Methamphetamines: An Epidemic, Nicole A. Lyshorn Dec 2006

Methamphetamines: An Epidemic, Nicole A. Lyshorn

Social Sciences

Imagine you are 17 years old and locked up, again. You aren’t a murderer or rapist, you are an addict, and it’s all you have ever known. You are shaking uncontrollably, sweating profusely, seeing and hearing things that aren’t really there, vomiting, and screaming in agony. You are coming down off of one of the most addictive and destructive drugs in the world today, Meth. On the street it’s called ice, glass, crank, chalk, or crystal, to you it’s the substance that has destroyed every relationship you’ve ever had, its destroyed your family, kept you from getting your high school …

Quaternary Deposits Near The San Emigdio Mountains, California: Evidence For A Paleolandscape?, Paul G. Lavelle Nov 2006

Quaternary Deposits Near The San Emigdio Mountains, California: Evidence For A Paleolandscape?, Paul G. Lavelle

Earth and Soil Sciences

Discontinuous low-relief surfaces are scattered throughout relatively high topography within the San Emigdio Mountains, California. These surfaces are considered anomalous, as they are preserved in a dissected, mountainous region that is affected by ongoing orogeny. Previous research has suggested that the low-relief surfaces may represent a once-contiguous alluvial surface. This project utilizes field mapping and sedimentological analysis to determine if the surfaces represent a paleo landscape. What is apparent from field work is the presence of two morphologically distinct lithologic units that most likely represent surficial geologic components of the same relict landscape.

Hardware Verification Testing The Third Generation Cinic, Andrew J. Farris Mar 2006

Hardware Verification Testing The Third Generation Cinic, Andrew J. Farris

Computer Engineering

The third generation NetPRL CiNIC co-processor cards were fabricated and partially assembled during Summer 2005. Unfortunately the prototype network processing hardware was incomplete, untested, and could not yet be used by NetPRL project teams as a firmware and software development platform. This project endeavored to prepare the latest CiNIC for use in advancing iNIC related research at Cal Poly. The project began with the assembly and modifications necessary to complete the co-processor card. During assembly several manufacturability design issues were corrected or workarounds developed. Preliminary hardware verification testing was also conducted from continuity checks, power and smoke test, and hardware …
