Growing a Green Economy for All: From Green Jobs to Green Ownership
This Democracy Collaborative report provides the first comprehensive survey of community wealth building institutions in the green economy. Featuring ten cases, the report identifies how policy and philanthropy can build on these examples to create "green jobs you can own.
PET and P300 Relationships in Early Alzheimer\u27s Disease
The P300 (P3) wave of the auditory brain event-related potential was investigated in patients with probable Alzheimer\u27s disease to determine whether P300 latency discriminated these patients from controls and whether prolonged P300 latency correlated with rates of brain glucose metabolism as measured by Positron Emission Tomography. P300 latency was prolonged by more than 1.5 standard deviations from age expectancy in 14 of 18 patients, but none of 17 controls. In these subjects P300 latency was shown to be inversely correlated with relative metabolic rates of parietal and, to a lesser extent, temporal and frontal association areas, but not with subcortical areas
Comprehensive Determination of the Hinode/EIS Roll Angle
We present a new coalignment method for the EUV Imaging Spectrometer (EIS) on
board the Hinode spacecraft. In addition to the pointing offset and spacecraft
jitter, this method determines the roll angle of the instrument, which has
never been systematically measured, and is therefore usually not corrected. The
optimal pointing for EIS is computed by maximizing the cross-correlations of
the Fe XII 195.119 \r{A} line with images from the 193 \r{A} band of the
Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) on board the Solar Dynamics Observatory
(SDO). By coaligning 3336 rasters with high signal-to-noise ratio, we estimate
the rotation angle between EIS and AIA and explore the distribution of its
values. We report an average value of (-0.387 0.007)\deg. We also provide
a software implementation of this method that can be used to coalign any EIS
raster.Comment: Accepted for publication in Solar Physics, 11 pages, 7 figure
An annotated list of the Lepidoptera of Honduras
A biodiversity inventory of the Lepidoptera of Pico Bonito National Park and vicinity, in the Department of Atlantida of northern Honduras, was initiated in 2009 to obtain baseline data. We present a revised checklist of Honduran butterfly species (updated from the initial 1967 lists), as well as the first comprehensive list of Honduran moths. Our updated list includes 550 species of Papilionoidea, 311 Hesperioidea, and 1,441 moth species
