Oral history interview with Steven Cherrington
No full textSteven Cherrington, born in 1970, participated in ROTC (Reserve Officers' Training Corps) and began his military career in 1995 with an Air Force commission. He talks about his childhood and his college days at Oklahoma State University. He describes his military training in astronautical and liquid rocket systems and his first responsibilities as an engineer. Cherrington explains how he became a pilot and then how he learned to fly helicopters. He details some of his specific experiences during his many deployments and some of the difficult challenges he faced. He mentions what life was like in some of the remote places he has traveled to, like Afghanistan and Iraq. He comments on how his service has impacted his life, especially outside of the military, and how it has changed his perspective on a lot of things. He also discusses his work with ROTC training at Oklahoma State University.The Armed Forces in Oklahoma Collection is a series of interviews with Oklahomans who have served or are serving in the United States military. This is one of several interviews conducted in 2014 by Jason Higgins, while interning with the Oklahoma Oral History Research Program, primarily focusing on post-military experiences

Connecting dynamic vegetation models to data - an inverse perspective
No full textDynamic vegetation models provide process-based explanations of the dynamics and the distribution of plant ecosystems. They offer significant advantages over static, correlative modelling approaches, particularly for ecosystems that are outside their equilibrium due to global change or climate change. A persistent problem, however, is their parameterization. Parameters and processes of dynamic vegetation models (DVMs) are traditionally determined independently of the model, while model outputs are compared to empirical data for validation and informal model comparison only. But field data for such independent estimates of parameters and processes are often difficult to obtain, and the desire to include better descriptions of processes such as biotic interactions, dispersal, phenotypic plasticity and evolution in future vegetation models aggravates limitations related to the current parameterization paradigm. In this paper, we discuss the use of Bayesian methods to bridge this gap. We explain how Bayesian methods allow direct estimates of parameters and processes, encoded in prior distributions, to be combined with inverse estimates, encoded in likelihood functions. The combination of direct and inverse estimation of parameters and processes allows a much wider range of vegetation data to be used simultaneously, including vegetation inventories, species traits, species distributions, remote sensing, eddy flux measurements and palaeorecords. The possible reduction of uncertainty regarding structure, parameters and predictions of DVMs may not only foster scientific progress, but will also increase the relevance of these models for policy advice
Dredging: A Report Detailing Dredging Activities in Eastern Burlington, Atlantic, Cape May, Cumberland, and Salem Counties
No full textThis report presents dredging activities for New Jersey's Eastern Burlington, Atlantic, Cape May, Cumberland, and Salem Counties during 1969-1979. The purpose of this study is to investigate how many permits had been issued and what the resulting spoil volume was. The author concludes that government planners, managers, engineers, and the public sector must join together to provide a realistic approach to the question of dredging and use of the resulting spoil material.The author is a District II Coordinator and a Marine Lands Inspector.Purpose: To investigate how many permits had been issued and what the resulting spoil volume was

Fluxus Experience
No full textProviding phenomenological accounts of specific artworks and events, Higgins situtates Fluxus in an holistic framework based in embodied knowledge and experience in order to better suit its reception and counter misconceptions of the movement. Higgins also traces the pluralistic reception of Fluxus in Europe and gauges its close relations with Pop and Conceptual art. The author proposes her new reading of Fluxus as a positive model for future pedagogy. Index. List of illustrations. Circa 400 bibl. ref

No full textEste documento detalla el proceso de investigación y creación llevado a cabo para el proyecto Higgins, una novela gráfica de autoría original que examina de manera crítica la relación entre los migrantes latinoamericanos y el sueño americano. A través de una narrativa ambientada en una historia alternativa, Higgins ilustra las tensiones sociales, económicas y culturales que caracterizan la experiencia migrante,
poniendo de manifiesto las contradicciones estructurales de la sociedad estadounidense y el papel subordinado que desempeñan los trabajadores latinos en ella.
Aunque la novela gráfica no se completó en su totalidad, este documento compila de manera exhaustiva el proceso de ideación, desarrollo narrativo y construcción visual del universo ficticio, así como de sus personajes y entornos.
Se propone una reflexión crítica, estética y simbólica sobre la identidad, la otredad y los imaginarios de progreso.This document details the research and creative process behind Higgins, an original graphic novel that critically examines the relationship between Latin American migrants and the American Dream.
Through a narrative set in an alternate history, Higgins illustrates the social, economic, and cultural tensions that define the migrant experience, highlighting the structural contradictions of American society and the subordinate role that Latin workers play within .
Although the graphic novel was not completed in its entirety, this document thoroughly compiles the process of ideation, narrative development, and visual construction of the fictional universe, as well as its characters and settings. It offers a critical, aesthetic, and symbolic reflection on identity, otherness, and the imaginaries of progress.Pregrad
