Lady Golfers edge Cumberland 107-108
August 4, 2014
Crossville, TN — Rhea County Golf traveled up to Lake Tansi Golf Course on Monday for a match with the Cumberland County High School Jets. The teams had played last week at the Dayton Golf and Country Club with a win by the Girls and a loss by the Boys. On Monday the results were the same as the Girls evened their record to 2-2 and the Boys fell to 0-4.
For the Girls, it was # 2 player Kiley Green who carded the low score with a 52 and C.J. Sneed stepped up with a 55 for the second lowest score for the Lady Eagles. The 107 by the Lady Eagles gave them a slim 107-108 win. Burgess and Whittenburg each shot 54 to lead Cumberland. The Boys team shot poorly and lost 347 to 335. Spencer Robinson came in with an 83 to lead the Eagles while the leaders for Cumberland County, Graham and Shelton came in with 81 each.

With willingness, Restorative Yoga can be accessed by most any practitioner, no matter their fitness or experience level.
Yoga teachers and health care providers may be interested in learning and teaching Restorative Yoga for many reasons, among them:
- Restorative yoga and meditation is safe for all stages of life and can be comfortably adapted for most physiques;
- Restorative Yoga is a loving and kind practice, which appeals to compassionate care providers because it is so nurturing to offer and to receive;
- Teachers can physically sustain teaching these gentler practices over a long career;

A Crucial Fact about the Brain Is Missing When We Address the Problem of Violence
Many people are quite sure of what's needed after a tragedy, yet there is a lot of disagreement. How can this be? It's all about how the brain can form widely different opinions inside different people.
David Eagleman is a neuroscientist and a New York Times bestselling author. He directs the Laboratory for Perception and Action at the Baylor College of Medicine, where he also directs the Initiative on Neuroscience and Law. He is best known for his work on time perception, brain plasticity, synesthesia, and neurolaw.
He is the writer and presenter of the PBS epic series, The Brain with David Eagleman, and the author of the companion book, The Brain: The Story of You.
Beyond his 100+ academic publications, he has published many popular books. His bestselling book Incognito: The Secret Lives of the Brain, explores the neuroscience "under the hood" of the conscious mind: all the aspects of neural function to which we have no awareness or access. His work of fiction, SUM, is an international bestseller published in 28 languages and turned into two operas. Why the Net Matters examines what the advent of the internet means on the timescale of civilizations. The award-winning Wednesday is Indigo Blue explores the neurological condition of synesthesia, in which the senses are blended.
Eagleman is a TED speaker, a Guggenheim Fellow, a winner of the McGovern Award for Excellence in Biomedical Communication, a Next Generation Texas Fellow, Vice-Chair on the World Economic Forum's Global Agenda Council on Neuroscience & Behaviour, a research fellow in the Institute for Ethics and Emerging Technologies, Chief Scientific Advisor for the Mind Science Foundation, and a board member of The Long Now Foundation. He has served as an academic editor for several scientific journals. He was named Science Educator of the Year by the Society for Neuroscience, and was featured as one of the Brightest Idea Guys by Italy's Style magazine. He is founder of the company BrainCheck and the cofounder of the company NeoSensory. He was the scientific advisor for the television drama Perception, and has been profiled on the Colbert Report, NOVA Science Now, the New Yorker, CNN's Next List, and many other venues. He appears regularly on radio and television to discuss literature and science.
David Eagleman: When it comes to what to do about mass shooting there's a variety of opinions and I think what this represents is the variety that people have on the inside. What I mean is people are very different. I'm talking about the decision-makers now, not the mass shooters. People are very different on the inside and who you are and what you believe about the world comes about as a confluence of your genetics and your environment. So the predispositions you come to the table with mixed with every experience you have from your family of origin to your culture, your neighborhood, your generation that you drop into. As a result, brains are all very different. They're as unique as fingerprints. So when it comes to what to do about a mass shooting, there's no surprise that you have completely different opinions.
On the one hand, you have people who say, "Look, let's just get rid of all weapons," and on the other hand, on the other hand of the spectrum you have people who say, "Look, let's make sure that everybody's armed because it's impossible to get rid of all of the weapons. So let's do a mutually assured destruction approach." And these are all, you know, valid in some way. I mean it's understandable why different people have different opinions about what to do. One of the things that I follow as a neuroscientist whenever there's a mass shooting is the discussion that happens. People will often throw around words like, "Well the guy's a psycho." Now you may know there's no such thing as a psycho. That's a meaningless term. What the commentator presumably means is either this person has a psychosis, something like schizophrenia where they have a disorder of cognition, or they mean this person is a psychopath which is not a disorder of cognition. Instead psychopathy is about having no empathy towards other people, not caring at all about other people, seeing other people as objects to get around. They're also known as sociopaths. So somebody can have a psychosis or somebody can have a psychopathy or sociopathy and these are completely different things. An understanding of these things in the public dialogue I think would be very important; every time there's a mass shooting there are all sorts of commentators that come out and say things like well I heard he had Asperger's or I heard he had ADHD or I heard that he wrote dark poetry, which is, of course, true of most young teenagers. So a better understanding of the vocabulary and what are the issues that come along with these different things is something that I try to disseminate through my work in neuroscience and law.
