The formation volume in rare earth intermetallic systems: A representation by means of atomic physical quantities
No full textThe formation of the intermetallic phases is often accompanied by large volume effects, and several interpretations of this phenomenon have been proposed following different approaches, either from a simply empirical or purely theoretical point of view. In his pioneering work, Biltz (Biltz 1934) employed the experimental density values to list the molar volumes of the elements and of numerous inorganic and organic solids, including intermetallic phases. The systematic analysis of the data allowed the scientist to estimate the effective volumes of the atoms within the compounds, making possible the application of the volume additivity. Machlin studied the effects of electronegativity on energy and volume of formation, assuming that the volume corrections depend on the Gordy electronegativity difference (Machlin 1980). Watson and Bennett obtained 82a good correlation between the volume effects shown by the phases of the transition elements and a scale resembling the Gordy electronegativity, while a cellular method was applied to estimate the volume changes in phases with alkaline and alkaline earth metals (Watson and Bennett 1982, 1984). Alonso showed that a model of a disordered binary alloy of nontransition metals explains the tendency to a negative deviation from Vegard’s law as this lowers the energy of formation (Alonso et al. 1984). In the Miedema model (Miedema and Niessen 1982), the volume contraction in metallic systems can be ascribed to a charge transfer effect, described mainly by the differences both in an electronegativity-like scale (F*) and in the electron density parameter (nWS). Moreover, in systems with atoms of different radius, a further volume contraction may arise from elastic size mismatch energy. The differences in electronegativity are ignored in the Hafner approach, based on the lowest-order pseudopotential perturbation theory (Hafner 1985). This method provides good results for extended solid solutions of homovalent systems (intra-alkaline and intra-alkaline-earth alloys) and for some intermetallics of the cited elements. A phenomenological approach was used to describe the volume effects displayed by the intermetallic compounds formed by alkaline earths (Ca, Sr, Ba) and divalent rare earths (Eu, Yb) (Merlo 1988) and by the trivalent rare earths (Merlo and Fornasini 1993), introducing a charge transfer atomic parameter, correlated with Pauling’s electronegativity. More recently, the volume contractions of the binary phases of Ca, Sr, Ba, Eu and Yb were represented by a simple equation containing the electronegativity, the compressibility and the group number (Fornasini and Merlo 2006). The most advanced method is based on the calculation of partial atomic volumes and charges as a function of composition (Baranov et al. 2007)
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

Representations and narratives of F to M Gender Dysphoric subjects: Self, Body and psycho-traumatology in comparison with M to F transsexualism
No full textThe present study was aimed at extending the method previously used with M to F gender dysphoric patients, to F to M individuals. In particular, the aim of the study was to highlight global and particular representations of the subjects. The study involved 10 gender dysphoric subjects in F to M transition, aged between 18 to 26 years old. Rorschach and the Thematic Apperception Test were administered with particular attention to the detection of psycho-traumatic indexes. The data reached through the extension of the method to F to M subjects revealed a continuity between the two groups. Referring to Self-representation, the subjects produced mainly objectual responses, indicative of a global representation affected by the current physical condition. In terms of Body representation, the subjects provided answers demonstrating the presence of partiality and fragmentation, indicative of a body representation supporting the term dysphoria. Approximately 30% of the subjects\u27 responses indicated the presence of consistent psycho-traumatology. In comparative terms, F to M subjects provided quantitatively and quantitatively similar answers to M to F subjects, with a greater number of fragmentary responses and a lower presence of psycho-traumatic indexes
Unconditional M-quantile regression
No full textIn this paper we develop the unconditional M-quantile regression for modeling unconditional M-quantiles in the presence of covariates. Extending the paper by Firpo et al. (2009), we assess the impact of small changes in the explanatory variables on the M-quantile of the unconditional distribution of the dependent variable by running a mean regression of the recentered influence function of the unconditional M-quantile on the covariates. The proposed methodology is applied on the Survey of Household Income and Wealth (SHIW) 2016 conducted by the Bank of Italy
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
