This chapter provides an overview of the programs offered by the International Center for Studies in Creativity (ICSC) at Buffalo State, State University of New York, where creativity is taught and studied extensively at the graduate and undergraduate level. Following the discussion on creativity as a 21st century skill and perennial need for creativity in the workforce, programs and courses are introduced along with the historical roots and philosophy of creativity at ICSC. The Creative Problem Solving Model, which represents the core of the curriculum, is described. The chapter also presents the results of the study regarding the impact of the graduate program on the creative problem solving attitudes of the graduate students based on qualitative and quantitative data.

This paper presents new evidence supporting the development of a screening threshold to evaluate the impact aggregations of solar PV facilities in the northeastern United States can have on voltage deviations in the distribution grid (often called flicker). Using measurements from solar irradiance meters and customer-sited monitoring equipment for residential and light commercial solar systems in Central New York along with data from the Measurement and Instrumentation Data Centers at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Elizabeth City State University, and Bluefield College, we present multiple lines of support for the adoption of a flicker screening threshold equivalent to a 5% change in voltage resulting from a full-on to full-off transition of a solar facility. This approach is based on both the newer flicker perception limits in IEEE 1453-2015 and the previous limits derived from the flicker curves in IEEE 519-1992 and is consistent with recent draft recommendations from the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) for use in New York. Measurements of correlations between fluctuations at different sites along with a model for high densities of solar facilities are applied to allow the impact of multiple systems on a single feeder to be taken into account while maintaining the simplicity of a single screening threshold.

Abstract Joint research work between the University of Limoges and the State University of New York, Stony Brook, has been carried out on the impact and solidification of plasma sprayed zirconia particles. A measurement device, consisting of a phase doppler particle analyser and a pyrometer, was used to correlate the characteristic parameters of splats to those of the substrate and to the size, velocity and temperature of the impacting particles.

Рассматривается проблема доверия и недоверия недостоверной информации, распространяемой в Интернете. Обсуждаются вопросы природы фейковых сообщений, психологических механизмов возникновения и распространения фейков, психологических характеристик и мотивации распространителей недостоверной информации и др. Также уделяется внимание методам распознавания фейков, как экспертным, так и выполняемым программами искусственного интеллекта. Представлены результаты исследований, проводимых в ряде исследовательских организаций США, в частности, в Массачусетском Технологическом Институте, в Мичиганском институте науки о данных, университете Ланкастера, Калифорнийском университете, университете штата Огайо, университете штата Северная Каролина и др. Представлено описание отличий распространяемой в Интернете недостоверной информации от достоверной, а также данные о влиянии социальной среды и когнитивных ошибок пользователей на распространение недостоверной информации. Рассмотрено влияние фейков на отношение к известным рекламным брендам. Исследования показывают, что ложные новости, например, в социальной сети Twitter, распространяются намного быстрее, чем правдивые, и в гораздо большем объеме. Было установлено, что распространение фейковой информации почти не связано с ботами, запрограммированными на ее распространение. В наибольшей степени это определяется именно действиями людей. Отмечается, что, поскольку исследования доверия и недоверия информации в Интернете представляют огромный интерес для бизнеса, их результаты оказываются малодоступными широкой общественности. Это делает исследования по данной проблематике крайне актуальными для социальной и экономической психологии. The problem of studying the trust and distrust of unreliable information distributed on the Internet is considered. The article discusses the nature of fake messages, the psychological mechanisms of the emergence and spread of fakes, the psychological characteristics and motivation of distributors of false information, and so on. Attention is also paid to methods for recognizing fakes, both expert and performed by artificial intelligence programs. The results of research conducted in several research organizations in the United States at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the Michigan Institute of data science, Lancaster University, the University of California, Ohio state University, North Carolina state University, etc. are presented. The article describes the differences between false information distributed on the Internet and reliable information, as well as data on the impact of the social environment and cognitive errors of users on the dissemination of false information. The problem of the influence of fakes on the attitude to well-known advertising brands is considered. Research shows that false news, for example, on the social network Twitter, spreads much faster than true news, and in a much larger volume. It was found that the spread of fake information is almost not associated with bots programmed to distribute such information. To the greatest extent, this is determined by the actions of people. It is noted that since research on trust and distrust of information on the Internet is of great interest to businesses, their results are not accessible to the General public. This makes research on this issue extremely relevant for social and economic psychology.
