Decarbonizing residential buildings in the United States
A Time-Varying Model for Predicting Formaldehyde Emission Rates in Homes
Recent studies have succeeded in relating emissions of various volatile organic compounds to material mass diffusion transfer using detailed empirical characteristics of each of the individual emitting materials. While significant, the resulting models are often scenario specific and/or require a host of individual component parameters to estimate emission rates. This study developed an approach to estimate aggregated emissions rates based on a w…
Plurilocal Communities in the Indian Ocean World
This special issue is the second of two that have emerged from a conference in Halle, Germany, in September 2019 with the theme ‘Us and them: Diasporas for others in the Indian Ocean.’1 In the introduction to the previous issue, in which we conceptualized the Indian Ocean as a diasporic space, we concluded by observing that a ‘diaspora for others’ could be characterised as plurilocal, ‘a network of spatially dispersed and geographically overlappi…

Factors Impacting Range Hood Use in California Houses and Low-Income Apartments
Venting range hoods can control indoor air pollutants emitted during residential cooktop and oven cooking. To quantify their potential benefits, it is important to know how frequently and under what conditions range hoods are operated during cooking. We analyzed data from 54 single family houses and 17 low-income apartments in California in which cooking activities, range hood use, and fine particulate matter (PM 2.5 ) were monitored for one week…
The Comorian People
The final chapter looks more closely at the islands’ people: their matrilineal kinship systems, age systems, associated rituals and powerful forces for social cohesion. It surveys their material culture, clothing, music and food, and explores the different types of social and ethnic identities that Comorians might invoke, particularly the hierarchies that continue to distinguish the noble born, those of Arab ancestry, and the descendants of slave…
Islands in a Cosmopolitan Sea
Many people today have never heard of the Comoros, but these islands were once part of a prosperous regional trading economy that stretched halfway around the world. A key node in the trading networks of the Indian Ocean, the Comoros prospered by exchanging slaves & commodities with Arab & Indian merchants. By the 16th century, the archipelago served as an important supply point on the route from Europe to Asia. The 20th century brought the estab…
Academic performance, prejudice, and the jigsaw classroom
This field study investigated the effects of a cooperative learning environment and a Jigsaw classroom environment on academic performance, self-esteem, liking of school, liking of peers, and racial prejudice. The subjects were 103 children in Grades 4–6, in two separate schools. The cooperative learning condition was used as a baseline measure of the effects of cooperation, against which the effects of a Jigsaw method, involving both cooperation…
