Todo sobre América Latina
No full textThis project attempts to inform a Spanish-speaking audience about the humanities of Latin America. The format is a blog which solicits more engagement with the embedded research and written text. Colorful photos and informative videos attract the attention of a general public that may otherwise not be interested in learning extensively about history and culture. Such focus is important because Latin American past has great bearing on the lives of much of the Latinx community today—in many regions.
Specifically, this blog contains articles about history, literature, movies and shows, dance, and travelling. The audience can learn about a broad timeline of events, femicide, continuity and change in the 19th century, Mexico and the empires, Chicanos, feminism, Che Guevara, independence, and bilingualism. Viewers can learn about influential pieces and popular culture such as: Caramelo, La prodigiosa tarde de Baltazar, Soneto CLXVI, Bodas de sangre, Los crímenes en la calle morgue, and La lengua de las mariposas; La reina del Flow, Selena, La casa de los espíritus, Pedaleando, and El silencio de los otros. Viewers can also watch a selection of carefully curated documentaries that present some of the same information in an alternative mode of consumption.
I attempt to create an accessible and virtual forum that builds upon the information I have learned, both from firsthand travelling experience and many years of schooling. My study compiles a portfolio of almost all the work I have accomplished during my college career as a History and Spanish major
Reinstatement of the Poly Canyon Caretaker Program through the Development of a Tiny Home Community
Get PDFThe Poly Canyon Experimental Structures Laboratory, through its Design/Build program, is unique in the educational opportunity it provides Cal Poly College of Architecture and Environmental Design (CAED) students. However, since the conclusion of the Caretaker Program in 2011, the facility’s structures have deteriorated due to vandalism, purposeful destruction, and weathering. This study examines the perspectives of CAED students, the interim CAED Dean, Kevin Dong, and Cal Poly Risk Manager, Mike Morgan, on the effectiveness in reinstating the Caretaker Program through the development of a tiny home community. Results indicated educational value in this facility, so addressing these issues must occur to ensure the preservation and maintenance of the structures. Due to its undeveloped location, the reinstatement of this program poses liability to the University regarding the safety and wellbeing of the caretakers. For such a proposal to be approved, risks must be identified, and controls must be designed and developed. There is support from all surveyed and interviewed parties to revitalize the space so that it can be used as it\u27s intended purpose of further impacting interdisciplinary collaboration. This study’s findings serve as a foundation in the proposal of such a development in the future
Preliminary Analysis Of A 12U Astronomy CubeSat
Get PDFThe explosion of exoplanet astronomy has led to thousands of new discoveries and opportunities to be explored. The ability to capture images and perform meaningful science has resulted in an abundance of follow-on missions, surveys, and fostered a community of amateur astronomers in the last ten years. This success mirrors the development of CubeSats, which have proved an immensely popular way for students of all levels to access space and collect data. Multiple CubeSats have been developed to observe and characterize single exoplanet tran- sits, showing that this class of mission is possible. However, there is currently no mission designed to act as a low-cost robotic telescope in space for students to use and collect data. This thesis is intended to analyze feasibility of observing a large number of exoplanet transits over a long duration, with the goal of being able to revisit any one system three times (the minimum for confirmation). To facilitate this, the payload performance is characterized, and requirements flowed down to the design of the attitude determination and control subsystem, thermal con- trol subsystem, communications subsystem, and power subsystem. Additionally, mission constraints lead to orbit selection and the CubeSat specification provides requirements on mounting and layout