Think of all the labels that get tossed around whenever there's a mass shooting or terrorist attack. "Psycho" and "sociopath," "ADHD" and "Aspergers": Often conditions people don't fully understand, yet are still quick to toss around like a smoking gun. David Eagleman, neuroscientist and host/author of PBS' The Brain, sheds light on how the brain forms different opinions inside of each of us and how we might use that information to have more informed discussions with each other.

An explanation of positive consequences for good classroom behavior and negative consequences for bad classroom behavior that help create a peaceful classroom environment.
Here is the link to read this correlating article:
- Three classroom rules for all grade levels
Positive consequences for good behavior
Teacher: It is now time to talk about Consequences. We'll talk about the Positive Consequences first.
Here are some of the positive consequences for good behavior.
You get a good grade as ___ percent of your grade is based on your behavior.
(Please note that I was a Conflict Resolution Teacher for five years in an East Tennessee Middle School. Since that class was made up of largely stories, role-plays, and discussion questions, behavior choices counted for 60% of their grade. Later, when I taught seventh-grade English for two years, behavior choices counted for 20% of their grade. Needless to say, adjust these explanations to fit your classroom situation. These are simply some suggestions that might prove to help your classroom environment to be more peaceful and harmonious.)
- We have a pleasant class atmosphere.
- This room is a safe zone from put-downs.
- Everybody feels comfortable with each other.
- We are able to learn a lot of positive life skills.
Teacher explanation of the process called 'Communication Skills Time'
Note to Teacher: The poster example shown in the article picture and in the demonstration role-play could be hung on your magnetic white board. With dry erase markers, handwrite in whatever time a class may lose during the week every time three or more kids do that "chatty thing." The time that is left is the amount of "Communication Skills Time" (Free Time) they will have the last part of Friday for games, talking, homework, reading books or magazines, etc.
Teacher: Another positive consequence for good behavior is that on each Friday, toward the end of the period, we will have a ten-minute period that I call "Communication Skills Time." In other words, "Friday Free Time."
Note to Teacher: Point to the "Communication Skills Time" poster.
Teacher: During Friday Free Time, you can play games, you can move around the room, you can talk quietly with your friends, you can work on homework, you can read or draw or write notes, you can sleep, and so forth.
There is a way for that ten minutes to be shorter and there is a way for that ten minutes to be longer.
The way it can be shorter is that every time that three (3) or more people do that 'chatty thing', I will deduct 30 seconds off that ten minutes. On Friday, the 'Friday Free Time] will be whatever time there is left of that ten minutes.
Here is how it can be longer. On Friday, let's say that we get to the end of a story or a role-play or a set of discussion questions, and we are at a really good stopping point. On every class period, we simply pick up where we left off the previous day, as I like to make really good use of every minute that we have together. But on Friday, let's say that we are at a really good stopping point, like I mentioned before. I look up at the clock and see that we have as much as 12, 15, or 20 minutes left of the class period. Then I look over to the board where I have the "Communication Skills Time" poster located. If I see that you never did that "chatty thing" during the week and we are at that good stopping point; then no promises, but it is likely that I will give you some reward time. Just so you know, I love to give that reward time. It's a break for you. It's a break for me. It's a WIN-WIN situation. So you just need to make it easy for me to give you that reward time by never doing that "chatty thing" during the week.
Teacher explanation of negative consequences for bad behavior
Teacher: It is now time to talk about the Negative Consequences.
For your convenience, click on the following link to print a copy of the Behavior Chart.
- Please click: Behavior Chart
Please note: View the slideshow role-play or download the role-play to see an example of how the behavior chart works.
Teacher: Right now, you all have a 100% 'Behavior Grade'. Every time you get your name written down on the Behavior Clipboard, your 'Behavior Grade' goes down by 1 point: 99%, 98%, 97%, and so forth.
Whenever and if ever you get your name written down on the Behavior Clipboard for the sixth time, there are several consequences that will happen:
- Your 'Behavior Grade' is now 94%.
- You get a phone call home to your Parent or Guardian.
- I will fill out a Pink Slip that will be turned into our Assistant Principal that might affect any incentive field trips you go on.
- You get assigned to serve 1 hour of D-Hall (after school detention) or you get assigned to serve one day in I.A.P. (our In School Alternate Program).
The next time a pink slip happens is when you get your name written down on the Behavior Clipboard 15 times. Now the Consequences are:
- Your 'Behavior Grade' is now 85%.
- You get another phone call home to your Parent or Guardian.
- You get another Pink Slip to the office.
- You serve another day of I.A.P.
