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
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
Health as (Inter)generational Field Learning
No full textWspółcześnie podkreśla się znaczenie indywidualnej odpowiedzialności za zdrowie własne i innych, co wpływa także na wzrost znaczenia edukacji zdrowotnej. Jednym z ważniejszych obszarów uczenia się zdrowia są relacje międzyludzkie, w szczególności w rodzinie czy relacjach nieformalnych. Celem niniejszego opracowania jest zarysowanie obszarów uczenia się zdrowia w relacjach między pokoleniami na podstawie analizy literatury przedmiotu. Odwołując się do koncepcji M. Mead, można wyróżnić trzy rodzaje relacji między pokoleniami jako obszarów uczenia się zdrowia: uczenie się od starszych pokoleń, uczenie się od rówieśników, uczenie się od młodszych pokoleń. Ten pierwszy obszar uczenia się zdrowia jest najszerzej reprezentowany w literaturze przedmiotu, obejmujący głównie kształtowanie wzorców zachowań zdrowotnych w rodzinie poprzez uczenie się społeczne i asocjacyjne. W drugim obszarze wpływ rówieśników na proces uczenia się zachowań zdrowotnych jest najczęściej
ujmowany w kontekście oddziaływania szkoły, a więc dotyczy dzieci i młodzieży. Brak natomiast opracowań na temat wpływu rówieśników, ale w odniesieniu do ludzi dorosłych i starszych. W trzecim obszarze uczenia się zdrowia pojawia się niewielka liczba opracowań. Choć dostrzega się rolę rodziny, w tym młodszych pokoleń dla kształtowania zachowań prozdrowotnych ludzi starszych, to jest to nadal obszar nie do końca zbadany, obfitujący jednak w wiele pytań.In our times attention is paid to the issue of broadening of an individual’s responsibility for one’s and another’s health. It influences on growth of meaning of health education. Interpersonal relationships are one of the most important parts of health learning. Especially there are important family and informal groups relationships. The aim of this paper is describing health learning areas in the relationship between generations. It is done on base of literature analysis. There are three areas of health learning in the relationship between generations – based on conception of M. Mead – learning from elders, learning from peers and learning from youngsters. The first area of health learning is the broadest represented in the literature. It mostly includes the shaping of patterns of health behavior in family throughout social and associative learning. In the second area the influence of peers on process of learning of health behavior is the most often understood in the context of health education at school, so it concerns youth and children. However, there is lack of papers about peers’ influence but in the context of adult and elder people. In the third area of health learning a small number of papers can be observed. Although the role of family is noticed – including younger generations for shaping pro-health behavior of elders – it still seems to be not well researched area abounding with many questions.Udostępnienie publikacji Wydawnictwa Uniwersytetu Łódzkiego finansowane w ramach projektu „Doskonałość naukowa kluczem do doskonałości kształcenia”.

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
