With the population increase, the high demand of energy from the residential sector, as well as the harsh weather conditions of the Las Vegas region, there needs to be careful consideration in the design of new homes. Energy efficiency in a single family residential building can be augmented early in the design process by careful consideration of the building form and orientation. A systematic investigation and analysis was taken to study the effects of five building forms and different orientations along the cardinal points using the software BEopt version 2.4.0.1. To connect the study to real world circumstances, a residential …
The Sun Doesn't Always Shine In Ohio: Reevaluating Renewable Portfolio Standards In Light Of Changed Conditions, Jeffrey M. Smith
The Sun Doesn't Always Shine In Ohio: Reevaluating Renewable Portfolio Standards In Light Of Changed Conditions, Jeffrey M. Smith
Michigan Journal of Environmental & Administrative Law
In 2014, with the signing of Senate Bill 310 (S.B. 310), Ohio became the first state to put a temporary “freeze” on its renewable portfolio standard (RPS) and energy efficiency mandates. The law has generated nationwide attention and been criticized as a step back in the state’s clean energy policy. This Note examines the central justifications for the passage of S.B. 310, challenging conventional wisdom that the law does not serve the interests of Ohio citizens. After the passage of Ohio’s RPS in 2008, the economic and energy landscape within the state changed dramatically, due in large part to technological …

Architecture Senior Theses
Digital data contributes to an increasingly alienated aspect of our infrastructure. The complex practices of the Internet produce highly specified, engineered objects. Though their forms are ‘optimized,’ their intentions are not: the two primary considerations for the development of the infrastructure of the Internet are energy and security. Each category presents its own deliberations, but both often produce non-architectural, infrastructural elements beyond public visibility. The hidden infrastructure of data storage and mining (the indexing and analysis of data and traffic) produces spaces outside the agency of normative architectural discourse.
The key consideration for the design of the Internet is redundancy, …
Responses Of Two Strains Of Broilers To Diets Varying In Essential Amino Acid Density And Energy Levels, Tyler James Clark
Responses Of Two Strains Of Broilers To Diets Varying In Essential Amino Acid Density And Energy Levels, Tyler James Clark
Graduate Theses and Dissertations
The responses of two different commercial strains of broilers to diets varying in overall amino acid levels and metabolizable energy levels were observed. Amino acid levels used were 80%, 90%, 100%, 110%, 120%, and 130% of Ross recommended minimum digestable levels of essential amino acids. Energy levels used were either below or above Ross recommended metabolizable energy levels. Diets were fed for 56 days. The two strains were a fast growing broiler strain and a slower growing broiler strain. A selection of birds from each pen was processed at 35, 43, and 56 days of age. Average body weights, cumulative …

Oat Β-Glucan Supplementation Does Not Enhance The Effectiveness Of An Energy-Restricted Diet In Overweight Women, Eleanor J. Beck, Linda C. Tapsell, Marijka J. Batterham, Susan M. Tosh, Xu-Feng Huang
Dr Marijka Batterham
Epidemiological evidence shows an inverse relationship between dietary fibre intake and body weight gain. Oat β-glucan, a soluble fibre alters appetite hormones and subjective satiety in acute meal test studies, but its effects have not been demonstrated with chronic consumption. The present study aimed to test the effects in women of two different doses of oat β-glucan on weight loss and hormones associated with appetite regulation. In a 3-month parallel trial, sixty-six overweight females were randomised into one of three 2 MJ energy-deficit diets: a control and two interventions including 5–6 g or 8–9 g β-glucan. Anthropometric and metabolic variables …

The Clean Power Plan Puzzle: The Future Of Efforts To Control Climate Pollution In The Northeast, David Gahl, Pearl Gray, Nick Martin
Environmental Law Program Publications @ Haub Law
In October 2015 the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) finalized the first national plan to cut climate pollution from power plants. Called the Clean Power Plan (CPP), the effort requires a 32% nation-wide reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the power sector. The CPP also gives states multiple pathways to comply. Now states are on the clock: they must submit their individual compliance plans or signal their intent to submit multi-state plans by September 2016.
The nine states participating in the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI), the first market-based trading platform established to cut climate pollution from power plants …