The last time a Pink Slip happens is when and if you ever get your name on the Behavior Clipboard 30 times. The consequence is your 'Behavior Grade' is now 'D-' or 70%. You will also have a MAJOR VISIT TO THE OFFICE. I'm not sure what the consequence is as I've never had a student do this, but I imagine it would be getting suspended for a number of days and a Parent Conference.
More about the 'Behavior Grade'
Teacher: Here is how I calculate your 'Behavior Grade'.
As I've said before, since almost everything that we do in this class involves oral-speaking of some type, your 'Behavior Grade' is worth 60% of your grade.
You start the quarter out with a 100% 'Behavior Grade'. As long as you never get your name written down on the Behavior Clipboard for the whole quarter, 60% of your grade will continue to be 100%.
Like I mentioned before, each time you get your name written down on the Behavior Clipboard, your score goes down one percentage point. So, if you got your name written down once, you would have a 99% 'Behavior Grade'. If you got your name written down 5 times, you would have a 95% 'Behavior Grade'. If you got your name written down ten times, you would have a 90% 'Behavior Grade' and so forth.
Once you lose a point due to inappropriate behavior, that point never can be added back in.
At the end of each day, I will total up the number of points you might have lost during that class period. That number will be written in the left-hand column of the Behavior Clipboard.
At the end of the week, I will total up your score for the entire week and write that on the following page of the Behavior Clipboard. There will be one of those pages for each week that we are together. Whatever your score is so far for the entire quarter is what I write in my grade book as your current 'Behavior Grade'. If you have not gotten your name written down on the Behavior Clipboard at all, I will write in 100% as your current 'Behavior Grade'.
Elect Class Recorders
Teacher: It is time to elect three Class Recorders. These are the people who will write the names down on the Behavior Clipboard for me. These three people will take turns every third day writing down the names for me when someone chooses to break one of our rules.
To be a Class Recorder, you need to be able to:
- Print neatly
- Write small as the space is very small
- Behave responsibly
- Don't doodle on this page as this is what I show parents during Parent-Teacher Conferences.
- Understand that if you break a rule on the day that you are Class Recorder, you will be honest about writing your own name down
New Class Recorders will be elected at Midterm time to give other students this opportunity.
Please understand that a Class Recorder does not get to play police person. He or she will only write names down if I request that he or she does so.
Anybody who is interested in being Class Recorder, please raise your hand.
Note to Teacher: Hold Class Elections. I let the class choose the students by majority vote.
Additional Note to the Teacher: I found having a Classroom Recorder was extremely useful so that I was not taking any classroom time away from our academics. It also helps eliminate that power play and blame game if you make certain you calmly ask the classroom recorder to put that student's name down on the behavior clipboard rather than using one of those harsh teacher voices like you might have heard on a Charlie Brown cartoon.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Psalm 5:3
09.08.16 | |
Thursday, September 8, 2016
The Psalmist David describes how God listens to the prayers of His followers.
Psalm 5:3 In the morning, Lord, You hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait expectantly. (NIV)
For Old Testament David, each day naturally began with prayer! After all, no one but God knows what a day will hold. When David says, "I will lay my requests before You" he's not talking about praying in some general way to "bless all the missionaries and meet my needs today". It's the kind of thoughtful, intentional effort the Old Testament priests put into preparing a sacrificial offering to God.
For example, the U.S. Senate Chaplain reads the prayer he gives at the start of every session of the Senate. The very process of writing out the prayer forces him to choose each word carefully. Doesn't it make sense to ask God specifically to deal with the day's events, worshipping Him for His greatness and thanking Him for His answers? The Bible says, "You have not because you ask not." The wonder of it all is that the God of Creation -- listens!

Rural districts would be frozen at fiscal 2020 funding levels until the amount they receive under the new funding formula matches what they're currently getting.
Search results for:
The past week in Carson City taught us that you can't promise the world without the tools to deliver. And so far, Nevada lawmakers don't have the funds to fix public education.
It's been nine weeks since the start of the 2019 legislative session and we've heard many bright ideas for improving public education. But we haven't addressed the elephant in the room — money.
For the first time in years, many parents, teachers and administrators in the Clark County School District are preparing to make a unified push for adequate education funding during the 2019 legislative session.
Recent Clark County School District meetings on a gender-diverse policy drew big crowds, but public discussions of the superintendent search or the recent budget deficit were sparsely attended.
Families can now use 529 plans to pay for private K-12 tuition, but changes in the financing of bonds and the increase in the standard deduction could cost school districts.
Through most of 2017, the size of the deficit and its impact on jobs were moving targets. Now that the School Board closed the roughly $62 million hole, it's simply a sad chapter that further eroded trust in Nevada's education system.
Lawsuits, buyouts, silence leave future of embattled health-care provider for Clark County School District teachers and other staff in doubt.
Schools document more cases of students having suicidal thoughts and psychologist says younger kids also seem susceptible.
While the Clark County School District is launching a national search for a successor to retiring superintendent, locals who may be jockeying for the position are already generating considerable discussion.

