We report on the status of emittance tuning techniques at the CESR Test Accelerator (CesrTA). The CesrTA experimental program requires that we operate in a variety of machine lattices, each with the smallest possible emittance. We utilize high-bandwidth BPM electronics for fast, precision measurements of orbit, betatron phase, transverse coupling, and dispersion. Analysis of the data and implem...

Left-turn lanes at nonsignaiized intersections on two-lane interurban roads reduce the number of traffic interferences and increase the level of service for the through traffic. These improved conditions result from the opportunity turning vehicles have to decelerate and wait in a separate lane for a suitable crossing gap. Decreasing the number of interferences to through traffic reduces the nu...

Tilt back to turn left perating an eggbeater vertically creates a vortex, but a slight tilt makes fluid move across a bowl. now claim that a similar backward tilting of mouse cilia may create a flow that defines the left side of the embryo. Flow had already been established as a determinant of left–right asymmetry, at least in mice. Leftwards flow is created by a group of ‫ف‬ 30 cilia in the mo...

In his recent book Left Turn, Tim Groseclose concludes that, in a world without media bias, the average American voter would be positioned at around 25 on a 0–100 scale, where 0 is a right-wing Republican and 100 is a left-wing Democrat. In this world, a balanced media might include some TV networks promoting the view that abortion should be illegal under all circumstances and subject to crimin...

Left turn crashes can impact the safety of drivers due to speed and angle at which they occur. turns are specifically reported affect older more than other types crashes. This paper provides a review existing engineering countermeasures that have been evaluated improve driver left turns. Twentyeight studies on signal displays (protected turns, flashing yellow arrow, digital countdown timers), i...

In this paper we report on our work on a prototype route navigation dialogue system for use in a vehicle. The system delivers spoken turn-by-turn directions, and has been developed to accept naturally phrased navigation queries, as part of our overall effort to create an in-vehicle information system which delivers information as requested while placing minimal cognitive load on the driver.
