When Roger Lee Grant's name was announced to the Class of 2000 at the Naval Academy's graduation ceremony in the Annapolis stadium, midshipmen rose and cheered exuberantly to honor the man with the lowest graduating score (2.08, which combines grades and military and athletic performance).

At least 12 of Grant's ...

Quantifying performance improvements from powerplant upgrades In designing upgrade projects, planners cite specific goals--such as "will improve heat rate by 200 Btu/kWh," or "will enhance load-following ability by 20%." But often it's difficult to prove that the goals were met, because baseline conditions aren't known or can't be duplicated. Empirically derived computer simulations can help.
