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
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
Comparing GaAs and In0.15Ga0.85As as channel material for alternative substrate CMOS
No full textPhotoluminescence intensity (PLI) measurements of GaAs and InGaAs thin films indicate that InGaAs might be inherently easier to passivate than GaAs. The introduction of just 15% of In leads to a reduction of the surface recombination velocity at native oxide interfaces by an order of magnitude. This is more than the effect expected by a reduced bandgap alone. The PLI method applied to thin films can also be used to determine the surface recombination velocity of other IIIV-oxide interfaces
Crystallization properties of Cu<sub>2</sub>ZnGeSe<sub>4</sub>
No full text© 2018 We have studied the crystallization reaction of polycrystalline Cu2ZnGeSe4 solar cell absorbers fabricated by H2Se selenization of sequentially deposited metal layer stacks. We have executed a stop experiment, stopping the crystallization reaction at different times during the process, then analyzing the subsequent X-ray diffraction patterns. We have found that mainly Cu3Ge and ZnSe phases form very rapidly at temperatures below 350 °C. Depending on the order of the sequentially deposited metal layer stack, the formation reaction proceeds at different speeds. Putting the Ge layer in the bottom and the Cu layer on top leads to a very fast nucleation reaction of Cu2ZnGeSe4, leading to small grains that have obtained their final size already after 3 min of selenization at 460 °C. The inverse stack with Ge on top and Cu in the bottom delays the nucleation of Cu2ZnGeSe4, leading to a somewhat slower formation reaction and larger Cu2ZnGeSe4 grains, which obtain their final grain size only after 15 min of selenization at 460 °C.sponsorship: This research is partially funded by the Flemish government, Department Economy, Science and Innovation.
