Double Wall Cooling Of An Effusion Plate With Simultaneous Cross Flow And Impingement Jet Array Internal Cooling, Phil Ligrani, Austin Click, David Ritchie, Federico Liberatore, Rajeshriben Patel, Yin-Hsiang Ho Dec 2019

Double Wall Cooling Of An Effusion Plate With Simultaneous Cross Flow And Impingement Jet Array Internal Cooling, Phil Ligrani, Austin Click, David Ritchie, Federico Liberatore, Rajeshriben Patel, Yin-Hsiang Ho

PRC-Affiliated Research

The present study considers comparisons of hot-side effusion plate results for a mainstream flow passage with CR = 1 and for a mainstream flow passage with CR = 4. The coolant supply arrangement for both CR contraction ratio values includes simultaneous use of cross flow and an impingement jet array. For the effusion cooled/hot surface, presented are spatially-resolved distributions of surface adiabatic film cooling effectiveness, and surface heat transfer coefficients (measured using infrared thermography). These results are given for main flow Reynolds numbers Rems of 89,900 to 95,800. For this main flow Reynolds number range, four different combination values of …

A Female's Profession: Gender Disparity In Occupational Therapy, Jodi Collins Dec 2019

A Female's Profession: Gender Disparity In Occupational Therapy, Jodi Collins

Honors Theses

Occupational therapy celebrated it’s one hundredth anniversary in becoming an established therapy in 2017. The history between 1917 and 2017 is rich with stories of origin, adaptation, and assimilation. The initial need of occupational therapy was to assist in rehabilitation efforts of soldiers assigned to combat in World War I, yet as history has unraveled, the need for the therapy has manifested and is now used on individuals of all ages and walks of life. Upon the initial creation of the therapy, females made up the entire field of then termed “reconstruction aides” due to the high number of males …


The Feasibility Of Healthy Corner Stores In Saint Louis, Chancelor Thomas Dec 2019

The Feasibility Of Healthy Corner Stores In Saint Louis, Chancelor Thomas

Theses

We analyze the success of healthy corner store initiatives within the Saint Louis area. We use ARCGIS to map and geospatial analysis understand areas of demand within Saint Louis and food deserts to determine the level of competition between successful healthy corner stores and potential alternatives. We determine that based on the concentration of alternatives that healthy corner stores in Saint Louis are insufficient and other alternative policies should be used to address food insecurity include stricter standards for EBT retailers.


You’Re The Boss: The Stereotype Content Model As A Predictive Behavioral Tool In Résumé Evaluation Processes, Caylin M. Faria Dec 2019

You’Re The Boss: The Stereotype Content Model As A Predictive Behavioral Tool In Résumé Evaluation Processes, Caylin M. Faria

Honors Program Theses and Projects

Extensive literature has confirmed that hiring discrimination is a persistent problem; less research has focused on the social cognitive mechanisms of prejudicial hiring and its effects on résumé evaluations. The present study evaluated how stereotyped evaluations of minority candidates could be predicted with the Stereotype Content Model (SCM) dimensions of warmth and competence. No published research has demonstrated how SCM group ratings may predict evaluations of individuals and their qualifications for employment. Participants evaluated two résumés for each of five listed job positions and completed a survey packet. One résumé in each pair suggested membership in a minority group: Muslim, …

Eigenvalue Continuity And Gersgorin's Theorem, Chi-Kwong Li, Fuzhen Zhang Dec 2019

Eigenvalue Continuity And Gersgorin's Theorem, Chi-Kwong Li, Fuzhen Zhang

Mathematics Faculty Articles

Two types of eigenvalue continuity are commonly used in the literature. However, their meanings and the conditions under which continuities are used are not always stated clearly. This can lead to some confusion and needs to be addressed. In this note, the Geršgorin disk theorem is revisited and the issue concerning the proofs of the theorem by continuity is clarified.


Mosquito-Borne Illnesses And Their Disproportionate Impact On Variant Infrastructures: A Gis Map Comparison Of Three Regions., Jenna N. Price Dec 2019

Mosquito-Borne Illnesses And Their Disproportionate Impact On Variant Infrastructures: A Gis Map Comparison Of Three Regions., Jenna N. Price

Honors Theses

Mosquitoes are the deadliest animals on earth and they spread diseases through their bites. Chikungunya, Dengue, Malaria, Yellow Fever, West Nile Virus, and Zika are six diseases of concern that are transmitted by mosquitoes. This honors thesis will attempt to provide relevant information and a critical analysis of current literature. Disease descriptions of the aforementioned illnesses and country evaluations for Niger, South Sudan, and the United States of America are included for comparison and evaluation. A Geographic Information System was used to create several maps comparing the three regions of the earth specified. The models are used to show country …


Detecting Tree Mortality With Landsat-Derived Spectral Indices: Improving Ecological Accuracy By Examining Uncertainty, Tucker J. Furniss, Van R. Kane, Andrew J. Larson, James A. Lutz Dec 2019

Detecting Tree Mortality With Landsat-Derived Spectral Indices: Improving Ecological Accuracy By Examining Uncertainty, Tucker J. Furniss, Van R. Kane, Andrew J. Larson, James A. Lutz

Ecology Center Publications

Satellite-derived fire severity metrics are a foundational tool used to estimate fire effects at the landscape scale. Changes in surface characteristics permit reasonably accurate delineation between burned and unburned areas, but variability in severity within burned areas is much more challenging to detect. Previous studies have relied primarily on categorical data to calibrate severity indices in terms of classification accuracy, but this approach does not readily translate into an expected amount of error in terms of actual tree mortality. We addressed this issue by examining a dataset of 40,370 geolocated trees that burned in the 2013 California Rim Fire using …

Changes In Soil Microbial Biomass, Community Composition, And Enzyme Activities After Half-Century Forest Restoration In Degraded Tropical Lands, Huiling Zhang, Xin Xiong, Jianping Wu, Jianqi Zhao, Mengdi Zhao, Guowei Chu, Dafeng Hui, Guoyi Zhou, Qi Deng, Deqiang Zhang Dec 2019

Changes In Soil Microbial Biomass, Community Composition, And Enzyme Activities After Half-Century Forest Restoration In Degraded Tropical Lands, Huiling Zhang, Xin Xiong, Jianping Wu, Jianqi Zhao, Mengdi Zhao, Guowei Chu, Dafeng Hui, Guoyi Zhou, Qi Deng, Deqiang Zhang

Biology Faculty Research

Soil carbon (C) sequestration and stabilization are determined by not only the C input to the soil but also the decomposition rate of soil organic matter (SOM), which is mainly mediated by soil microbes. Afforestation, an effective practice to restore forests from degraded or bare lands, may alter soil microbial properties, and thus soil C and nitrogen (N) dynamics. The aim of this study was to investigate the impacts of different afforestation strategies on soil microbial compositions and activities after afforestation for half a century. Soil samples were collected from two afforested sites (i.e., a restored secondary forest (RSF) and …

The June Carter Cash Catastrophe, Michele Miles Gardiner Dec 2019

The June Carter Cash Catastrophe, Michele Miles Gardiner

Erma Bombeck Writers' Workshop Blog

We called our kitten June Carter Cash. Our other cat was named Johnny. But that's not why we added the "Cash" to her name. Here's why: Not long after we adopted June, my husband, Ian, walked into the living room and found our kitten gagging. He yelled to me, "June's choking on her toy!" The toy was a fuzzy pom-pom with a string of yarn and a bell at the end. Nasty thing to be choking on.
