In the Indonesian constitutional system, it is very influential on changes to the amendments UUD 1945 which in these changes to state institutions of course experience differences in authority from before the amendment and after the amendment. Regarding these changes, MPR may experience many changes in it regarding the position and authority in the Indonesian state administration. The MPR is no longer the highest state institution as before the amendment, which is now in parallel with other institutions. So in the Indonesian state administration, there are no higher state institutions between one another. With this change, the MPR's authority has …

Mechanical Engineering Faculty Publications

Researchers at the University Transportation Center for Railway Safety (UTCRS) have developed an onboard wireless monitoring device to gauge the health of freight railcar rolling stock. A wireless system will allow for preemptive maintenance to occur, potentially saving millions of dollars in damages and ensuring the safety of passengers and cargo. A prototype energy harvester has been developed that can extend the battery life of the wireless monitoring device. It uses Thermoelectric Generators (TEGs) mounted on the bearing adapter to convert heat generated from the bearings to electricity. Previous results have shown that, under optimal conditions, TEGs have been able …

The Impact Of Tobacco Smoking-Related Media Messaging On Adolescent Tobacco-Smoking Behavior, Bandar Shukr

Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive

Youth tobacco smoking remains a major global public health problem. Understanding predictors of youth smoking behavior is critical for the success of tobacco control programs. Given the dearth of information about the effect of tobacco smoking-related messages in media on the smoking behavior of both cigarettes and waterpipes among adolescents from countries in the Eastern Mediterranean Region (EMR), this research aims to address this knowledge gap. We analyzed longitudinal data from the Irbid Longitudinal Smoking Study that followed a random sample of 2,174 seventh-grade students to characterize their smoking habits. Data analyses were performed using unadjusted and adjusted Generalized Linear …

Improved Guidelines Of Indoor Airborne Transmission Taking Into Account Departure From The Well-Mixed Assumption, Jorge S. Salinas, K. A. Krishnaprasad, ‪Nadim Zgheib, S. Balachandar

Mechanical Engineering Faculty Publications

The well-mixed assumption has been widely used in predicting the spread of infectious diseases in indoor spaces. It is to be expected that a perfect well-mixed state will not be achieved in an indoor space at any reasonable level of ventilation. This work evaluates the well-mixed assumption by comparing the theory with results from large eddy simulations. The robustness of the well-mixed theory is established by comparing at four different levels. The comparison also points out systematic departures in pathogen concentration which can be accurately accounted for with an easily implementable correction factor to quantities such as cumulative exposure time. …

“800 Years We Have Been Down”: Rebel Songs And The Retrospective Reach Of The Irish Republican Narrative, Seán Ó Cadhla Jun 2022

“800 Years We Have Been Down”: Rebel Songs And The Retrospective Reach Of The Irish Republican Narrative, Seán Ó Cadhla

Articles

From the glamorous, cross-dressing “Rebel, Rebel” of David Bowie, to the righteous Trenchtown “Soul Rebel” of Bob Marley and The Wailers, both varied and various musical articulations of cultural and socio-political rebellion have long enjoyed a ubiquitous presence across multiple soundscapes. As a musicological delineator in Ireland, however, ‘rebel’ conveys a specifically political dynamic due to its consistent deployment as an all-encompassing descriptor for songs detailing events and personalities from the Irish national struggle. This paper sets out to examine the specific musical delineator of “rebel song” from both musicological and politico-ideological perspectives with a view to interrogating its appropriateness …

Dual-Mode Tumor Imaging Using Probes That Are Responsive To Hypoxia-Induced Pathological Conditions, S A Amali S Subasinghe, Robia G Pautler, Md Abul Hassan Samee, Jason T Yustein, Matthew J Allen

Faculty, Staff and Students Publications

Hypoxia in solid tumors is associated with poor prognosis, increased aggressiveness, and strong resistance to therapeutics, making accurate monitoring of hypoxia important. Several imaging modalities have been used to study hypoxia, but each modality has inherent limitations. The use of a second modality can compensate for the limitations and validate the results of any single imaging modality. In this review, we describe dual-mode imaging systems for the detection of hypoxia that have been reported since the start of the 21st century. First, we provide a brief overview of the hallmarks of hypoxia used for imaging and the imaging modalities used …

Comparison On Vegetation Composition And Structure In Fire Prone Forest Of Ilunde And Fire Suppressed Forest Of Kitwe In Tanzania, Nyatwere D Mganga Jun 2022

Comparison On Vegetation Composition And Structure In Fire Prone Forest Of Ilunde And Fire Suppressed Forest Of Kitwe In Tanzania, Nyatwere D Mganga

Tanzania Journal of Science

Fire is among the factors influencing survival and development of plants in ecosystems. This study was conducted in frequently burnt and fire suppressed miombo woodlands of Ilunde and Kitwe, respectively. Tree stem density, basal area and composition of plants were determined. The methods used involved recording the numbers of tree stems, diameter at breast height and classifying vegetation to species level. In Kitwe forest, mean stem density of 582.7 ± 52.90 stems ha– was higher than 356.8 ± 38.98 stems ha– which was recorded in Ilunde forest (t = 15.98, df = 29, p < 0.05). Similarly, a higher mean tree basal area of 16.14 ± 1.32 m2 ha– was recorded in Kitwe forest, while 8.54 ± 0.94 m2 ha– being recorded in Ilunde forest (t = 3.34, df = 14, p < 0.05). Czekanowski’s similarity coefficients for trees, shrubs and saplings, and herbs and grasses were 0.46, 0.34 and 0.22, respectively. Fire adapted species were recorded in Ilunde forest. Fire prone miombo woodland had lower tree stem density, basal area and dominated by fire adapted species. Similarity coefficient between the two forests was also low. Prescribed burning is recommended in miombo woodlands for sustainable species composition and tree structure. Keywords: vegetation; composition, structure, fire prone, miombo

Exploring Carrier Sense Multiple Access With Collision Avoidance Techniques For Resource Sharing In Broadband Power Line Communications, Godfrey Luwemba, Mussa M. Kissaka, Prosper Mafole

Tanzania Journal of Science

A resource sharing in power line communications (PLC) for the home network is restricted by the channel assignment techniques which decide who has the right to gain access to send data. The channel assignment techniques include contention-free and contention-based. The former requires high synchronization due to the deterministic round-trip time. Besides, contention-based utilizes CSMA/CA techniques that allow stations in a network to compete for channel access and are suitable for decentralized network topology. However, a trade-off exists between the number of stations required to gain access versus system efficiency. Whilst some research has been carried out on CSMA/CA resource sharing …
