Resurging Asian Giants: Lessons from the People’S Republic of China and India Resurging Asian Giants: Lessons from the People’s Republic of China and India The economies of the People’s Republic of China and India have seen dramatic growth in recent years. As their respective successes continue to Asian Giants: Resurging reshape the world’s economic landscape, noted Chinese and Indian scholars have studied the two countries’ development paths, in particular their rich and diverse experiences in such areas as education, information technology, local entrepreneurship, capital markets, macroeconomic management, foreign direct investment, and state-owned enterprise reforms. Drawing on these studies, the Asian Development Bank has produced a timely collection of lessons learned that serves as a valuable refresher on the challenges and opportunities ahead for developing economies, especially those in Asia and the Pacific. About the Asian Development Bank Lessons from the People’s Republic of China and India Republic Lessons from the People’s ADB’s vision is an Asia and Pacific region free of poverty.

  • Material Culture from the Wilson Farm Tenancy: Artifact Analysis
    AT THE ROAD’S EDGE: FINAL ARCHAEOLOGICAL INVESTIGATIONS OF THE WILSON FARM TENANCY SITE 7 Material Culture from the Wilson Farm Tenancy: Artifact Analysis LABORATORY AND ANALYTICAL METHODS The URS laboratory in Burlington, New Jersey, processed the artifacts recovered from Site 7NC- F-94. All artifacts were initially cleaned, labeled, and bagged (throughout, technicians maintained the excavation provenience integrity of each artifact). Stable artifacts were washed in water with Orvis soap using a soft bristle brush, then air-dried; in some cases, on an individual basis, artifacts deemed too delicate to wash were dry brushed—this is often the case with badly deteriorated iron and bone objects considered noteworthy. Technicians then labeled items such as prehistoric lithics, historic ceramics, bone, glass, and some metal artifacts. Labeling was conducted using an acid free, conservation grade, .25mm Staedtler marking pen applied over a base coat of Acyloid B72 resin; once the ink dried, the label was sealed with a second layer of Acyloid B72. The information marked on the artifacts consisted of the provenience catalog number. Once the artifacts were processed, they were then inventoried in a Microsoft Access database. The artifacts were sorted according to functional groups and material composition in this inventory. Separate analyses were conducted on the artifacts and inventory data to answer site spatial and temporal questions. Outside consultants analyzed the floral and faunal materials. URS conducted soil flotation. In order to examine the spatial distributions of artifacts in the plowzone, we entered the data for certain artifact types into the Surfer 8.06.39 contouring and surface-mapping program.

Hudgins, Committee Chair Elizabeth Garrett Ryan Richard Marks, III ABSTRACT Shortly before Europe’s industrial revolution, tradesmen discovered an ingenious way to rig bells in houses to mechanize communication between homeowners and their servants. Mechanical bell systems, now known as house bells or servant call bells, were prevalent in Britain and America from the late 1700s to the early twentieth century. These technological ancestors of today’s telephone were operated by the simple pull of a knob or a tug of a tassel mounted on an interior wall.

  • Virtual Power Station 2.0
    2014/RND032 VIRTUAL POWER STATION 2.0 Project results and lessons learnt Lead organisation: Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO). Project commencement date: October 2014 Completion date: January 2018 Date published: January 2018 Contact name: Chris Knight Title: Senior Research Engineer Email: [email protected] Phone: +61 2 4960 6049 Website: https://www.csiro.au/en/Research/EF/Areas/Electricity-grids-and-systems/Intelligent- systems/Virtual-power-station 1 Summary The increasing uptake of both solar PV and battery systems poses a serious risk of exceeding the hosting capacity of many Australian distribution network segments. Large amount of uncoordinated solar PV and battery systems can result in so called ‘power quality’ problems, with unacceptably high and fluctuating voltages, an inability to export to grid at times, and restrictions placed on the proportion of energy sourced from PV. Many existing energy-optimization solutions provide benefits to only one party: typically either the customer or the distribution network service provider (DNSP). The purpose behind the Virtual Power Station 2.0 (VPS2) project, by contrast, was to develop a moderately-priced solution that delivers balanced technical and economic benefits for all parties (customers, DNSPs and society). The solution leverages controllable PV, batteries, and loads (air-conditioners) to first optimise on-site electricity supply and demand and then aggregates customer-devices to deliver optimal solutions for the network as a whole. Building upon CSIRO’s seminal Virtual Power Station (VPS) research, this project examined: 1. On-Site Supply & Demand Co-Ordination: Development of an integrated control system for coordinating major appliance loads, energy storage, solar export and reactive power within residential and small commercial sites.
