New groups can be proposed by any research-active member of staff and these are assessed by the Research Committee to ensure the group has grant-winning potential and is attractive to research students . The workshop was sponsored by the Research Department of the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia , Penn Institute of Economic Research , and International Economic Review . It is believed that the research accomplishments of this collaborative activity will encourage additional joint projects and lead to improved understanding and mastery in the field of earthquake engineering . Furthermore , the characterization and modeling of packet loss , delay and delay jitter can be used by the research community as input to various problems related to the design and evaluation of network - and application-layer mechanisms . The 10 meter satellite dish ontop of the Elvey Building , along with it 's sister 11 meter dish are used by the Alaska Satellite Facility ( ASF ) to acquire data which is processed and used by the research community within the Geophysical Institute , University of Alaska , and throughout the world .
