Quintus Raecius Rufus and the problem of princeps praetorii and trecenarius
No full textRad tematizira natpis nadgrobnog spomenika kojega je Trebia M. f. Procula po oporuci podigla svome mužu Kvintu Reciju Rufu (CIL III, 2917 = 9985 = ILS 2647). Na njemu je zabilježeno da je Q. Raecius Q. f. Rufus služio kao primus pilus XII. legije Fulminatae, da je bio trecenarij i princeps pretorija te da je odlikovan za vojne zasluge u Judejskom ratu Vespazijana i Tita, ali i jednom od dva Trajanova Dačka rata. Autor raspravlja o njegovoj vojnoj karijeri, a najveću pozornost posvećuje funkcijama trecenarija i princepsa pretorija, koje još uvijek predstavljaju popriličnu nepoznanicu u stručnoj literaturi.This paper discusses the funerary inscription which Trebia M. f. Procula in accordance with her last testament raised to her husband Quintus Raecius Rufus (CIL III, 2917 = 9985 = ILS 2647). It records that Q. Raecius Q. f. Rufus served as primus pilus in legio XII Fulminata, that he was trecenarius and princeps praetorii, decorated for military service in the Judean war of Vespasian and Titus, and in one of the Trajan’s Dacian Wars. The author discusses his military career, with much attention given to the functions of trecenarius and princeps praetorii, which are still a substantially unknown concept in modern literature
Veterani qui militaverunt sub P. Memmio Regulo (ad CIL 3, 2028 = 8753)
No full textPosredstvom rukopisnih inačica sačuvan je iznimno zanimljiv podatak o danas izgubljenom natpisu iz Salone, podignutom u čast L. Precilija Klementa Julijana, primipilara i prefekta tabora V. legije Makedonike (CIL 3, 2028 = 8753). Spomenik su posredstvom nekoliko (vjerojatno trojice) muških osoba dali podići veterani qui militaverunt sub P. Memmio Regulo legato Augusti et missi sunt Q. Futio Lusio Saturnino M. Seio Varano consulibus, a s obzirom na dataciju navedenoga konzulskog para (početak Klaudijeva principata), taj se natpis pokušao povezati s Plinijevim navodom da je Klaudije dao naseliti veterane u Sikule. Autor odbacuje takvu mogućnost te zaključuje da navedeni veterani nisu bili naseljeni na području Dalmacije, što je vjerojatno bio razlog zašto su dali imenovati opunomoćenike kako bi se podizanje počasnoga spomenika na području Salone sprovelo u djelo.With the aid of several manuscripts, the knowledge about the nowadays lost inscription from Salona – erected in the honour of L. Praecilius Clemens Iulianus, primipilaris and prefectus castrorum of legio V Macedonica – has been preserved (CIL 3, 2028 = 8753). Through the
mediation of several individuals (probably three), the monument was erected by veterani qui militaverunt sub P. Memmio Regulo legato Augusti et missi sunt Q. Futio Lusio Saturnino M. Seio Varano consulibus, and considering the dating of the said consular pair (beginning of Claudius’ reign), the inscription has been linked with the statement of Pliny the Elder that the emperor Claudius had settled the veterans in Siculi. The author rejects such a possibility and concludes that the mentioned veterans were not settled in the area of Dalmatia, which was probably the reason why they appointed assignees to erect the honorary monument in the area of Salona

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe 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 discuss the possible beneficial effects of a selective activator of vitamin D receptor, paricalcitol, on the cardiovascular system in chronic heart failure patients and chronic kidney patients, in light of new trials. Paricalcitol should provide additional clinical benefits over the standard treatment for chronic kidney and heart failure, especially in cases of cardiorenal syndrome.Keywords: vitamin D deficiency, cardiovascular system, albuminuria, inflammatio

Simulation of thermal plant optimization and hydraulic aspects of thermal distribution loops for large campuses
No full textFollowing an introduction, the author describes Texas A&M University and its utilities system. After that, the author presents how to construct simulation models for chilled water and heating hot water distribution systems. The simulation model was used in a $2.3 million Ross Street chilled water pipe replacement project at Texas A&M University. A second project conducted at the University of Texas at San Antonio was used as an example to demonstrate how to identify and design an optimal distribution system by using a simulation model. The author found that the minor losses of these closed loop thermal distribution systems are significantly higher than potable water distribution systems. In the second part of the report, the author presents the latest development of software called the Plant Optimization Program, which can simulate cogeneration plant operation, estimate its operation cost and provide optimized operation suggestions. The author also developed detailed simulation models for a gas turbine and heat recovery steam generator and identified significant potential savings. Finally, the author also used a steam turbine as an example to present a multi-regression method on constructing simulation models by using basic statistics and optimization algorithms. This report presents a survey of the author??s working experience at the Energy Systems Laboratory (ESL) at Texas A&M University during the period of January 2002 through March 2004. The purpose of the above work was to allow the author to become familiar with the practice of engineering. The result is that the author knows how to complete a project from start to finish and understands how both technical and nontechnical aspects of a project need to be considered in order to ensure a quality deliverable and bring a project to successful completion. This report concludes that the objectives of the internship were successfully accomplished and that the requirements for the degree of Degree of Engineering have been satisfied
Intern experience at CH���M Hill, Inc.: an internship report
No full textIncludes author's vita"Submitted to the College of Engineering of Texas A&M University in partial
fulfillment of the requirement for the degree of Doctor of Engineering."Includes bibliographical referencesA review of the author's internship experience with CH���M HILL, Inc.
during the period September 1975 through May 1976 is presented. During this nine month
internship the author worked as an Engineer II in the Industrial Processes discipline of this
large consulting engineering firm... The author's prime responsibility was as one of three
lead design engineers on the design of a large wastewater treatment facility for a pulp mill
in Hoquiam, Washington owned by ITT Rayonier Inc. The work generally consisted of the design
of individual treatment units and associated piping and pumping. The purpose of the project
was to provide wastewater treatment capabilities that would satisfy the effluent limitations
(standards) imposed upon the mill by the State of Washington Department of Ecology and the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The author's assignment also entailed necessary
interaction with the project manager and other CH���M HILL design engineers and support staff
members, the client's representatives, and representatives of two other consulting engineering
firms working on the project. Thus, the internship position at CH���M HILL provided considerable
experience coordinating the author's work with the work of other engineers, guiding the design
and administrative efforts of a support staff, and interacting regularly with the client and
other consulting firms. This broad exposure to a variety of engineering and organizational
problems provided a valuable educational experience
