Preparatory Work about a GIS Manual for Local Governments

Selection criteria for preparatory object rotation in manual lifting actions.

Participants lifted a canister by its handle while balancing a ball on the lid. Experiment 1 allowed object rotation prior to lifting. A lifting comfort zone was measured by the variability in object orientation at lift; its size depended on the object mass and required task precision. The amount of prelift rotation correlated with the resulting change in lifting capability, as measured for dif...

Strategies for Local Governments to Promote Solar

A variety of strategies and programs can be used by local governments to promote distributed solar installation. These programs or goals can be attempted in tandem or in a stepwise fashion. First, a goal for solar should be set to provide an example of solar installation benefits to the community. Then, solar permitting should be improved to allow for less time and money spent in the permitting...

Preparatory work for C 3 line - list calculation

The goal of this dissertation is to study the infrared absorption spectrum of the C 3 (carbon three) molecule. In particular, the aim is to investigate its ground electronic state up to 12.500 cm −1 , as this affects the atmospheres of cool C-rich stars. The linear C 3 molecule shows very unusual properties for a linear molecule: a high degree of floppiness, no permanent dipole moment and a str...

Are African Governments Serious About Agriculture?

Using these four benchmarks, one can determine which governments are achieving or have achieved a specific target. Governments that demonstrate a consistent upward trend to‐ ward the target are more serious than those who display a stag‐ nant or divergent trend away from the target. The objective of this brief is to analyze available data on public agriculture expenditure in Africa—with a parti...
