An Immigrant Defends America
No full textMany people in the United States feel hopeless about their future, arguing that capitalism, police brutality, and racism prevent them from reaching their goals. Some even suggest that the American Dream is a lie and that the game is rigged against African-Americans, in particular. Jason D. Hill challenges this skepticism. He argues that success is a personal choice and that the vast numbers of upwardly-mobile immigrants are all the proof one needs of boundless American potential. He also takes issue with Ta-Nehisi Coates and writers like him, claiming that their fame and wealth undermine their own charges of victimization.
Jason D. Hill is a Professor of Philosophy, member of the Honors Distinguished Faculty, and Director of Teaching Practicum at DePaul University. He is the author of four books, the most recent of which is the soon-to-be-released We Have Overcome: An Immigrant’s Letter to the American People, available for pre-order on Amazon.com

Chapter 4. Hardware
No full textChapter 4 of Library Technology Reports (53, no. 5), "3-D Printers for Libraries, 2017 Edition"Chapter 4 of Library Technology Reports (vol. 53, no. 5), “3-D Printers for Libraries, 2017 Edition,” lists and discusses the 3-D printer companies and products that author Jason Griffey thinks are most effective and efficient for library use as well as a few experimental models that might bear watching in the future. The criteria used for evaluation include popularity, ease of use, support, and the degree to which the company espouses library values of openness and information access. The attempt will be made to provide buying advice for libraries, taking into account the possible differences in use cases that libraries may have
Where in the Wild?

His writings on the environment have also appeared n the New Yrok Times, The Nation. TheAtlantic.com and Salon.com, among many other publications. He is a co-founder of Alemany Farm, an urban farm in San Francisco.Lecture delivered at Humboldt State University on October 27, 2016 by Jason Mark. Part of the Sustainable futures speaker series sponsored by the Schatz Energy Research Center and the Environment and Community Program. In the 21st century, on the verge of what some are calling the Anthropocene, is there any place that's still really, truly wild? And, if so, how can we hold onto wildness as a touchstone for our relationship with the rest of nature? In this lecture, Jason will share some thoughts from his 2015 book, 'Satellites in the High Country', and will explore the meaning of wilderness today

STUDYING A MORE EFFICIENT AND COST-EFFECTIVE GEOTHERMAL SYSTEM: ENHANCING HORIZONTAL GEOTHERMAL SYSTEM WITH WATER FLUX PROVIDED BY SEPTIC WASTEWATER
No full textIt is well documented and understood that consumption of energy is always increasing worldwide as the population grows. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration [EIA] in 2023 the electricity sales to the four end user sectors, transportation / industrial / residential / commercial, residential consumed 38% of it. Residential also consumed 23% of natural gas, 3% of petroleum, and 15% of renewable energy of the four end user sectors. In 2020 US homes consumption of energy, on average, 52% was used for space heating and air conditioning (HVAC). Since most of the residential energy is consumed for HVAC, it has the potential to produce the largest energy savings by using a more efficient system. A heat pump (HP) is more efficient at conditioning a space than the more commonly used types, direct expansion, electric resistant, and natural gas. Unfortunately for heat pumps, they lose their efficiency advantage when operated outside of their ideal temperatures, between 40⁰ F and below 80⁰ F. That’s why geothermal water source heat pump systems are more efficient, their typical operation is around 67⁰ F. The problem with geothermal systems compared to traditional units is the greater increase in installation costs. Of the two most common systems, vertical ground and horizontal ground, vertical is the most efficient but has the highest installation cost and takes the most specialized equipment to install. So, the dilemma is, how can we make the horizontal ground geothermal system more efficient and affordable at the same time. By solving this problem, we can give more opportunities to save on the consumption of energy and cost of better technologies. A proposed solution is to combine horizontal geothermal and septic systems together. The footprint of the geothermal field would be installed under the septic lateral field in a layered configuration. This way the geothermal will benefit from the wastewater of the septic in increasing thermal conductivity, heat flux of the soil, making the geothermal more efficient. Also, the construction cost for the combined systems will be lower than if they were built separately. The paper includes a study of the proof of concept using modeling software Dymola and known soil characteristics of Shawnee, OK showing the increase of soil thermal conductivity, heat flux of the system. The difference of normal soil conditions vs saturated soil conditions will be researched for this paper. Efficiency, cost comparisons, and life cycle analysis will be shown against several commonly used systems. The common systems are air source HP, horizontal geothermal HP, and vertical geothermal HP. Through our study, we have found the coefficient of performance (COP) of each system to be different. The improved COP of the horizontal geothermal HP system resulted in higher energy savings. The life cycle cost analysis shows that it takes 4 - 9 years for return on investment. Final remarks and future research for this combined system will also be discussed
