Improving community water supply management in low income households in Mbagala Kuu Ward, Temeke Municipal-Dar Es Salaam
No full textThe management and dispensation of water supply and sanitation projects is a big problem in Tanzania. Poor operation and management of water supply projects in the communities contributes to problems including increased rate of water related diseases including cholera. Also it contributes to increased rate of poverty as people are forced to spend more of their little income to buy water.
The government of Tanzania in collaboration with different development partners and other stakeholders including CBOs like KIBEDEA are making different efforts to ensure there is not only increased supply of water but also there is good operations and management of the existing water schemes.
Despite all the good efforts that are in place, O & M of the existing water supply schemes is still a big problem. In Mbagala Kuu where there is a community water supply scheme, a CBO called KIBEDEA has been making efforts to assist the communities to properly manage their scheme. However due to lack of proper operations plan and monitoring the problem is still existing hence failing to achieve its goal.
The purpose of the project is essentially to work with KIBEDEA and water users to assess water situation and plan on how to operate and manage community water supply scheme in a sustainable way. Good O & M will ensure reliable water supply hence improved livelihood of the communities. (Author abstract)Neema, D. G. (2007).

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

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
