prediction of Outdoor Polymer Insulators," submitted in June 2015. Thesis advisor is Dr. Ayman Hassan El-Hag and thesis co-advisor is Dr. Khaled Assaleh. Soft and hard copy available.Reliable power transmission is a main factor in designing transmission and distribution lines. Contaminated environments significantly reduce the performance of outdoor insulators in which the accumulation of contamination eventually leads to a complete flashover. The main factors that lead to contamination flashover include, operating voltage, humidity level and temperature. Contamination flashover happens when soluble or non-soluble deposits cover the surface of the insulator, which results in a reduction of the surface resistance. The flashover event is the main problem that affects the life-time of the insulators reducing the security and reliability of the power transmission system. Controlling the risk of flashover is practically done by cleaning and replacing heavily polluted insulators. However, there is no standard technique for scheduling cleaning or maintenance of outdoor insulators, which in some cases can extend for hundreds of kilometers. To make this process as efficient as possible, many researchers are trying to develop techniques for flashover prediction. In the past, some researchers used the leakage current to predict the contamination level on the surface of ceramic and porcelain outdoor insulators. This can help as a mean to warn transmission power operators about the advent of contamination flashover. However, there have been few researches to predict the contamination levels on the surface of non-composite or polymer insulators. This work aims to develop a practical technique to monitor and evaluate the surface condition of non-composite by predicting the soluble contamination level. In this research, the leakage current was used to predict the soluble salt deposit on the surface of polymer insulators. Based on this prediction the surface condition of the insulator was evaluated.College of EngineeringDepartment of Electrical EngineeringMaster of Science in Electrical Engineering (MSEE

Konstruksi Otoritarianisme Hukum Islam Menurut Khaled M. Abou El-Fadl
No full textQuran was sent down for the humanity, its consequently guiding to drive justice, dignity and a mercy of the universe. This paper tried to discribe of the triangle of text, reader and author in islamic legal opinion. The cource strictly to differ where are authoritative and authoritarian in the same time. Here is Khaled Khaled as a prominent moslem thinker standing consistantly in front line againts wahabism on its fatawa or islamic legal opinions. Khaled offers methodology of how to interpret of the meaning of the law texts, it is hermeneutic. The characteristics of this kind of methodology is that there is closed relation to the author, text, context, and interpreting of reader. So, the meaning of Islamic law texts can be classified into two categories, authoritarianism and authoritative meaning
Translating Trauma in Khaled Hosseini’s The Kite Runner
No full textKhaled Hosseini’s 2003 novel The Kite Runner, as the first Afghan novel published in English, garnered attention in a post-9/11 political climate fascinated by the potential for insight offered by its setting and subject matter. The invasion of Afghanistan in 2001 brought unprecedented attention to a region that had been summarily ignored by conceptions of history formulated by the West, despite the impact that Western politics had had on its development. Hosseini’s novel advocates for Afghanistan in a Western context whose dominant discourse has effectively reduced it to “the caves of Tora Bora and poppy fields and Bin Laden”, as Hosseini put it in a foreword to the tenth anniversary edition of The Kite Runner. Hosseini acknowledges an intended Western audience as he emphasizes the fact that The Kite Runner has helped to make Afghanistan more than “just another unhappy, chronically troubled, afflicted land” for his readers (III). Hosseini achieves this in a narrative that traces his protagonist Amir’s journey through political and personal turmoil, and, crucially, as a witness to trauma. At twelve years old, Amir is a bystander to the rape of his childhood friend Hassan; his own inaction during the assault traumatises Amir and leads him to a lifetime spent seeking redemption. This essay traces the ways in which Hosseini presents this assault as an allegory for the national rupture that occurs in Afghanistan during the mid-1970s as the country experiences the collapse of the monarchy and the invasion of Soviet forces. Through the use of this allegory, Hosseini translates the trauma of ongoing conflict for a Western audience
