The goal of the project is to design a non-sectarian meditation center in the dense urban area of New York City. The design challenge is to draw inspiration from an interpretation of ancient philosophies of meditation, without simply importing cultural relics from places in which those philosophies have flourished in the past. More difficult was the decision to apply meditation philosophy not just to the design, but to the process of designing. The functional purpose of the building is somewhat flexible. People who practice meditation mayor may not be involved with an organized religion. The current "Dharma scene" in America is extremely diverse. The purpose of the Center is to facilitate the exploration of the mind and reality that goes on in meditation. It might serve as a meeting place for various groups, and also as a center for the study and debate. Practitioners of different schools might meet to compare notes, or to attend conferences such as the Mind Science seminars held on a semi-annual basis by the Dalai Lama and researchers in the cognitive sciences.

This is an applied philosophy project based on ethnographic research in the New York City jails. It provides insight into the practices of jail intake as a way to draw out the ways in which carceral bodies come to be enacted. The project grows out of feminist science studies. The two central questions are 1) how do jail intake processes produce carceral bodies (analog and digital) and what are the implications? 2) how are jail intake processes reflective of the values and logics of a carceral society? These questions are addressed through the domains of data, space, and time, which serve as the organizing framework of this project. The focus on intake enactments draws out the multiplicities of carceral realities, which has the potential to resist essentializing conceptualizations of the criminal. In doing so, this dissertation project demonstrates the potential for abolitionist science and technology studies to disrupt the criminal justice status quo.

This thesis explores the evolution of the electric power sector in New England under the expansion of transmission capacity and under policy with increasing Clean Energy Standards (CES). I use EleMod, a Capacity Expansion Planning model, to compare (1) the reference case of current transmission assets, (2) increasing transmission interface capacities within New England, (3) increasing interconnection capacities with Canada, and (4) both capacity expansions. Transmission expansion allows electricity trade between states and enables them to take advantage of localized, intermittent resources like wind power. Increasing the interconnection capacity with Canada allows the system to optimally allocate the available hydropower energy for imports in the hours of highest net demand. Both transmission expansions together make even stronger use of their contributions. For the capacity expansion model, I choose a set of generation technologies available in New England, and supply cost and operational data from public domain sources. My contributions to EleMod include: (1) the representation of transmission interfaces for New England; (2) the addition of an CES policy standard forcing generation shares from a subset of CES-eligible resources; (3) the modeling of an external hydro reservoir resource in Canada that can be used to supply the load in New England based on cross-border interconnection constraints and the total available energy per year; and (4) the detailed state-level representation of the New England power sector with generation technologies, installed capacities, transmission interface capacities, and CES targets. Policy scenarios increase CES from an average of 25% in 2018 in the base scenario to 95% in 2050 in the decarbonization scenario. Through all policy scenarios, combined-cycle gas plants (GasCC) with carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology dominate the capacity expansions. Increases in transmission capacity lead to higher shares of wind in generation, especially when both transmission and interconnection are expanded. Natural gas, in the form of GasCC with and without CCS, takes shares of the generation mix of up to 85% by 2050. Thus, I also assess the role of pipeline capacities into New England. Because other natural gas uses like residential heating demand have priority over generators, gas-fired power plants cannot expect to meet all their demand during critical periods of shortage in the winter. However, this issue is part of a larger integrated resource planning process. Both transmission and interconnection expansion reduce total system costs by an annual 3.95% and 4.29%, respectively. Because transmission costs are not included in the model, I separately assess the costs and benefits of both transmission expansion scenarios. Transmission expansions from Maine to Massachusetts of 2,000 MW and interconnection expansions to Canada of 3,000 MW and 4,500 MW from Maine and Vermont, respectively, allow for optimal allocation of flows across lines in over 90% of the hours. For interconnection, the calculation estimates costs to be about 1% higher than the benefits, and for transmission within the region the benefits exceed the costs by about 40%.

