    "Reflections on the subject of Emigration from Europe with a view to Settlement in the United States: containing bried sketches of the moral and political character of those states. By M. Carey, member of the American philosophical, and of the American Antiquarian Society, and author of The Olive Branch, Cindiciae Hibernicae, essays on banking, on political economy, and on internal improvement. To which are now added the English editor's comments on the subject; together with Important Advice to Emigrants, and Cautions Against Impositions Practiced in the Outports

    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

    Hosted by Roger M. Busfield, MSU Assistant Professor of Speech and Theater, Meet the Author is designed to introduce a general audience to a contemporary author and their work through in-depth interviews. This episode features a conversation between Dr. Glendon Swarthout, prolific author and English professor at MSU, and assistant professors Sam S. Baskett and Theodore B. Strandness

    Polifemo y los delfines. A propósito del ditirambo El Cíclope o Galatea de Filóxeno de Citera

    The love of Polyphemus for Galatea was a new motif in Philoxenus of Cythera’s dithyramb, Cyclops or Galatea, that enjoyed great fortune in Hellenistic poetry. My purpose here is to deepen the reconstruction of this erotic story from some details that have been transmitted by Schol. Theoc. XI 1b, p. 241 Wendel, and commonly gone unnoticed by modern critics.El amor de Polifemo por Galatea fue un tema novedoso en el ditirambo El Cíclope o Galatea de Filóxeno de Citera, que gozó de gran fortuna en la poesía helenística. Es nuestro propósito aquí profundizar en la reconstrucción de esa trama erótica a partir de ciertos detalles argumentales que han sido transmitidos en el Schol. Theoc. XI 1 b, p. 241 Wendel, y comúnmente a los ojos de la crítica moderna han pasado desapercibidos

    Simulation of thermal plant optimization and hydraulic aspects of thermal distribution loops for large campuses

    Following 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

    Produzione e circolazione di ceramica figurata a Pontecagnano: alcune considerazioni preliminari

    No full text
    Nella letteratura archeologica i vasi figurati rinvenuti nelle necropoli di Pontecagnano sono stati generalmente ritenuti quasi tutti di importazione pestana, o comunque relativi agli stessi Pittori e alle stesse Officine noti anche nel centro lucano. Un’analisi più approfondita fornisce, invece, elementi utili a delineare un quadro che solo in parte ricalca quello pestano, consentendo di rilevare significative specificità che inducono a riflessioni più ampie sulla produzione e circolazione dei vasi figurati di Pontecagnano. Inoltre alcuni indizi, più labili alla fine del V sec. a.C. e più consistenti verso la metà del IV sec. a.C., portano a ipotizzare che accanto a vasi importati da Paestum esistano oggetti prodotti localmente
