The Power of Randomized Evaluations Module 1.2: a Randomized Evaluation from Start to Finish Module 1.1 the Power of Randomized Evaluations

چکیده
In 1994 I went with Michael Kremer to visit the family he had lived with for a year in rural Kenya.1 We met up with many of Michael’s old friends, including Paul Lipeyah, who told us of the work he was doing with International Child Support (ICS) Africa, a nongovernmental organization (NGO) helping government schools in Busia, a neighboring district in Kenya’s Western Province. Paul asked us what advice we might off er for improving the eff ectiveness of ICS programs. Could Michael help evaluate what they were doing? Michael suggested randomized evaluation: if ICS wanted to understand the impact of their programs, they could randomly choose the schools in which they worked and the order in which they phased in new programs.

Three Dimensional Transient Numerical Modeling of Temperature Distribution and Output Power in Photovoltaic Module
According to the effect of temperature on the output power of a photovoltaic module, this research tries to calculate the temperature distribution in a photovoltaic module by numerical solving of the energy balance equations. Therefore, its output power can be accurately predicted. For this purpose, several photovoltaic modules are modeled in detail in the COMSOL software. A new method for calc...

This research study employed a mixed-methods approach to investigate the test takers’ perceptions and anx- iety in relation to an English language proficiency test called Community English Program (CEP). This study also evaluated the direct and semi-direct modes for speaking module of this test. To this end, 300 Eng- lish as Foreign Language (EFL) students were recruited in the study as test ta...
متن کاملUniserial modules of generalized power series
Let R be a ring, M a right R-module and (S,≤) a strictly ordered monoid. In this paper we will show that if (S,≤) is a strictly ordered monoid satisfying the condition that 0 ≤ s for all s ∈ S, then the module [[MS,≤]] of generalized power series is a uniserial right [[RS,≤]] ]]-module if and only if M is a simple right R-module and S is a chain monoid.
متن کاملAnalysis of Temperature Effect on a Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaic Module Performance
In this paper, the effect of the cell-temperature on the performance of photovoltaic (PV) module is evaluated. The evaluation is based on a mathematical module (single diode equivalent circuit) and practically based on solar module tester (SMT). Solara®130W PV crystalline silicon module was used in this simulation. The SMT is able to supply a constant irradiance level (1000W/m2) or any other de...
متن کاملAnalysis of Photovoltaic Module Resistance Characteristics
Abstract: This paper proposes a new analysis method for photovoltaic (PV) modules. The main objectives are to obtain the resistance parameters of PV modules by adjusting I-V equation and voltage equation of diode and to find the relationship between resistance parameters and power. Firstly, values of serial resistance and parallel resistance at maximum power point are concluded. Secondly, the c...
