Judex: hope for the hopeful and the hopeless.
No full textThis seminar was the tenth meeting or cross-cultural conversation (CCC) organised by the Interdisciplinary Forum for the Study of Jurisprudence and Value Inquiry in the Non-Western World (JVI), convened by Olufemi Ilesanmi (RGU). This seminar formed part of a day-long event encompassing the seventh through tenth CCCs, which was co-organised by Olufemi Ilesanmi and Lateef Onireti Ibrahim (University of Ilorin), and which featured opening remarks by Veronica Strachan (RGU) and closing remarks by Wahab Olasupo Egbewole (University of Ilorin). This particular seminar, moderated by Yusuf Olaolu Ali (Ghalib Chambers), featured a discussion by a panel consisting of Helen M. Ogunwumiju (Supreme Court of Nigeria), Tinashe Madebwe (RGU) and Thomas E. Kelvin (Texas Southern University). The topic of the seminar was how courts and the law are often perceived to serve the wealthy rather than being an equitable service for all

Parameterizing the Wind Friction Velocity and Characterization of Flow Regimes at Omu Creek, Mahin in Ilaje Local Government Area, Ondo State, Southwestern Nigeria
No full textOne (1) hourly data of variables such as 10 m wind speed (u10), sea surface temperature (SST) and 2 m air temperature obtained from ERA5 Reanalysis over a 84 year (1940-2023) period were used to statistically evaluate the performance of thirteen (13) proposed predictive equations and some existing equations to predict wind friction velocity (u*) at omu creek, Mahin in Ilaje Local Government Area, Ondo State, Southwestern Nigeria. Results showed that Equation (9), u* = a + b(u) + c(Tr) + d(Tm) performed best in predicting u*. The frequency of the wind flow characteristics has been investigated in the location. Results showed that the transitional flow prevailed in the location. Also, investigation on the temporal trends in the wind flow characteristics showed that transition flow exhibited an inclining and the strongest trend of 0.0556% yr−1 throughout the study period. The aerodynamically smooth flow and the fully rough flow exhibited declining trends of −0.0495% yr−1 and −0.006% yr−1 respectively. Lastly, Equation (9) is tested in near and far waters. Findings showed that the formula performed best in Bijimi. This is attributed to the nearness of the location to omu creek than the rest locations. The formula showed the worst performance in Bakingil, Cameroon

Towards Energy Efficient Relay Placement and Load Balancing in Future Wireless Networks
No full textThis paper presents an energy efficient relay deployment algorithm that determines the optimal location and number of relays for future wireless networks, including Long Term Evolution (LTE)-Advanced heterogeneous networks. We formulate an energy minimization problem for macro-relay heterogeneous networks as a Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP) problem. The proposed algorithm not only optimally connects users to either relays or eNodeBs (eNBs), but also allows eNBs to switch into inactive mode. This is possible by enabling relay-to-relay communication which forms the basis for relays to act as donors for neighboring relays instead of eNBs. Moreover, it relaxes traffic load of some eNBs in order to allow them to enter the inactive mode. We characterize the optimal as well as provide an approximate solution, which, however, performs very closely to the optimum. Our performance evaluation shows that an optimal relay deployment with relays acting as donors can significantly improve system energy efficiency

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