Father-daughter and mother-son breeding... I would like to know what the big deal is...
The two previous answerers failed to check the category: Pets & Animals.
The answer is because each time an animal is born it inherits both the good and bad mutations that exist in its parents. By inbreeding you double the chances of the negative mutations becoming predominant in the offspring. This is what causes species to become extinct -- they get locked into a confined area and start inbreeding until the negative mutations cause them to die off.
That's why zoos bring in animals temporarily from other zoos to breed -- to prevent the blood lines from becoming weak.
Welcome to Fun Advice!
Simply a Rose to brighten your day,
And maybe lessen the cares in your way;
And also, too, to help you to know,
That in knowing you, many others grow!
well its really that when you are born you get trait's from your parents and some can lead to physical and mental deformities. but they don't have enough of a dominant effect. but since you and your parent has the same trait you double the chance of having your children with a deformity

aspects of the research topic are addressed, such as problem definition,
research approach, theoretical framework, research goal, research
questions, methods, milestones, scientific and societal relevance and
target group. Also, data collection, processing and analysis, validity
criteria and last but not least ethical considerations are covered.
The student becomes acquainted with the context of research financing,
and the financing requirements of similar research. Due to the
in words of the formats of funding agencies,one of the main challenges
is to write your proposal within
these constraints. This implies that you have to identify the essential
aspects of the proposal which are both scientific informative and will
convince critical review boards to select you proposal for funding, i.e.
to find formulations that address methodological excellence, urgency
and originality. During the course you will receive individual feedback
by the research staff and your peers on the drafts versions. Although
the final grant research proposal justifies a 4 year PhD project, at the
same time it will put your research in perspective for the Master's

Minopen is the local analog (generic) of more famous drug Minocin that has the same active substance (ingredient) and in result the same therapeutic effect. The main difference is that Minopen is registered by a small local pharmaceutical company. The presence of the same active substance guarantees an identical pharmaceutical (therapeutic) effect on the body.
It is possible to buy Minopen only in the pharmacies of the country where it is produced. With us, you can buy its more famous analog Minocin, which is approved by the FDA and is sold worldwide. The same active substance guarantees the identity of the drugs and the identity of the pharmaceutical properties (they have only different names and packaging, in which they are sold).

Minopen is used for treating certain infections. It may also be used with other medicines to treat severe acne. Minopen is a tetracycline antibiotic. It works by slowing the growth of certain bacteria and allowing the body's immune system to kill them.
Use Minopen as directed by your doctor.
- Some brands of Minopen may be taken with food. Others should be taken on an empty stomach. Check with your doctor or pharmacist about how to take your brand of Minopen.
- Some brands of Minopen must be swallowed whole. Check with your doctor or pharmacist to see if your medicine is a brand that must be swallowed whole.
- Take Minopen by mouth with or without food.
- Take Minopen with a full glass of water (8 oz/240 mL). Do not lie down for 30 minutes after taking Minopen.
- If you also take bismuth salts (eg, bismuth subsalicylate), calcium salts (eg, calcium carbonate), colestipol, iron salts (eg, iron sulfate), magnesium, urinary alkalinizers (eg, daily antacids), sucralfate, vitamins/minerals, quinapril, didanosine, or zinc salts (eg, zinc sulfate), do not take them within 2 to 3 hours before or after taking Minopen. Check with your doctor if you have questions.
- To clear up your infection completely, take Minopen for the full course of treatment. Keep taking it even if you feel better in a few days.
- Minopen works best if it is taken at the same time each day.
- If you miss a dose of Minopen, take it as soon as possible. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not take 2 doses at once.
Ask your health care provider any questions you may have about how to use Minopen.
Store Minopen at room temperature, between 68 and 77 degrees F (20 and 25 degrees C), in a tightly closed, light-resistant container. Store away from heat, moisture, and light. Do not store in the bathroom. Keep Minopen out of the reach of children and away from pets.
Active Ingredient: Minocycline hydrochloride.
Do NOT use Minopen if:
- you are allergic to any ingredient in Minopen
- you are taking acitretin, qisotretinoin, methoxyflurane, or a penicillin.
Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.
Some medical conditions may interact with Minopen. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have any medical conditions, especially if any of the following apply to you:
- if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding
- if you are taking any prescription or nonprescription medicine, herbal preparation, or dietary supplement
- if you have allergies to medicines, foods, or other substances
- if you have kidney problems
- if you have an autoimmune disorder (eg, lupus).
Some medicines may interact with Minopen. Tell your health care provider if you are taking any other medicines, especially any of the following:
- Aluminum salts (eg, carbonate) or cimetidine because they may decrease Minopen's effectiveness
- Acitretin, anticoagulants (eg, warfarin), digoxin, ergot alkaloids (eg, ergotamine), insulin, isotretinoin, methotrexate, methoxyflurane, or theophyllines because the risk of their side effects may be increased by Minopen
- Live oral typhoid vaccine, oral contraceptives (birth control pills), or penicillins because their effectiveness may be decreased by Minopen.
