An introduction to the Princeton sailwing windmill

Specifically discussed is the sailwing windmill. The aerodynamic characteristics of the sailwing itself are presented in condensed form and its natural application to the wind machine is discussed. Past and present sailwing windmill configurations are shown and their relative merits are compared. A section on a future promising configuration is presented and its compatibility to advanced technology electrical machinery is briefly discussed. Also included is a short bibliography

Marine flora and fauna of the eastern United States Mollusca: Cephalopoda

The cephalopods found in neritic waters of the northeastern United States include myopsid and oegopsid squids, sepiolid squids, and octopods. A key with diagnostic illustrations is provided to aid in identification of the eleven species common in the neritic waters between Cape Hatteras and Nova Scotia; included also is information on two oceanic species that occur over the continental shelf in this area and that can be confused with similar-looking neritic species. Other sections comprise a glossary of taxonomic characters used for identification of these species, an annotated systematic checklist, and checklists of the 89 other oceanic species and 18 Carolinian and subtropical neritic species that might occur occasionally off the northeastern United States.

Marginal states of the resistive tearing mode with flow in cylindrical geometry

The linear stability of tearing modes in a cylindrical plasma subject to a sub-Alfvénic equilibrium shear flow along the equilibrium magnetic field is considered. The equations in the resistive boundary layer at the rational surface are solved numerically using a Fourier transform combined with a finite-element approach. The behaviour of the growth rate as a function of the flow and the various parameters (including a perpendicular fluid viscosity) is obtained. Marginal stability curves showing the dependence of the familiar matching parameter Δ' with flow and shear are also given

And Our Neighbors as Ourselves? Serving Unaffiliated Patrons in Christian Library Consortium Libraries

While the primary responsibility of academic libraries is to support the students, staff, and faculty of the college or university that hosts them, most academic libraries offer access and services to patrons without official ties to the campus. Academic librarians often experience the tension between a professional desire to provide full access and services to all information seekers and the reality of limited time and resources. Previous studies have described services offered by academic libraries to unaffiliated patrons, but no study has focused exclusively on academic libraries whose host institutions are faith-based. This paper describes unaffiliated patron policies from Christian Library Consortium [CLC] members, which serve faith-based institutions. This paper seeks to equip libraries serving faith-based institutions to define their relationships with unaffiliated patrons by presenting a thorough review of the literature and describing the current policies and practices of CLC libraries regarding service to these patrons

The Effect of the Screening, Brief Intervention, Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) Model on Adult Depression in an Outpatient Setting

Depression is one of the most common chronic conditions in the world. Despite this, depression continues to be under-screened, inaccurately assessed and diagnosed, and poorly treated in outpatient settings. Many providers solely rely on clinical judgement instead of a screening tool or evidence-based toolkit when a patient presents with depression symptoms, resulting in underdiagnosis and inappropriate treatment. Utilization of resources can help a provider appropriately screen, diagnose and treat an individual with depression. Screening, Brief Intervention, Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) is an evidence-based model intended to improve these measures. Studies from the literature support the efficacy of the SBIRT model in depression treatment. This project focused on implementing the SBIRT model within two satellite primary care clinics. The purpose was to improve outcomes of patients with depression. During the 3-month implementation period, 10 patients had initial visits where the SBIRT model was utilized and 7 patients returned for follow-up visits. Results showed the average PHQ-9 scores decreased from 14.06 to 8.59 (p-value = 0.001, 95% CI [3.426, 7.512]), 7 referrals to counseling were made, 4 antidepressants were prescribed, and increased medication titration occurred for 5 patients. These results suggest that utilization of the SBIRT model improved adult depression in the outpatient setting

Daigle v. Shell Oil Company and the Bumpy Road to the Recoverability of Medical Monitoring Expenses Under CERCLA

In 1980, President Carter signed the first hazardous waste cleanup bill into law.\u27 The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) serves as a tool for government cleanup of hazardous waste sites, but those who anxiously waited for Congress to pass a hazardous waste cleanup bill were disappointed with the final bill. The proposed bill had been broadly compromised. The lack of legislative history indicates the rushed process through which Congress passed the bill. Like a game show contest- ant who must accept or reject what is behind the door without knowing exactly what it entails, the House had to either pass or reject the bill without the opportunity for revisions or comments. A bipartisan Senate group wrote and passed the revised bill, and then, under a suspension of the rule that prohibited amendments, placed it before the House as an amendment to the earlier House Bill. After waiting over three years for the Senate to enact a hazardous waste cleanup bill, the House faced two options: it could accept this complicated bill or risk three more years of debate during which time no hazardous waste cleanup legislation would exist
