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

Implementando estrategias para el desarrollo del cálculo táctico en primer ciclo de educación primaria
No full textEn este trabajo presentamos un análisis preliminar de operaciones aritméticas empleadas por 23 niños y niñas de segundo curso de Educación Primaria. La modalidad de cálculo empleada es la que denominamos cálculo táctico. Esta forma de cálculo implica que el estudiante tenga que elegir la táctica más adecuada en cada caso, para ello es necesario que tome conciencia de los números que toman parte de la operación, y debe establecer un camino que permita poner en práctica aquello que ya conoce (Adamuz-Povedano y Bracho-López, 2019)
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
DDS-Enabled Cloud Management Support for Fast Task Offloading
No full textCloud computing has become an essential
technology not only for web provisioning, but also in mobile
scenarios. Mobile devices are usually resource constrained due
to processing and power limitations, so typical applications are
not easy portable. Battery draining and application
performance (resource shortage) have a big impact on the
experienced quality, so shifting applications and services to the
Cloud may improve mobile user’s satisfaction. However,
available Cloud solutions are mostly focused on scenarios with
slowly changing provisioning, which are unable to support and
promptly react to short-term provisioning requests. To address
the new scenario, this paper proposes a novel Cloud
monitoring and management architecture based on the datacentric
publish-subscribe Data Distribution Service (DDS)
standard. We present not only an architecture proposal, but
also a real prototype that we have deployed in our
experimental testbed. The experimental results show that our
architecture is able to support the scheduling of highly
dynamic tasks in the Cloud while maintaining low overheads
A Close Examination of the Multipath Propagation Stochastic Model for Communications over Power Lines
No full textThis paper focuses on the parameterization of the multipath propagation model (MPM) for indoor broadband power line communications (PLC), which up to now has been established in an heuristic way. The MPM model was initially proposed in the PLC context for outdoor channels in the band up to 20 MHz, but its number of parameters becomes extremely large when used to model indoor channel frequency responses (CFR), which are much more frequency-selective than outdoor ones, and the band is extended to 80 MHz. This work proposes a fitting procedure that addresses this problem. It allows determining the model parameters that yield the best fit to each channel of a large database of single-input single-output (SISO) experimental measurements acquired in typical home premises of different European countries. Then, the statistics of the MPM parameters are analyzed. The study unveils the relation between the model parameters and the main characteristics of the actual CFR like the frequency selectivity and the average attenuation. It also estimates the probability density function (PDF) of each parameter and proposes a fitting distribution for each of them. Moreover, the relationship among the main parameters of the model, as well as their impact on the performance of PLC communication systems are also explored. Provided results can be helpful for the development of MPM-based models for indoor broadband PLC
