Fitz Hall’s Black Box Theatre & Live-Streamed

The night after a queer bar outside of Tampa, Florida is vandalized, three twenty-something bartenders gather to grieve, rage, and above all, piece together the events of the night before. Fiery and poetic, Laced ferociously celebrates the spaces in which we find our truest selves. In a time of renewed culture wars against queer youth, this play centers the voices of those intersectional identities we should be listening to now.

Using Hyper-Dimensional Spanning Trees To Improve Structure Preservation During Dimensionality Reduction, Curtis Thomas Davis

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Understanding relations in hyper-dimensional data is a prevalent problem, which is often approached by using dimensionality reduction. The structure preserved from the original data is often dependent on the type of dimension reduction algorithm used, and it can produce results that vary substantially from one another. Visualizing hyper-dimensional data helps to understand the data, but it presents a problem, as our visualizations rely upon two or three-dimensional displays. Current dimension reduction methods, used to reduce hyper-dimensional data to low-dimensional data, often produce results that fail to preserve the structure as the complexity of the data increases. This reduction in dimension …

The Acoustic Cavity Mode And The Effects Of Modal Coupling And Rotation On Force Transmission To The Hub, Rui Cao, Won Hong Choi, J Stuart Bolton

Publications of the Ray W. Herrick Laboratories

Concerns about tire noise radiation arise partly from city traffic planning, environmental protection and pedestrian safety standpoints, while from the vehicle passengers' perspective, noise transmitted to the vehicle interior is more important. It is the latter concern that is addressed in this presentation. In particular, a tire’s internal, acoustical cavity resonance contributes significantly to tire-related structure-borne noise near 200 Hz, and it can easily be perceived by passengers. That acoustic mode can be suppressed by adding an absorptive lining to the tire’s interior. However, apart from the additional cost and weight of such tires, there are concerns with durability, and …

Pairing Experimental And Mathematical Modeling Studies On Fluidized Beds For Enhancement Of Models Predictive Quality: A Current Status Overview, Sebastián Uribe, Muthanna H. Al-Dahhan

Chemical and Biochemical Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

Modeling of gas-solid fluidized systems has been a prevailing challenge over the last few decades. With different approaches and implementing different sub-models to capture the essential multiphase and multiscale phenomena in these systems, major advances have been achieved, even though most models are only subject to a practical validation of macroscopic parameters. The current description of fluidized beds through mathematical models relies on the inclusion of vast sub-models, leading to an unquantifiable degree of uncertainty on the models' applicability for extrapolation studies. Furthermore, each closure and fitting parameter in the model represents a possible source of deviation, and their optimization, …

Rewriting Our Nation's Deadly Traffic Manual, Sara C. Bronin, Gregory H. Shill

Cornell Law Faculty Publications

Every day, Americans entrust their lives to a road system that is governed by the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices for Streets and Highways (the Manual). On its face, this Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) publication is a straightforward technical document. It contains over eight hundred pages of engineering guidance on everything from traffic-light placement to the font of highway signs. It also establishes acceptable methods for officials to modify speed limits.

While such provisions may sound inconsequential, some of the Manual’s provisions have far-reaching, even deadly, consequences. They prioritize vehicular speed over public safety, mobility over other uses of …

A Reduced-Order Lumped Model For Li-Ion Battery Packs During Operation, Paul T. Coman, Eric C. Darcy, Brad Strangways, Ralph E. White

Faculty Publications

Modeling heat distribution in Li-ion battery packs can be challenging, especially if the battery pack is large and the cells are operated at high C-rates, which usually requires high-order physics-based mathematical models. Reduced and simplifying models can, however, be used at lower rates. This paper presents a fast novel reduced lumped model (RLM) that can be used to calculate the temperature increase during the high-current discharge of cylindrical Li-ion cells in a subscale of a battery pack. By reducing the PDE utilized to calculate the state of charge (SoC) to ODE's and solving them analytically, the reduced model can be …

Systematic Evaluation Of A Novel Self-Healing Poly(Acrylamide-Co-Vinyl Acetate)/Alginate Polymer Gel For Fluid Flow Control In High Temperature And High Salinity Reservoirs, Jingyang Pu, Baojun Bai, Thomas P. Schuman

Geosciences and Geological and Petroleum Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

Preferential fluid flow often occurs when water and CO₂ is injected into mature oilfields, sig-nificantly reducing their injection efficiency. Particle gels have been evaluated and applied to control the short circulation problems. This study systematically investigated a novel poly(acrylamide-co-vinyl acetate)/alginate-based interpenetrated gel system (Alg-IPNG) which is designed to control the preferential fluid flow problems in high-temperature reservoirs. Chromium acetate was incorporated into the gel system to provide the delayed crosslinking feature of the particle gels. The alginate polymer system can also take advantage of the Ca²⁺ ions in the formation water, which exist in most reservoirs, to reinforce …

The Young Black Girl: A Narration Of Stem Identity Through Science Origin In Elementary School, Heather F. Lavender

LSU Doctoral Dissertations

An ethnographic qualitative case study was conducted by examining the perceptions of two 5^th grade Black girls at an independent school about their involvement with school science, the impact of race and gender towards their perception, and the influence of teachers, peers, and family on their science identity. Black girls are often relegated to outsider status within the classroom, lacking power and authority, which results in Black girls being denied a rightful presence in their learning community (Dumas & Ross, 2016). Additionally, their presence in STEM careers does not reflect their presence nationwide (Graves et al., 2014). The proposed …
