NH Blue and You: Dover Creating Community Change Through Connection A NH Listens Summary Report
Full text linkIn November of 2016, over ninety people attended the NH Blue and You community conversation at Flight Coffee Co. in Dover, New Hampshire. NH Blue and You?a partnership of the Seacoast and Manchester NAACP, NH Listens, and the NH Association of Chiefs of Police?was initiated to provide interested communities an opportunity for conversation between residents and law enforcement on critically important policing issues. The local event was hosted by the Dover Police Department, Dover Listens, the Dover Housing Authority, and the Greater Dover Chamber of Commerce.The discussions took place on the evening of Tuesday, November 15, 2016 from 5:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. and were open to the entire community. Save the date information and flyers were shared through a variety of methods in the community (flyer may be found in Appendix A). Only two individuals preregistered, but the room quickly filled with ninety-two total attendees, including about twelve officers from the Dover Police Department. Participants were split into nine small groups, each with a trained facilitator
A narrative-based collaborative writing tool for coherent technical documents
No full textOne important feature of an effective document that makes it easy to read and understand is known as coherence. Technical documents produced collaboratively are often incoherent due to a lack of group consensus and misaligned contributions by the individual authors. However, current document planning techniques and writing tools do not provide explicit support for improving coherence. The goal of this research, therefore, is to develop and evaluate a new technique and tool that helps teams of authors to structure coherent technical documents. The coherence of a document can be attributed to the story (or narrative) it conveys to the reader. If this story is consistent and coherent, the same can be said about the document. A discourse theory such as Rhetorical Structure Theory (RST) that has been developed by linguists helps further to analyse and improve a narrative. RST explains the coherence of a text by virtue of relationships (such as “paragraph A justifies paragraph B”) between parts of the text. This research has combined the ideas from these parallel strands of research to develop a new document planning technique called narrative-based writing. The method involves writing down an explicit précis of the story (called a document narrative or DN) and then analysing it using RST. The DN and RST analysis are then used to structure the eventual document. To extend the usability of narrative-based writing to geographically-dispersed authors, I have designed and implemented a collaborative tool that allows co-authors to edit, analyse and review DNs. The thorough design for the tool uses a combination of three models (conceptual, business process and functional) culminating in a set of functions that enable collaborative narrative-based writing. This dissertation discusses how, in the future, these functions could be incorporated in existing collaborative writing tools. Implementing this tool, albeit in its current prototypic state, has been invaluable in understanding the complexities of modelling and manipulating DNs and RST structures. Initial investigations using the new technique and tool have been positive, encouraging me to continue the research and evaluation in this field
Evaluatie suppleties Noord-Holland en Texel
No full textNote: NH-93.ANV002a.pdf bevat het hoofdrapport en NH-93.ANV002b.pdf bevat alle bijlagen. ----- De minister van Verkeer en Waterstaat heeft de kamer een interim-nota kustverdediging in 1993 toegezegd, waarin het kustverdedigingsbeleid wordt geëvalueerd. Een onderdeel van deze evaluatie is de evaluatie van de zandsuppleties. Om deze evaluatie uit te voeren is de werkgroep EVAZAND, onder leiding van de Dienst Getijdewateren, ingesteld. De evaluatie beperkt zich in principe tot de morfologische aspecten en is hoofdzakelijk gericht op het bepalen van de doelmatigheid of de effectiviteit van zandsuppleties. Omdat suppleties van 1990 of later zich vanwege de korte levensduur nauwelijks lenen voor evaluatie is een selectie gemaakt uit de suppleties van vóór 1990. Deze nota dient als de bijdrage van de Directie Noord-Holland aan het project EVAZAND en bevat de evaluatie van alle grote zandsuppleties van Noord-Holland en Texel van vóór 1990.EVAZAN
RF Information Harvesting for Medium Access in Event-driven Batteryless Sensing
Full text linkWe present radio-frequency (RF) information harvesting, a chan-nel sensing technique that takes advantage of the energy in the wireless medium to detect channel activity at essentially no en-ergy cost. RF information harvesting is essential for event-driven wireless sensing applications using battery-less devices that har-vest tiny amounts of energy from impromptu events, such as op-erating a switch, and then transmit the event notification to a one-hop gateway. As multiple such devices may concurrently de-tect events, coordinating access to the channel is key. RF infor-mation harvesting allows devices to break the symmetry between concurrently-transmitting devices based on the harvested energy from the ongoing transmissions. To demonstrate the benefits of RF information harvesting, we integrate it in a tailor-made ultra low-power hardware MAC protocol we call Radio Frequency-Distance Packet Queuing (RF-DiPaQ). We build a hardware/software proto-type of RF-DiPaQ and use an established Markov framework to study its performance at scale. Comparing RF-DiPaQ against sta-ple contention-based MAC protocols, we show that it outperforms pure Aloha and 1-CSMA by factors of 3.55 and 1.21 respectively in throughput, while it saturates at more than double the offered load compared to 1-CSMA. As traffic increases, the energy saving of RF-DiPaQ against CSMA protocols increases, consuming 36% less energy than np-CSMA at typical offered loads.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository 'You share, we take care!' - Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Embedded System
Dehydrogenation of the NH−NH Bond Triggered by Potassium tert-Butoxide in Liquid Ammonia
Full text linkA novel strategy for the dehydrogenation of NH-NH bond is disclosed using potassium t-butoxide (tBuOK) in liquid NH3 under air (O2) at room temperature. Its synthetic values are well demonstrated via highly efficient synthesis of aromatic azo compounds (up to 100% yield, 3 min), heterocyclic azo compounds, and dehydrazination of phenylhydrazine. The broad application of this strategy and its benefit to chemical biology is proved by a novel, convenient, one-pot and efficient synthesis of aliphatic diazirines, which are important photoreactive agents for photoaffinity labeling

Molecular tagging velocimetry of NH fluorescence in a high-enthalpy rarefied gas flow
No full textIn this paper a new type of molecular tagging velocimetry based on NH fluorescence was developed and validated for the velocity measurements of a high-enthalpy rarefied gas wind tunnel where the maximum flow velocity exceeds 6 km/ s near the nozzle exit at 0.2 Pa. The feasibility of this technique using the short-lived NH fluorescence was demonstrated in the hypersonic rarefied gas flow with yielding velocity profiles at multiple downstream locations from the nozzle exit. The total uncertainty of the measured flow velocities was estimated to be less than 6% when the flow velocity is above 2000 m/ s. For the new tagging technique only a single laser and a single time-gated camera are required for velocity measurement due to the existence of NH radicals in the arc-discharged-N2 mixed with a small amount of H-2. Therefore the NH-MTV not only shows great promise for tagging in high-enthalpy rarefied gas of nitrogen or air flows without seeding but also possesses high practicability and facility for velocity measurement
