How we remember the dead by their digital afterlives (Book review)
No full textA broad-ranging analysis asks whether we can achieve a kind of immortality by documenting our lives and deaths online.
Many of us will have turned to the Internet to grieve and remember the dead — by posting messages on the Facebook walls of departed friends, for instance. Yet, we should give more thought to how the dead and dying themselves exert agency over their online presence, argues US sociologist Timothy Recuber in The Digital Departed.No Full Tex

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.

Tracing the causes of writing errors : a revision of error analysis procedures and assumptions
No full textTypescript (photocopy).Error analysis (EA) in composition studies attempts to determine the causes of writers' uses of nonstandard language. Typified by the work of Kroll and Schafer, Bartholomae, and Shaughnessy, traditional EA draws extensively upon second language acquisition research from the 1970s and generally relies on researchers' textual interpretations of sample errors. The present study attempts to refine EA assumptions and methodology by proposing a model that utilizes a greater variety of procedures and sources of data. The model entails two types of descriptions necessary for understanding error. The three primary sources of data are sample errors (including naturally occurring and elicited samples), writers' interpretations of error, and writers' evaluations of error; all three sources involve direct and indirect means for obtaining writers' responses. For complementary data, EA can draw upon non-errors as well. The model suggests various techniques and data needed to form grammatical and rhetorical descriptions of error, descriptions that allow an analyst to define the constraints on error and its causes. For errors related to linguistic competence, grammatical descriptions involve the error's linguistic function, transitional/stable nature, and relationship to SE, dialect, and/or interlanguage grammars. For errors dealing with linguistic performance, grammatical descriptions involve various syntactic environments conducive to oversights or retention problems. Rhetorical descriptions, based on the communications triangle, explore the relationship of error with both textual and extra-textual factors of the writing situation. The components of the triangle are broadly defined so that they include cognitive, affective, and social factors. The study applies the suggested assumptions and procedures through an analysis of nonstandard uses of in which. The analysis draws upon elicitation, evaluation, revision, and rewrite tasks to form grammatical and rhetorical descriptions. Results indicate the various nonstandard functions of the variable and the constraints imposed by an interaction of the writer's gender and the perceived formality of the writing situation