This may not be a complete list of all interactions that may occur. Ask your health care provider if Minopen may interact with other medicines that you take. Check with your health care provider before you start, stop, or change the dose of any medicine.
Important safety information:
- Minopen may cause drowsiness, dizziness, or lightheadedness. These effects may be worse if you take it with alcohol or certain medicines. Use Minopen with caution. Do not drive or perform other possible unsafe tasks until you know how you react to it.
- Minopen may cause you to become sunburned more easily. Avoid the sun, sunlamps, or tanning booths until you know how you react to Minopen. Use a sunscreen or wear protective clothing if you must be outside for more than a short time.
- Long-term or repeated use of Minopen may cause a second infection. Tell your doctor if signs of a second infection occur. Your medicine may need to be changed to treat this.
- Minopen only works against bacteria; it does not treat viral infections (eg, the common cold).
- Mild diarrhea is common with antibiotic use. However, a more serious form of diarrhea (pseudomembranous colitis) may rarely occur. This may develop while you use the antibiotic or within several months after you stop using it. Contact your doctor right away if stomach pain or cramps, severe diarrhea, or bloody stools occur. Do not treat diarrhea without first checking with your doctor.
- Tell your doctor or dentist that you take Minopen before you receive any medical or dental care, emergency care, or surgery.
- Be sure to use Minopen for the full course of treatment. If you do not, the medicine may not clear up your infection completely. The bacteria could also become less sensitive to this or other medicines. This could make the infection harder to treat in the future.
- Hormonal birth control (eg, birth control pills) may not work as well while you are using Minopen. To prevent pregnancy, use an extra form of birth control (eg, condoms).
- Lab tests may be performed while you use Minopen. These tests may be used to monitor your condition or check for side effects. Be sure to keep all doctor and lab appointments.
- Use Minopen with caution in the elderly; they may be more sensitive to its effects.
- Use Minopen with extreme caution in children younger 10 years who have diarrhea or an infection of the stomach or bowel.
- Minopen should not be used in children younger than 8 years old; safety and effectiveness in these children have not been confirmed. Using Minopen in children younger than 8 years old or in women during the last half of pregnancy may cause a permanent change in the tooth coloring of the child.
- Pregnancy and breast-feeding: Minopen has been shown to cause harm to the fetus. If you think you may be pregnant, contact your doctor. You will need to discuss the benefits and risks of using Minopen while you are pregnant. Minopen is found in breast milk. Do not breastfeed while taking Minopen.

Research Triangle Institute
Novel Non-Aqueous CO2 Solvents and Capture Process with Substantially Reduced Energy Penalties
Research Triangle Institute (RTI) is developing a solvent and process that could significantly reduce the temperature associated with regenerating solvent and CO2 captured from the exhaust gas of coal-fired power plants. Traditional CO2 removal processes using water-based solvents require significant amount of steam from power plants in order to regenerate the solvent so it can be reused after each reaction. RTI's solvents can be better at absorbing CO2 than many water-based solvents, and are regenerated at lower temperatures using less steam. Thus, industrial heat that is normally too cool to re-use can be deployed for regeneration, rather than using high-value steam. This saves the power plant money, which results in increased cost savings for consumers.
Research Triangle Institute
High Operating Temperature Transfer and Storage (HOTTS) System for Light Metal Production
Research Triangle Institute (RTI) is developing a high-quality concentrating solar thermal energy transport and storage system for use in light metals manufacturing. A challenge with integrating renewable energy into light metals manufacturing has been the need for large quantities of very high temperature heat. RTI's technology overcomes this challenge with a specialized heat transfer powder. This powder can be heated to temperatures of 1100 degrees Celsius with concentrating solar thermal energy, some 400 degrees Celsius higher than conventional solutions. Because the heat transfer fluid can also store thermal energy, metal manufacturing plants can continue to operate even when the sun is not shining. RTI will also develop advanced materials that will protect the system's components from the accelerated degradation experienced at these high operating temperatures. This technology will enable constant, high-temperature operation of the light metals production process with reduced CO2 emissions.
Ricardo, Inc.
Reducing Automotive CAPEX Entry Barriers through Design, Manufacturing and Materials
Ricardo will develop a detailed cost model for 10 key automotive components (e.g. chassis, powertrain, controls, etc.), analyzing the investment barriers at production volumes. Prior studies of innovative manufacturing processes and lightweight materials have used differing cost analysis assumptions, which makes comparison of these individual studies difficult. The backbone of the project will be a detailed economic model built on a set of common assumptions that will allow the root cause of cost barriers to be identified. The model will then evaluate emerging alternative manufacturing techniques to determine how they might reduce or remove these barriers. This model will utilize a consistent set of assumptions, allowing for an accurate comparison of potential manufacturing techniques. If successful, this cost model will enable private-sector firms to make informed investment decisions, increasing the deployment of innovative vehicle technologies and saving the average consumer money.
