Proposes ways to improve home heating efficiency to reduce energy use and costs, describes the expected economic benefits to the state, and makes policy recommendations for raising efficiency standards and expanding weatherization assistance programs

Use and abuse of the quasi-steady-state approximation

The transient kinetic behaviour of an open single enzyme, single substrate reaction is examined. The reaction follows the Van Slyke–Cullen mechanism, a spacial case of the Michaelis–Menten reaction. The analysis is performed both with and without applying the quasi-steady-state approximation. The analysis of the full system shows conditions for biochemical pathway coupling, which yield sustained oscillatory behaviour in the enzyme reaction. The reduced model does not demonstrate this behaviour. The results have important implications in the analysis of open biochemical reactions and the modelling of metabolic systems

Analisis Hidrologi untuk Perencanaan Sistem Polder di DKI Jakarta

The application of the polder system for flood control in DKI Jakarta has become a must for coastal areas, especially with the construction of sea dikes along the coast of Jakarta as a solution to anticipate tidal flooding. One thing to consider when using a polder system in flood control is how much pump capacity and reservoir are needed. To answer this quetions, a hydrological analysis has been carried out with several method approaches, starting from determining the rainfall design in the form of a depth duration frequency curve in 1 hour to 48 hours, and then applied area reduction factor (ARF) to corrected rainfall design. Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) method are uses to calculated runoff or effective rainfall and then with the unit hydrograph by time area method to produce a runoff hydrograph. Based on this approach, the Sentiong Polder plan has been carried out with the result that the required pump capacity for a 25-year return period is 32 m3/s and 50 m3/s for a 100-year return period with a storage capacity used of 1,507,500 m3. If you want to reduce the pump capacity, it is necessary to increase the storage capacity.The application of the polder system for flood control in DKI Jakarta has become a must for coastal areas, especially with the construction of sea dikes along the coast of Jakarta as a solution to anticipate tidal flooding.

ENHANCED TELEPHONY USING HUMAN INAUDIBLE DATA OVER VOICE CHANNEL

A telephone, such as a mobile phone, places a telephone call to another telephone by transmitting a signal (e.g., digital or analog) indicative of a sound wave. The signal indicative of the sound wave encodes sound data over a voice channel. The sound data includes human audible data, such as data indicative of sounds (e.g., voice) captured by a microphone. That is, the frequency of the sound wave that encodes the human audible data is within a frequency range audible by humans. The sound data also includes human inaudible data, such as a telephone number of the calling device, an image of the caller, a location of the calling device, associated with the calling telephone or a user of the calling telephone. That is, the frequency of the sound wave that encodes the human inaudible data is above the frequency range audible by humans. When the recipient telephone receives the signal indicative of the sound data, the recipient telephone converts the signal to a human audible sound wave that encodes the human audible data. The recipient telephone may utilize the human inaudible data to enhance the functionality of the call. For example, the recipient telephone may display the human inaudible data (e.g., a phone number of the calling device and/or an image of the caller) or connect a video call via URL encoded in the human inaudible data

Provider and Staff Education to Improve Health Care for the LGBTQ+ Population

Abstract: Purpose: The LGBTQ+ population makes up ~10% of the total population of the world. In the U.S., Vermont has the highest per capita LGBTQ+ population out of any other state. This population is at high risk for numerous health disparities and discrimination by providers. The disparities include higher rates of STI’s, substance use, mental health diagnoses, domestic violence, sexual and physical assault, and lower rates of routine cancer screenings. These can be mitigated by accepting and knowledgeable providers. Methods: This project sought to improve health care for LGBTQ+ individuals in Vermont by offering an in-person seminar educating providers and staff on LGBTQ+ terminology, health disparities and caring for this population. Outcomes of this seminar were determined using a pre-and post-teaching surveys, and a follow up survey ~2 months post seminar with 2 providers. Results: There was an increase in knowledge in LGBTQ+ terminology, health disparities and care for this population indicated in the post survey. The follow-up survey showed providers being more cognizant of this population sustained efforts to promote a more inclusive environment. Conclusions: The educational seminar was found to be useful in improving the knowledge of providers. It also showed long term understanding for practice change
