The Evolution of the Internet Community and the"Yet-to-Evolve" Smart Grid Community: Parallels and Lessons-to-be-Learned

McParland, Charles - 2010

The Smart Grid envisions a transformed US power distribution grid that enables communicating devices, under human supervision, to moderate loads and increase overall system stability and security. This vision explicitly promotes increased participation from a community that, in the past, has had...

How to Estimate the Value of Service Reliability Improvements

Sullivan, Michael J.; Mercurio, Matthew G.; … - 2010

A robust methodology for estimating the value of service reliability improvements is presented. Although econometric models for estimating value of service (interruption costs) have been established and widely accepted, analysts often resort to applying relatively crude interruption cost...

EBW-Bootstrap Current Synergy in the National Spherical Torus Experiment (NSTX)

R.W. Harvey; G. Taylor - 2008

Current driven by electron Bernstein waves (EBW) and by the electron bootstrap effect are calculated separately and concurrently with a kinetic code, to determine the degree of synergy between them. A target {beta} = 40% NSTX plasma is examined. A simple bootstrap model in the CQL3D...

Sexual Volatility and the Spread of HIV.

Romero-Severson, Ethan Obie - 2011

The stability of sexual risk behavior over time is a common assumption in models of HIV transmission. In this thesis I show that this assumption does not hold in a population of gay men at risk of HIV infection and that the violation of this assumption has major implications for our...

Real Exchange Rates Over the Past Two Centuries: How Important is the Harrod-Balassa-Samuelson Effect?

Lothian, James R.; Taylor, Mark P. - 2003

Using long-span data on the dollar-sterling and dollar-franc real exchange rates over the past two centuries, we apply the findings of various strands of the recent literature in order to examine the statistical and economic significance of the Harrod-Balassa-Samuelson effect (the effect of...
