San Francisco After The Cherry Blossom Festival April 21st, 2019, Tanner Johnston

.RAW Journal of Art and Design

A rare day off from work and one impulsive three and a half hour drive later and I found myself in San Francisco. The crowds at the Cherry Blossom Festival were immense and the parade and pop- up shops were fun, but only once the sun began to set and I had left Japantown to explore the rest of the city did I find scenes that truly attracted my eye.

Aloe, Anther, Horned Poppy

My favorite things to photograph are things found in nature. I strive to capture the simple beauty of the natural world and like to focus on small details that at first glance may go unnoticed. For this project, I decided to take my camera and a macro lens to the botanical gardens to capture the naturally occurring abstract forms found in nature.

Act Drop

I have been working with themes of white consumption of black suffering in regards to American history. In this work, I wanted to defamiliarize the stage and help viewers understand the ways …

Athlete Portrait Series, Ian Pearman

.RAW Journal of Art and Design

These are a few photos of some athletes I got to work with in my time at Cal Poly. I took this opportunity to shoot these athletes in a studio, rather than in the outdoors where I usually capture them in action.

Village Royalty, 2018, Oil Pastel, 11”x17”

Inspired by the colorful lights emitted from the flames of candles during Hanukkah. What may seem as a simple tradition in any religion, culture, or family is cherished for those who keep those traditions. For Hanukkah, lighting the candles is a tradition and ritual that is precious to those who observe the holiday.

Reformation of a Generation, 2017, oil on canvas, 36”x24”

With each generation, the newest learn from the previous. This painting draws details from the changing era as it is handed down. The figures draw detail from my earlier works and are …

Everything All At Once & Fleurir, Mary Maclane, Lindsey Schiffman

.RAW Journal of Art and Design

Everything All At Once

Lessons I’ve learned lately: enjoy your problems, crafting is the best form of stress relief, and the weirder, the better.

Fleurir

I feel so inspired by the makers in our community. As a photographer, I love collaborating with local artisans to take photos that not only show off their products but also resonate with who they are as humans. This shoot with Fleurir Goods was inspired by earth, craft, and sisterhood.

Graceful, Elvis Li

.RAW Journal of Art and Design

As the year comes to an end, I wanted to finish with one last project us- ing extremely soft lighting, which is what I am not as comfortable with. I am pleased with the way these came out because the images evoke a sense of delicacy and purity. Thank you Cal Poly for these 4 years of learning and self-realization.

Adventure Awaits & Sugar, Spice & Everything Nice, Ruby Loew, Haley Vanbaale

.RAW Journal of Art and Design

Adventure Awaits

These photos were taken on my vacation to Hawaii. Upon taking a heli- copter ride I got to see where lava was once flowing, but where it now sits dormant, still steaming and red. Along a winding narrow road we came upon what is called the “Grand Canyon of Hawaii,” which is full of deep slots in the hill sides and marvelous views of land stretching to the ocean. The nature of these beautiful islands will never cease to amaze me.

Space Telescope And Optical Reverberation Mapping Project. Xii. Broad-Line Region Modeling Of Ngc 5548, P. R. Williams, A. Pancoast, T. Treu, B.J. Brewer, Vardha N. Bennert, Y. Zu

Physics

We present geometric and dynamical modeling of the broad line region (BLR) for the multi-wavelength reverberation mapping campaign focused on NGC 5548 in 2014. The data set includes photometric and spectroscopic monitoring in the optical and ultraviolet, covering the Hβ, C iv, and Lyα broad emission lines. We find an extended disk-like Hβ BLR with a mixture of near-circular and outflowing gas trajectories, while the C iv and Lyα BLRs are much less extended and resemble shell-like structures. There is clear radial structure in the BLR, with C iv and Lyα emission arising at …

Guidelines For Implementing Modem: An Open-Source, Matlab-Based Digital Image Correlation Software, Ryan Schwartz

Architectural Engineering

MODEM is an open-source, MATLAB-based digital image correlation (DIC) program that was developed at the University of Auckland for small-scale testing of flexible materials. Structural engineering researchers at both the University of Auckland and Cal Poly – San Luis Obispo wanted to expand the uses of the program to study the seismic response of large-scale test specimens. This guide document describes how to implement DIC using MODEM, including the hardware and software needed to run an experiment as well as data collection and post-processing procedures for the program. Additionally, this document includes a case study focusing on a DIC test …

Course Design For Quality Online Education: Effective Strategies From The Viewpoint Of Undergraduate Teaching Assistants, Cassady E. Healy, Jackson D. Stayner, Jafra Thomas

Kinesiology and Public Health

In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic forced colleges and universities to suddenly transition to a mostly-to-fully online teaching format. Given the nature of the transition and general reservations about online instruction, many were concerned educational quality and achievement would be compromised by large margins. We sought to determine what course design features, if any, helped support undergraduate educational achievement during a sudden transition to 100% online instruction. We addressed our research aim using adapted principles for reflexive thematic analysis, the discernment of ways to interpret data using diverse perspectives and the critique of assumptions (RWJ Foundation, 2008). Following instructor request (JDT), …

Positive Parenting Approaches And Their Association With Child Eating And Weight: A Narrative Review From Infancy To Adolescence, Katherine N. Balantekin, Stephanie Anzman-Frasca, Lori A. Francis, Alison K. Ventura, Jennifer O. Fisher, Susan L. Johnson

Kinesiology and Public Health

Parents play a critical role in the development of children's eating behaviours and weight status, serving as providers, models and regulators of the food environment. Many research reviews have focused on the robust body of evidence on coercive control in feeding: how parenting practices such as restriction and pressure to eat increase children's risk for developing undesirable eating behaviours and unhealthy weight outcomes. Fewer reviews adopt a strengths-based perspective focusing on the ways that parents can actively support the development of healthy eating behaviours and weight trajectories. Emerging research on such positive parenting styles and practices offers solutions beyond the …

Optimal Parameter Values For Accurate And Repeatable Nanoindentation Of Human Trabecular Bone, Stephen Matthew Kmak

Master's Theses

Nanoindentation techniques have not been standardized for use on bone tissues, making comparison of bone material properties obtained via nanoindentation across studies difficult and unreliable. This study determined a set of optimal parameter values for thermal drift correction time, dwell time, and loading rate that can be used to obtain accurate and repeatable material properties from human femoral trabecular bone through experimentation and statistical analysis. All testing was conducted using a single nanoindenter on a single trabeculae, with the assumption that material properties within the individual trabeculae were internally consistent. Parameters not of interest during this study, such as ambient …

Large-Scale Erosion Driven By Intertidal Eelgrass Loss In An Estuarine Environment, Ryan K. Walter, Jennifer K. O'Leary, Sean Vitousek, Mohsen Taherkhani, Carolyn Geraghty, Ann Kitajima

Physics

Seagrasses influence local hydrodynamics by inducing drag on the flow and dampening near-bed velocities and wave energy. When seagrasses are lost, near-bed currents and wave energy can increase, which enhances bottom shear stresses, destabilizes sediment, and promotes suspension and erosion. Though seagrasses are being lost rapidly globally, the magnitude of change in sediment stabilization following ecosystem-wide eelgrass loss has rarely been measured. In this study, we explored the geomorphological changes associated with an unprecedented estuary-wide collapse of a seagrass (eelgrass, Zostera marina) in Morro Bay, CA, USA. Morro Bay has historically suffered from accelerated sedimentation and accretion. However, following …
