Executive Summary Overview Previously, Mills and Wiser [2012] found a decline in the marginal economic value of different variable generation (VG) technologies with increasing penetration levels. Economic value in this case is primarily based on the avoided costs form other non-renewable power plants in the power system including capital investment cost, variable fuel, and variable operations a...

The microstrip resonator technique is a convenient way to sensitively measure the temperature dependence of the magnetic penetration depth, n(T), in superconducting thin films. Because the method relies on measuring the resonant frequency of a microwave transmission line resonator, one can very precisely measure small changes in A( T). This technique can resolve changes in ,4 on the order of se...

‎for a given measure space $(x,{mathscr b},mu)$ we construct all measure spaces $(y,{mathscr c},lambda)$ in which $(x,{mathscr b},mu)$ is embeddable‎. ‎the construction is modeled on the ultrafilter construction of the stone--v{c}ech compactification of a completely regular topological space‎. ‎under certain conditions the construction simplifies‎. ‎examples are given when this simplification o...

Information technology (IT) penetration in the workforce is an important measure of the extent of IT or e-Government adoption in government organizations. Different state governments in the United States (U.S.) have achieved different levels of workforce IT penetration. This paper seeks to examine whether these differences may be explained as a result of disparities amongst state governments in...
