Increasing Distributed Generation Penetration using Soft Normally-Open Points
No full textThis paper considers the effects of various voltage control solutions on facilitating an increase in allowable levels of distributed generation installation before voltage violations occur. In particular, the voltage control solution that is focused on is the implementation of `soft' normally-open points (SNOPs), a term which refers to power electronic devices installed in place of a normally-open point in a medium-voltage distribution network which allows for control of real and reactive power flows between each end point of its installation sites. While other benefits of SNOP installation are discussed, the intent of this paper is to determine whether SNOPs are a viable alternative to other voltage control strategies for this particular application. As such, the SNOPs ability to affect the voltage profile along feeders within a distribution system is focused on with other voltage control options used for comparative purposes. Results from studies on multiple network models with varying topologies are presented and a case study which considers economic benefits of increasing feasible DG penetration is also given
Evidence from North Carolina Shows that Immigrant Students with Limited English Have a Very Minor Impact on Native Students' Performance
No full textMuch of the recent concern about undocumented immigration into the U.S. can be linked to the perceived burden that these immigrants may create on the public education system. But is this really the case? Through analyzing detailed information on the performance of students in North Carolina,Timothy M. Diette and Ruth Uwaifo Oyelere find that the presence of students with limited English does have a negative, though small, effect on the math and reading achievement of natives that are male and black. They argue, however, that these effects are so small as not to warrant policy interventions.

Rewriting history : postmodern and postcolonial negotiations in the fiction of J.G. Farrell, Timothy Mo, Kazuo Ishiguro and Salman Rushdie
No full textThis thesis is a study of the rewriting of history in the work of four novelists: J. G. Farrell, Timothy Mo, Kazuo Ishiguro and Salman Rushdie. I argue that their work occupies a particular position that is both within contemporary British fiction, yet at one remove from it.
Their work is situated within the context of critiques of history that are the source of a conflict between postmodernism and postcolonialism. I suggest that each writer engages with postmodemist aesthetics often in an attempt to produce critical histones that bear witness to the voices of those hitherto silenced in conventional historiography. However, these novelists remain anxious as to the potential consequences of mobilising postmodernist models of history, particularly as to the problems this creates concerning historical reference. The thesis aims to
identify the range of related attitudes to postmodernist critiques of history at this particular juncture of contemporary fiction in English.
I approach the specific position of the novelists under study through Homi Bhabha's work on the confluence of the postmodern and the postcolonial, focusing in particular on his suggestion that the postmodem refutation of Western epistemology enables a postcolonial space where a new range of histories emerge. Because each writer works between at least two cultures, and primarily within Britain, they negotiate from within received epistemology in an attempt to locate a space at its boundaries where conventional forms of knowledge no longer have efficacy. However, in contrast to Bhabha, these writers struggle to reach this space and remain sceptical as to the usefulness of postmodernism in making available new forms of
historiography. Ultimately, their work enables a critique of current ways of theorising the relationship between the postmodem and the postcolonial in literary studies
Introgressive Status, Population Genetic Structure, Phylogeographic History and Individual-Level Resource Specialization of the Guadalupe Bass Micropterus treculii
No full textIntrogression between Guadalupe bass Micropterus treculii and introduced smallmouth bass M. dolomieu poses a threat to Guadalupe bass within its native range. Restoration efforts include stocking hatchery-reared Guadalupe bass with the effectiveness of this strategy appearing to be dependent on the intensity and duration of stocking. However, changes in introgression levels in other Guadalupe bass populations are not known. Additionally, streams within the range of Guadalupe bass have a complex geologic and hydrologic history that include stream captures and changing hydrologic connections associated with sea level changes resulting from glacial influences. How these historical and contemporary (e.g. stocking hatchery-reared fish) factors affect the population genetic structure of Guadalupe bass is not known. Because stocking of hatchery-reared fish can result in losses of genetic variation, it is also possible that phenotypic variation, including variation in resource use, might also be altered in these populations. My research focused on addressing three primary objectives: 1) assessing levels of introgression between Guadalupe and smallmouth bass across the range of Guadalupe bass, 2) evaluating historical and contemporary factors affecting the population genetic structure of Guadalupe bass, and 3) assessing individual-level resource specialization as it relates to genetic and morphological variation among populations. The results of these studies provide a greater understanding of the phylogeographic history of the Edwards Plateau region and of the effects of genetic diversity in wild populations on population niche dynamics.Biolog
