More research on estimation

A little over two years ago I set out to better understand the art of time estimation, specifically time estimation for software development work. This was initially motivated by a request from Jon Jagger to support two assertions I claimed were “proven by research.” I read and reviewed a number of academic studies on estimation and posted the results online see http: //www.allankelly.net/writi...

Editorial More on Aging Research

I n my editorial in the April 2009 issue of JAAA I noted the interesting study, ‘‘Speech Recognition and Temporal Processing in Middle-Aged Women,’’ by Karen S. Helfer and Megan Vargo of the University of Massachusetts Amherst and the University of Pittsburgh, respectively,. The authors show that, in comparison with a young group, middle-aged women demonstrated apparent aging effects on speech ...

More about Thermosyphone Rankine Cycle Performance Enhancement (RESEARCH NOTE)

The heat pipe applications have been coupled with the renewable energy such as solar energy, waste heat and geothermal energy. Thermosyphon Rankine Cycle (TRC) is a vertical wickless heat pipe engine. In this engine, the turbine is installed between the insulated section and a condenser section of thermosyphon. The mechanical energy developed by the turbine can be converted to electricity, by d...

Much more research needed on injury prevention.

Do we need more research on neurolathyrism

However, several basic questions relating to neurolathyrism still remain unanswered. We are unable to convince several governments to ban the cultivation of the pulse and to take on a more serious approach to introducing the low toxin varieties. Meanwhile, farmers continue to gro...
