The ramp will merge you onto the right road. Stay on that road through two sets of lights and past the Intel Plant. The road will gradually get narrower, until it's just a winding lane in the woods.

The Simons Theater is not yet open to the public and has been available for ‘members-only’ and staff previews while the finishing touches are put into place. Thanks to the efforts of Elizabeth Coleman and our Aquarium liaison, Sherry Floyd, for putting this night together and to wonderful staff at the new theater, especially Derek and Mark, not only for accommodating NEADC for the preview but for allowing us to remain afterward to conduct our annual election of officers and drawing for Giant Ocean Tank dive. This free preview is just one of the many benefits of becoming a member of the New England Aquarium Dive Club!

MARINE ANIMAL STRANDINGS NETWORK VOLUNTEER TRAINING The Rescue and Rehabilitation Department of New England Aquarium (NEAq), the New England Aquarium Dive Club, Inc. (NEADC) and the Cape Cod Stranding Network (CCSN) hosted a two-part workshop for mass stranding volunteers on Saturday, November 17th, at the Salt Pond Visitor Center of the Cape Cod National Seashore in Eastham, Massachusetts. Over 100 volunteers learned about the Incident Command System (ICS) Training/Supportive Care Techniques. The ICS is used by fire departments and other emergency agencies as a method of coordinating emergency responses. ICS is particularly useful when multiple rescuers and agencies are involved in the same operation. CCSN and NEAq have recently adopted this method of organizing mass stranding response. Mass stranding volunteers should attend this session to become comfortable with this system and to facilitate a smooth transition to the ICS and to update your supportive care skills. Following the lecture in the auditorium, the majority of participants suited up for Water Rescue Techniques, hands-on training involving assessment, supportive care and animal handling at Salt Pond.

    READY EXERCISER ONE: EXAMINING THE EFFICACY OF IMMERSIVE TECHNOLOGIES IN THE EXERCISE DOMAIN A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Jonathan M. Bird BSc, MSc, CSci Centre for Cognitive Neuroscience Division of Sport, Health and Exercise Sciences Department of Life Sciences College of Health and Life Sciences Brunel University London 2019 ii Abstract The present programme of research sought to examine the effects of audio-visual stimuli during exercise, using immersive, commercially available technologies. Three original studies were conducted using a range of settings (i.e., real-world, laboratory), methodologies (i.e., qualitative and quantitative), exercise modalities (i.e., gym workouts, cycle ergometry) and consumer products (e.g., music-video channels, virtual reality head-mounted displays) in order to explore the main research question from various perspectives. A substantive theory was proposed in Study 1 that sought to explain and predict the social process of exercising in the presence of a music-video channel. The model provides support for a three-stage process that commences with the content of the music-video channel. The second stage depicts a series of moderators that revolve around the core category, appraisal of appropriateness. Lastly, a range of effects pertaining to exercisers and facility staff are predicted. Study 2 sought to examine the influence of a range of audio-visual stimuli on cycle ergometer exercise at the ventilatory threshold. The findings indicated that a 360-degree video with music condition elicited the most positive affective valence, greatest perceived activation, most dissociative thoughts, and highest ratings of perceived enjoyment. Study 3 sought to veer towards greater ecological validity with the inclusion of a commercially available virtual reality-enabled cycle ergometer.

  • Water Power Technologies Office 2019 Peer Review Final Report
    (This page intentionally left blank) LETTER FROM THE DIRECTOR Dear Colleague: On behalf of the U.S. Department of Energy’s Water Power Technologies Office (WPTO), I am happy to release the 2019 WPTO Peer Review report. This report is the product of a comprehensive review of the Marine and Hydrokinetics (MHK) and Hydropower Programs, including evaluations of both programs’ strategies, as well as individual projects and new initiatives. The review covered 77 individual projects funded by the office, including 41 projects funded by the MHK Program and 36 by the Hydropower Program.These projects represent the majority of WPTO’s active portfolio between fiscal years (FY) 2017 and 2018, though some projects were funded and initiated as early as FY 2014, before WPTO was an independent office. The projects reviewed represent about $230 million in executed funding, which includes funds appropriated in prior fiscal years and non-federal cost share. WPTO is required to conduct an office-wide review every two years in accordance with departmental guidance; we in WPTO consider this an important responsibility and opportunity, as it is the most comprehensive mechanism that we have for gathering feedback on our programs and projects. We could not do our jobs without the help and input of our stakeholders, which is why the objectives in our office’s Outreach and Engagement Strategy are embedded in everything we do, including how we planned and executed this review. We were deliberate in planning this review to achieve the key goals outlined in the strategy: (1) demonstrate transparency, (2) elicit feedback, (3) disseminate results and tools developed through R&D, and (4) provide objective and accurate information to the public.
