The impact of M&A on bank's financial performance: evidence from emerging economy.
No full textThe proliferation of bank M&A has been a global phenomenon. In many emerging economies, bank M&A has often been driven by policies for restructuring the banking industry in the hope of improving stability in the financial system. The Pakistan M&A market is relatively new and is characterized by several unique features. In this regards, our study aim is to examine the impact of pre and post M&A on the bank’s financial performance in Pakistan during the period (2004-2015). Our results reveal that liquidity, profitability and investment ratios of the banks are positively and significantly increased the performance after M&A. Nevertheless, the solvency ratios indicate negative effects which are mainly based on the fact that after undergoing M&A the acquiring bank has to deal with the greater amount of debt burden as compared to pre-M&A. In light of these results, this study suggests implications for both theory and practice and also recommends ideas for future research
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

Muhammad Tetang Kimba, Penaklukan Konstantinopel dibawah Pimpinan Sultan Muhammad II (Al-Fatih) 1451-1453 M. Skripsi, Fakultas Ilmu Sosial, Universitas Negeri Makassar. Dibimbing oleh Muh. Shaleh Majid dan Mustari Bosra.
Penelitian dan penulisan ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui latar belakang penaklukan Konstantinopel oleh Sultan Muhammad Al-Fatih, Strategi dan jalannya Penaklukan Konstantinopel, dan dampak Penaklukan di Konstantinopel dan Perkembangan Islam Pasca Penaklukan oleh Sultan Muhammad II (Al-Fatih).
Penelitian dilakukan melalui kajian pustaka dengan menggunakan metode sejarah melalui beberapa tahapan kerja, yaitu heuristik (pengumpulan sumber), kritik ekstenal dan kritik internal, interpretasi dan historigrafi (penuliasan) yang merupakan pengungkapan kisah sejarah tertulis.
Hasil penelitian, letak Konstantinopel yang strategis menyebabkan bangsa-bangsa disekitarnya tertarik menguasainya, termasuk umat Islam. Upaya menaklukan Konstantinopel dimulai sejak pemerintahan Khalifah Ustman bin Afan, para Khalifah dari bani Umayyah dan Bani Abbasiyah, hingga sultan Murad II Dari Ustmani, akan tetepi upaya selama delapan abad tersebut mengalami kegagalan, sebelum dilanjutkan oleh Sultan Muhammad II (Al-Fatih). Pada tanggal 29 Mei 1453 M (20 Jumadil Ula 857 H) sultan Muhammad II (Al-Fatih) dapat menaklukan Konstantinopel, Berbagai ide yang tidak terduga oleh pasukan Bizantium dilakukan oleh Sultan yaitu memindahkan 70 kapal di utara Galata, membuat menara dari kayu, menggali terowongan bawah tanah, mengepung dari berbagai arah, baik dari daratan maupun lautan, serta menerjunkan pasukan secara berlapis dalam tiga gelombang.
Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, Sultan Muhammad II (Al-Fatih) berhasil menaklukan Konstaninopel Pada tanggal 29 Mei 1453 M (20 Jumadil Ula 857 H), Penaklukan Konstantinopel bagi Islam sangat penting. Hal itu ditandai dengan berubahnya fungsi Gereja Hagia Sofia menjadi Masjid dan Sultan Muhammad II (Al-Fatih) mengubah nama kota Konstantinopel menjadi Istambul

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
