No. 602 Fernando Torres-Gil
No full textTranscript (45 pages) of a phone interview by Becky B. Lloyd with Fernando Torres-Gil in Los Angeles on September 18, September 23, and October 15, 2010Torres-Gil (b. 1948) was born in Salinas, California. He was six months old when he contracted polio while living in Castroville, California. He was initially sent to Monterey County General Hospital in Salinas for treatment. His parents were immigrants from Mexico and were agricultural workers in California. He discusses his immediate and extended family, the family dynamics related to his illness, recovery and subsequent surgeries, and the support system developed with his family. He was locally treated by his physician, Dr. Englehorn. When initial treatments proved ineffective, Dr. Englehorn, a Shriner, arranged for Torres-Gil\u27s treatment at Shriners Hospital in San Francisco. His first hospital stay was at age 2 in 1950. He left the hospital after that stay using braces and crutches. He was subsequently hospitalized, for lengthy stays ranging from three to nine months, for various surgeries between 1954 and 1966. He describes these surgeries and his recollections of care and activities while in the hospital. He continues to use braces and crutches. He has never regained use of his right leg. Torres-Gil discusses his schooling, both while in the hospital and through the public school system. He talks about his progress, challenges and accommodation. He earned Associate and Bachelor degrees in California; Master\u27s and Doctorate degrees at Brandeis University. He has served on various councils for three US presidents, including currently on the Council on Aging. The interview concludes with Dr. Torres-Gil discussing the onset of, challenges with and adapting to post-polio syndrome. Interview is part of the Polio Oral History Project. Interviewer: Becky B.

Medición y análisis de la audiencia de emisora comunitaria en el Municipio de San Gil
No full textDesde sus inicios, la radio comunitaria tuvo muchas dificultades para desarrollarse debido a la insuficiente inversión económica que recibió del sector privado y público. Aun cuando el valor de dicha asistencia no sea verdaderamente significativo, su importancia en las comunidades ha generado valiosos resultados pedagógicos y sociales. Con esto en mente, la actual investigación partió del planteamiento de la siguiente pregunta: ¿Cuáles son los mejores horarios que puede utilizar la emisora para la venta de espacios publicitarios, que permitan una mayor incidencia en la vida de las comunidades sonoras y asÃ, lograr una mayor audiencia? El principal objetivo de la investigación fue medir y analizar las audiencias locales de los diferentes programas radiales de la Emisora Comunitaria de San Gil, Santander. La metodologÃa utilizada fue de tipo descriptivo, aplicando una encuesta basada en el documento del Ministerio de TecnologÃas de la Información y las Comunicaciones titulado Manual metodológico para la medición y análisis local de audiencias de las emisoras comunitarias en Colombia: “Analizar audiencias construir nuestros sueñosâ€, encuesta que aplicada a los habitantes mayores de 15 años del Municipio de San Gil. Con la aplicación de la encuesta se logró detectar un promedio de 13 emisoras de Ãndole nacional y local que cuentan con una gran audiencia. También, se identificó que la emisora comercial (con un porcentaje del 42,96% de los encuestados) es la principal competencia de la emisora estudiada (con un porcentaje del 23,71%)
GIL, J. y Eduardo QUIÑONES
No full textCorrespondence exchanged among Misters J. Gil, Eduardo Quiñones, President and Secretary of the Club Liberal Miguel Hidalgo of Ciudad Guzmán, Jalisco and Gen. Alvaro Obregón. Misters Gil and Quiñones inform the General about the declarations made against him by the Mayor of Ciudad Guzmán, Mr. Jesús Otero, indicating that he will manipulate the elections. Response of acknowledgement. Mr. Gil requests that military forces be removed from Ciudad Guzmán or that the elections be suspended, because the military will vote in favor of Ignacio Otero, who is not popular in the region. / Correspondencia entre los Srs.

On the aberration–retardation effects in pulsars
No full textThe magnetospheric locations of pulsar radio emission region are not well known. The actual form of the so-called radius-to-frequency mapping should be reflected in the aberration-retardation (A/R) effects that shift and/or delay the photons depending on the emission height in the magnetosphere. Recent studies suggest that in a handful of pulsars the A/R effect can be discerned with respect to the peak of the central core emission region. To verify these effects in an ensemble of pulsars, we launched a project analysing multifrequency total intensity pulsar profiles obtained from the new observations from the Giant Meterwave Radio Telescope (GMRT), Arecibo Observatory (AO) and archival European Pulsar Network (EPN) data. For all these profiles, we measure the shift of the outer cone components with respect to the core component, which is necessary for establishing the A/R effect. Within our sample of 23 pulsars, seven show the A/R effects, 12 of them (doubtful cases) show a tendency towards this effect, while the remaining four are obvious counterexamples. The counterexamples and doubtful cases may arise from uncertainties in the determination of the location of the meridional plane and/or the core emission component. Hence, it appears that the A/R effects are likely to operate in most pulsars from our sample. We conclude that in cases where those effects are present the core emission has to originate below the conal emission region

A study on the optimal PPP model for transport: the case of road and rail in South Korea
No full textIn recent decades the Public Private Partnership (PPP) has been widely regarded as an innovative way to construct transport infrastructures and to improve the quality of service. As the number of PPP cases has increased, many countries have tried to standardise PPP models to minimise the costs of trial and error. South Korea, where 426 PPP projects have been undertaken since 1994, usually preferred the BTO (Build-Transfer-Operate) model for transport. In the BTO model, the private sector recoups its investment by charging end users directly and hence should bear the traffic demand risk. However, the Korean Government shared the demand risk through a minimum revenue guarantee to induce private sector involvement, and this led to many criticisms of the BTO model. Tariffs in the BTO case were much higher than those of public operators, but the Government still had to pay large amounts of guaranteed revenue. Thus, BTL (Build-Transfer-Lease), where the demand risk is on the public sector, has become an alternative model. The BTL is the “service sold to the public sector” model which is similar to the DBFO (Design-Build-Finance-Operate) in the UK. This thesis examines which of the BTO and the BTL PPP models is optimal to save governmental expenditure for transport infrastructures such as road and rail. Appropriate traffic demand risk sharing, which a particularly controversial issue in South Korea, is explored. These research objectives are examined through five case studies: the Incheon Airport Expressway and the Oksan-Ochang Expressway cases for road PPP; the Incheon Airport Railway, the Daegok-Sosa Railway and the Seoul Metro 9 cases for rail PPP. Through a detailed literature review and five case studies, the thesis shows that the optimal PPP model, which is measured by the VFM (Value for Money) assessment, needs to satisfy the interests of public sector, private sector, and end users. Based on these assessments and including these three viewpoints, it is concluded that the optimal PPP model for road can be the BTL where the public sector can save expenditure or reduce the level of tariff. Traffic demand risk for roads is relatively low, so the public sector does not have to transfer it to the private sector with high profit rate. In the case of rail, the limited revenue and high cost make a project difficult to be financially free standing by the BTO model. However, the BTO can be a better option in urban rail if traffic demand risk is shared appropriately
