Earned Income Tax Credit: Implementation of Three New Tests Proceeded Smoothly, But Tests and Evaluation Plans Were Not Fully Documented (open access)

Earned Income Tax Credit: Implementation of Three New Tests Proceeded Smoothly, But Tests and Evaluation Plans Were Not Fully Documented

A letter report issued by the Government Accountability Office with an abstract that begins "Research has shown that the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) has helped lift millions of individuals out of poverty. In recent years, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has paid approximately $30 billion annually to about 20 million EITC recipients. However, the program also has experienced a high rate of noncompliance. IRS estimated that EITC overclaim rates for tax year 1999, the most recent data available, were between 27 and 32 percent of dollars claimed or $8.5 billion and $9.9 billion, respectively. We were asked to describe the three tests IRS has begun to reduce overclaims and how the funds appropriated for them were spent; assess how well IRS implemented the tests and describe planned refinements for the 2005 tests; and assess whether IRS's evaluation plans had sufficient documented detail to facilitate managerial review and stakeholder oversight and describe the status of the 2005 evaluation plans."

Evaluation of High Dynamic Range Photography as a Luminance Mapping Technique (open access)

Evaluation of High Dynamic Range Photography as a Luminance Mapping Technique

The potential, limitations, and applicability of the High Dynamic Range (HDR) photography technique is evaluated as a luminance mapping tool. Multiple exposure photographs of static scenes are taken with a Nikon 5400 digital camera to capture the wide luminance variation within the scenes. The camera response function is computationally derived using the Photosphere software, and is used to fuse the multiple photographs into HDR images. The vignetting effect and point spread function of the camera and lens system is determined. Laboratory and field studies have shown that the pixel values in the HDR photographs can correspond to the physical quantity of luminance with reasonable precision and repeatability.

Modeling Power Systems as Complex Adaptive Systems (open access)

Modeling Power Systems as Complex Adaptive Systems

Physical analogs have shown considerable promise for understanding the behavior of complex adaptive systems, including macroeconomics, biological systems, social networks, and electric power markets. Many of today's most challenging technical and policy questions can be reduced to a distributed economic control problem. Indeed, economically based control of large-scale systems is founded on the conjecture that the price-based regulation (e.g., auctions, markets) results in an optimal allocation of resources and emergent optimal system control. This report explores the state-of-the-art physical analogs for understanding the behavior of some econophysical systems and deriving stable and robust control strategies for using them. We review and discuss applications of some analytic methods based on a thermodynamic metaphor, according to which the interplay between system entropy and conservation laws gives rise to intuitive and governing global properties of complex systems that cannot be otherwise understood. We apply these methods to the question of how power markets can be expected to behave under a variety of conditions.

Oral History Interview with Mary Jean Tanner, December 30, 2004 transcript

Oral History Interview with Mary Jean Tanner, December 30, 2004

The National Museum of the Pacific War presents an oral interview with Mary Jean Tanner. Tanner joined the Army after working as a civilian in a parts warehouse at Kelly Field. She was given special clearance to handle the Norden bombsight. Upon enlisting in the Army, she was sent to Algiers, as secretary to General Sables. She was the only woman in the chemical warfare unit there. The water in Algiers had been so badly contaminated by air raids as to be deemed unsafe, even for bathing. One evening, while she was sitting on her bed, a 90mm high-explosive dud landed where her chest would have been, had she been lying down. Later, an ammunition boat exploded near her office, shattering her window and covering her in glass. Tanner returned home and was discharged in the fall of 1943. As a result of her experiences abroad, she experienced extreme anxiety during thunderstorms, hiding in the closet. And she never told anyone that she had been a WAC, as she felt that women were looked down upon for having served.