According to the Presidential Policy Directive 21, the natural gas and the power systems should be able to recover quickly following a disaster and also be able to anticipate high-impact, low-probability events, rapidly recover, and absorb lessons for adapting its operation and structure for preventing or mitigating the impact of similar events in the future. All of this brings in a growing need for resiliency as the natural gas and electricity systems need to have robust recovery strategies in the face of physical, environmental, cybernetic, security or societal threats. The importance of gas and electricity system resilience increases even further, as the interdependency of the two sectors deepens, especially here in New England, where natural gas now accounts for 50% of region's total power plant capacity. In this thesis, a mixed integer linear programming (MILP) model of integrated gas and electricity system is used to do contingency analysis and determine components of both systems that are critical to improve resilience. The model's main contribution is that it represents gas dynamics accurately. Using this model, we looked at several threats at the junction of gas and electricity systems. Based on the model results, higher line-pack, and pressures, as well as additional compressor capacity investments, were shown to improve system resiliency. The model could be used as a decision support tool for policy-makers to do contingency analysis of gas-electricity systems.

Many obstacles contribute to the uncertainty and risk associated with early drug development, leading to the "valley of death" in which promising drug candidates experience difficulties in reaching the market. These challenges have serious consequences for patient populations facing significant unmet medical needs. In this paper, we highlight three models that offer innovative financing mechanisms or new business models for early stage biopharmaceutical assets. Specifically, we evaluate and profile examples of venture philanthropy and academic-industry partnerships as sources of financial capital for early stage assets. In addition, we identify a "one-disease" business model in biotechnology that can mitigate risk and accelerate the translation of biomedical research into novel therapeutics. The three examples highlight the potential for creative mission-driven models to speed up drug development and provide capital in the earliest, and often riskiest, stages of drug development. These models are collaborative and leverage the expertise of the various stakeholders in the process, including patient advocates, private sector drug developers, and academic researchers.

Recent years have seen an unprecedented increase in the adoption of distributed energy resources (DERs) in distribution networks around the world. In most jurisdictions the increase in DERs has been met with a "fit and forget" network management approach whereby grid planners accommodate these resources by expanding the capacity of the network with conventional technologies. However, the continued use of a "fit and forget" network management approach will lead to large inefficiencies compared to a network management approach in which DERs play an active role in the planning and operation of distribution networks. The transition to actively managed distribution networks, however, will require the development and deployment of a variety of new technologies and systems, and a sea change in the roles of electricity distribution utilities and in the ways in which utilities are regulated. The objective of this thesis is to equip regulators and network planners with a set of tools that, if adopted, will aid these organizations in transitioning from a passively managed to an actively managed network management paradigm. First, tools are presented for enabling network utilities to invest in the least-cost mix of conventional and unconventional network resources. These include regulatory tools for equalizing incentives for operational and capital expenditures, as well as a quantitative methodology that can aid planners in assessing the least-cost mix of conventional and unconventional investments. Second, regulatory tools are presented for enabling network utilities to adequately invest in specific outcomes that are not directly linked to economic efficiency but that will nonetheless be important for the transition to actively managed networks. Finally, regulatory tools are presented for encouraging distribution utilities to engage in long-term innovation - that is, investment in demonstration projects, as well as the technological learning that emerges from those projects and dissemination of knowledge and best practices between network utilities, technology providers, technology users, and other market participants.

New Delhi (and India more broadly) is noted for extremely high levels of ambient PM2.5, caused by a pattern of rapid urbanization and economic growth. As a large proportion of Indian buildings employ natural- or mixed-mode ventilation, and citizens in New Delhi spend up to 80% of their time indoors, the response of buildings to outdoor-sourced PM2.5 is a major, but relatively under-investigated concern. While much past work in this area has focused on characterizing indoor-outdoor pollutant concentration ratios under different conditions and studying the important question of exposure to cooking related PM2.5 emissions, building dynamical behavior, the feasibility of ventilation control strategies and air purification to reduce indoor PM2.5 concentrations have not been examined in detail. This gap is mirrored in the lack of enforcement of standards for indoor air quality and ventilation in India. In this work, a multi-zone building simulation program, CoolVent, is developed further to incorporate pollutant transport modeling and to consider the effects of urban environments on the driving mass transfer and heat exchange processes by using a mix of methods including a computational fluid dynamics approach to arrive at wind pressure coefficients. The adapted program and simulation framework is used to examine the behavior and performance of archetypal residential buildings in New Delhi and determine the efficacy of control strategies in reducing indoor PM2.5 levels to acceptable international standards. The results suggest that under representative conditions, buildings largely fail to provide healthy environments and hourly average indoor concentrations of PM2.5 closely follow ambient levels, which can exceed 300 [mu]g/m3. Under conditions of strict ventilation control, cooking-related ventilation, use of high efficiency particulate air filtration and limited infiltration through the building envelope, indoor PM2.5 levels may be limited below a threshold of 75 [mu]g/m3 even during periods of very high ambient pollutant concentrations. These findings have implications for building response and operation, urban and indoor air quality management and building codes. Options are discussed for policymakers to reduce exposure to PM2.5 within buildings and enable building occupants to manage their environments better. These span increasing access to appropriate filtration and low-cost air quality monitoring and information, and improvements to building codes. As ambient pollutant levels can be the primary drivers of indoor exposure to PM2.5 for large parts of a typical year, means for reducing PM2.5 emissions from a dominant source, vehicle exhaust, are evaluated.

