An evaluation of North Carolina's mandatory oceanfront setback policy: a case study of Nags Head
… a statewide mandatory oceanfront 30-year setback on June 1, 1979. This research evaluated the effectiveness of the setback policy in the town of Nags Head in protecting private property from ocean hazards, preventing the encroachment of structures on public beaches, and minimizing public …

Exploring Energy, Comfort, and Building Health Impacts of Deep Setback and Normal Occupancy Smart Thermostat Implementation
… was paid to smart thermostat impacts to deep setback and normal occupancy states in a variety of conditions while complying with the ventilation and temperature requirements of ASHRAE 90.2-2013. Custom weather models and occupancy schedules were generated to efficiently explore a combination …

A Retrospective Study On The Change Of Pharyngea Airway Space And Hyoid Bone Position After Mandibular Setback Surgery
… airway space or hyoid bone position. Mandibular setback surgery can cause a displacement of hyoid bone posteriorly and inferiorly and also decrease a pharyngeal airway space, particularly in oropharyngeal space. In patients who have a predisposing factors of obstructive sleep apnea, caution was …

Methods of determining stream setback corridors in urban watersheds from remotely sensed data in the Dallas metropolitan area, Texas.
… parameters such as channel material. Stream setbacks are easily calculated using computer-aided mapping technology, through the use of remotely sensed data and setbacks can be determined and mapped as corridors with minimal field checking. This study evaluates the overall accuracy of this …

Effect of workload, upper body posture, and saddle set-back on full body angular joint kinematics, muscle activity, and lower limb haemodynamics
… by workload, upper body posture, and saddle setback. This Thesis developed a comprehensive full-body three dimensional kinematic model and then determined the effects of workload, Upper Body Posture, and Saddle Setback on the leg, trunk, and arm kinematics of the cyclist. Competitive cycling …

A persuasive GPS-controlled thermostat system
… over 40% of U.S. homes may not use energy-saving setbacks when homes are unoccupied. We estimate that using a GPS-enabled thermostat might lead to savings of as much as 7% for some households that do not regularly use the setback features afforded by manual and setback thermostats, without …

An experimental investigation of the effects of inlet geometry on the performance of a bistable fluid amplifier
… (external operating conditions, wall roughness, setback, and other geometric variables) on the amplifier performance were studied. The results are compared with typical commercial bistable fluid amplifiers. When the flow entered the power nozzle from a right angle bend, a bias in the switching …

Guidelines for designing the overhead transmission tower foundations adjacent to cohesionless slopes
… slope height and inclination, foundation setback distance from the slope edge, load inclination, pier batter inclination, as well as soil strength and relative density. The results of laboratory tests and numerical simulations were analyzed to establish design guidelines for transmission …

The Effectiveness of Seismically Designed Steel Framing Systems Subjected to Blast Loading
… irregularity is also investigated. Vertical setback and horizontal reentrant corner irregularities are considered for two different blast locations. Finally, the modification to a MRF structure required to prevent any member failure are found as well as the cost of making the structures more …

The effect of distance between artificial drainage facilities and disposal trenches on the movement of biological and chemical pollutants from septic tank effluent
… Chesapeake, Virginia to determine the effect of setback distances from a drainage ditch on the disposal of septic tank effluent. The study was done from September 1979 to August 1981. The soil used is the Tomotley series belonging to the fine-loamy, mixed, thermic family of Typic Ochraquults. …

Impact of high-rise morphology on gas temperatures during fires
… simplified representation of the "flushed" and "setback" arrangementwhich revealed that for the adjacent regions, when the distance between the edge of thecore and boundaries exceeds 50% of the region width, the presence of a setback willresult in lower peak temperatures than when a setback is …
