13. Butch, femme, or straight acting? Partner preferences of gay men and lesbians

Abstract

On average, gay men are somewhat feminine and lesbians somewhat masculine, but there is variation within each group. The authors examined the consequences of this variation for gay men's and lesbians' desirability as romantic partners. In 2 studies the authors analyzed personal advertisements. Homosexual people were more likely than heterosexual people to mention traits related to sex typicality and more likely to request sex-typical than sex-atypical partners. In 2 studies the authors assessed partner preferences directly. On average, gay men preferred men who described themselves as masculine rather than feminine, but this preference was weaker among men who rated themselves as relatively feminine. Lesbians preferred women who described themselves as feminine looking but did not discriminate against women calling themselves masculine acting. The authors discuss implications of the results for theories of sexual orientation and the adjustment of sex-atypical homosexual people.

Abstract

Low tier wireless loop systems have great potential for communications in developing countries lacking adequate telephone services, but the absence of cable plant necessary for interconnecting such systems could prevent their widespread deployment. Four radio relay interconnection options are discussed and the viability of each is assessed. It is concluded that the most economical alternative is the intra-cluster 1.9 GHz radio relay.

Abstract

Low-tier wireless systems are effective alternatives for delivering basic telephone services in developing nations. These systems can be rapidly deployed, involve minimal disruptive construction, and are cost-effective. The investment required for installing such systems in developing countries is about 200-500 dollars per subscriber, which is considerably less than that required for cable-based systems. The system allows for the existence of a competitive industry structure. System design constraints and parameters, and implications for policy makers and telephone carriers are presented.

16. 25a - Risk assessment of diesel engine exhaust emissions

Author

Hills, Alex

Abstract

As diesel engine exhaust emissions (DEEES) are a complex mixture of substances there has been little formal agreement on how exposures to them should be assessed. Several different monitoring and analysis methods have been developed, many relying on using a constituent of the exhaust emission as a surrogate or concentrating on either the particulate fraction or gaseous fraction only. In practice this means that results across monitoring surveys cannot be reliably correlated. This work is to propose a standard reference methodology for risk-based health assessments.

Abstract

Alascom has made it possible for the residents of Alaska and Magadan to communicate, after years of geographic and political separation. In 1989, Rossvyazinform signed an agreement with Alascom telecommunications, but the system was inadequate from the start. After establishing connection with Aurora 1 satellite, communications improved dramatically, and Alascom and Rossvyazinform have provided private line service to additional customers., For more than 30 years, the Cold War kept communication links between the U.S. and Russia frozen to a minimum. In the Arctic and sub-Arctic, an 'Ice Curtain' imposed a [...]

Abstract

CDPD was originally designed as a high-speed tool for supporting the Internet protocol. The Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, PA, has constructed a wireless infrastructure connected to the campus' wired network to test CDPD software being developed by university researchers. At present, the wireless system has managed to perform adequately. The research team hopes to eventually use a wireless LAN technology with a much higher speed., Unlike other mobile data services, such as Ardis and Ram Mobile Data, and modem-enabled analog cellular services, CDPD was designed specifically to support the Internet Protocol -- the IP in [...]

28. Visualising the Invisible: Displaying Building Resource-use Benchmarks in a 3D City Visualisation

Author

Donn, Michael, Hills, Alex Josephine, Donn, Michael, and Hills, Alex Josephine

Abstract

This thesis proposes a reinvention of the means of presenting statistical data about 3D urban environments. Conventional GIS use of 3D ’enhances’ hard to understand 2D maps with even harder-to-understand histograms of data. The goal is to demonstrate the means by which data on energy and water-use in buildings can be used to enhance familiar 3D interactive city environments and be made accessible to the widest possible audience. Ultimately, resource benchmarks and other related publicly available information about the built environment could be presented in this highly accessible form. All information would be database driven, so automatically updateable. From this basic platform, applications that allow people to compare their own private records with public norms are easily constructed: a world where a building owner can compare their energy records with benchmarks for similar buildings and take action to improve if necessary, or to advertise accomplishments. This study draws on data from the ‘BEES’ Building Energy End-use Study - a BRANZ research project documenting energy and water use in New Zealand commercial buildings. During the study a ‘Websearch’ survey was conducted, building a detailed picture of non-residential building stock in New Zealand with data collected on building typologies, characteristics and surroundings. A thorough research methodology was developed to ensure that high level data could be collected from 3,000 randomly selected buildings within the budget allocated for the project. The data was examined for quality, building characteristics and typology mix and a valuable layer of detail was added by inferring additional information from the basic Websearch dataset. Where sub-samples used in the BEES study were subject to refusal / survey participation rates, the level of potential bias in the mix of building typologies could be tested and allowances made. Energy and water use data collected for a random subset of the sample, could then be a

Abstract

Unlike the residential building stock, most countries have poor information on their non-domestic stock. This necessitates the use of other data sources. In the mid-1980s the (then) New Zealand Department of Valuation digitized its valuation records. This permitted the first analysis of an entire country's non-domestic buildings. A very long-tail probability density function was identified, with the largest 5% of buildings containing more than 40% of the floor space. This knowledge informed the development of research for understanding non-domestic buildings as well as underpinning the 1996 revision of the NZ Building Code Clause HI Energy Efficiency. More recently an analysis of valuation data has provided the Building Energy End-use Study (BEES) with a national sampling frame to examine energy and water end-uses in non-domestic buildings. The development of processes for collecting and analyzing data is described. Considerable changes in understanding of valuation data have occurred for documenting the non-domestic building stock. New online and geographic information sources can validate and improve building data. The use of such a database supports improved understanding of the changing nature of the building stock and potential intervention points, as well as harnessing regulatory and market forces.

Author

Hills, Alex

Abstract

The northwestern Alaskan village of Kivalina lies along the Chukchi Sea, about 85 miles above the Arctic Circle, in what appears to be a wasteland. For centuries, the people of Kivalina have subsisted on the whale, walrus, and seal they take from the sea and the carlbou and moose they hunt on land. Today such modern touches as frame houses are replacing sod dwellings in Kivalina, and the people enjoy modern radio- and television-broadcast service. They also have access to the nationwide telephone network that serves the rest of the United States.

You are part of a geological exploration team working in a remote area of Wyoming, and you have encountered a problem that you cannot solve by yourself. With a portable telephone unit, you try to reach a colleague in your company's Chicago branch. She is not in her office, but with a second call you reach her directly as she is driving east on Interstate 80 in western Pennsylvania. Through your telephone conversation, the two of you resolve the problem quickly and your work can then proceed.

The whine of the jet engines dropped in pitch as the pilot of the Alaska Airlines 727 throttled back and began the descent into Nome.