Community Voices: Perspectives On Renewable Energy In Nunavut, Nicole C. Mcdonald, Joshua M. Pearce
Joshua M. Pearce
Nunavut communities currently depend on imported diesel fuel for virtually all of their energy needs. This dependency not only hinders the ability of communities to be self-sufficient, but also has negative impacts on their environment, health, and social well-being. The current practices waste 65% of the energy created and place a serious economic strain on the society by consuming 20% of the government’s annual budget. Although renewable energy technologies (RETs) could partially offset diesel use, there is a lack of sufficient information to mold appropriate policy. This investigation of community perspectives contributes to information needed to develop sustainable energy policies …
Simulations Of Greenhouse Gas Emission Reductions From Low-Cost Hybrid Solar Photovoltaic And Cogeneration Systems For New Communities, Amir H. Nosrat, Lukas G. Swan, Joshua M. Pearce
Simulations Of Greenhouse Gas Emission Reductions From Low-Cost Hybrid Solar Photovoltaic And Cogeneration Systems For New Communities, Amir H. Nosrat, Lukas G. Swan, Joshua M. Pearce
Joshua M. Pearce
Recent work has shown that small-scale combined heat and power (CHP) and solar photovoltaic (PV) technologies have symbiotic relationships, which enable coverage of technical weaknesses while providing the potential of significant greenhouse gas emission reductions at the residential level. With the reductions in the cost of PV systems and the increasing maturity of CHP systems an opportunity exists for widespread commercialization of the technology, particularly for new construction. In order to determine the potential for this opportunity and to optimize the design of PV–CHP systems for greatest emission and cost reductions in the residential context a simulation, an optimization model …
Energy As A Factor For Turkish - Russian Rapprochement, Saltuk Bugra Karahan
Energy As A Factor For Turkish - Russian Rapprochement, Saltuk Bugra Karahan
Graduate Program in International Studies Theses & Dissertations
This dissertation started with a simple question: What was the main source of Turkish-Russian rapprochement seen generally after the end of the Cold War, specifically within the last 15 years (2001-2015)? A review of the literature on the subject revealed three explanations for Turkish-Russian rapprochement: (1) Perception of the U.S. as a threat in the Black Sea and Caucasus region, (2) Deterioration of Turkey’s relations with the West, and (3) Turkey’s need for energy. Thus came the main question for this work: To what extent does Turkey’s need for energy play a role in Turkish-Russian rapprochement? Although each of the …

Effect Of Electrode Placement On Delivered Energy For Internal Atrial Defibrillation, Gabriel Onyeabor Okpah
Effect Of Electrode Placement On Delivered Energy For Internal Atrial Defibrillation, Gabriel Onyeabor Okpah
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Numerous clinical studies indicate the feasibility and safety of the use of internal atrial defibrillators to successfully treat atrial fibrillation (AF). However, the delivered energy to successfully defibrillate the atria is often painful for patients. This study aims to show the effects of small shifts in electrode placement on the defibrillation threshold (DFT) by computational simulations employing the use of an anatomically realistic human torso model. Electric fields were computed using COMSOL Multiphysics 5.1 for 10 electrode placement variations of 2 clinically relevant placements. The percent difference comparison between the two standard clinical configurations used show that a significantly higher …
Clean Energy Federalism, Felix Mormann
Clean Energy Federalism, Felix Mormann
Faculty Scholarship
Legal scholarship tends to approach the law and policy of clean energy from an environmental law perspective. As hydraulic fracturing, renewable energy integration, nuclear reactor (re)licensing, transport biofuel mandates, and other energy issues have pushed to the forefront of the environmental law debate, clean energy law has begun to emancipate itself. The emerging literature on clean energy federalism is a symptom of this emancipation. This Article adds to that literature by offering two case studies, a novel model for policy integration, and theoretical insights to elucidate the relationship between environmental federalism and clean energy federalism.

