In FY 2014, U.S. universities received nearly $25 billion in federal grant funding for Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) research. Studies show that women are very underrepresented in STEM fields. Federal agencies are required to enforce Title IX -- a law prohibiting discrimination on the basis of sex in education programs receiving any federal financial assistance -- including at universities they fund. This report examines: (1) the extent to which differences exist in federal grant awards between women and men in STEM fields; (2) the extent to which federal agencies enforce Title IX at universities they fund for STEM research; and (3) possible actions federal agencies could take to address the representation of women in STEM research. Tables and figures. This is a print on demand report.

Fu talismans are ideograms and writings typically rendered on paper and empowered by means of invocations, ritual, and transferences of energy, or Qi.This book expands upon that premise and draws from "The Failure of Risk Management" to sound the alarm in the cybersecurity realm.Disparate approaches such as discrete and probabilistic formulations on the one hand and continuous, deterministic strategies on the other often have optimi- tion or energy minimization as a common theme.Suitable for researchers and students in urban planning, architecture or the engineering sciences, as well as local actors - who will find key insights into the relationships between spatial planning and energy consumption, as well as recommendations to inform the development of local policies aimed at improving and managing the energy efficiency of existing neighbourhoods and territories - the book both examines current trends (favouring compact cities, etc.) and sparks new discourses in both building and transportation energy consumption and promoting interdisciplinary knowledge transfer on sustainable urban forms.It is now widely recognized that there is a need for long-term secure and suitable sustainable forms of energy.The massive increase in seniors and relative decline of those of working age in the US is mirrored in almost all the world s most populous countries.Author Kristin Petrovichfounder of luxury gem-infused skincare line SjÀltakes readers from the basics of crystal and gemstone energy to building an affordable, essential crystal collection; from crafting crystal-infused skincare to self-care with crystal and gemstone massa≥ from creating luxurious and restorative crystal-centric rituals to finding the perfect stone to enhance every occasion.To illustrate this, the author analyses ten awardwinning buildings from around the world, focusing on the details of the design strategy, the impact of local climate and the importance of seasonal changes in sunlight and wind strength.