Utilizing the parameters of the Yiddishist/Deweyian theory, an assessment to determine the practical viability of the Yiddishist concepts is made. Kinder zhurnal, as representative of Yiddishist philosophy and educational methodology, provides the microcosmic source for much of this discussion. Its close affiliation with the unique educational philosophy of the Sholom Aleichem Folk Institute provides the opportunity to examine the educational implications of teaching Yiddish as part of Jewish education.

This thesis addresses to find whether technology readiness, while developing a system of new derivative vehicles, has an influence on the time required to design a part that involves styling and engineering activities. For doing so Styling Level and Technology Readiness were identified as independent variables, whereas Styling Iterations and Styling Iterations Time were designated as the dependent variables. In this case, the tools used to confirm correlation among variables were simple and multiple linear regressions. As it will be further detailed, Styling Iterations Time had the highest response to Technology Readiness while the rest of variables had no significant correlation on time duration for Studio and Engineering design activities. Based on hypothesis results and using OPM hierarchical decomposition, relations between processes and objects were analyzed at a given design state in order to evaluate complete matching relying on bipartite graphs and Hall's Marriage theorem. In addition, it was outlined how to identify delayed processes that fail to coexist due to a low technology readiness at a given design state using the Four-Colour theorem and elaborating about the application of chromatic number and polynomials to the OPM system's architecture. The system of interest was the headlamps system developed under Ford Global Product Development System (GPDS) using the Global Exterior Lighting Plan (PDP).

Full textDen nya förordningen om medicintekniska produkter (MDR) kommer att träda i kraft den 26 maj, 2021. Den nya förordningen innebär högre krav på företag som utvecklar medicintekniska produkter, men även på alla inblandade parter i den medicintekniska industrin. De stärkta kraven innebär att det kommer vara svårare att uppfylla alla kriterier för att kunna placera medicintekniska produkter på marknaden. Detta examensarbete har utförts på uppdrag av Svenska Institutet för Standarder (SIS) och undersöker företagens övergång till MDR och hur företag kan få stöd, bland annat av SIS, men också av andra organisationer och myndigheter. Det har genomförts en kvalitativ litteraturstudie och dokumentstudie för att formulera intervjufrågor som sedan har besvarats av företag, myndigheter och organisationer som på ett eller annat sätt blir påverkade vid övergången till MDR. En del av arbetet var även att ta reda på hur företagen, beroende på storlek, skiljer sig mellan varandra vad gälleratt uppfylla det nya regelverket. Resultatet visade att övergången till MDR skiljer sig markant mellan alla de intervjuade parterna, men att alla är eniga om att standardisering är viktigt.

Full textDuring the 1960 – 1990 period, in spite of the psychological and economical fall-outs of the various wars (Cold War, Korea and Vietnam ) undermining L.B. Johnson’s hopes and plans for a Great Society and his War on Poverty, the American government used its world supremacy and the derived wealth acquired in the wake of W.W. II (the USA was the only western country whose industrial production was impacted positively) to finance popular housing, adult education (G.I. Bill), and the arts (N.E.A.). During those years photography crashed the doors of academia, museum and art institutions, and entered the art market. Landscape has always been a major genre in the American visual arts, from the paintings of the nineteenth century (the Hudson River School, the Luminists) to photography. An interesting synchronicity can be observed between the birth, growth and coming of age of both the medium and the country. Landscape photography participated in the creation of an American identity. A century later, during what we can now call the Golden Age of American landscape photography from New Topographics in the 1970s to the advent of color photography in the 1980s, photographers turned their lenses back toward the east at the damage done and the state of the landscape left behind. The production of wall-size prints followed, competing for attention with paintings on the walls of museums and galleries that welcome them. Since the Culture Wars of the late 1980s and the 1990s, and the defunding of the arts that ensued, the rest of the world has caught up, influenced by the traveling exhibitions and publications of that generation of American photographers

