Fort Lowell Park master plan
No full textabstract: Fort Lowell was a supply base for the United States Army “Apache Campaigns” between 1873 and 1891. Following abandonment of the fort in 1891, settlers moved in and used some fort buildings as residences, or stripped the buildings of useful materials. By the 1930s, much of the fort had fallen into disrepair or had been sold off. Eventually, the City of Tucson acquired a large portion of the old fort which became what is today’s “Fort Lowell Park.” A 5.2 acre (“Adkins”) parcel of the former fort containing several original adobe buildings was still in private ownership, and the 2004 County bond election passed a proposal to acquire the land and preserve the historic resources
Methods for analyzing deformation of in vitro tissue models during simulated acupuncture therapy:
No full textTraditional acupuncture therapy involves insertion and manipulation of fine needles through the skin at various points of the body. Studying acupuncture therapy both in vivo and ex vivo has revealed that during needle manipulation, loose connective tissue under the skin couples and winds to the needle, producing profound deformation that could act as a mechanism for the treatment’s therapeutic benefits. In order to study this biophysical phenomenon in a controlled setting, we have constructed a simplified model of acupuncture therapy in vitro. We believe that using connective tissue models in our assay allows unique observations not permitted in previous investigations of acupuncture
therapy. Two specific goals of our in vitro assay of acupuncture therapy are: 1) Quantitatively measure the relationship between tissue parameters and the ability to respond to acupuncture therapy, and 2) Make direct observations of deformation invoked by needle manipulation. The objective of this thesis was to construct quantitative tools that allow us to perform these desired observations. We utilize various microscopy and images processing tools to extract quantitative data from our system, including polarized
light microscopy (PLM) to assess aligning extracellular matrix fibers in deforming tissue and automated tracking of displacing beads suspended within our tissue models to characterize the deformation during simulated acupuncture therapy. Our system and the
tools developed for this thesis demonstrate accuracy by corroborating with previously published research and precision by producing reliable, consistent results. These tools have allowed us to make several observations of the biophysical behavior of tissue
during acupuncture therapy and the role of mechanostructural properties in the tissue’s ability to respond to needle manipulation. In conjunction with in vivo and ex vivo research endeavors, we believe that our in vitro tools provide valuable insight towards investigating the role of tissue deformation as a mechanism for acupuncture therapy.M.S.Includes bibliographical references (p. 31-32)by Lowell Taylor Edga
Lowell foreclosure prevention program
No full textThe proposal is to create a Foreclosure Prevention Program in Lowell, Massachusetts.
The challenge facing many home owners with adjustable rate and sub prime mortgages is compounded by the current real estate market. Many home owners with these types of mortgages owe more than the property is currently worth.
Lowell enjoys great ethnic diversity. This diversity introduces increased vulnerability for many people who are not familiar with or connected with traditional lending services.
The homeowners at risk fall into three categories:
1. Those who have not yet purchased a home but are likely targets.
2. Those who have a mortgage in good standing but face increased riskas the interest rates adjust.
3. Those who have mortgages in default
This program goal is to achieve the following outcomes:
Those who have not yet purchase will be encouraged to attend an approved, pre-purchase home buyer training program.
Refinancing options will be promoted to those with risky loans that are still in good standing.
For those already in default, the creation of information resources to provide foreclosure process education and possible legal options. (Author abstract)Carvalho, F. J. (2008).
