Food Stamp Benefits and Childhood Poverty in the 1990s - Bog - Paperback

Food Stamp Benefits and Childhood Poverty in the 1990s - Bog - Paperback

In 2000, 8.8 million children received food stamps, making the Food Stamp Program a crucial component of the social safety net. Despite its importance, little research has examined the effect of food stamps on children's overall well-being. Using the Current Population Survey from 1989 to 2001, we consider the impact of food stamps on three measures of poverty-the headcount, the poverty gap, and the squared poverty gap. These measures portray the incidence, depth, and severity of poverty. We find..

Testing the Effectiveness of Mobile Home Weatherization Measures in a Controlled Environment - The Seri Cmfert Project - Bog - Paperback

Testing the Effectiveness of Mobile Home Weatherization Measures in a Controlled Environment - The Seri Cmfert Project - Bog - Paperback

For several years the Solar Energy Research Institute has been testing the effectiveness of mobile home weatherization measures. During the winter of 1988-89, several weatherization measures were thermally tested on three mobile homes under controlled conditions inside a large environmental enclosure. The effects of each weatherization measure on conduction losses, infiltration losses, and combined furnace and duct-delivered heat efficiency were monitored. The study demonstrated that cost-effective..

Baseline Testing of Ultracapacitors for the Next Generation Launch Technology (Nglt) Project - Bog af Dennis J Eichenberg - Paperback

Baseline Testing of Ultracapacitors for the Next Generation Launch Technology (Nglt) Project - Bog af Dennis J Eichenberg - Paperback

The NASA John H. Glenn Research Center initiated baseline testing of ultracapacitors for the Next Generation Launch Transportation (NGLT) project to obtain empirical data for determining the feasibility of using ultracapacitors for the project. There are large transient loads associated with NGLT that require either a very large primary energy source or an energy storage system. The primary power source used for these tests is a proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell. The energy storage system..

Country-Of-Origin Labeling - Theory and Observation - Bog af Barry Krissoff - Paperback

Country-Of-Origin Labeling - Theory and Observation - Bog af Barry Krissoff - Paperback

This report examines the economic rationale behind the various claims about the effects of mandatory country-of-origin labeling, thereby identifying the most likely outcomes. Profits motivate firms to innovate and introduce thousands of new food products each year to satisfy consumers' demand. Yet, food suppliers have generally not emphasized, advertised, or labeled food with U.S. country of origin. The infrequency of \Made in USA\ labels on food suggests suppliers do not believe domestic origin..

Gearbox Reliability Collaborative Gearbox 1 Failure Analysis Report - December 2010 - January 2011 - Bog - Paperback

Gearbox Reliability Collaborative Gearbox 1 Failure Analysis Report - December 2010 - January 2011 - Bog - Paperback

Unintended gearbox failures have a significant impact on the cost of wind farm operations. In 2007, NREL initiated the Gearbox Reliability Collaborative (GRC). The project combines analysis, field testing, dynamometer testing, condition monitoring, and the development and population of a gearbox failure database in a multi-pronged approach to determine why wind turbine gearboxes do not achieve their expected design life. The collaborative of manufacturers, owners, researchers, and consultants focuses..
