A second major outcome of this study was improvements to the UFAD implementation in the recently released EnergyPlus v3.1. These involved improvements in stratification modeling in interior zones, addition of perimeter zone stratification models, creation of a whole building template model, and user documentation to facilitate use of the new capabilities. Finally, the effectiveness of various demand response actions such as raising the room setpoint temperature and reducing internal lighting and equipment loads was evaluated. Raising the setpoint temperature was found to be the most effective measure to reduce peak demand.","PeriodicalId":447111,"journal":{"name":"People, not Psychiatry","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127871449","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As artists and educators, through our research and art-making processes, we can reduce our perceptual needs, learned limitations, and historic (un)truths. We can reduce our acculturated myopia. Sloan (2009) noted that “The benefits of arts instruction cannot be measured by standardized tests, but students can certainly use the skills they gain in areas outside of the arts” . If we relax our predispositions about ubiquitous assessment standards, frequent administrative limitations, and frustrations with government oversights, we can create an environment conducive to learning that develops and enhances individual empowerment that we all seek as artists, educators, and humans. Let’s not embrace newness for the sake of newness but embrace newness because it provides a broad, sensuous, and provocative landscape for undiscovered possibilities. As Dass (1985) reminds us, the only thing a teacher can do is create an environment conducive to learning. We can support their future. We can build bridges together. ▪ يف 15 رياني 2021 تهجو ، هوعد ريرحتلا ةئيه ا ديسلل لأ روتكدلا ذاتس سيلاو فيتس ، ذاتسأ تايلاولاب ،يروسيم ةيلاو ةعماجب ةينفلا ةيبرتلا","PeriodicalId":447111,"journal":{"name":"People, not Psychiatry","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122846030","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Leaf length, maximum width, area, and dry mass data wen obtained at 2-wk intervals from plants grown in 75-L pots. Pots contained 85 kg of acidic, Pdeficient Betis sand (sandy, sili- cious, thennic Psrmmentic Paleustalf) and were treated with four P levels and two water treatments (stressed and nonstressed). Individ- ual kaf uer was estimated nondestndively with the following quatiotls: Indivlduai leaf area and whole plant leaf area were calculated from leaf dry mass by the following linear and nonlinear equations: Residual errors indicated that the nonlinear equation wm more ec- curate for area estimation of small leaves (50.20 g), and that I d area data were heleroscedastic. Leaf dry mass was also used to cal- culate SLA by the nonlinear equation SLA = 176.7 X Loaf ~ n n s s ~ ~ ' ' ~ (R' - 0.918), which gave excellent fit to experimental data independent of harvest date, P level and watering treatment. Our results demonstrate that pearl millet leaf arm and SLA can be accurately estimated and easily simulated from simple regression equations.","PeriodicalId":447111,"journal":{"name":"People, not Psychiatry","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126952716","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
