George MacLeod’s open-air preaching: performance and counter-performance
No full textStuart Blythe uses the methodology of performance to analyse George MacLeod’s open-air preaching. He points out that MacLeod’s preaching was derived from a theology of the incarnation, and an understanding of the paradoxes and dichotomies of common human life. This preaching, Blythe suggests, was also a counter-performance in the context of outlooks and ideologies inimical to the gospel. The paper raises interesting issues related to preaching as performance, and the further question as to whether or not the life and work of the Church as a whole might now be better understood as a counter-performance.Publisher PD
The Linear CS/WZW Bulk/Boundary System in AQFT
No full textThis paper constructs in the framework of algebraic quantum field theory (AQFT) the linear Chern–Simons/Wess–Zumino–Witten system on a class of 3-manifolds M whose boundary ∂M is endowed with a Lorentzian metric. It is proven that this AQFT is equivalent to a dimensionally reduced AQFT on a 2-dimensional manifold B, whose restriction to the 1-dimensional boundary ∂B is weakly equivalent to a chiral free boson
John Stuart Mill and the Employment of Married Women: Reconciling Utility and Justice
No full textThis paper explores the link between utilitarianism and feminism through the positions of John Stuart Mill. We try to reconcile Mill's conviction about the necessity of establishing equality between sexes with his position concerning the employment of married women. This reconciliation has already been attempted by other researchers. Our perspective is slightly different in that we seek to establish a globally coherent position by examining Mill's various writings in order to evaluate his feminism in terms of his utilitarian philosophy.John Stuart Mill ; Utilitarisme ; Feminisme ;
Development of a cycle simulation for a coal-fueled, direct-injected, internal combustion engine
No full textTypescript (photocopy).An engine cycle simulation for a coal-fueled internal combustion, reciprocating engine was developed. The primary objective of this work was to develop the simulation for evaluating the viability of coal fuels for engines. The cycle simulation was used to investigate details of the combustion process to identify controlling phenomena and to establish directions for future evaluations. Models for coal particle combustion and devolatilization, liquid droplet vaporization, fuel vapor combustion, cylinder heat transfer, piston work, and mass flow rates were combined with a thermodynamic analysis of the engine to yield instantaneous cylinder conditions and overall indicated engine performance. For selected engine and operating conditions, sensitivity of engine performance on fuel characteristics such as coal reactivity, devolatilization, liquid carriers, atomization, and pilot fuels for ignition were investigated. Several commercially manufactured engines were also simulated with the model. The major conclusions of this work include: (1) devolatilization can have a significant effect on the ignition and combustion processes, (2) liquid carriers can have a significant effect on the ignition and combustion processes, (3) the cylinder gas temperature and pressure at fuel injection are important engine operating parameters for coal fuels, (4) the characteristics of the coal fuel (such as particle size and reactivity) can have a significant impact on the ignition and combustion processes, and (5) the combustion process of coal slurry fuels is largely diffusion (air mixing) controlled

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
