Abstract

Northern New York Library Network, in partnership with the Alaska, New York, South Carolina, and Texas State Libraries, will host facilitated conversations to establish a shared definition of libraries within their community system. The research question at the center of the project; “What is the Tribal and public library’s measurable value to their local community?” This qualitative research project is phase one of the three-year Libraries in Community Systems valuation and modeling project.

Abstract

Regulatory agencies, in cooperation with solid waste departments and private composting facility operators, launched a regional strategy for managing yard trimmings in Puget Sound, WA, in 1998. The project was conceived in response to odor complaints against the Cedar Grove Composting facility. To remedy the odor problems, yard trimmings were diverted from Cedar Grove to composting facilities in Seattle/King County, Pierce County and Snohomish County. Regulators also developed long-term strategies for handling yard trimmings especially during the peak spring and early summer seasons.

Subjects
English language -- Textbooks for foreign speakers, Business communication -- Study and teaching, Education, Languages and linguistics
Abstract

A review of 22 books and other resources available for students of business English reveals that these materials have progressed during the 1990s. However, there is a need for more resources on the language required for use of new technology. Course books are more relevant and flexible, and there are new specialized publications to aid business language practice through simulation exercises. There is a new emphasis on the use of words and terms in context rather than in translation, and video and audio resources incorporate more non-native English speakers.

26. Emergency vehicle alert system (EVAS)

Abstract

The Emergency Vehicle Alert System (EVAS) program is sponsored by the NASA/MSFC Technology Utilization (TU) office. The program was conceived to support the needs of hearing impaired drivers. The objective of the program is to develop a low-cost, small device which can be located in a personal vehicle and warn the driver, via a visual means, of the approach of an emergency vehicle. Many different technologies might be developed for this purpose and each has its own advantages and drawbacks. The requirements for an acoustic detection system, appear to be pretty stringent and may not allow the development of a reliable, low-cost device in the near future. The problems include variations in the sirens between various types of emergency vehicles, distortions due to wind and surrounding objects, competing background noise, sophisticated signal processing requirements, and omni-directional coverage requirements. Another approach is to use a Radio Frequency (RF) signal between the Emergency Vehicle (EV) and the Personal Vehicle (PV). This approach requires a transmitter on each EV and a receiver in each PV, however it is virtually assured that a system can be developed which works. With this approach, the real technology issue is how to make a system work as inexpensively as possible. This report gives a brief summary of the EVAS program from its inception and concentrates on describing the activities that occurred during Phase 4. References 1-3 describe activities under Phases 1-3. In the fourth phase of the program, the major effort to be expended was in development of the microcontroller system for the PV, refinement of some system elements and packaging for demonstration purposes. An EVAS system was developed and demonstrated which used standard spread spectrum modems with minor modifications.

Abstract

The EVAS provides warning for hearing-impaired motor vehicle drivers that an emergency vehicle is in the local vicinity. Direction and distance to the emergency vehicle are presented visually to the driver. This is accomplished by a special RF transmission/reception system. During this phase the receiver and transmitter from Phase 1 were updated and modified and a directional antenna developed. The system was then field tested with good results. Static and dynamic (moving vehicle) tests were made with the direction determined correctly 98 percent of the time.

30. High coercivity and low noise media using glass substrate

Abstract

To improve the recording performance of magnetic media on a glass substrate, we have investigated the effect of coating a glass substrate with additional thin reactive films before sputtering conventional Cr and Co alloy films. NiP3, TiSi2, Cr, or C were used for reactive layers. With a proper reactive layer, the optimized glass substrate media had a coercivity equivalent to textured Al substrate media and noise lower than Al textured media. Macromagnetic performance and read-write performance were evaluated. The correlation of magnetic performance with film microstructure was determined using XRD, TEM, and AFM characterization techniques.
