Exploring Design Tools
No full textFor my Honors Research Project, I developed skills to 3D model and render using Rhino 8, Tinkercad and Adobe Illustrator. In the process of developing these skills, I created six digital renderings and one model. The works produced using these software programs are to be used in a developing portfolio to seek future opportunities in the field of architecture.
Throughout this project, I explored connections between different programs when designing and building each piece. This project also reflects my focus in the Sculpture program at the Myers School of Art by considering elements of design in a three-dimensional form. In each design, I considered both function and aesthetics, examining how the visual form reflects and communicates the purpose
Microscopic Insights on Shear Rheology of Polyampholyte Ionomers via Molecular Simulations
Full text linkIonomers are polymers that contain a small fraction of charged groups. The ionic attraction of charged groups allows ionomers to act similarly to crosslinked polymers. Depending on the strength of electrostatic interactions and structure of the ionomers, different dynamics and rheological responses can be observed. With moderate attraction between ions, these noncovalent crosslinks can be broken when heated, allowing ionomers to flow and show the strength of a crosslinked network at low temperatures. Nonequilibrium molecular dynamics (NEMD) simulations will be performed under shear in the xy-plane and the macroscopic rheology and conformation of the polyampholyte ionomer will be determined. The bead-spring model with the inclusion of charged particles will be implemented to mimic the behavior of ionomers in a melt state. The data obtained will be the stress-strain behavior, shear viscosity, and chain conformation. The microscopic and macroscopic chain alignment with the flow field will be used to identify the flow mechanisms and structure disruption of polyampholyte ionomers formed with different charge distributions, namely random and precise. Furthermore, the effect of dielectric constant and the extent of gelation on the rheological properties will be characterized. The results will be compared with those for a control system without any charged groups
Women\u27s Work and Wealth: Measuring the Impact of Incremental Liberations, 1850-1870
Full text linkUsing a two-way fixed effects difference-in-difference model, this project analyzes data from the IPUMS Full Count census for 1850, 1860, and 1870 at a state level for 48 states. Four models assess the impact of property laws on women\u27s real property holdings, labor force participation, household types, and real property values.
By quantifying the impact of various legal reforms on women\u27s economic empowerment, this project fills a gap in the understanding of the intersection between law, society, and women\u27s economic agency during a transformative period in pre-industrial American history. These impacts can implicate the effectiveness of legislative measures in advancing gender equality and economic mobility in the modern day.
This project aims to understand how laws affected women\u27s economic status in the U.S. from 1850 to 1870. Specifically, it looks at laws regarding property and work rights for women, such as married women\u27s property acts and earnings laws. By studying historical census data from 48 states, the project evaluates how these laws influenced women\u27s property ownership, job opportunities, and economic independence. The goal is to measure the impact of these legal changes on women\u27s financial well-being during a significant period in American history. This research helps fill gaps in understanding how laws shape women\u27s economic empowerment, providing insights into gender equality and economic progress today.
Women\u27s work and wealth in the United States has been pivotal in shaping the trajectory of the economy, but historical understanding of their economic contributions remains fragmented. This paper examines the impact of various property and labor rights laws on women\u27s property and income growth as well as their rise in various occupations from 1850 to 1870. This especially focuses on married women\u27s property acts, earnings laws, and sole trader laws on women\u27s economic liberation through this time.
Prior to the 1870s, there is a lack of national data on women\u27s economic status, with existing case studies often limited to specific states or industries. Theoretical discussions clarify the importance of property rights in women’s economic participation, with laws enabling women to hold property being directly correlated with increased market engagement. Married women’s property acts are predicted to positively influence labor force participation rates by providing greater economic autonomy.
Using a two-way fixed effects difference-in-difference model, this project analyzes data from the IPUMS Full Count census for 1850, 1860, and 1870, encompassing 48 states. Four models assess the impact of property laws on women\u27s real property holdings, labor force participation, household types, and real property values.
By quantifying the impact of various legal reforms on women\u27s economic empowerment, this project fills a gap in the understanding of the intersection between law, society, and women\u27s economic agency during a transformative period in pre-industrial American history. These impacts can implicate the effectiveness of legislative measures in advancing gender equality and economic mobility in the modern day.
Ultimately, my findings showed that none of these laws impacted women’s real property values or overall labor force participation rates with statistical significance. Married women’s property acts did have significant impacts on overall unemployment, lowering unemployment in states which passed the law. Sole trader laws, similarly, increased the number of women in trade professions in a statistically significant manner in states where the law was passed. States which passed married women’s property acts were more likely to have women living in family households and less likely to live in non-family households. States which passed sole trader laws saw the opposite effects in household preferences. Earnings acts were not effective across any models
Recommendations for Developing a Regulatory Sandbox and a Comprehensive Legal Framework for Fintech in Vietnam - Part I
No full textFintech, a product of the 4.0 revolution, has experienced rapid growth in Vietnam, attracting significant attention from investors and government agencies. In encouraging innovation, the authors write, the need for a practical legal framework to regulate fintech activities has become a critical issue. The authors believe that this new legal framework should include a regulatory sandbox, which would allow fintech startups to test their products in a controlled environment, helping to mitigate risks, foster creativity, and enhance regulatory oversight. This two-part article discusses challenges in creating and implementing a regulatory sandbox and provides recommendations for overcoming these hurdles. This first part examines Vietnam’s fintech environment and proposes a fintech regulatory sandbox for Vietnam
