Studying Repleteness in the Category of Cpos
No full textAbstractWe consider the notion of replete object in the category of directed complete partial orders and Scott-continuous functions, and show that, contrary to previous expectations, there are non-replete objects. The same happens in the case of ω-complete posets
Adam Makkai
No full textAdam Makkai nasceu em 16 de dezembro e 1935, em Budapest, Hungria, em uma família de escritores, juízes e ministros da Igreja Húngara Reformada. Ele fez os dois primeiros anos escolares em alemão antes da guerra. Após a guerra aprendeu também russo e francês. Depois de um breve período estudando Direito na universidade, ele começou a estudar francês como opção principal durante dois anos, mas seus estudos foram interrompidos pela Revolução e ele escapou para o Oeste em 1956. Chegou nos Estados Unidos em janeiro de 1957 e foi logo admitido na Universidade de Harvard, onde recebeu um B.A cum laude em russo como primeira opção e francês como segunda. De 1958-1960 Makkai passou dois anos no Havaí, onde lecionou alemão, russo, francês e latim. Em seguida ele ganhou uma bolsa para a Universidade de Yale, onde concluiu um M.A. e Ph.D. em Linguística Geral (1962, 1965), sob a orientação de Sydney M. Lamb, motivo pelo qual tornou-se um praticante de Linguística Estratificacional e um crítico ferrenho da Gramática Gerativa. A tese de doutorado foi sobre a estrutura das expressões idiomáticas em inglês (Idiom structure in English), publicada como livro em 1972 (Haia: Mouton), com o mesmo título.

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

Busfield, MSU Assistant Professor of Speech and Theater, Meet the Author is designed to introduce a general audience to a contemporary author and their work through in-depth interviews. This episode features a conversation between Dr. Glendon Swarthout, prolific author and English professor at MSU, and assistant professors Sam S. Baskett and Theodore B. Strandness
Dualities in operational form
No full textIn (2), Brian Davey poses the question: "Which finite algebras admit a duality?" The answer to this question has eluded mathematicians for many years and a simple characterization of those algebras which are dualizable (in a reasonable way) seems an unlikely feat. I will consider the question "Which finite (operational) algebras admit a duality which may be expressed in a purely operational form?". This is a substantially less ambitious question, for there are many algebras which are dualizable but not operationally so. However, it does have a clear answer
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
The ‘oldest tricks in the book’ don’t work! Reports of burglary by DUMA detainees in Western Australia
No full textExplores the methods and motivations of those actively involved in committing burglaries.
Foreword
Research investigating the methods and motivations of burglars has typically focused on incarcerated offenders. The Australian Institute of Criminology’s Drug Use Monitoring in Australia (DUMA) program provided an opportunity for the authors to explore the methods and motivations of those actively involved in committing burglaries, whether or not they had actually been caught or detained for that offence.
The findings support Routine Activity Theory, indicating that offenders consider a number of factors in determining whether a property will be targeted for a break and enter offence. As might be expected, opportunistic burglars choose easy to access properties, stay a minimum length of time and take goods that can be disposed of easily. It was concluded that simple prevention strategies could minimise the risk of becoming a victim of opportunistic burglary, which also has implications for law enforcement, the security industry and insurance agencies