Robert Bosch, LLC
Advanced Battery Management System
Robert Bosch is developing battery monitoring and control software to improve the capacity, safety, and charge rate of electric vehicle batteries. Conventional methods for preventing premature aging and failures in electric vehicle batteries involve expensive and heavy overdesign of the battery and tend to result in inefficient use of available battery capacity. Bosch would increase usable capacity and enhance charging rates by improving the ability to estimate battery health in real-time, to predict and manage the impact of charge and discharge cycles on battery health, and to minimize battery degradation.
Rutgers University
Microbial Curing of Cement for Energy Applications
Rutgers University, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, and the University of Arizona will develop a new hardening method for C3 to address thickness. C3 synthesis currently relies on externally-introduced carbon dioxide for solidification. This program will use microbes mixed into the C3 prior to curing to produce carbon dioxide internally for solidification. This microbial-cured C3 is expected to last longer than OPC at the same thickness, which will reduce the need for concrete repair and replacement. This in turn reduces energy consumption, carbon dioxide emissions, and costs associated with concrete-based projects.
Saint-Gobain Ceramics and Plastics, Inc.
Oxidation Resistant High Temperature Ceramics for Solar Thermal Reactors and Other High Temperature Energy Systems
Saint-Gobain Ceramics & Plastics is conducting early-stage research to extend operating temperatures of industrial ceramics in steam-containing atmospheres up to 1,500 °C. Materials that are able to adequately withstand these punishing conditions are needed to create durable solar fuel reactors. The most attractive material based on high-temperature strength and thermal shock resistance is sintered (the process of compacting solid material without melting it) silicon carbide (SiC). However, the highly reactive H2O/H2/CO/CO2 atmosphere within a solar reactor causes most industrial ceramics, including SiC, to degrade at temperatures above 1,200 °C. At those temperatures volatile reaction products are formed, which continually eat away at the integrity of the reactor walls. The Saint-Gobain team is conducting research along three lines of inquiry: 1) Creating high-temperature coatings for the SiC material; 2) Creating "self-healing" SiC surfaces which are created via an oxidation reaction on an ongoing basis as the surface layer is damaged; and 3) Testing alternative ceramic materials which could be more robust. The results of the three lines of inquiry will be evaluated based on stability modeling and thermal cycling testing (i.e. repeatedly heating and cooling the materials) under simulated conditions. As an ARPA-E IDEAS project, this research is at a very early stage. If successful, the technology could potentially result in significant energy and cost savings to the U.S. economy by allowing liquid transportation fuel to be produced from water and carbon dioxide from the air via solar energy instead of conventional sources. In addition SiC materials with enhanced oxidation resistance could be applied to vessels and components across many industrial, thermal, chemical, and petrochemical processes.
Sandia National Laboratory
ARC-SAFE: Accelerated Response Semiconducting Contactors and Surge Attenuation For DC Electrical systems
ARC-SAFE: Accelerated Response Semiconducting Contactors and Surge Attenuation for DC Electrical systems
Sandia National Laboratories will develop a solid-state circuit breaker for medium to high voltage applications based on a gallium nitride (GaN) optically triggered, photoconductive semiconductor switch (PCSS). During normal operation, the current will flow through high-performance commercial silicon carbide (SiC) devices to achieve high efficiency. When a fault occurs, the fast-response GaN PCSS will be used to break the current. The concept builds on Sandia's knowledge of optically triggered GaN devices, as well as the team's experience in circuit design for MV applications. The GaN PCSS will enable high-voltage operation, potentially scalable from 1 to 100 kV, while achieving superior electrical isolation due to the optical triggering approach. This technology could contribute to more widespread adoption of MVDC power distribution across the grid.
Sandia National Laboratory
Hybrid Switched Capacitor Circuit Development for Exploitation of GaN Diodes in High Gain Step-Up Converters (Hy-GaiN)
Sandia National Laboratories will develop a prototype DC-DC converter in a modular, scalable, mass-producible format that is capable of 10kW or greater and could fit onto a single circuit board. Inefficiency and construction costs associated with AC distribution/transmission and DC-AC conversion are motivating many to consider direct connection of PV to DC distribution (and even DC transmission) circuits. The prototype proposed in this project would enable PV panels to be connected to a medium-to-high voltage DC distribution circuit using a power converter about the size of an average textbook. The team will demonstrate a high-voltage, high-power density, hybrid switched-capacitor power conversion circuit that relies on the concurrent use of silicon carbide (SiC) active switches and leading-edge, 1200V rated, vertical gallium nitride (GaN) diodes. Both SiC and GaN have individually led to improvements in converter performance that permits higher switching frequencies, blocking voltages, and operating temperatures. The team plans to exploit the use of SiC switches coupled with GaN diodes, utilizing the benefits of both materials to achieve improved power density and better performance. These devices would enable improved efficiency and small size, which would reduce assembly, transportation, and installation costs. The proposed circuit topology would be scalable to 100s of kW and 10s of kV, enabling a whole string of modules in a PV plant to be connected to a DC distribution circuit through a converter of about the size of a midsize microwave oven. The converter can be applied to other renewable sources, but in particular, this technology could greatly accelerate the adoption of PV onto the grid by enabling cheaper and more efficient medium voltage and high voltage DC distribution networks.
