Get PDFThis book review addresses the author, Fazlalizadeh\u27s approach to art as social justice, overarching definitions of gender-based street harassment, and intersectionality. This review also offers suggestions for how feminist educators may utilize Stop telling women to smile in classrooms
Transportation in US National Parks: Case Studies and Recommendations
Get PDFThis report examines several parks’ transportation systems internally as well as their connections to gateway towns and nearby major cities. From this, I outline what successful parks do and what goals other parks should try to meet to make their transportation systems shine
AS-945-22 Resolution on Timely Adoption of Courseware in Support of Affordability and Transparency
Get PDFResolves that deadlines for ordering course materials shall comply with the HEOA, which supersedes the language of AS-654-07; and that by the fourth Friday of January each year, the Registrar’s Office will notify faculty and publish on its website a calendar of course material adoption deadlines for all terms of the approaching academic year. And it further resolves that the provost or designee will compile, each term, a report detailing that term’s timely adoption rates by each department (or reasons why adoptions were not met) and send that report to all college deans, department chairs, and department heads

How to Manage Material Costing for Future Projects During Shortages and Inflationary Times
Get PDFNo one knows precisely when a significant shortage or inflation of material will come. In the construction industry, the cost of materials changes daily. However, when Covid-19 arrived, the material price increased dramatically. Suppliers ran out of material, small companies couldn’t afford the material, and large companies had to compete with other larger companies more than ever. I had the opportunity to interview five well-informed construction owners and senior executives about their companies and what they did to survive unforeseen shortages and inflations in construction material. Inventory and pre-buying materials were vital in helping companies not have to pay a dramatic increase on lumber, metal, concrete, plywood, and rebar. Another great way to help with unforeseen cost increases was communication between suppliers and owners. All interviewees stated that their suppliers would give them a heads up before the price increase to plan accordingly with their job sites. With materials still increasing, having the research to help future smaller construction companies manage material during inflation and shortages would be very helpful for construction companies. I got the information from both large and small construction companies to have a wide range of practical tips when dealing with times of inflation
Differing Moisture Content in Concrete and Mitigation Methods: Research of Sacramento
Get PDFThe city of Sacramento and its concrete foundations face one of the most challenging conditions in the flooring industry, high RH Moisture. RH Moisture or Relative Humidity Moisture is one of the main causes for flooring systems to fail. The source of High RH Moisture consists of surrounding geographic features like rivers, flood plains, and elevation, as well as improper or nonexistent use of a vapor barrier beneath the concrete foundation. Mapping and other data is used to support these claims. If a flooring system is not properly prepared for high RH Moisture levels, issues such as bubbling, delamination, and glue becoming unadhered can all lead to mass amounts of damage. The data used consists of hundreds of RH Moisture tests by Wagner Meters and will be used to prove the issue of high RH Moisture persists in the Sacramento area. The RH Moisture testing method has become an industry favorite compared to other methods due to the capability to read the middle of the concrete slab, where others only give surface readings. Once an RH reading is established it is up to the contractor to find the best solution to the Moisture problem using a topical moisture barrie
ME 343 Heat Transfer Laboratory, 6th Edition
Get PDFWelcome to the documentation used to describe and conduct ten heat transfer experiments located in the Thermal Sciences Laboratory in Building 13, Room 203, at Cal Poly State University. All of the experiments are designed to illustrate many of the concepts that are presented in undergraduate thermodynamics and heat transfer classes. The first objective of each lab is to provide students with hands-on experience with thermal science experiments. This includes working with standard facilities and instrumentation commonly found in thermal science laboratories. The second objective of each lab is to learn how to use experimentally collected data to either validate an analytical model for a range of conditions or to characterize the performance of a thermal system. This includes learning about experimental design and instrument selection concepts needed to achieve the goals of each lab. The third objective is to continue to develop the ability to effectively document experimental results in a laboratory report or technical memorandum