Fabrication Of Micro-Batteries Via Stop-Flow Lithography, Chaoqun Ding, Carlos Martinez, Ernesto Marinero
Fabrication Of Micro-Batteries Via Stop-Flow Lithography, Chaoqun Ding, Carlos Martinez, Ernesto Marinero
The Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) Symposium
Fabrication of micro-MEM devices and stretchable wearable electronics is important for future applications in materials, medicine and drug delivery. A key challenge in this area is the fabrication of rechargeable micro batteries with thicknesses < 500 μm, area < 0.1 mm2, energy densities of at least 1 to 10μWh cm-2 μμm-1. The overarching aim of this project is to develop a robust platform to fabricate micro batteries by combining double emulsion generation to fabricate porous microspheres that will serve as the anode and cathode materials and stop-flow lithography in microfludic devices to assemble the battery internals in a single step. In this presentation, I will discuss the tasks performed to assemble the stop flow lithography system, and the generation of active materials from double emulsions. The tasks include: (1) setting up the shutter and solenoid as well as syncing their operation, (2) fabricated masks for micro-particles by electric cutter and printing method, (3) performed trials to fabricate particles of different sizes and shapes, and (4) fabricated and operated double emulsion devices. The work accomplished during the summer serves as a strong foundation for the rest of the project.
Essays On Environmental Economics, Shukhrat Usmonovich Musinov
Essays On Environmental Economics, Shukhrat Usmonovich Musinov
Doctoral Dissertations
This dissertation consists of two chapters. Chapter 1 examines the effect of transportation costs of shipping ethanol on retail gasoline prices over space. The Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) of 2007 legislated a new market into existence in the U.S. by mandating that ethanol be blended with petroleum in retail gasoline markets. Using a quantile difference-in-differences econometric approach to analyze weekly retail gasoline price data for over 200 cities from 2007 to 2014, we find evidence that the mandate differentially impacted gasoline prices across the U.S. Specifically, we find that cities farther from ethanol production centers paid higher retail gasoline prices …

Integrated Li-Ion Ultracapacitor With Lead Acid Battery For Vehicular Start-Stop, Emad Manla
Theses and Dissertations
Advancements in automobile manufacturing aim at improving the driving experience at every level possible. One improvement aspect is increasing gas efficiency via hybridization, which can be achieved by introducing a feature called start-stop. This feature automatically switches the internal combustion engine off when it idles and switches it back on when it is time to resume driving. This application has been proven to reduce the amount of gas consumption and emission of greenhouse effect gases in the atmosphere. However, the repeated cranking of the engine puts a large amount of stress on the lead acid battery required to perform the …

Since I began teaching 10 years ago, I have been summoned by an energy, a vitality that is guiding me. Most days when I walk into the classroom, no matter what is going on in my life, I connect with an energy that makes my heart feel full, brings my whole body alive and fills me with joy. This thesis is an investigation of what I experience when I enter the classroom. I love the energy I have in the classroom. I don’t think it is special to me. I think this energy is available to anyone, if they are …
Endangered Species In The Oil Patch: Challenges And Opportunities For The Oil And Gas Industry, Gabriel Eckstein, Jesse Snyder
Endangered Species In The Oil Patch: Challenges And Opportunities For The Oil And Gas Industry, Gabriel Eckstein, Jesse Snyder
Gabriel Eckstein
Tension among competing interests is nothing new in environmental law. Even among the most tenacious adversaries, the ability to find common ground can serve as an impetus to further the aims of both industry and environmental proponents. Broadly speaking, advocates of the oil and gas industry prefer few restraints, if any, on exploration, development, and production. Comparatively, champions of biological and ecological preservation favor regulatory protections to conserve these interests. Cutting across these often disparate objectives, the Endangered Species Act (ESA) presents a not-so-obvious opportunity for both sides to receive a share of the pie through cooperation and forward planning. …

Recovering From The Recovery Narrative: On Globalism, Green Jobs And Cyborg Civilization, Michael Burger
Akron Law Review
In this Essay, I make a preliminary foray into this new narrative terrain, identifying several emerging legal storylines that have arisen in the wake of climate change disruptions and that I predict will prove influential in the coming years. In Part I, I discuss the ways in which new perceptions of scale are re-defining human beings’ attachments to a sense of “place” or “dwelling” and are shaping new attitudes about what constitutes the local, posing potential problems for existing federalism schemes. In Part II, I discuss the ways in which America’s long history of nationalizing nature manifests in the discourse …
