Life Extension of Offshore System: A Framework for Optimization of Maintenance Needs and Operation Requirement W.R.T End Life Management Scenario
Full text linkMaster's thesis in Industrial asset managementIn offshore production installations, numerous platforms, facilities, systems, and equipment’s are approaching or already exceeded their original design life. The industrial product is design for limited timespan and concluded by the phenomenon of decommissioning. When the system approaches that limit, the dominate ageing aggregation affect the performance parameter of the system and resulting in reliability, integrity, safety, and commercial issues. The process of life extension mitigates the effects of ageing mechanism and extend the life or safety limits of the system. The LE process also reduces or diminish the inherit risk possessed by system during their original design life and makes sure the adoption of advance technologies and consideration of new standards and codes.
The current thesis explores the industrial practices for extending the life and safety limits of offshore facilities. The present methodology of the topic is to develop a framework that covers the current market dynamics, operational and maintenance needs of the system, mitigation measures for arising risk factors and technological development of mechanism that generate sustainability and assures financial viability. The approach is to recognize the major asset reliability, integrity, vulnerability, and process safety risks that require detail assessment and evaluation process, to ensure and permit the asset to be operated beyond its design life.
The framework is step forward to figure out some major life extension obstacles by systematic methodology that helps in streamlining the process and provides an improved foundation for pragmatic decision making through four different phases: 1) Detail assessment , history evaluation and decision supportive information collection; 2) Technical assessment and plan for optimization of maintenance needs and operational requirement of the system; 3) Quantifying the uncertainty and prioritizing the risk component or equipment inside of the system; 4) Financial and technical validation of propose model and predictive benchmarking. The developed structured framework provides immense resilience in accommodating a wide and vast spectrum of industry cases
Portrait de Sultan Muhammad Adil Shah et, en regard, celui de son Premier ministre Ikhlas Khan
No full textDeccan, Bijapur, vers 1680La dynastie musulmane des Adil Shahi fut fondée en 1489. Elle connut neuf sultans jusqu'à ce que son territoire soit annexé par l'empereur moghol Aurangzeb en 1686. C'est durant le règne du septième souverain de Bijapur, Muhammad Adil Shah (régnant 1627-1656), que ce royaume connut sa plus vaste extension. Le mausolée construit à sa mort témoigne encore de cette puissance, puisque cet exceptionnel monument, le Gul Gumbad, qui s'élève à l'intérieur de la forteresse de Bijapur, est réputé avoir le plus grand dôme après celui de Saint-Pierre de Rome. Par leur situation géographique, les dynasties du Deccan étaient de culture mixte, marathe, persane, voire africaine. Il n'était pas rare d'y rencontrer des officiers d'origine africaine, certains d'entre eux accédant même à des situations importantes à la cour. Ce fut le cas d'Ikhlas Khan, un Abyssin, qui fut Premier ministre de Muhammad Adil Shah et eut une grande influence sur son souverain. Il est ici muni d'une rondache et d'une longue épée droite, typique du Deccan.téléchargeabl
The effective amount of rice / paddy husk that generate smoke to control the storage beetle: a research / Muhammad Adil Zulkipli
Full text linkIn Malaysia, the amount of insecticide to control the insect pest can give the effect to human health and environment. The introduction of chemical made the traditional method become more forgotten. In this modern agrotechnology some examples of traditional storage methods are given to bring them back into memory. Not every method will be effective in certain situation try some of them out and experiment it for your own self. The main objective of this research is to determine the effective amount of paddy or rice husk that generate smoke to control the storage beetle in rice. The location of this study was carried out at Tanjung Karang Selangor because the location is basically one of the main rice productions for example BERNAS mill. Two different insects were chosen first is Rice weevil (Sitophilus oryzae) and second is Red-rust flour beetle (Tribolium castaneum) because this beetle is the main storage beetle that attacks the storage product. The different weight of paddy or rice husk been experimented and the best weight to control the beetle is 5 kilogram and the best length period of time is under 15 minutes for the insect to reach it mortality level. The smoke that been generated from the rice husk can save the cost because the rice husk is a byproduct from the rice mill processing and can reduce the use of insecticide

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
The absence of Baroque ornamentation in performing baroque music on the classical guitar among UiTM music students / Muhammad Adil Putera Badrul Hisham
Full text linkFaculty of Music UiTM Shah Alam offered Bachelor of Music Performance course in order to find a performer for next generation. In order to become a true performer, student need to fulfill the requirements of being a performer such as technical difficulties, performing skills, and interpretation of music. Classical guitar is one of the instruments which have been offered by the Faculty of Music for the principle studies as the main instrument for students. Classical guitar nowadays has been attracted by some compositions. Transcribed piece, new compositions has given the classical guitar an opportunity to become one of well-known instrument in music world nowadays and also give classical guitar to perform in concert hall. Classical guitar uses nylon strings, plucked with the fingers, played in a seated position and is used to playa diversity of musical styles including classical music. There are other types of guitars such as electric guitar and acoustic guitar which are being played in other styles of music. Each type of guitar plays an important role in producing the music. For instance, rock music genre uses a distortion sound and the characteristic of clean sound added a different dimension to the jazz ensemble (Stimpson M. 1988)
