No full textThe Teshima Museum of Art by Ryue Nishizawa and Rei Naito
No full text[EN] The Museum of art of Teshima by the architect Ryue Nishizawa and the artist Rei Naito is a delicate work where nature, art and architecture are fused together. The museum represents what is shown, the image of a falling bead of water that is identifi ed in the exhibition “Matrix” by Naito, a metaphorical celebration of water as the beginning of life. Nishizawa models this exquisite fi gure using an oscillating shell, hanging in the air 40 X 60 m and 25 cm thick, 4.25 m from the fl oor at a highest point on which two luminescent glazes are carried out. It is a solemn and contemplative museum rooted in the depths of Japanese culture.[ES] El Museo de Arte de Teshima del arquitecto Ryue Nishizawa y la artista Rei Naito es un frágil trabajo donde se funden naturaleza, arte y arquitectura. El museo representa aquello que expone, la imagen de una gota de agua cayendo que se identifica con la muestra “Matrix” de Naito, una celebración metafórica del agua como principio de vida. Nishizawa modela esta exquisita fi gura recurriendo a una cáscara oscilante, tendida al aire, de 40x60 m y 25 cm de espesor, a 4,25 m del suelo, sobre la que se practican dos veladuras luminiscentes. Se trata de un museo contemplativo y solemne arraigado en las raíces de la profunda cultura japonesa.Oficina De Ryue Nishizawa, A. (2011). Teshima Art Museum en la isla de Teshima. Japón. EN BLANCO.

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

The MAGIC II gamma-ray stereoscopic telescope system.
No full textAbstract
MAGIC-II is a stereoscopic system of imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes (IACT) with the two largest dishes in the world. It is located in the Canary island of La Palma. The second 17 m diameter telescope is currently under commissioning. MAGIC with its large reflector area, high quantum efficiency photomultipliers, optical signal transmission and fast digitization, will benefit from an improved shower reconstruction and increased background rejection thanks to the simultaneous observation by using two telescopes. Compared with the single MAGIC telescope, the new system will offer an improvement of 20% in the angular resolution and an enhancement from 25% to 15% in the energy resolution, above few hundreds GeV. It is also expected that the sensitivity improves by factor ∼2–3, reaching 1% of the Crab nebula flux in the full energy range (60 Gev–20 TeV)
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
