    Retrospective Examination of Demand-side Energy-efficiency Policies

    Energy efficiency policies are a primary avenue for reducing carbon emissions, with potential additional benefits from improved air quality and energy security. We review literature on a broad range of existing non-transportation energy efficiency policies covering appliance standards, financial incentives, information and voluntary programs, and government energy use (building and professional codes are not included). Estimates indicate these programs are likely to have collectively saved up to 4 quads of energy annually, with appliance standards and utility demand-side management likely making up at least half these savings. Energy Star, Climate Challenge, and 1605b voluntary emissions reductions may also contribute significantly to aggregate energy savings, but how much of these savings would have occurred absent these programs is less clear. Although even more uncertain, reductions in CO2, NOX, SO2, and PM-10 associated with energy savings may contribute about 10% more to the value of energy savings.energy efficiency policy, appliance standards, information, incentives, voluntary programs

    Simulation of the Gillingham Postroll illusion

    INTRODUCTION: The somatogyral effect (i.e. the ceasing rotation perception during constant velocity rotation and the accompanying perception of rotation in the opposite direction when rotation stops) is often demonstrated to student pilots during earth vertical yaw rotation. However, during roll movements, such as in a coordinated turn, this illusion may also occur and is referred to as the Gillingham Postroll illusion. Due to different sensory dynamics in yaw and roll, the effect occurs much faster than in roll than in yaw and may therefore be more frequently encountered. In this study we first investigated the effect of coordinated roll movements on the pilot’s control behaviour. Our second aim was to develop a dedicated simulator-demonstration for student pilots. METHODS: The experiments took place in the Desdemona motion simulator. Because during a fully coordinated roll movement the gravito-inertial vector is always fixed in relation to the body the cabin was tilted 90° backwards so that the subject’s roll-axis was earthvertical. Roll motions were either fully automated or self-controlled by having the subject follow a lead aircraft making the required movements. Right after the roll movement the subject was instructed to “hold attitude”, so to cancel all perceived simulator motion without having visual reference. The subject’s stick input and the resulting simulator motion were measured. Roll velocity and duration were varied in order to obtain different magnitudes of the expected aftereffect (12s at 10°/s, 2s at 30 and 60°/s and 6s at 30 and 60°/s). RESULTS: Subjects indeed corrected for the perceived (not physical!) rolling back when the roll movement had stopped. They initiated a roll motion in the same direction of the original movement, illustrating the somatogyral effect. Effects were largest when the motions were self-controlled and the magnitude of the correction was correlated with the size of the expected aftereffect. DISCUSSION: The results are in line with a model of the dynamics of the semicircular canals. The man-in-the-loop scenario proved adequate to provide a flight-realistic demonstration of the Gillingham Postroll Effect

    Orton-Gillingham and Orton-Gillingham-Based Reading Instruction: A Review of the Literature

    No full text
    Orton-Gillingham (OG) and Orton-Gillingham-based reading instructional programs are commonly implemented reading programs in the United States. Twelve studies that employed quasi-experimental or experimental designs are reviewed. These studies included elementary students, adolescents, and college students. Of the 12 studies, 5 reported that the OG instruction was more effective than were comparison or control interventions for all measured outcomes, 4 reported that the OG instruction was more effective for at least 1 (but not all) outcomes in comparison to other intervention(s), 2 reported that the alternate instruction was more effective than the OG instruction, and 1 reported no significant differences once covariates were included. The largest effects were reported for word attack and non-word reading outcomes, with mean effect size of .82, and comprehension outcomes, with a mean effect size of .76. Following a summary of each study, limitations of the current review and implications for future research and practice are described. Given the small number of studies, the lack of methodological rigor of the existing studies, and the inconclusive findings of the effectiveness of OG programs, additional research is needed before the scientific basis can be established

    New catalytic strategies for DNA and RNA alkylation using rhodium (II) and copper (I) carbenes - a versatile tool for applications in chemical biology

    No full text
    A variety of nucleic acid substrates were catalytically alkylated with rhodium(II) and copper(I)-carbenoids generated from diazocarbonyl compounds. The alkylation took place via an N-H insertion reaction selectively targeting the nucleobases in single-stranded DNA and RNA motifs. The use of alkyne-functionalized diazo carbonyl compounds allowed combination of the alkylation approach with the copper(I)-catalyzed alkyne-azide cycloaddition (copper ‘click’ chemistry) in a straightforward modification protocol, unlocking the potential for a whole new array of biologically relevant product structures. In the case of copper(I) the concurrent introduction of an alkyne function in the nucleic acid via amine alkylation and its coupling to the appropriate azide in a auto-tandem catalytic process utilizing a single catalyst offers a unique ‘one-pot’ strategy for biomolecular diversification

    Diffusive author(s), cohesive author: Analysis of S/N (1994)

    No full text
    This study indicates the ways in which various aspects of the author(s) are brought forth in Dumb type’s performance art, the S/N production. Previous research has suggested a non-hierarchical organization of Dumb type and the absence of a “privileged author” in Dumb type’s collaborative work, S/N. However, the results that I have investigated from member’s interviews on the creative process of S/N along with my analysis of the recorded images of S/N, indicate a different aspect of the author(s). First, S/N was created through, so to speak, the collective ideas of the members of Dumb type. Further, S/N has at least nine quotations from previous performances, installations, and printed writings, besides the work-in-progress technique. Explicating one of the “author functions” as given by Michel Foucault, each text has plural subjects of the author. However, it has been revealed from members’ interviews that Teiji Furuhashi had a decision-making role in selecting the members’ ideas within the performance. Since then, S/N has had plural subjects of creation; however, Furuhashi is one of the subjects of creation along with the “privileged author.” S/N has plural authors (diffusive authors) yet at the same time, it has a “privileged author,” Teiji Furuhashi (cohesive author)

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
