John Pfaff : Grand Haven and Spring Lake, 1925-1975
No full textJohn Pfaff chats with Chuck Sikkenga about his recollections of growing up in Grand Haven and Spring Lake. His boyhood memories include riding the interurban lines, Clarence Buhl's Dray business, the Ackley College, the Robinhood Theater, the family-owned Grand Haven Baking Company, and grape farming in Spring Lake. As a young man, he witnessed the 1933 robbery of the Peoples Bank, played in various local bands and in the Army, and worked at the Story & Clark Piano Factory. In later life, he served as president of the Grand Haven Area Historical Society and the first volunteer director of the Tri-Cities Historical Museum

On the Convex Pfaff-Darboux Theorem of Ekeland and Nirenberg
No full textThe classical Pfaff-Darboux theorem, which provides local 'normal forms' for
-forms on manifolds, has applications in the theory of certain economic
models [Chiappori P.-A., Ekeland I., Found. Trends Microecon. 5 (2009), 1-151].
However, the normal forms needed in these models often come with an additional
requirement of some type of convexity, which is not provided by the classical
proofs of the Pfaff-Darboux theorem. (The appropriate notion of 'convexity' is
a feature of the economic model. In the simplest case, when the economic model
is formulated in a domain in , convexity has its usual meaning.)
In [Methods Appl. Anal. 9 (2002), 329-344], Ekeland and Nirenberg were able to
characterize necessary and sufficient conditions for a given 1-form to
admit a convex local normal form (and to show that some earlier attempts
[Chiappori P.-A., Ekeland I., Ann. Scuola Norm. Sup. Pisa Cl. Sci. 4 25 (1997),
287-297] and [Zakalyukin V.M., C. R. Acad. Sci. Paris S\'er. I Math. 327
(1998), 633-638] at this characterization had been unsuccessful). In this
article, after providing some necessary background, I prove a strengthened and
generalized convex Pfaff-Darboux theorem, one that covers the case of a
Legendrian foliation in which the notion of convexity is defined in terms of a
torsion-free affine connection on the underlying manifold. (The main result of
Ekeland and Nirenberg concerns the case in which the affine connection is
flat.
Pfaff, D. Principles of homone/behavior relations
No full textPfaff, Donald W., Phillips, M. Ian., Rubin, Robert T. Principles of Hormone/Behavior Relations
This text introduces underlying principles of the endocrine regulation of behavior in animals and humans. Every chapter begins by stating a principle, followed by specific examples of hormone actions derived from scientific experiments and clinical observations, and concludes with a few challenging unanswered questions. The reference source Hormones, Brain & Behavior identified this field as rapidly expanding within neurobiology and endocrinology. Now, this well-illustrated and referenced text will serve students from undergraduate school to medical school as they learn this new discipline.https://digitalcommons.rockefeller.edu/ru-authors/1143/thumbnail.jp
Pfaff, D. /Editor Hormones, brain and behavior
No full textDonald W. Pfaff, Arthur Arnold, Anne M. Etgen, Susan E. Fahrbach, Robert T. Rubin/editors. Hormones, brain and behavior
2nd edition
Hormones, Brain and Behavior is a comprehensive work discussing the effect of hormones on the brain and, subsequently, behavior. This major reference work of more than 100 chapters covering a broad range of topics with an extensive discussion of the effects of hormones on insects, fish, amphibians, birds, rodents, and humans. To truly understand all aspects of our behavior, we must take every influence (including the hormonal influences) into consideration. Donald Pfaff and a number of well-qualified editors examine and discuss how we are influenced by hormonal factors, offering insight, and information on the lives of a variety of species.
Hormones, Brain and Behavior offers the reader broad coverage of the growing field of research, with a state-of-the-art overview on hormonally-mediated behaviors. This reference provides unique treatment of all major vertebrate and invertebrate model systems with excellent opportunities for relating behavior to molecular genetics. The topic covers an unusual breadth (from molecules to ecophysiology), ranging from basic science to clinical research, making this reference of interest to a broad range of scientists in a variety of fields.https://digitalcommons.rockefeller.edu/ru-authors/1148/thumbnail.jp

Pfaff, D. Estrogens and brain function
No full textDonald W. Pfaff. Estrogens and brain function: neural analysis of a hormone-controlled mammalian reproductive behavior
By integrating a vast array of empirical findings, this book advances the frontier of knowledge about estrogen’s effects on nerve cells and behavior. Systematically examining the effects of estrogen on the neural circuitry underlying reproductive behavior, the author uses electrophysiological, neuroanatomical, and neuroendocrine experimental techniques to develop a complete analysis of the mechanisms for essential mammalian mating behavior.
Based on an extensive research program, Estrogens and Brain Function traces the pathways that control lordosis behavior. This book also describes the anatomical basis of hormonal accumulations in the brain and illustrates how these hormones alter neural circuits. Both the methods and the results delineated here promise to have an important impact on future investigations of brain mechanisms of mental and behavioral states.https://digitalcommons.rockefeller.edu/ru-authors/1147/thumbnail.jp

Beschreibung
Der Schutz des Klimas und die dafür erforderliche Umstellung der Energieversorgung auf erneuerbare Energien ist eine globale Herausforderung, welche nach maßgeschneiderten Lösungen für die unterschiedlichen Klimazonen und Märkte der Erde verlangt. Die verstärkte Solarenergienutzung spielt dabei eine maßgebliche Rolle. Die Rolle Deutschlands als Exportnation beschränkt sich hierbei nicht auf die Klimawende im eigenen Land, sondern beinhaltet auch den weltweiten Export erneuerbarer Energietechnologien.
Die Kosten der photovoltaischen Stromerzeugung (PV) und der Windkraft sind in den vergangenen Jahren erfreulicherweise deutlich gesunken, entsprechend wurden in vielen Ländern große Kapazitäten zugebaut. Die resultierende stark gestiegene Einspeisung fluktuierender Erzeuger stellt Netzbetreiber vor neue Herausforderungen, insbesondere durch die extremen Lastschwankungen für plan-und steuerbare, heute größtenteils fossil befeuerte konventionelle Kraftwerke
