A Word Path Puzzle

In each of the 25 five-by-five letter arrays below, a word having no repeated letters can be traced out by horizontal or vertical steps. As you discover the word in each array, place its initial letter in a blank five-by-five square whose cells are defined by the positions of the 25 individual arrays in the square pattern below

Word Weights

In his article Lightweights and Heavyweights in the November 1972 issue of Word Ways, Darryl Francis introduced the concept of weight for words. He then went on to form two lists, one of words that were heavy for their size and another of words that were light for their size. I\u27d like to play around with that concept a bit more in this article

The electromagnetic ram action of the plasma focus as a paradigm for the generation of cosmic rays and the gigantic jets in active galaxies

Recent measurements of the energy spectrum of the plasma-focus-generated deuteron beam yield as spectrum of the form N(E)=(approx.) E to the -2.7 for 1MeV E 13 MeV. Other measurements show that the beta 1 electron beam which is generated simultaneously with the deuteron beam is interrupted into segments of spacing 25ps and duration approximately 4ps. A stuttering-electro-magnetic-ram (ser) model of the plasma focus in proposed which is similar to Raudorf's electronic ram which produces a similar spectrum for an electron beam for 1Mev E 10MeV. It is proposed that the cosmic ray spectrum and the giganic galactic jets are both generated by ser action near the centers of active galaxies

Mental Health: The Psychological Impact on Collegiate Student-Athletes

Mental health is a prevalent issue that regular students and especially student-athletes struggle with. Many college-athletes deal with many different obligations that cause an increase in stress. The paper will discuss the common mental health disorders that a large percentage of college students struggle with throughout their college experiences. Moreover, the paper will discuss how athlete’s deal with psychological disorders due to different factors such as dealing with injuries, ending of sports careers, and pressure from sports performances, which are stressors that cause student athletes to deal with high depression levels. In addition, Elaborate on how injuries are a prevalent issue that causes athletes to deal with negative mental health rates because of the different responses , which are regular emotional responses and problematic responses. Also, will discuss the different stressors such as performance and competition pressure, high academic expectations, and social life can cause a negative effect on a college athlete\u27s mental health. Moreover, the paper will discuss the low percentage of college athletes not utilizing mental health resources. In addition, the paper will touch on the issue that athletes need the support system from athletic trainers and other health care professionals because it can be a positive solution to athletes that suffer from psychological disorders

Economics in Transition: Issues Applicable to Climate Change

This dissertation presents three essays on topics that characterize the challenges of the energy transition. The first two focus on mitigating the worst impacts of climate change while the final hones in on adapting to climate change. The first essay estimates willingness-to-pay (WTP) of electricity customers for rooftop solar within the Tennessee Valley Authority. Applying a conditional logit model, the probability of adoption rises with utility rates and emissions-reductions and declines with costs. Evidence of social contagion exists with adoption probabilities increasing 55 − 57% when respondents know someone with panels. WTP also rises. Comparing aggregated to regional WTPs confirms the impact of social contagion. As residential rooftop solar adoption accelerates the energy transition while minimizing transmission investments, utility asset planners may want to incorporate this feedback loop on social contagion. The second essay analyzes the negative impacts of carbon policy. While a carbon tax would reduce our reliance on fossil fuels, it may introduce a systemic risk to the economy by shortening the economic life of carbon assets. This essay investigates whether past policies promoting exploration increases the magnitude of stranded assets when policy changes. We find carbon taxes cause firms to leave more reserves undeveloped, but firms suffer 20% fewer stranded assets under inconsistent policy than BAU due to lower marginal production costs from larger stock effects though this yields minimal differences in profits. Policymakers hesitant to deploy carbon taxes may need to reconsider whether our current treatment of stranded assets is confusing them with sunk costs. The third essay pivots towards the effort to adapt to climate change. We study growth and convergence across California cities after Proposition 13 normalized property tax rates and initiated a redistribution of wealth. I find strong evidence of convergence across cities as measured by per capita property values and little evidence that the transfer dampened the growth of household wealth in transfer cities. I find significant variation in line-item expenditure productivity. Investments boosting city functionality induce growth while spending on services better achieved by regional coordination reduces growth. Increasing revenues spur growth when they do not inhibit the public’s marginal propensity to consume
