    The number of tourist place in Simalungun District, resulting in the difficulty determine the shortest path from each tour that will be visited. The application system that can be used to determine the shortest path is a Graph simulation application. The algorithm used in this Graph is the Random walk and the L-Deque algorithm. The use of a combination of these two methods is to compare the two algorithms in determining the shortest distance of existing tourist attractions in Simalungun District. This research shows data from Badan Pemantapan Kawan Hutan (BPKH) and visiting to some research area. Based on the results of the shortest path search using Random walk and L-Deque algorithm resulted in total distance route and different Running time. Random walk algorithm has running time value slower than L-Deque algorithm.But L-Deque has more optimum total distance and faster running time than Random walk algorithm.Banyaknya tempat wisata di Kabupaten Simalungun, mengakibatkan sulitnya menentukan jarak terpendek dari setiap wisata yang akan di kunjungi. Sistem aplikasi yang dapat digunakan untuk menentukan lokasi terpendek ( Shortest Path) adalah aplikasi simulasi Graph. Algoritma yang digunakan dalam Graph ini adalah Random walk dan algoritma L-Deque. Adapun penggunaan kombinasi kedua metode ini adalah untuk membandingkan kedua algoritma dalam menentukan jarak terpendek tempat wisata yang ada di Kabupaten Simalungun. Penelitian ini menghasilkan data yang diperoleh dari Badan Pemantapan Kawasan Hutan (BPKH) dan kunjungan langsung kebeberapa daerah penelitian. Berdasarkan hasil pencarian rute terpendek tersebut dengan menggunakan Random walk dan algoritma L-Deque menghasilkan rute total jarak dan Running time yang berbeda. Algoritma Random walk memiliki nilai running time yang lebih lama dibandingkan algoritma L-Deque. Tetapi L-Deque memiliki total jarak yang lebih optimum dan running time yang lebih cepat dibandingkan algoritma Random walk.Skripsi Sarjan

    Evaluation of Probabilistic Quality and Value of the ENSEMBLES Multimodel Seasonal Forecasts: Comparison with DEMETER

    No full text
    The performance of the new multimodel seasonal prediction system developed in the framework of the European Commission FP7 project called ENSEMBLE-based predictions of climate changes and their impacts (ENSEMBLES) is compared with the results from the previous project [i.e., Development of a European Multimodel Ensemble System for Seasonal-to-Interannual Prediction (DEMETER)]. The comparison is carried out over the five seasonal prediction systems (SPSs) that participated in both projects. Since DEMETER, the contributing SPSs have improved in all aspects with the main advancements including the increase in resolution, the better representation of subgrid physical processes, land, sea ice, and greenhouse gas boundary forcing, and the more widespread use of assimilation for ocean initialization. The ENSEMBLES results show an overall enhancement for the prediction of anomalous surface temperature conditions. However, the improvement is quite small and with considerable space time variations. In the tropics, ENSEMBLES systematically improves the sharpness and the discrimination attributes of the forecasts. Enhancements of the ENSEMBLES resolution attribute are also reported in the tropics for the forecasts started 1 February, 1 May, and 1 November. Our results indicate that, in ENSEMBLES, an increased portion of prediction signal from the single-models effectively contributes to amplify the multimodel forecasts skill. On the other hand, a worsening is shown for the multimodel calibration over the tropics compared to DEMETER. Significant changes are also shown in northern midlatitudes, where the ENSEMBLES multimodel discrimination, resolution, and reliability improve for February, May, and November starting dates. However, the ENSEMBLES multimodel decreases the capability to amplify the performance with respect to the contributing single models for the forecasts started in February, May, and August. This is at least partly due to the reduced overconfidence of the ENSEMBLES single models with respect to the DEMETER counterparts. Provided that they are suitably calibrated beforehand, it is shown that the ENSEMBLES multimodel forecasts represent a step forward for the potential economical value they can supply. A warning for all potential users concerns the need for calibration due to the degraded tropical reliability compared to DEMETER. In addition, the superiority of recalibrating the ENSEMBLES predictions through the discrimination information is shown. Concerning the forecasts started in August, ENSEMBLES exhibits mixed results over both tropics and northern midlatitudes. In this case, the increased potential predictability compared to DEMETER appears to be balanced by the reduction in the independence of the SPSs contributing to ENSEMBLES. Consequently, for the August start dates no clear advantage of using one multimodel system instead of the other can be evidenced

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    No full text
    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

    Greedy Is an Almost Optimal Deque

    In this paper we extend the geometric binary search tree (BST) model of Demaine, Harmon, Iacono, Kane, and Patrascu (DHIKP) to accommodate for insertions and deletions. Within this extended model, we study the online Greedy BST algorithm introduced by DHIKP. Greedy BST is known to be equivalent to a maximally greedy (but inherently offline) algorithm introduced independently by Lucas in 1988 and Munro in 2000, conjectured to be dynamically optimal. With the application of forbidden-submatrix theory, we prove a quasilinear upper bound on the performance of Greedy BST on deque sequences. It has been conjectured (Tarjan, 1985) that splay trees (Sleator and Tarjan, 1983) can serve such sequences in linear time. Currently neither splay trees, nor other general-purpose BST algorithms are known to fulfill this requirement. As a special case, we show that Greedy BST can serve output-restricted deque sequences in linear time. A similar result is known for splay trees (Tarjan, 1985; Elmasry, 2004). As a further application of the insert-delete model, we give a simple proof that, given a set U of permutations of [n], the access cost of any BST algorithm is Omega(log |U| + n) on "most" of the permutations from U. In particular, this implies that the access cost for a random permutation of [n] is Omega(n log n) with high probability. Besides the splay tree noted before, Greedy BST has recently emerged as a plausible candidate for dynamic optimality. Compared to splay trees, much less effort has gone into analyzing Greedy BST. Our work is intended as a step towards a full understanding of Greedy BST, and we remark that forbidden-submatrix arguments seem particularly well suited for carrying out this program

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

    No full text
    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