High-tech industry itself possesses high risks, combined with fast fluctuation, short product life cycles. High-tech enterprises thus have to own the flexibility to deal with such situation and enable to survival in the most competitive environment. In the light of increasingly important Research & Development activities and more competitive new products on the market, industries in Taiwan have all require being committed to activities for developing new products. Chung Shan Institute of Science and Technology, an eminent institution developing national defensive weapons, deserves to be explored in its performances of new products development. This research explores the effects of organization characteristic and new product development process on the performance of new product development, and takes large-sized weapon system of Chung Shan Institute of Science and Technology as the research object; the research is carried out in the way of the case study, conducting in-depth interviews in structure. The research uses four variables in the organization characteristic, such as encouragements for creativity, supervisor’s support, resources and time pressure; the new product development process contains five stages, which are product creativity, product concept, product prototype, final product and marketing plan; New product development performances to be explored in their influences include financial performance, market performance, window of opportunity as the framework of the research. The purpose of the research focuses on the following three points: 1. It explores the relations between organization characteristic and new product development process. 2. It explores the effects of the organization characteristic and new product development process to new products, 3. It explores the effects of the organization characteristic and new product development process to new products in Chung Shan Institute of Science and Technology Important findings: 1. On the process of developing new products, either organizational encouragements or superiors’ supports or ample resources have been beneficial to the increase of employees’ creativity; organizational encouragements, superiors’ supports and employee stimulation have greater links with employees’ inner motive; however, ample resources may bring direct effect on employees’ creativity. 2. Case study reveals that there are two hindrance factors on the process of developing new products at Chung Shan Institute of Science and Technology: (1) the product life cycle is longer, so it required less continuing innovation nor new product developments; (2) it has certain markets and fixed customers, so marketing strategies have not been particularly emphasized.

The purposes of this study were to (1) understand the status of new nurses’ working stress, job satisfactions and intention to leave, (2) investigate the impacts of personal attributes on their working stress, job satisfactions and the intention to leave, (3) investigate the relationships among working stress, job satisfactions and intention to leave of these nurses, (4) explore the predictable factors of their job satisfactions status, and (5) explore the predictable factors of their intention to leave. A cross-sectional study was conducted using convenience sampling approach. Participants were recruited from graduates in an institute of technology in northern Taiwan. They had worked in health care institutions for one to twelve months. Structured questionnaires which included personal attributes, working stress, job satisfaction, and intention to leave scales were used for data collection. The collected data were analyzed by SPSS 12.0 for windows. A total of 214 valid questionnaires was obtained and the results are as follows. Participants’ level of working stress was from mild to moderate, their job satisfaction was moderate, and their intention to leave were from rarely to occasionally. Their working stress was significantly different by their working units, salary, and the working motivation. Their job satisfaction was significantly different by their working units, working motivation and practice experiences in the hospitals. Their intention to leave was significantly different by their educational level, working units, part-time working experiences in the hospitals, and working motivation. In addition, participants’ working stress was significantly and negatively correlated with their seniority after graduation, job satisfaction and duration of part-time work. Their intention to leave was significantly and positively correlated with their working stress and seniority after graduation but was significantly and negatively correlated with their job satisfaction. Moreover, working stress and working sections were the significant predictors of job satisfaction, explaining 56% of the variances. Working stress, job satisfaction, seniority after graduation, and working units were the significant predictors of intention to leave, explaining 53% of the variances. The findings of this research can be served as a reference for nursing curriculum design and for new nurse training program. Hopefully the application of the research results could have positive impact on reducing their working stress, increasing nurses’ job satisfactions, reducing their intension to leave, and furthermore lowering their actual behaviors of resignation.

Full textOver the last decade computer technology has impacted tremendously on the survival and productivity of organisations. In today's technologically advanced business environment, much emphasis is being placed on obtaining a competitive advantage through the use of computers - a commodity that has become available to almost everyone in an organisation. Increasing global competition and pressing social needs have impacted with such vigo~ that even tertiary institutions are now facing major financial constraints, thus forcing them to investigate alternative sources of income to maintain sustainability. Through the use of computer technology - searching, retrieving, sorting, producing and organising data efficiently and accurately - the belief is that many departments at the M L Sultan Campus of the Durban Institute of Technology can be converted into income-generating units that can be self-sustaining.
