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

MAKANAN SEHAT DALAM AL-QUR’AN PERSPEKTIF TAFSIR AL-
AZHAR
Oleh
M. Arif Fajar Satrio
Al-qur’an sebagai petunjuk dalam kehidupan umat islam dalam menjalankan setiap aktifitasnya. Dalam al-qur’an telah di jelaskan semua aturan agar mendapatkan kehidupan yang baik, dari hal terkecil termasuk persoalan makanan, terlebih lagi makanan adalah komponen utama untuk dapat menjalankan aktifitas sehari-hari . Dari makanan yang baik atau tidaknya dan halal atau haramnya juga berpengaruh untuk jiwa seseorang. Dalam penelitian ini mengambil pemikiran buya hamka dalam tafsirnya yaitu tafsir al-azhar. Dari sini peneliti ingin mengungkapkan bagaimana panduan al-qur’an tentang makanan sehat perspektif tafsir al-azhar? Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kepustakaan (library research) yaitu peneliti mengumpulkan mengumpulkan data yang bersifat kepustakaan, misalnya: buku, majalah, naskah, jurnal dan lain sebagainya. Penelitian ini menggunkan data primer berupa tafsir al- azhar, tafsir tafsir al-misbah, tafsir kementrian agama, dan buku yang berkaitan dengan masalah pola hidup sehat ataupun yang berkaitan dengan hal-hal yang dikaji. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini yaitu metode deskriptif analitis sedangkan tehnik analisisnya adalah analisis isi (content analysis). Berdasatkan data hasil analisis dapat disimpukan bahwa: Berdasarkan ayat-ayat yang dikaji dapat dipahami bahwasanya makna makanan dalam penafsiran Buya Hamka, dikelompokkan menjadi berbagai macam yaitu, makanan yang sehat, memakan makanan secara proporsional sesuai dengan kebutuhan, memiliki rasa aman terhadap makanan, makanan sebagai seruan, makanan sebagai peringatan, makanan sebagai anugerah. Dan mencari dari sumber yang halal, bukan dari penipuan, seperti korupsi. Pengaruh makanan terhadap kehidupan manusia menurut buya hamka dalam tafsir al- azhar dari makanan yang halal dan baik sangat besar pengaruhnya terhadap iwa seseorang yaitu akan dijadika Allah seorang yang makbul do’anya, maka satu suapan yang haram masuk dalam perutnya maka tidak akan diterima amalnya selama empat puluh hari dan apabila ingin do’anya makbul hendaknya menjaga makananya jangan sampai makan makanan yang tidak baik lagi haram
Exploring the Market Potential of Bicycle Crowdshipping: A Bi-level Acceptance Perspective
No full textCrowdshipping has emerged as an avenue to provide sustainable option for thefuture of urban package delivery. The main challenge in crowdshipping realm is to maintain sustainable network of customers (demand) and couriers (supply). To help resolving the challenge, this research offers a comprehensive approach to examine market potential of bicycle crowdshipping through concurrent evaluation of its supply and demand side, which thus far has been absent from the literature. By deploying discrete choice models, the study generated supply, demand, and market equilibrium model to aid crowdshipping platform in understanding influential service attributes and its effect to the market penetration level. The research concluded adjustable delivery time window as a key differentiating attribute to entice customer preference towards crowdshipping. According to the model. demand side of bicycle crowdshipping was found to be highly elastic towards price, while oppositely supply side of crowdshipping is rather inelastic towards monetary compensation.Transport, Infrastructure and Logistic
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

Intern experience at CH���M Hill, Inc.: an internship report
No full textIncludes author's vita"Submitted to the College of Engineering of Texas A&M University in partial
fulfillment of the requirement for the degree of Doctor of Engineering."Includes bibliographical referencesA review of the author's internship experience with CH���M HILL, Inc.
during the period September 1975 through May 1976 is presented. During this nine month
internship the author worked as an Engineer II in the Industrial Processes discipline of this
large consulting engineering firm... The author's prime responsibility was as one of three
lead design engineers on the design of a large wastewater treatment facility for a pulp mill
in Hoquiam, Washington owned by ITT Rayonier Inc. The work generally consisted of the design
of individual treatment units and associated piping and pumping. The purpose of the project
was to provide wastewater treatment capabilities that would satisfy the effluent limitations
(standards) imposed upon the mill by the State of Washington Department of Ecology and the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The author's assignment also entailed necessary
interaction with the project manager and other CH���M HILL design engineers and support staff
members, the client's representatives, and representatives of two other consulting engineering
firms working on the project. Thus, the internship position at CH���M HILL provided considerable
experience coordinating the author's work with the work of other engineers, guiding the design
and administrative efforts of a support staff, and interacting regularly with the client and
other consulting firms. This broad exposure to a variety of engineering and organizational
problems provided a valuable educational experience
Transition to turbulence in a qblique shock-wave/boundary-layer interaction at M=15
No full textDirect numerical simulations are carried out for different forcing techniques to trigger transition during the interaction between an oblique shock-wave and a laminar boundary-layer at M = 1.5. Three forcing methods are used: a) forcing of oblique unstable modes, whose shape and behaviour are determined by the local linear stability theory, b) broadband free-stream acoustic disturbances, and c) a cold plasma flow control device. While the oblique-mode breakdown is dominant for low-amplitude forcing, long streaky structures drive the transition process in a high-amplitude disturbance environment. LES are also performed on the experimental setup by the Institute of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics (ITAM) from Novosibirsk State University with cold plasma actuation. As well as the disturbance type, the effect of Reynolds number and forcing amplitude will be investigated
