Persistence Factor Sample Clauses

Persistence Factor.Β In order to compare results to the 8-hour CO standard, the total CO concentration for a given scenario is obtained by multiplying the 1-hour modeled project contribution CO concentration by the persistence factor and then adding the 8-hour CO background concentration: π‘‡π‘œπ‘‘π‘Žπ‘™ 8 βˆ’ β„Žπ‘œπ‘’π‘Ÿ 𝐢𝑂 = 1 βˆ’ β„Žπ‘œπ‘’π‘Ÿ π‘π‘Ÿπ‘œπ‘—π‘’π‘π‘‘ π‘π‘œπ‘›π‘‘π‘Ÿπ‘–π‘π‘’π‘‘π‘–π‘œπ‘› π‘₯ π‘π‘’π‘Ÿπ‘ π‘–π‘ π‘‘π‘’π‘›π‘π‘’ π‘“π‘Žπ‘π‘‘π‘œπ‘Ÿ + 8 βˆ’ β„Žπ‘œπ‘’π‘Ÿ π‘π‘Žπ‘π‘˜π‘”π‘Ÿπ‘œπ‘’π‘›π‘‘ The persistence factor accounts for variability in traffic (i.e., less traffic during off peak hours) and meteorological conditions (i.e., changes in wind speed, wind direction, and temperature) between the 1-hour time frame and the 8-hour time frame. The persistence factor is the ratio between the maximum 1-hour concentration and the resulting maximum 8-hour concentration in the 8-hour time frame containing the maximum 1-hour concentration. The persistence factor recommended by EPA for a local area is derived from the average of the highest 10 non-overlapping 8-hour CO concentrations over the previous three years. Where representative monitoring data are not available, EPA recommends the use of a persistence factor of 0.7, which was applied for this analysis17.

Persistence Factor.Β To derive an 8-hour CO concentration from the modeled 1-hour CO concentration, a persistence factor was applied to the modeled 1-hour concentration. The persistence factor accounts for variability in traffic and meteorological conditions between the 1-hour time frame and the 8-hour time frame. The persistence factor is the ratio between the maximum 1-hour CO concentration and the resulting maximum 8-hour concentration in the 8-hour time frame containing the maximum 1-hour concentration. For a local area, EPA recommends using the average of the highest 10 non-overlapping 8-hour CO concentrations from the previous three years as the persistence factor. Where representative monitoring data is not available EPA recommends the use of a persistence factor of 0.7. For this study, the EPA recommended persistence factor of 0.7 was used because the study was on the national scale. Examination of state air quality monitoring data may yield a persistence factor different than the national default value of 0.7. This could result in a different set of project conditions and types that would be covered under the PA. A state-specific persistence factor can be easily incorporated into a state PA since the results reported in section 4.7 Summary of Modeled Results are all in terms of the one-hour concentration. Thus, simply multiplying the one-hour concentration by the state-specific persistence factor would provide the 8-hour CO concentration.

Related to Persistence Factor

  • Performance Factors (a) Each party will notify the other party of the existence of a Performance Factor, as soon as reasonably possible after the party becomes aware of the Performance Factor. The Notice will:

  • Power Factor The Power Producer shall maintain the Power Factor as per the prevailing GERC regulations and as may be stipulated / specified by GETCO from time to time. The Power Producer shall provide suitable protection devices, so that the Electric Generators could be isolated automatically when grid supply fails. Connectivity criteria like short circuit level (for switchgear), neutral Grounding, fault clearance time, current unbalance (including negative and zero sequence currents), limit of harmonics etc. shall be as per Grid Code.

  • ADJUSTMENT FACTORS The Contractor will perform any or all Tasks in the Construction Task Catalog for the Unit Price appearing therein multiplied by the following Adjustment Factors. See the General Terms and Conditions for additional information.

  • Staffing Levels to deal with Potential Violence The Employer agrees that, where there is a risk of violence, an adequate level of trained employees should be present. The Employer recognizes that workloads can lead to fatigue and a diminished ability both to identify and to subsequently deal with potentially violent situations.

  • Multiplier For Work assigned under this Agreement, a maximum multiplier of 2.9 for home office and 2.4 for field office shall apply to Consultant’s hourly Wage Rates in calculating compensation payable by the City. Said multiplier is intended to cover the Consultant employee benefits and the Consultant’s profit and overhead, including, without limitation, office rent, local telephone and utility charges, office and drafting supplies, depreciation of equipment, professional dues, subscriptions, stenographic, administrative and clerical support, other employee time or travel and subsistence not directly related to a project.

  • Non pre-priced Adjustment Factor To be applied to Work deemed not to be included in the CTC but within the general scope of the work:

  • SECONDARY FACTORS (a) The extent of control which, by agreement, COUNTY may exercise over the details of the work is slight rather than substantial; (b) CONTRACTOR is engaged in a distinct occupation or business; (c) In the locality, the work to be done by CONTRACTOR is usually done by a specialist without supervision, rather than under the direction of an employer; (d) The skill required in the particular occupation is substantial rather than slight; (e) The CONTRACTOR rather than the COUNTY supplies the instrumentalities, tools and work place; The length of time for which CONTRACTOR is engaged is of limited duration rather than indefinite; (g) The method of payment of CONTRACTOR is by the job rather than by the time; (h) The work is part of a special or permissive activity, program, or project, rather than part of the regular business of COUNTY; (i) CONTRACTOR and COUNTY believe they are creating an independent contractor relationship rather than an employee relationship; and The COUNTY conducts public business. It is recognized that it is not necessary that all secondary factors support creation of an independent contractor relationship, but rather that overall there are significant secondary factors which indicate that CONTRACTOR is an independent contractor. By their signatures to this Agreement, each of the undersigned certifies that it is his or her considered judgment that the CONTRACTOR engaged under this Agreement is in fact an independent contractor.

  • Staffing Levels To the extent legislative appropriations and PIN authorizations allow, safe staffing levels will be maintained in all institutions where employees have patient, client, inmate or student care responsibilities. In July of each year, the Secretary or Deputy Secretary of each agency will, upon request, meet with the Union, to hear the employees’ views regarding staffing levels. In August of each year, the Secretary or Deputy Secretary of Budget and Management will, upon request, meet with the Union to hear the employees’ views regarding the Governor’s budget request.

  • Other Factors The Employer may provide for additional formal and informal evaluations as it shall determine to be necessary for the proper conduct of the educational program and the utilization of its employees. The evaluation opinions of the Employer shall not be subject to the Grievance Procedure if the procedures herein set forth have been followed.

  • STATEWIDE ACHIEVEMENT TESTING When CONTRACTOR is an NPS, per implementation of Senate Bill 484, CONTRACTOR shall administer all Statewide assessments within the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (β€œCAASP”), Desired Results Developmental Profile (β€œDRDP”), California Alternative Assessment (β€œCAA”), achievement and abilities tests (using LEA-authorized assessment instruments), the Fitness Gram with the exception of the English Language Proficiency Assessments for California (β€œELPAC”) to be completed by the LEA, and as appropriate to the student, and mandated by XXX xxxxxxxx to LEA and state and federal guidelines. CONTRACTOR is subject to the alternative accountability system developed pursuant to Education Code section 52052, in the same manner as public schools. Each LEA student placed with CONTRACTOR by the LEA shall be tested by qualified staff of CONTRACTOR in accordance with that accountability program. XXX shall provide test administration training to CONTRACTOR’S qualified staff. CONTRACTOR shall attend LEA test training and comply with completion of all coding requirements as required by XXX.
