- Description
- Geothermal is not something often considered in the Northeast due to the depth required to find heat.
We, as a society, face the challenges of weaning off of fossil fuels and switching to sources that do not add greenhouse gasses to the atmosphere. Electricity production from alternative energy sources, like wind and solar power can help, but what can be done to replace over 30% of New York State’s energy consumption that is used to heat our homes and offices? Cornell University researchers and staff may have that answer. They are exploring how the heat deep below our feet – geothermal energy – can fill this need anywhere, using Cornell’s Ithaca campus as a demonstration site.
A 10,000 foot deep geothermal observation borehole was installed at Cornell over the summer of 2022, what this means for reducing fossil fuel energy for the University, and how the approach might be applied to energy transitions nationally.

- Optimizing Sleep in Women
Fiona Baker, PhD
Sleep is essential for a healthy life. In women, a range of sleep problems can emerge within the context of reproductive aging. In the reproductive years, women who experience severe PMS or painful cramps are likely to have transient insomnia and daytime sleepiness. Alleviating pain can lead to a better night’s sleep. During pregnancy and post-partum, some sleep disruption is to be expected, however, when severe or if a sleep disorder like sleep apnea emerges, it needs to be managed to ensure maintenance of physical and mental health. Midlife and menopause can also bring fluctuations in sleep patterns, but research shows promising solutions. Clinical trials of cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia show consistent improvements in sleep and hot flash-related interference and it is now a first-line of treatment for insomnia.

New York's Adirondack Park is larger than Yellowstone, Yosemite, Glacier, Grand Canyon, and Great Smokies National Parks combined. It is one of the largest unbroken deciduous forests on earth, with a thousand miles of streams and rivers, hundreds of lakes, and lofty peaks.

A) Represent a fraction 1/b on a number line diagram by defining the interval from 0 to 1 as the whole and partitioning it into b equal parts. Recognize that each part has size 1/b and that the endpoint of the part based at 0 locates the number 1/b on the number line.
B) Represent a fraction a/b on a number line diagram by marking off a lengths 1/b from 0. Recognize that the resulting interval has size a/b and that its endpoint locates the number a/b on the number line.
