No full text?m-statistical convergence
No full textIn this paper, we define a general sequence space ?m (X) = {x = (xk) : (?m xk) ? X}, (m ? N), where X is any sequence space. We establish some inclusion relations, topological results and we characterize the continuous duals of ?m (X). Furthermore we introduce of ?m-statistical convergence and given inclusion relation between ?m (wp)-convergence and ?m-statistically convergence. The results are more general than those of Kizmaz [3], Fridy [6], Conor [7], Basarir [8], Et-Colak [9] and Salat [10]

Modeling of a smart grid system using real time data on NEPLAN
No full textThe simulation model of the Smart Grids Laboratory of the Institute of Energy and Transport is presented in this paper and a day of its operation is analyzed. The developed model simulates six different modules (a photovoltaic array, a Li-ion battery storage system, a small wind turbine, a diesel generator, a laboratory load and the connection point with the grid). The modules are connected radially at a common bus

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

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
Statistical modeling of Chevreul's salt recovery from leach solutions containing copper
No full textIn this study, oxidized copper ore was dissolved under optimum conditions [temperature 14 degrees C, average particle size 2.8 mm, stirring speed 500 rpm, ammonia concentration 2.824 mol L-1, ammonium sulphate concentration 0.236 mol L-1, solid-to-liquid ratio 0.167 g mL(-1), leaching time 2 h] in an aqueous NH3-(NH4)(2) SO4 solution [T. Calban, S. Colak, M. Yesilyurt, Optimization of leaching of copper from oxidized copper ore in NH3-(NH4)(2)SO4 medium, Chem. Eng. Commun., in press]. Chevreul's salt was precipitated by passing SO2 from these leach solutions. Chevreul's salt, a mixed valence copper sulfite Cu2SO3 center dot CuSO3 center dot 2H(2)O, was characterized by XRD and SEM. The effects of parameters, such as temperature, pH, stirring speed and reaction time, were investigated on precipitation of Chevreul's salt. 2" factorial experimental design and orthogonal central composite design methods in the precipitation experiments were used. It was observed that the most effective parameters on the precipitation of Chevreul's salt were temperature, stirring speed and reaction time. The optimum conditions established for maximum copper precipitation were: temperature 62 degrees C, pH 3, stirring speed 600 rpm, reaction time 12 min. Fixed parameters chosen at the initial stage of the reaction were: SO2 flow rate 358 L h(-1), concentration of CuSO4 solution 7.383 g Cu L-1. Under these optimum conditions, the percentage of copper precipitated from leach solution was 99.92. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved
