Work In Progress - Designing For Economic Empowerment In Nicaragua, Susannah Howe, Donna Riley, John Farris, Paul Lane, Nola Reinhardt
Work In Progress - Designing For Economic Empowerment In Nicaragua, Susannah Howe, Donna Riley, John Farris, Paul Lane, Nola Reinhardt
Engineering: Faculty Publications
Faculty and students in several disciplines at four institutions in the United States and Nicaragua are collaborating on technology entrepreneurship education for economic empowerment in Esteli, Nicaragua. The project aims to demonstrate a new paradigm for development that is rooted in education. The effort will focus on design and delivery of new curriculum for collaborative, interdisciplinary product development. To demonstrate the curriculum, the effort will launch cross-cultural student teams to identify and develop markets, partners, and technology for entrepreneurial ventures in Nicaragua, utilizing Nicaraguan materials and skills. The envisioned long term goal is local economic empowerment and a sound, collaborative …
Non-Ossicular Signal Transmission In Human Middle Ears: Experimental Assessment Of The "Acoustic Route" With Perforated Tympanic Membranes, Susan E. Voss, John J. Rosowski, Saumil N. Merchant, William T. Peake

Direct acoustic stimulation of the cochlea by the sound-pressure difference between the oval and round windows (called the "acoustic route") has been thought to contribute to hearing in some pathological conditions, along with the normally dominant "ossicular route." To determine the efficacy of this acoustic route and its constituent mechanisms in human ears, sound pressures were measured at three locations in cadaveric temporal bones [with intact and perforated tympanic membranes (TMs)]: (1) in the external ear canal lateral to the TM, PTM; (2) in the tympanic cavity lateral to the oval window, POW; and (3) near the round window, PRW. …
Distributed Resource Participation In Local Balancing Energy Markets, Judith Cardell
Distributed Resource Participation In Local Balancing Energy Markets, Judith Cardell
Engineering: Faculty Publications
In response to the new and potentially conflicting economic and technical demands of independent, distributed resources, the power system requires a new means for coordinating system and market operations. Price signals are one mechanism available to coordinate the operation of a power system in the emerging competitive markets. This paper discusses the integration of distributed resources into the operations of the power system by means of organizing the resources into microgrids and allowing them to participate in local electricity markets through responding to price signals. The simulations of price signals proposed in this paper successively expand upon the current open …
