Radio 400
United States educational settlements have one of the largest radio networks in the world; much of it funded with public money. During today's session limit our break down to, (1) Security and maintenance personnel radio, (2) Broadcast and student radio. We do not cover content issues; though we cover the technology that supports transmission of content using publicly owned facilities.
Human Factors Using Elevators in Emergency Evacuation
"...If elevators could be safely used in fire emergencies, the safety of building occupants with mobility limitations could be greatly enhanced and the time for all occupants to evacuate might be rduced. This report covers a study of human factors considerations related to the possible use of elevators for evacuations in fire emergencies..."
Minimum Design Loads and Associated Criteria for Buildings and Other Structures
The ASCE 7 Hazard Tool is a quick, reliable way to look up key design parameters specified in ASCE 7 for a particular location. Wind, tornado, seismic, ice, rain, flood, snow and tsunami hazards are all available in one tool. Two redlines closely coupled with the International Building Code are open for public consultation until September 14 and October 15, respectively.
Quadrivium: Summer
Educational settlements should be magical places. The stack informing the beauty of these "cities-within-cities" changes 100 to 1000 times per day globally. We monitor the action continuously to formulate response to public consultations. Topics appear on our CALENDAR and explored every day at 15:00 UTC. Recommend refresh of this web page once or twice to see timeliest information.
Radio Transmission Power & Frequency Allocation
Why are there at least ten publicly funded radio stations receivable in a 75 mile radius up and down the I-94/I-75 corridor in Lower Peninsula Michigan -- all of them domiciled in public universities? Join us today at the usual hour when we explore signal strength standards and implications of gaps and overlaps from a public safety standpoint. With link to Guglielmo Marconi's testimony to the U.S. Senate April 1912.

Current Issues & Recent Research
We are tooling up for the NFPA 2029 National Electrical Code Technical Committee Meetings in September and the IEEE Industrial Applications Society Meetings in October.
Dimidia veritas, tota mendacium est
In gales of audacious Goebbels-like innuendo -- despite Congressional budget recissions against its ideological turpitude -- the soundtrack of American academia persists in its off-the-chain political bias with many hosted from "university adjacent" facilities; not illegal but should be. Unpacking signal overlap with bias saturation cannot happen soon enough. With link to Marconi's reflections on use of the electromagnetic spectrum.
