An eitic agus aeist?itic i saothar Alan Titley
No full textTHESIS 9771Is tr?chtas critice e seo ar shaothar Alan Titley, sc?ala? agus scol?ire. Ta tr? aidhm agam ann. Ar an gc?ad dul s?os, feachaim le soileiri? a dheanamh ar ?shaoldearcadh? Titley, is e sin, ar na luachanna polaiti?la agus ar na luachanna eitici?la a nochtann se ina shaothar. Sa dara h?it, feachaim lena chur chuige i leith na litr?ochta agus i leith na critice a leirmh?ni?. Ar deireadh, feachaim le hanail?s a dheanamh ar chuid de na gneithe is t?bhachta? d? chuid scr?bhneoireachta, dar liom. D?r?m go h?irithe ar na gn?ithe seo a leanas: a) an ple a dheanann se ar cheisteanna polait?ochta agus ar fhadhbanna s?isialta; b) an tuiscint at? aige ar an dea-litr?ocht; c) an c?oradh a dheanann se ar theama an fhoreigin ina shaothar; agus d) an greann garbh a chleachtann se. ?it?m nach feidir saothar Titley a thuiscint i gceart gan a sheasamh eitici?il a chur san ?ireamh. ?it?m go n-eascra?onn formh?r a shaothair, idir fhicsean, chritic agus iriseoireacht, as dha fhoinse. An chead fhoinse n? an dualgas a bhraitheann se air f?in a fheini?lacht uath?il a leiri? sa litr?ocht. An dara foinse na an dualgas a bhraitheann se air fein cosaint a dheanamh ar chearta daoine eile chun feinleirithe. Tarraing?m aird freisin ar theannas n? neamh-r?ir a bheith le sonr? ar shaothar Titley. Is eard at? i gceist leis an teannas seo n? go mb?onn Titley ag ceili?radh na scr?bhneoireachta engagee i saothair ?irithe d? chuid, agus, i saothair eile leis, go mb?onn se ag deanamh beag is fi? d?impleachta? eitici?la na litr?ochta. Is e sin, uaireanta d?r?onn se ar an gcaoi a n-imr?onn an litr?ocht tionchar ar an diosc?rsa poibl?, agus uaireanta eile tugann se le fios gur earra aeisteitice amhain i an litriocht, gur domhan ann fein e an ficsean at? ar deighilt ar fad ? ch?raim? praitici?la an tsaoil iarbh?r. Sp?onaim c?is na m?-r?ire seo i scr?bhneoireacht Titley, agus riana?m an tionchar a imr?onn s? ar a shaothar critice agus ar a shaothar ficsin

Niʻmatnāmah-yi Nāṣiruddīn Shāhī -- Illustrations.The Ni'matnama is a late fifteenth-century book of the recipes of the eccentric Sultan of Mandu (Madhya Pradesh), Ghiyath Shahi, collected and added to by his son and successor, Nasir Shah. It contains recipes for cooking a variety of delicacies and epicurean delights, as well as providing remedies and aphrodisiacs for the Sultan and his court. It also includes important sections on the preparation of betel leaves as well as advice on the logistics of hunting expeditions and warfare. The text provides a remarkable and tantalizing account of rarified courtly life in a fifteenth-century Indian Sultanate region

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

Conjugate gradient algorithm in Banach spaces to enhance the spatial resolution of microwave remote sensing data
No full textIn this paper, spatial resolution enhancement of microwave radiometer data is developed in lp Banach spaces using a new technique based on a generalization of the conjugate gradient (CG) method extended to Banach spaces. Experiments undertaken on both simulated and actual SSM/I radiometer data show that:
1. the conjugate gradient method calls for a processing time four times smaller than the conventional gradient method,
2. the conjugate gradient shows reconstruction performance similar to the gradient method method,
3. lp space, 1 < p < 2, performs better than l2 one in reconstructing abrupt discontinuities. In addition, reconstructions exhibit a valuable reduction of ringing effects
Accidental cosmopolitanism: connectivity, insistence and cultural experience
No full textProcesses of globalisation are often associated with a burgeoning consciousness of interconnectedness and interdependence between people in the majority and minority worlds. Areas of everyday life, such as consumption and travel, are held to be increasingly informed by the realisation that micro-practices implicate the person in relation to global Others. It is argued that rhetorical ideas of global awareness - as well as the theoretical assumptions that underpin them - depend heavily on rationalist notions of an unfurling consciousness, and inadequately consider the ambivalences engendered by informational overload, non-linear processes and the unintended consequences of globally significant actions. Thus prevalent ideas of acting ethically in globalised societies are not based on considerations of how people may construct the ‘globe’ as a shifting, imagined and incoherent context.
The thesis proposes a new understanding of the idea of imaginative geography to conceptualise the ways in which living in interdependence involves a constant tension between implication and understanding. This is exemplified by the ways in which contemporary tourism - for political, cultural and environmental reasons - has become an experience of accidental cosmopolitanism for many; the experience of becoming unavoidably aware of one’s interconnections in a context where leisure normally guarantees insulation from them. As a case study the thesis analyses the construction of the Caribbean as a particular type of touristic space embedded in western images of the non-modem paradise. Field work in St Lucia reveals a fine-grained picture of the ambiguous ways in which touristic images are mediated, re-accented or contested, and how fantasy spaces can never be insulated from wider socio-political dynamics. It concludes by examining the import of these theoretical innovations and the fieldwork observation for discussions of globalisation and non-formal education
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
