Perilaku Homoseksual: Mencari Akar Pada Faktor Genetik Prof. Dr. Ing. Ir. Misri Gozan, M.tech. Universitas Indonesia
No full textThe study based on literatures on this article presents data that is critical discourses ofhomosexuality and genetics. This article does not disclose the direction of Islam in termsof homosexuality because it is so obvious expressed in the Koran and explained by therighteous mufassir, muslim clerics and scholars. There is no strong data linking specificgenetic factors with the emergence of homosexual behavior. Research conducted by theproponents of homosexual showed no single gene that govern human behavior which is avery complex phenomena. In other words, the genes do not determine behavior ofhomosexuality in particular. Expressed genes responsible for the nature of homosexualityis also interpreted as genes responsible for other mental problems. The experts furtherrevealed that homosexual orientation is strongly affected by the events and stimuliexperienced by either of the environment with a growing degree of openness tohomosexual behavior as well as due to the availability of information, especially incyberspace. Some chemicals are suspected of causing physical changes and influence onsexual orientation. Efforts of healing through action or medical intervention are notimpossible. Some researches suggest that homosexual behavior is more aggressive thanmen hetersexual both in individual and family scale. The author sees the belief thatgenetic factors are the reason for accepting homosexual behavior has no strong scientificroots. Behavior of homosexuality thus can actually be, or should be, repaired and healed
Annotazioni per la morfologia di una Gozan bunka
No full textSe le periodizzazioni storico-cronologiche Kamakura-Ashikaga hanno una legittimità sul piano della scansione politico-istituzionale, non ne hanno sotto il profilo culturale, ancor meno se, nella seconda età, si ricorre alle sottoclassificazioni Kitayama bunka e Higashiyama bunka. La fase intercorsa all’incirca fra l’inizio del 1200 e la metà del 1400, infatti, si presenta come omogenea su tutto il territorio nazionale, con un andamento inizialmente concentrico, dato dal nucleo propulsore delle prime sedi monastiche in cui furono impartiti anche precetti del chan cinese (unitamente alle dottrine del tradizionale magistero buddhista). In breve tempo, però, la fondazione di sedi monastiche esclusive del Rinzai e la ramificazione capillare dell’istituzione Gozan jissatsu, lungi dal rimanere relegata ad un ambito di sola rappresentanza e azione religiosa, investì l’intero clima culturale della società giapponese. L’iter sarebbe stato laborioso, dalle espressioni ritualistiche degli esordi fino a quelle più profane del quotidiano di ogni strato sociale, e avrebbe gettato i semi dell’imprinting culturale del Giappone Tokugawa, fra '600 e '800.
Pertanto, il riconosciuto fenomeno Gozan bungaku (che non può dirsi relegato al solo ambito elitario esegetico e poetico) sarebbe un singolo aspetto di un vasto processo istituzionale, politico, economico, artistico che mosse dalle sedi monastiche ma che pervase tutta la storia del Giappone per più di 250 anni e che può, a buon diritto, essere titolato Gozan bunka jidai, “Evo della Cultura dei Cinque Monti”

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
Enrichment process of biogas using simultaneous Absorption - Adsorption methods
No full text© 2017 Author(s). Removal of CO2 in biogas is an essential methods to the purification and upgrading of biogas. Natural Clinoptilolite zeolites were evaluated as sorbents for purification of biogas that produced from palm oil mill effluent (POME) by anerobic-digestion method. The absorption and adsorption experiments were conducted in a fixed-bed two column adsorption unit by simultaneous absorption-adsorption method. The Ca(OH)2 solution with concentration of 0.062 M was used as absorption method. Sorbent for removal of CO2 in biogas have been prepared by modifying of Clinoptilolite zeolites with an acid (HCl, 2M) and alkaline (NaOH, 2M), calcined at 450°C and then coated using chitosan (0.5 w/v%) in order to increase their adsorption capacity. The removal of CO2 in biogas was achieved about ∼83% using 2.5?g of sorbent zeolite (2M)/chitosan dosage for each column, breakthrough time of 30?min, and flow rate of 100?mL/min. Clinoptilolite zeolites with modifications of an acid-alkaline and chitosan (zeolite (2M)/chitosan) are promising sorbents due to the amine groups from chitosan and high surface-volume ratio are one of important factors in a simultaneous absorption-adsorption method
Intern experience at CH���M Hill, Inc.: an internship report
No full textIncludes author's vita"Submitted to the College of Engineering of Texas A&M University in partial
fulfillment of the requirement for the degree of Doctor of Engineering."Includes bibliographical referencesA review of the author's internship experience with CH���M HILL, Inc.
during the period September 1975 through May 1976 is presented. During this nine month
internship the author worked as an Engineer II in the Industrial Processes discipline of this
large consulting engineering firm... The author's prime responsibility was as one of three
lead design engineers on the design of a large wastewater treatment facility for a pulp mill
in Hoquiam, Washington owned by ITT Rayonier Inc. The work generally consisted of the design
of individual treatment units and associated piping and pumping. The purpose of the project
was to provide wastewater treatment capabilities that would satisfy the effluent limitations
(standards) imposed upon the mill by the State of Washington Department of Ecology and the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The author's assignment also entailed necessary
interaction with the project manager and other CH���M HILL design engineers and support staff
members, the client's representatives, and representatives of two other consulting engineering
firms working on the project. Thus, the internship position at CH���M HILL provided considerable
experience coordinating the author's work with the work of other engineers, guiding the design
and administrative efforts of a support staff, and interacting regularly with the client and
other consulting firms. This broad exposure to a variety of engineering and organizational
problems provided a valuable educational experience
Transition to turbulence in a qblique shock-wave/boundary-layer interaction at M=15
No full textDirect numerical simulations are carried out for different forcing techniques to trigger transition during the interaction between an oblique shock-wave and a laminar boundary-layer at M = 1.5. Three forcing methods are used: a) forcing of oblique unstable modes, whose shape and behaviour are determined by the local linear stability theory, b) broadband free-stream acoustic disturbances, and c) a cold plasma flow control device. While the oblique-mode breakdown is dominant for low-amplitude forcing, long streaky structures drive the transition process in a high-amplitude disturbance environment. LES are also performed on the experimental setup by the Institute of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics (ITAM) from Novosibirsk State University with cold plasma actuation. As well as the disturbance type, the effect of Reynolds number and forcing amplitude will be investigated
