Shane: Tourette
No full textShane Fistel is a talented sculptor and painter. He also suffers from Tourette's syndrome, that often-misunderstood condition that historically has been misdiagnosed as insanity and even demonic possession. In this program, neurologist/author Oliver Sacks explores his unique friendship with Shane. Together, they travel to the Charcot Library at the Salp?tri?re in Paris to learn more about Tourette's syndrome. This condition, first described in 1885 by Jean-Martin Charcot's colleague Gilles de la Tourette, is a neurochemical disorder. Due to its influence, Shane?a charismatic individual totally lacking in social inhibitions?feels compelled to act in ways that others find antisocial and threatening
Dynamic frequency control with increasing wind generation
No full textPaper presented at the 2004 IEEE Power Engineering Society General Meeting, 6-10 June 2004, Denver, ColoradoFrequency control is essential for the secure and stable operation of a power system. With wind penetration increasing rapidly in many power systems, ensuring continuous power system security is vital. The frequency response to a disturbance on the all Ireland system is simulated for a range of installed wind capacities under different system conditions. The purpose of this study is to assess the effects of increased wind
generation on system frequency, and the security of the system following such disturbancesScience Foundation IrelandCharles Parsons Energy Research AwardsCharles Parson

Executing Grace: How the Death Penalty Killed Jesus and Why It\u27s Killing Us
No full textShane Claiborne is a prominent speaker, activist, and best-selling author who worked with Mother Teresa in Calcutta and founded The Simple Way, a faith community in inner-city Philadelphia that has helped birth and connect radical faith communities around the world. He heads up Red Letter Christians, a movement of folks who are committed to living as if Jesus meant the things he said. Shane is a champion for grace, which has led him to jail advocating for the homeless, and to places like Iraq and Afghanistan to stand against war. And now grace fuels his passion to end the death penalty
Evaluating the impact of gate strategies on a container terminal's roadside network using microsimulation: the Port Newark/Elizabeth case study
No full textIntermodal Marine Container Terminals (IMCTs) are experiencing consistent growth in container volumes and are under pressure to come up with strategies to increase their capacity to accommodate the increasing demand. In addition to the deterioration of the performance of terminal and drayage operations, the environmental effect from idling trucks has been starting to emerge as a serious problem. Different solutions have been proposed to address the issue and reduce the amount of externalities from drayage operations including new technologies, operational strategies and financial mechanisms. The purpose of this thesis is to develop a simulation model capable of modeling a number of different gate strategies, using real world data, and evaluate the possible benefits that different operational improvements may have in reducing congestion in the vicinity of the terminals. For the purpose of the thesis the Port of Newark/Elizabeth in New York and New Jersey was selected to evaluate the roadside impacts of the two most common operational strategies (a gate appointment system and extended gate hours) using dynamic microsimulation. Several demand shifting scenarios were tested for a base year and future years and an extensive sensitivity analysis was performed based on the output of these simulations. Results from the sensitivity analysis were used to determine the percentage of truck demand that would theoretically need to be shifted to off peak weekday or weekend hours in order to maintain an efficient level of service on the roadway network at the Port Newark/Elizabeth for each simulated year.M.S.Includes bibliographical referencesby Patrick Shane Doughert
