    Ada dua factor yang endorong penulisan penyusunan buku ini. Pertama mahasiswa Psikologi sering mengalami kesusahan dalam mencari teori – teori “mini” berkaitan dengan psikolgi sebagai tinjauan pustaka dan landasan teori dalam penyusunan tugas akhir semacam skripsi dan tesis. Yang ke duaa akhir – akhir ini banyak perguruan tinggi yang membuka jurusan/ program studi psikologi. Hal ini mengidentifikasikan semakin bessar inat masyarakat terhadap kajian psikologi. Berdasarkan dua motif yang mendasari penulisannya menggunakan istilah – istilah psikologi. Buku TEORI – TEORI PSIKOLOGI ini ditulis oleh M. Ghufron dan Rini Risnawita S. M Ghufron lulusan Program Pascasarjana Psikologi, khususnya Psikologi Pendidikan di UGM. Dan sekarang mengajar di Sekolah Tinggi Agama Islam Negeri (STAIN) Kudus. Sedangkan Rini Risnawita S lulusan Program Pascasarjana Psikologis, minat khusus Psikometri di UGM tahun 2004. Mulai 2005 sampai sekarang mengajar di Sekolah Tinggi Agama Islam Negeri (STAIN) Kediri. Di dalam buku TEORI – TEORI PSIKOLOGI ini terdapat 15 pembahasan. Dimana di dalam pembahasan – pembahasan tersebuut bersangkutan atau berkaitan dengan ranah psikologi yang dimana ranah psikologi tersebut membahas tentng diri individu itu berkaitan dengan konsep diri, control diri, kepercayaan diri, harga diri, penyesuaian diri, pengelolaan diri, pusat kendali, efikasi diri, motivasi intrinsic, optimisme, kreativitas, kepribadian Big Five, kecemasan, prokrastinansi akademik dan religiusitas. Dalam setiap unit terdapat banyak kosa kata yang berkaitan dengan ilmu psikologis seperti alam bawah sadar, alam prasadar, alam sadar, alam tidak sadar dan lain – lain beserta isinya dalam bahasa Indonesia yang terkumpul dalam “indeks”.

    No full text
    Following 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

    C3H7NO2S effect on concrete steel-rebar corrosion in 0.5 M H2SO4 simulating industrial/microbial environment

    This paper investigates C3H7NO2S (Cysteine) effect on the inhibition of reinforcing steel corrosion in concrete immersed in 0.5 M H2SO4, for simulating industrial/microbial environment. Different C3H7NO2S concentrations were admixed, in duplicates, in steel-reinforced concrete samples that were partially immersed in the acidic sulphate environment. Electrochemical monitoring techniques of open circuit potential, as per ASTM C876-91 R99, and corrosion rate, by linear polarization resistance, were then employed for studying anticorrosion effect in steel-reinforced concrete samples by the organic hydrocarbon admixture. Analyses of electrochemical test-data followed ASTM G16-95 R04 prescriptions including probability distribution modeling with significant testing by Kolmogorov-Smirnov and student's t-tests statistics. Results established that all datasets of corrosion potential distributed like the Normal, the Gumbel and the Weibull distributions but that only the Weibull model described all the corrosion rate datasets in the study, as per the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test-statistics. Results of the student's t-test showed that differences of corrosion test-data between duplicated samples with the same C3H7NO2S concentrations were not statistically significant. These results indicated that 0.06878 M C3H7NO2S exhibited optimal inhibition efficiency η = 90.52±1.29% on reinforcing steel corrosion in the concrete samples immersed in 0.5 M H2SO4, simulating industrial/microbial service-environment

    Rickttsial disease: classical and modern aspects

    No full text
    Rickettsial diseases have been reassessed in recent years since they represent an important field in today's medicine. New agents have been described: some are non-pathogenic agents and the others are associated with well-defined or peculiar clinical patterns. In addition, different species of rickettsiosis are found in relation to the geographic areas of the world. Some agents may be defined as variants of older diseases whereas most of the newly described forms of rickettsiosis represent distinct entities with unique epidemiologial and clinical features. Probably the main news regards the group of the spotted fevers. An additional new aspect is linked to the medicine of travellers and tourists. However, this aspect may not be significant for the rickettsial diseases in relation to other human illnesses, such as malaria. Therefore, an investigation into the geographical origin of patients has to enter our routine medical work

    Studies on Thermal Reactions and Sintering Behaviour of Red Clays by Irreversible Dilatometry

    No full text
    Thermal behavior of clays strongly influences that of ceramic bodies made thereof and hence, its study is must for assessing its utility in ceramic products as well as to set the body composition. Irreversible dilatometry is an effective thermal analysis tool for evaluating thermal reactions as well as sintering behavior of clays or clay based ceramic bodies. In this study, irreversible dilatometry of four red clay samples (S, M, R and G) of Gujarat region, which vary in their chemical and mineralogical compositions was carried out using a Dilatometer and compared. Chemical analysis and XRD of red clays were carried out. XRD showed that major clay minerals in S, M and R clays are kaolinite. However, clay marked R and G showed presence of both kaolinite and illite and / muscovite. Presence of non-clay minerals such as hematite, quartz, anatase were also observed in all clays. XRD results were in agreement with chemical analyses results. Rational analyses showed variation in amount of clay and non-clay minerals in red clay samples. Evaluation of dilatometric curves showed that clay marked as S, M and R exhibit patterns typical for kaolinitic clays. Variation in linear expansion (up to 550 degrees C) and shrinkage (above 550 degrees C) between these three clays was found to be related to difference in amount of quartz and kaolinite respectively. However, dilatometric curve of G exhibit a pattern similar to that for an illitic clay. This study confirmed that sintering of investigated kaolinitic and illitic and / muscovitic red clays initiates at above 1060 degrees C and 860 degrees C respectively and this behaviour strongly depends upon type and amount of minerals and their chemical compositions
