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

Mechanical characterization of mixed particleboard panels made of recycled wood and Arundo donax
No full textThe giant reed, Arundo donax (A. donax) is a fast and naturally growing species in the Mediterranean Area indicated as one of the 15 invasive species with greatest impact by the European Commission within the Ecosystem Vulnerability Key Actrion. It is a greatly available but non-fully exploited material regarded as a problem both in agriculture and in watercourse management. This study explores the potential use of A. donax as an alternative material in the production of particleboard panels. The research, conducted in collaboration with the industrial sector, evaluates the mechanical and physical properties of sandwich particleboards in which part of the recycled wood chips are replaced with varying percentages of A. donax chips only in the core of the board. The work demonstrates the feasibility of such a board using industrial procedures and the capability of A. donax to improve the physical and mechanical performance of the recycled wood particleboard without altering the production process or adding resin. The particleboards were manufactured in three densities (550, 680 and 750 kg/m3) and tested for thickness swelling, surface soundness, internal bond and bending strength. The results reveal that particleboards containing 20–35 % of A. donax by mass, particularly for high densities, improved mechanical properties and reduced the thickness swelling, meeting the requirements for class P4 particleboards resulting in an upgrade of the wood recycled panel’s classification. This investigation highlights the viability of integrating A. donax into particleboard production, potentially reducing reliance on imported wood, improving the mechanical properties of recycled wood particleboards and promoting sustainable and locally sourced materials
Assessment of the polyphenol recovery from white wine lees via non-ionic polymeric resins
No full text[EN] Wine lees, a significant by-product of the wine industry, are an underutilized but valuable resource for nutraceutical recovery, as they are rich in bioactive compounds, particularly polyphenols. This study introduces a
novel and eco-friendly method for extracting and purifying polyphenols from white grape wine lees. Solid-liquid
extraction was conducted using water and a 25 % w/w ethanol-water hydroalcoholic solution, resulting in
aqueous (Aq) and hydroalcoholic (HA) extracts. Five food-grade, non-ionic polymeric resins (XAD7HP,
XAD16HP, MN202, PAD900, and PAD950) were evaluated for polyphenol purification. Resin MN202 emerged as
the most effective for this purpose.
Under static conditions with the Aqueous extract, the MN202 resin achieved an adsorption ratio (AR) of up to
60.5 % and a desorption ratio of 97.9 %, yielding a total adsorption-desorption efficiency (TADY) of 59.2 %. In
contrast, the TADY for glucose and fructose was minimal at just 0.36 % and 11.25 %, respectively, highlighting
the resin¿s high selectivity for separating polyphenols from sugars. Adsorption isotherms (Langmuir, Freundlich,
Sips, and Redlich-Peterson) followed the Langmuir isotherm model, indicating monolayer adsorption. Both
adsorption and desorption conformed to pseudo-second-order kinetics, dominated by multilayer intraparticle
diffusion. Under dynamic conditions, polyphenol recovery decreased to 44 %, though the purified polyphenols
remained suitable for high-value applications. Overall, this process potentially provides a promising and sustainable approach for recovering polyphenols from wine lees, with strong potential for scaling and use in nutraceutical and antioxidant products.The author Martina Gagliano ` acknowledges the University of Calabria and POR

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
