Begadang sebagai Inspirasi Penciptaan Musik Etnis "Tangi Po Turu"
No full text“Tangi po Turu” berasal dari bahasa jawa yang memiliki arti tangi berarti bangun, po (tembung opo) berarti atau, dan turu berarti tidur, maka bila terjemahkan menjadi bangun atau tidur. Pemilihan judul tersebut dirasa dapat merepresentasikan fenomena begadang memiliki dua efek yang berbeda terhadap aktivitas dan produktivitas di pagi harinya. Dimana terdapat kondisi yang masih sanggup bangun pagi hari dan yang kesulitan untuk bangun pagi.
Metode penciptaan yang digunakan dalam pembentukan komposisi musik etnis ini menggunakan 3 tahapan dari Alma M. Hawkins dalam bukunya yang berjudul Mencipta Lewat Tari yaitu, Eksplorasi, Improvisasi, dan Pembentukan yang penulis sadari bahwa tahapan-tahapan tersebut juga ada di dalam proses penciptaan karya music etnis. Metode tersebut juga didukung dari teori Edward Thorndike mengenai trial and error.
Fenomena begadang di atas yang merangsang penulis untuk membuat sebuah komposisi musik etnis serta menjadi ide gagasan impresi ekstramusikal yang ditransformasikan ke dalam bahasa musikal. Dengan demikian penulis menjadikan “Tangi po Turu” sebagai judul dari karya komposisi musik etnis ini yang diangkat dari fenomena sosial habitus begadang dalam komposisi musik etnis gamelan jawa.

Differential β-arrestin2 requirements for constitutive and agonist-induced internalization of the CB1 cannabinoid receptor
No full textCB1 cannabinoid receptor (CB1R) undergoes both constitutive and agonist-induced internalization, but the underlying mechanisms of these processes and the role of beta-arrestins in the regulation of CB1R function are not completely understood. In this study, we followed CB1R internalization using confocal microscopy and bioluminescence resonance energy transfer measurements in HeLa and Neuro-2a cells. We found that upon activation CB1R binds beta-arrestin2 (beta-arr2), but not beta-arrestin1. Furthermore, both the expression of dominant-negative beta-arr2 (beta-arr2-V54D) and siRNA-mediated knock-down of beta-arr2 impaired the agonist-induced internalization of CB1R. In contrast, neither beta-arr2-V54D nor beta-arr2-specific siRNA had a significant effect on the constitutive internalization of CB1R. However, both constitutive and agonist-induced internalization of CB1R were impaired by siRNA-mediated depletion of clathrin heavy chain. We conclude that although clathrin is required for both constitutive and agonist-stimulated internalization of CB1R, beta-arr2 binding is only required for agonist-induced internalization of the receptor suggesting that the molecular mechanisms underlying constitutive and agonist-induced internalization of CB1R are different

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
MURAL DAN POLITIK: ANALISIS SEMIOTIKA PESAN KRITIK SOSIAL MURAL #STOPSIKSAHEWAN KARYA KOMUNITAS TURU KENE

Muhammad Jihaz Al Fairozy (2021). Program Studi Ilmu Politik. Fakultas Ilmu Sosial dan Ilmu Politik. Universitas Braijaya Malang. Mural dan Politik: Analisis Semiotika Pesan Kritik Sosial Mural #STOPSIKSAHEWAN Karya Komunitas Turu Kene. Tim Pembimbing: Tri Hendra Wahyudi, S.IP., M.IP dan M. Fajar Shodiq Ramadlan S.IP., M.IP.
Kota Malang adalah kota yang tiap tahunnya memiliki perkembangan pesat secara sosial, ekonomi dan politik. Perkembangan yang pesat ini menimbulkan banyaknya permasalahan, seperti penyiksaan hewan. Kasus penyiksaan hewan di Kota Malang cukup minim atas perhatian dari masyarakat dan pemerintah, sehingga memunculkan adanya kritik sosial yang dilakukan oleh salah satu komunitas seni mural yaitu Komunitas Turu Kene dengan judul mural #StopSiksaHewan yang berlokasi di Jalan Bogor. Untuk dapat menemukan pesan kritik sosial dalam mural tersebut, penelitian ini menggunakan analisis semiotika Charles Sanders Pierce yang membelah setiap ilustrasi, warna dan tipografi pada tanda yang ada. Dalam penelitian ini, ditemukan kekurangan dalam penelitian yaitu tidak dapatnya peneliti melakukan pengumpulan data secara wawancara dikarenakan informan tidak dapat dihubungi sehingga dalam mengumpulkan data penelitian dengan pendekatan observasi, dokumentasi dan literatur dari penelitian yang serupa. Hasil penelitian menemukan pesan dalam setiap ilustrasi mural #StopSiksaHewan menunjukkan gambaran masih lemahnya penerapan kebijakan perlindungan hewan di Kota Malang, hal ini diperkuat dengan temuan Pratik jual beli hewan anjing, penelantaran hewan dan perburuan hewan lindung. Hasil penelitian lainnya menemukan media pesan krtitik social yakni mural yang digunakan sebagai media kritik social yang mengangkat setiap isu masalah politik di sekitar lingkungan komunitas ini ke publik sehingga isu-isu tersebut dapat didengar dan dilihat oleh pemerintah sehingga masyakarat dan komunitas tersebut memiliki peranan sebagai control atas kebijakan yang masih lemah.

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