Sandia National Laboratory
High Voltage Re-grown GaN P-N Diodes Enabled by Defect and Doping Control
Vertical transistors based on bulk gallium nitride (GaN) have emerged as promising candidates for future high efficiency, high power applications. However, they have been plagued by poor electrical performance attributed to the existing selective doping processes. Sandia National Laboratories will develop patterned epitaxial regrowth of GaN as a selective area doping processes to fabricate diodes with electronic performance equivalent to as-grown state-of-the-art GaN diodes. The team's research will provide a better understanding of which particular defects resulting from impurities and etch damage during the epitaxial regrowth process limit device performance, how those defects specifically impact the junction electronic properties, and ultimately how to control and mitigate the defects. The improved mechanistic understanding developed under the project will help the team design specific approaches to controlling impurity contamination and defect incorporation at regrowth interfaces and include development of in-chamber cleans and regrowth initiation processes to recover a high-quality epitaxial surfaces immediately prior to crystal regrowth.

20 kV Gallium Nitride pn Diode Electro-Magnetic Pulse Arrestor for Grid Reliability
Sandia National Laboratory
Multi-Modal Monitoring of Plant Roots for Drought & Heat Tolerance in the US Southwest
Sandia National Laboratories will develop novel, field-deployable sensor technologies for monitoring soil, root, and plant systems. First, the team will develop microneedles similar and shape and function to hypodermic needles used in transdermal drug delivery and wearable sensors. The minimally invasive needles will be used to report on sugar concentrations and water stress in leaves, stems, and large roots in real-time. Continuously monitoring the sugar concentrations at multiple locations will be transformative in understanding whole plant carbon dynamics and the function of the vascular tissues that conduct sugars and other metabolic products downward from the leaves. The second key technology are gas chromatographs deployed in the soil and near plants in order to monitor volatile organic compounds (VOC). Plants synthesize and release volatile organic compounds both aboveground and belowground that act as chemical signals or in response to biotic stress (damage from insects, bacteria, etc.) or abiotic stress (such as drought, flooding, and extreme temperatures). VOCs modulate biomass uptake and the team hopes to better understand soil composition by measuring VOC transport. The team's integrated microsensor technologies will be deployed in arid environments in both natural and agricultural lands to characterize whole plant function in both environments. Applying these sensors to plants in arid environments could assist in re-greening arid ecosystems with new specially bred plants developed and selected to improve soil function with less water and nutrient requirements while depositing more soil carbon.
Floor Sensors for Occupancy Counting in Commercial Buildings
Scanalytics will develop pressure-sensitive flooring underlayers capable of sensing large areas of commercial buildings with a high-resolution and fast response time. This technology will enable the precise counting of people in commercial environments like stores, offices, and convention centers. The floor sensors will consist of a material which changes electrical resistance when compressed. Conductive elements above and below the material will measure the resistance at a grid of points within the floor mat, and electronics will control the switching between sensors, cache the results for transmission, and transmit the readings to a local gateway for analysis. The team's system and data processing algorithms will be developed to resolve multiple people in close proximity, as well as account for non-typical travel methods such as wheelchairs and crutches. This occupancy information may be passed directly to HVAC control, or combined with occupancy information from other sensors to manage the heating, cooling and air flow in order to maximize building energy efficiency and provide optimal human comfort. Energy costs of heating and cooling can be reduced by up to 30% by training the building management system to deliver the right temperature air when and where it is needed.
Sheetak, Inc.
Non-Equilibrium Asymmetic Thermoelectric (NEAT) Devices
Sheetak is developing a thermoelectric-based solid state cooling system that is more efficient, more reliable, and more affordable than today's best systems. Many air conditioners are based on vapor compression, in which a liquid refrigerant circulates within the air conditioner, absorbs heat, and then pumps it out into the external environment. Sheetak's system, by contrast, relies on an electrical current passing through the junction of two different conducting materials to change temperature. Sheetak's design uses proprietary thermoelectric materials to achieve significant energy efficiency and, unlike vapor compression systems, contains no noisy moving parts or polluting refrigerants. Additionally, Sheetak's air conditioner would be made with some of the same manufacturing processes used to produce semiconductor chips, which could lead to less material use and facilitate more affordable production.
