The Design And Evaluation Of Interactivities In A Digital Library, Muniram Budhu, Anita Coleman

Faculty Publications

The US National Science Foundation has established a program to create a National Science, Mathematics, Engineering and Technology Education Digital Library (NSDL). One of the subsidiary NSDL libraries under development is the National Civil Engineering Educational Resources Library (NCERL). The first phase of NCERL is the creation and collection of digital resources in three areas of civil engineering—geotechnical (soil), rock, and water engineering (GROW). The concept of interactivities guides the design, development, and evaluation efforts of the GROW digital collection. This article describes the salient features of GROW, defines and discusses interactivities as an emerging, integral part of teaching and …

Learning And Living Difference That Makes A Difference: Postmodern Theory & Multicultural Education, Walter R. Jacobs

Faculty Publications, Sociology

The application of postmodern theory to a transformative understanding of multiculturalism can make a difference. Multicentered culture, antiessentialist race consciousness, and political equity—aspects of a transformative multiculturalism put forward in 1996 by Newfield and Gordon—can be juxtaposed with elements of a postmodern theorization of society as a consumer-driven economy saturated with multiple mediated unstable, fragmented, and evolving discourses and cultural interaction. This theoretical construct can be illustrated with research data from college classrooms and specifically an analysis of the television show The X-Files. This analysis shows how a discussion of whiteness creates larger discussion of transformative multiculturalism in which difference …

Fire Service Accessibility To East Palo Alto, Ca, Henderson Sylvester Ford Iii

Master's Projects

The general pattern of fire emergency incidents and service delivery in East Palo Alto was evaluated using CIS overlay analysis. The incident spatial distribution revealed areas with different call densities. The overall call demand was 58.58 calls per 1000 people. Low call demands were observed in partially developed neighborhoods and high call demands in mixed land use areas. The temporal pattern of fire incidents showed three peaks: 1:00-1:59 A.M., 12:00-12:59 AM. and 6:00-6:59 P.M.

Fire Engine 2, the only fire station in East Palo Alto, responded to 80 percent of the incidents, and the neighboring six stations responded to 20 …

Envisioning Neighborhoods With Tod Potential (Includes Demonstration Cd), Mti Report 01-15, Earl G. Bossard

Mineta Transportation Institute

The Mineta Transportation Institute (MTI) at San José State University conducted this study to review the issues and implications involved when seeking to Envision Neighborhoods with Transit Oriented Development (TOD) Potential. The Envisioning Neighborhoods with Transit Oriented Development (TOD) Potential project seeks to introduce planners, developers, and urban analysts to information design techniques and digital computer tools that can be used to undertake and study TOD. A basic premise is that effective TOD requires thoughtful planning to be successfully integrated into the metropolitan fabric. The primary focus of this project is intra-regional comparisons, focusing on information pertaining to the relative …
