Abstract:
Beth Reingold questions some of the conventional wisdom regarding women representing women and their interests. She does this by comparing the legislative behavior of women in the Arizona and California state legislatures in 1990, and she provides an understanding of the consequences and implications of electing women to public office. Reingold is interested in what these trends mean for the political repre- sentation of women in the United States, and it is this concern that focuses the volume.

In many ways, intercollegiate athletics represents the ‘sustainable’ front porch of higher education.

Heat can be supplied to the store from the solar collectors or from a power station (as waste heat). The whole system has worked successfully for five years under varied strategies. In the first two heating periods, the heating strategy was aimed to collect as much solar energy as possible. Thus, about 60 percent of the heat demand could be covered by

Abstract:
Purpose Universities can do more to deliver against the sustainable development goals (SDGs), working with faculty, staff and students, as well as their wider stakeholder community and alumni body. They play a critical role in helping shape new ways for the world, educating global citizens and delivering knowledge and innovation into society. Universities can be engines of societal transformation. Using a multiple case study approach, this study aims to explore different ways of strategizing sustainability toward delivering the SDGs are explored in a university setting with an example from the

The Public Utility District No. 2 of Grant County, Washington, USA, in collaboration with the National Renewable Energy Laboratory and Northern Arizona University, conducted an analysis of the impact wind integration on their hydropower dominant generation system. Wind power penetration levels of 12 MW (2.0%), 63.7 MW (10.4%) and 150 MW (24.6%) were considered. For the 2006 study year, a statistical summary of the changes in the regulation and load following requirements expected due to wind variability was conducted. The results demonstrated that the impact of wind power upon minute-to-minute

Purpose – The purpose of this research is to explore the drivers of computer-related sustainability behavior at a medium-sized US university and the extent to which an inexpensive energy-saving device installed on 146 administrator, faculty and general staff workstations achieved significant savings in kWh, CO2 kg and dollars. Design/methodology/approach – A mixed-method approach was used to collect qualitative and quantitative data to inform the study, and an intervention was introduced to raise awareness of energy-saving initiatives on a medium-sized university campus at an individual level.

For the past three decades, sustainable development (SD) at higher education institutions (HEIs) has been receiving increasing global attention based on the recognition of their vital roles in fostering sustainability teaching and practices on their campuses and influencing the larger society to embrace sustainable behaviors. As one of its key dimensions, an institutional framework is a fundamental step and indicator of commitment to advancing SD at universities.
