Life at war and the heroic illusions created to cope with war: a study of Stephen Crane and Tim O'Brien
No full textThis thesis will examine the fictional war novels, The Red Badge of Courage by Stephen Crane and Going after Cacciato by Tim O‘Brien. It will examine the heroic illusions created by soldiers on the frontline as psychological coping mechanisms as a means to escape the realities of war. It will also examine how Stephen Crane and Tim O‘Brien create protagonists and characters that struggle to understand the conflicts within themselves as consequences of their developing point of view toward themselves, their war comrades, and their society‘s values and how each of these writers through observing battlefield experience comes to question the meaning of war and its effects. Stephen Crane and Tim O‘Brien investigate the moral and cultural values of their respective societies. Crane portrays the Victorian era O‘Brien examines1960‘s America. Each novel asks us to view their war with both irony and sympathy.M.A.L.S.Includes bibliographical referencesby Gaye L. Alle
Francofonía y literatura: análisis del cuento “Khary-Gaye” de Birago Diop
No full textThis article begins with a general introduction to the concept of “Francophonie” (its origins and the different geographic regions that it comprises, in the framework of the Research Project about the main XXth and XXIst century writers belonging to “Francophonie”); after that, there is a brief presentation of the Senegalese author Birago Diop and it ends with a succinct analysis of his tale “Khary-Gaye”. En este artículo, se empieza por una introducción general al concepto de la Francofonía (sus orígenes y las diferentes regiones geográficas que cubre, en el marco del Proyecto de Investigación sobre principales escritores/as de la francofonía de los siglos XX y XXI); luego se efectúa una breve presentación del autor senegalés Birago Diop y se finaliza con un análisis somero de su cuento “Khary-Gaye”.
CHIMNEY (James Cook 152) multibeam bathymetry (MB710) data from Scanner Pockmark, North Sea
No full textMultibeam bathymetry data were collected around the Scanner Pockmark in the northern North Sea, by RRS James Cook (JC152) in August-September 2017 during the CHIMNEY survey (NERC grant NE/N016130/1). The multibeam data were acquired using MB710 along the seismic profiles and processed by the JC152 Science Party. Two grids are available, a larger area (10 m grid interval), and a dense (2.5 m interval) grid provides the micro bathymetry around the Scanner and Scotia pockmarks. Two jpeg images are available to see the lateral extent of the data. Please refer to CHIMNEY NERC grant reference NE/N016130/1 and this DOI when using this data.</span

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
