Physiologically-based predictors of speech intelligibilityAccurate models of normal and impaired neural representations of sound are useful tools in understanding how acoustic stimuli are encoded in the brain, predicting speech intelligibility, and developing and testing speech processing schemes for hearing aids. In this talk I will review recent developments in modeling the effects of hair ...

Emission Reductions in the Electricity Sector by 2030: High Resolution Modeling of Rapid Decarbonization ScenariosDecarbonizing electricity production is central to greenhouse gas reduction. Exploiting intermittent renewable energy resources demands a new class of power system planning models with high temporal and spatial resolution. SWITCH, a mixed-integer linear program developed at the Renewable and Appropriate Energy Laboratory at UC Berkeley, is used to analyze capacity-expansion ...
