Puerto Rico: State Formation In A Colonial Context, Pedro Caban

Latin American, Caribbean, and U.S. Latino Studies Faculty Scholarship

Using Gis For Forest Recreation Planning On The Longleaf Ridge Special Area Of The Angelina National Forest, East Texas, I-Kuai Hung

Faculty Publications

Longleaf Ridge Special Area (LRSA) located in the Angelina National Forest is the westernmost example of a longleaf pine savanna community. Ecologically, the area is one of the most diverse communities in Texas. Due to its size, abundant natural and historical resources, numerous outdoor recreation opportunities exist. In this study, GIS was used to develop a forest recreation concept plan on LRSA. Most of the geospatial data came from public entities. Information for demand analysis on forest recreation was obtained from the 2000 National Survey on Recreation and the Environment database. U.S. Forest Service recreation fee envelope data were analyzed …

Predicting The Readability Of Transparent Text, Lauren F. V. Scharff, Albert J. Ahumada Jr.

Faculty Publications

Will a simple global masking model based on image detection be successful at predicting the readability of transparent text? Text readability was measured for two types of transparent text: additive (as occurs in head-up displays) and multiplicative (which occurs in see-through liquid crystal display virtual reality displays). Text contrast and background texture were manipulated. Data from two previous experiments were also included (one using very low contrasts on plain backgrounds, and the other using higher-contrast opaque text on both plain and textured backgrounds). All variables influenced readability in at least an interactive manner. When there were background textures, the global …

The purpose of the study was to investigate the interaction between pain, pain behavior, anxiety, and muscle tension during electrodiagnosis, and to examine the anxiolytic and pain-relieving effects of traditional Chinese music. Two measuring tools, including electrodiagnosis pain behavior checklist (EPBC) and electromyography muscle tension scale (EMTS) were developed to objectively assess the subject's pain and muscle tension, respectively. Sixty-one patients were included in this study and were randomly divided into background music group and control group. EPBC and EMTS were concurrently measured during electrodiagnosis, which consisted of nerve conduction velocity and electromyography (EMG) studies. Linear analog anxiety scale (LAAS) …
