A critical examination of meters in Khaghaniâs complete works (Divan) emended by Abd or-Rasooli
No full textAbstract Khaghaniâs complete works (Divan), emended by Abd or-Rasooli, consists of 144 qasida1, 16 composites, refrains, 356 stanza and small qasidas, 462 Ghazal, 361 quatrains and 5 Arabic qasidas. Despite its weak points, current edition as the first edition of khaghani in Iran is undoubtedly of high importance and can be used by students and researchers. In spite of value and significance of Abd or-Rasooli efforts, this emendation has considerable defects. For example, lack of index of all poems, disorders due to intermingling of small qasidas and odes makes it hard for readers to find poems and recognize their forms. Also Abd or-Rasooli analyzes some parts of Divan such as qasidas and refrains in terms of meter and leaved other parts as small qasidas, odes, Ghazals, quatrains and Arabic poems. Studying meters in Khaghaniâs Divan emended by Abd or-Rasooli, some of them have been seemed to be incorrect. The mentioned mistakes are as below which we divided them to some groups for ease of access: Making mistake in recognition of rhythm and meter, rhythm recognition, meter and its variations Making mistake in recognition of meter variations. Case: falsehood in rhythm and meter recognition In pages 42 and 45 the rhythm of (Muftaâellun Faâellat Muftaâellun Faâellat â-UU--U-U-UU--â) has been named âMonsare Salemâ but in page 57 there is a qasida with prologue and Abd or-Rasooli mentioned the same rhythm for it mistakenly and named its variations as âMatvi Majdouâ: Rảh-e nafasam baste shod az ảh-e jegartảb Ku hamnafasi tả nafasi rảnam az in bảb It should be mentioned that meter is not Monsareh but it is âmusamman akhrab makfuf mahzufâ. Next qasida with prologue is: Ᾰn pir ke sobh-e leghayist khezr-e nảm Har sobh buye khezr ảyadash ze kảm Stating the word âtooâ, he has recognized the rhythm of mentioned Qasida in âRamalâ meter while it has the meter of âmozareâ akhrab makfuf mahzufâ and its rhythm is âMafâulo Faâelat Mofaâelan Faâelonâ and it is not âRamalâ. The conclusion is that studying rhythm in qasidas shows that Abd or-Rasooli was hasty at recognizing meters and this hastiness results to inordinate number of errors such as those in determination of rhythm and meter and meter variations. It is obvious that present criticism does not underestimate Abd or-Rasooliâs great dignity and his scientific wisdom in first emendation of Khaghaniâs Divan in Iran and the value of this work is apparent for all scholars.ay
In-Situ Determination of Buildings’ Thermo-Physical Characteristics
No full textAccurate determination of building’s critical thermo-physical characteristics such as the walls’ thermal resistance, thermal conductivity, and volumetric heat capacity is essential to indicate effective and efficient energy conservation strategies at building level. In practice, the values of these parameters, which determine not only possible energy savings, but also related costs, are rarely available because the current determination methods are time-and-effort-expensive, and consequently seldom used.This thesis combines theories, simulations, computations, and experiments to develop and improve methods and approaches for determination of a number of buildings’ most important thermophysical characteristics. First, a modification to the existing standard method, “ISO 9869 Average Method” is proposed to measure the walls’ thermal resistance. Two current problems are solved: long measurement duration (weeks) and imprecision. To further shorten the measurement period to a few hours, a new transient in-situ method, Excitation Pulse Method, EPM (Patent No. 2014467), is then developed and tested. This method allows the determination of the walls’ response factors which can be applied directly in dynamic models. More importantly, it is used to extract critical construction information including walls’ thermal resistance, thermal conductivity, volumetric heat capacity, and the possible layer composition. Finally, in an attempt to reduce the hassle, cost, and intrusion associated with locally-conducted experiments, the use of data from smart meters and home automation systems is explored. Building’s global characteristics including heat loss coefficient, global heat capacitance and daily air change rates are accordingly determined.A+BE I Architecture and the Built Environment No 7 (2020)Building Energy Epidemiolog
Earned Value Management System in Manufacturing Industry / Fatemeh Rasooli Haghighi
No full textProject management is the act of planning, organizing, motivating and controlling resources of time and cost to achieve specific goals known as scope of project. Earned Value Management (EVM) or Earned Value Project/Performance Management (EVPM) is a project management technique that measures project progress and performance in an objective manner and provide accurate forecast of project performance problem (Marshall 2006). EVM is widely accepted in many manufacturing projects in developed countries such as the USA, UK and Australia (Garrett,2006). EVM is not classified as a common used tool in manufacturing industry sector in Malaysia (Khamidi, Ali et al. 2011). This study will discuss the technique of EVM, a method of evaluating and measuring project performance and progress, which is known as one of the most accurate and sharp managing techniques (Vandevoorde and Vanhoucke 2006, Moslemi Naeni, Shadrokh et al. 2013). According to Anbari (2003), EVM is a powerful method of project management and handling that supports cost, time and scope of project. Brandon & Daniel,1998 also introduced EVM as a powerful technique of true project performance measurement.
In order to practically demonstrate the effectiveness of EVM on manufacturing project management and how obtained result from EVM implementation would help project managers in project forecast and management in manufacturing sector, EVM is implemented on a manufacturing project producing safety glasses for automobile industry in Malaysia. The aim of this work is to show that how EVM can be applied to Malaysian manufacturing projects. The results obtained from successful implementation of EVM on purposed manufacturing project demonstrated that EVM can bring a very clear view of the project and provide project managers strong insight into the project progress. This technique would enable project managers to assess project performance more in-depth and vi
help project managers to effectively control, monitor and manage project cost and schedule. Moreover EVM facilitates project managers with a very good prediction of future performance trend of the project.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
No full text“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
No full textWe 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
Mikro-kanallarda ataletsel parçacık akışı ve giriş gaz akışı modellemesi
No full textCataloged from PDF version of article.Includes bibliographical references (leaves 102-112).Micro
uidics is integration of micro-fabrication techniques together with the
knowledge of
ow behavior at micro scale to design and achieve particle manipulation,
separation, sorting and etc. which is important for biomedical and
biological applications. In this regard, analytical and numerical analysis and modeling
play an important substantial role and serve as a basis for further and better
understanding of basic and fundamental concepts and create a more transparent
picture for an optimized design with desired properties. In the present thesis, behavior
of both liquid type and gas type working
uid have been studied. For the
liquid
ow, nite Reynolds number
ow regimes which is also known as inertial
micro
uidics has been considered. Inertial micro
uidics have exhibited promising
and rigorous abilities in size based particle separation due to existence of inertial
lift force and secondary
ow (for curved channels). For the gas
ow, governing
equations of an incompressible and isothermal
ow have been analytically solved
using a linearization technique proposed in the literature for the hydrodynamic
entrance region due to its importance for excess pressure drop and heat transfer.
For this purpose, simulation of particle focusing using Lagrangian particle tracking
method has been carried out for both straight and spiral micro-channel. For
simulation authentication, experimental investigation have also performed and
compared with the simulation upshots.by Reza Rasooli
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
