Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage: A Cost And Sizing Study, Haur D. Shaw, J. Derald Morgan, Max Darwin Anderson Oct 1980

Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage: A Cost And Sizing Study, Haur D. Shaw, J. Derald Morgan, Max Darwin Anderson

UMR-MEC Conference on Energy / UMR-DNR Conference on Energy

Two applications for superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) devices in power systems are studied. One is for peak shaving, and the other is for load leveling. Consideration is given to placing these devices near load centers to reduce the line losses. For (SMES) cases studied using smaller size devices at several load centers, the line losses are lowered. However, the efficiency of SMES is proportional to its size, and the capitol cost per MWH is much greater for a smaller size SMES unit when compared to a larger SMES unit. Once the location or locations for SMES have been selected, …


Economics, Politics And The Future Supply Of Energy Sources, Raphael Shen Oct 1980

Economics, Politics And The Future Supply Of Energy Sources, Raphael Shen

UMR-MEC Conference on Energy / UMR-DNR Conference on Energy

High degree forward linkages created by oil and natural gas consumption was sufficient "justification" to regulate energy prices. The "welfare triangle" was artificially enlarged, and the economy as a whole indeed reaped benefits therefrom. It was workable, then. But the economy has since been experiencing macroeconomic dislocations. To avoid future payments of current policy mistakes, to ensure continued and steady economic growth, and to assure future energy adequacy/ abundance, enhanced investment incentives are rational imperatives that merit serious consideration.

An Analysis Of The Attitudes Of Unlicensed Personnel In San Bernardino Metropolitan Area Convalescent Hospitals Toward Their Jobs And The Geriatric Patients, Theodore G. Sneed Jun 1980

An Analysis Of The Attitudes Of Unlicensed Personnel In San Bernardino Metropolitan Area Convalescent Hospitals Toward Their Jobs And The Geriatric Patients, Theodore G. Sneed

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

In American society, convalescent facility residency is a fact of life for many of the aged. Typically, in these geriatric facilities, eighty to ninety percent of primary patient care services are delivered by unlicensed personnel. Unfortunately, this segment of the convalescent facility employee population tends to be transient, underpaid and overworked, and to feel very low esteem for themselves and their jobs. This situation has produced many service abuses and interaction difficulties in the convalescent facilities. Up until the present there has been little attempt on the part of Sociology to study this portion of the employee population in these …

Closed Systems Also Show Equifinality, Martin Zwick Jan 1980

Closed Systems Also Show Equifinality, Martin Zwick

Complex Systems Faculty Publications and Presentations

The purpose of this note is to address a possible source of confusion in the description, which appears often in the systems literature, of "closed" systems, which seems to derive from the early work of von Bertalanffy (1940, 1950, 1968). Specifically, it is commonly stated (e.g., Rapoport, 1968*; Katz and Kahn, 1974; Kast and Rosenzweig, 1976; Kramer and de Smit, 1977) that "open" systems exhibit the property of equifinality, wherein a particular final state of the system may be reached via different routes from different initial states, in contrast to "closed" systems, where different initial states always result in correspondingly …
