The Hawaiians: supplement 1983-1987

Supplement includes contents arranged by Author and Record number and Index.Scattered over two centuries of Hawaiian literature is a multitude of little- known and often forgotten publications depicting and analyzing ancient and modern Hawaiians and their culture. This bibliography will introduce and describe some of this body of writings to those seeking information about the Hawaiian people. The bases for inclusion in this compilation are Hawaiian subject matter, English language format, and accessibility. Although the imprints cited were chosen irrespective of academic field or level, the selections reflect the compiler's historical bent and the publisher's discipline. The annotations are descriptive, rather than critical, and are based on a personal examination of each text. Entries are numbered and arranged alpha¬betically by personal or corporate author, or lacking these, by title. Multiple works of an author appear chronologically. Since most of the items are in the Hawaiian Collection, there are no location symbols except for HAM, Hamilton Library collection; HHS, Hawaiian Historical Society Library; and R, Judith Rubano's Culture and Behavior in Hawaii. Hawaiian diacritical markings—the kālele leo or macron, indicating a stressed vowel, and the 'u'ina or hamza, representing a glottal stop—are not used unless they appeared in titles. Newspaper articles are omitted since the Index to the Honolulu Advertiser and Honolulu Star-Bulletin contains numerous references from 1929 to the present. The series on Hawaiian culture that Charles Kenn wrote for the University of Hawaii newspaper, Ka Leo O Hawaii, in the early 1930s, however, is cited. Legends are generally excluded because of the extensive listings in the Hawaii Library Association's Hawaiian Legends Index and Amos Leib's Hawaiian Legends in English. Children's books are left out. Articles from Imua I Ke Kumu, Ko Kakou, Laulima, and Mo'olelo, the local high school Foxfire journals, are included

History of the College of Hawaii

Thesis (M.A.)--University of Hawaii at Manoa, 1966Forty years ago Arthur Lyman Dean delivered the University of Hawaii's commencement address in which he described the institution's college era. His discourse, later published as the Historical Sketch of the University of Hawaii, remained the standard work on the College of Hawaii. Later accounts not only suffered from brevity and inaccuracy, but they also continued to portray the College without reference to the Island community. This thesis attempts to place the College in proper perspective and provide a basis for future studies by filling in gaps and correcting errors found in the present state of University chronology. The Minutes of the Board of Regents were my main source of information ..

Minnesota Low Carbon Fuels Standard Study

The project was managed by the Center for Transportation Studies, University of Minnesota.Under a Minnesota Department of Commerce, Office of Energy Security contract, the University of Minnesota investigated and developed modeling and analytical frameworks with available data in order to compare the greenhouse gas, economic, and environmental implications of various low carbon fuel standards (LCFS) policies for vehicles operated on Minnesota public roads. This report provides findings of work performed under this contract. A low carbon fuels standard (LCFS) would require any person producing, refining, blending, or importing transportation fuels in Minnesota to reduce these fuels' average carbon intensity (AFCI), measured across the full fuel cycle: feedstock extraction, production, transport, storage, and use. An LCFS is expected to lower overall emissions from the transportation fleet. The framework was used in part to analyze a performance-based LCFS that measures progress in reducing greenhouse gas emissions on a lifecycle basis and the economic and environmental impacts on each transportation fuel and production pathway as compared to the state's current policies to replace gasoline consumption with 20 percent ethanol by 2013, and to replace diesel consumption with 20 percent biodiesel by 2015.Minnesota Department of Commerce, Energy Foundation, and the U of M Initiative for Renewable Energy and the Environmen

Emissions from Ethanol-Gasoline Blends: A Single Particle Perspective

Due to its agricultural origin and function as a fuel oxygenate, ethanol is being promoted as an alternative biomass-based fuel for use in spark ignition engines, with mandates for its use at state and regional levels. While it has been established that the addition of ethanol to a fuel reduces the particulate mass concentration in the exhaust, little attention has been paid to changes in the physicochemical properties of the emitted particles. In this work, a dynamometer-mounted GM Quad-4 spark ignition engine run without aftertreatment at 1,500 RPM and 100% load was used with four different fuel blends, containing 0, 20, 40 and 85 percent ethanol in gasoline. This allowed the effects of the fuel composition to be isolated from other effects. Instrumentation employed included two Aerosol Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometers covering different size ranges for analysis of single particle composition, an Aethalometer for black carbon, a Scanning Mobility Particle Sizer for particle size distributions, a Photoelectric Aerosol Sensor for particle-bound polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) species and gravimetric filter measurements for particulate mass concentrations. It was found that, under the conditions investigated here, additional ethanol content in the fuel changes the particle size distribution, especially in the accumulation mode, and decreases the black carbon and total particulate mass concentrations. The molecular weight distribution of the PAHs was found to decrease with added ethanol. However, PAHs produced from higher ethanol-content fuels are associated with NO2 − (m/z—46) in the single-particle mass spectra, indicating the presence of nitro-PAHs. Compounds associated with the gasoline (e.g., sulfur-containing species) are diminished due to dilution as ethanol is added to the fuel relative to those associated with the lubricating oil (e.g., calcium, zinc, phosphate) in the single particle spectra. These changes have potential implications for the health effect impacts of particulate emissions from biofuel blends

Diesel Aerosol Sampling in the Atmosphere

The University of Minnesota Center for Diesel Research along with a research team including Caterpillar, Cummins, Carnegie Mellon University, West Virginia University (WVU), Paul Scherrer Institute in Switzerland, and Tampere University in Finland have performed measurements of Diesel exhaust particle size distributions under real-world dilution conditions. A mobile aerosol emission laboratory (MEL) equipped to measure particle size distributions, number concentrations, surface area concentrations, particle bound PAHs, as well as CO 2 and NO x concentrations in real time was built and will be described. The MEL was used to follow two different Cummins powered tractors, one with an older engine (L10) and one with a state-of-the-art engine (ISM), on rural highways and measure particles in their exhaust plumes. This paper will describe the goals and objectives of the study and will describe representative particle size distributions observed in roadway experiments with the truck powered by the ISM engine