SiCLAB, Rutgers University, NJ
First In-Class Demonstration of a Completely New Type of SiC Bipolar Switch (15kV-20kV)
The Rutgers University SiCLAB is developing a new power switch for utility-scale PV inverters that would improve the performance and significantly reduce the size, weight, and energy loss of PV systems. A power switch controls the electrical energy flowing through an inverter, which takes the electrical current from a PV solar panel and converts it into the type and amount of electricity that is compatible with the electric grid. SiCLAB is using silicon carbide (SiC) semiconductors in its new power switches, which are more efficient than the silicon semiconductors used to conduct electricity in most conventional power switches today. Switches with SiC semiconductors can operate at much higher temperatures, as well as higher voltage and power levels than silicon switches. SiC-based power switches are also smaller than those made with silicon alone, so they result in much smaller and lighter electrical devices. In addition to their use in utility-scale PV inverters, SiCLAB's new power switches can also be used in wind turbines, railways, and other smart grid applications.
Signetron Inc.
Using a Smart-Phone for Fast, Automated Energy Audit of Buildings
Signetron is developing a technology that will enable fast, cost effective, and accurate energy audits without the need for expensive, skilled labor to collect data manually. Signetron's innovation integrates low-cost visible and infrared optical cameras into a handheld scanner with depth sensing. This enables the operator to capture indoor 3D maps of building geometry and energy-relevant features as they traverse a building. Captured data is uploaded to the cloud where it is analyzed by Signetron software to generate an energy model and provide actionable energy audit information. If successful, this technology will reduce the time and cost associated with today's energy audits by a factor of 5 and 10 respectively, while offering actionable energy-saving recommendations. This technology could lower the cost barrier for building energy audits, thereby enabling property owners and facility managers to better understand the sources of energy loss in their buildings and where to optimally target retrofits to improve energy savings.
SixPoint Materials, Inc.
GaN Homoepitaxial Wafers by Vapor Phase Epitaxy on Low-Cost, High-Quality Ammonothermal GaN Substrates
SixPoint Materials will create low-cost, high-quality vertical gallium nitride (GaN) substrates for use in high-power electronic devices. In its two-phase project, SixPoint Materials will first focus on developing a high-quality GaN substrate and then on expanding the substrate's size. Substrates are thin wafers of semiconducting material used to power devices like transistors and integrated circuits. SixPoint Materials will use a two-phase production approach that employs both hydride vapor phase epitaxy technology and ammonothermal growth techniques to create its high-quality, low-cost GaN substrates.
SolarBridge Technologies, Inc.
Scalable Submodule Power Conversion for Utility-Scale Photovoltaics
SolarBridge Technologies is developing a new power conversion technique to improve the energy output of PV power plants. This new technique is specifically aimed at large plants where many solar panels are connected together. SolarBridge is correcting for the inefficiencies that occur when two solar panels that encounter different amounts of sun are connected together. In most conventional PV system, the weakest panel limits the energy production of the entire system. That's because all of the energy collected by the PV system feeds into a single collection point where a central inverter then converts it into useable energy for the grid. SolarBridge has found a more efficient and cost-effective way to convert solar energy, correcting these power differences before they reach the grid.
Sonrisa Research, Inc.
A New Class of SiC Power MOSFETs with Record-Low Resistance
Sonrisa Research will develop a new class of SiC power transistors using a simple three-dimensional architectural modification to reduce the channel resistance by up to a factor of nine. To accomplish this, Sonrisa will etch trenches into the basic planar MOSFET, increasing its effective channel width without increasing its overall area. This is similar to the fin-type field-effect transistor (FinFET) geometry popular in advanced Si integrated circuits, but in a configuration that meets high-power application needs. A different structural modification will be used to reduce the substrate resistance. The combination of lower channel and substrate resistance will enable SiC MOSFETs to displace silicon MOSFETs and insulated-gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs) in the blocking voltage regime below 1200V broadening the useful application space and furthering their adoption.
Soraa, Inc.
High-Pressure Ammonothermal Process for Bulk Gallium Nitride Crystal Growth for Energy Efficient Commercially Competitive Lighting
Soraa's new GaN crystal growth method is adapted from that used to grow quartz crystals, which are very inexpensive and represent the second-largest market for single crystals for electronic applications (after silicon). More extreme conditions are required to grow GaN crystals and therefore a new type of chemical growth chamber was invented that is suitable for large-scale manufacturing. A new process was developed that grows GaN crystals at a rate that is more than double that of current processes. The new technology will enable GaN substrates with best-in-world quality at lowest-in-world prices, which in turn will enable new generations of white LEDs, lasers for full-color displays, and high-performance power electronics.
Soraa, Inc.
Large-Area, Low-Cost Bulk GaN Substrates for Power Electronics
Soraa will develop a cost-effective technique to manufacture high-quality, high-performance gallium nitride (GaN) crystal substrates that have fewer defects by several orders of magnitude than conventional GaN substrates and cost about 10 times less. Substrates are thin wafers of semiconducting material needed to power devices like transistors and integrated circuits. Most GaN-based electronics today suffer from very high defect levels and, in turn, reduced performance. In addition to reducing defects, Soraa will also develop methods capable of producing large-area GaN substrates--3 to 4 times larger in diameter than conventional GaN substrates--that can handle high-power switching applications.
