Characterizing Secondary Flow Structures Over Scaled Solar Arrays And Investigating Impact Of System Yaw Angle, Katie Nicole Taylor

Dissertations and Theses

This study investigates Prandtl's secondary flows of the second kind within the turbulent boundary layer over a newly defined type of surface roughness, e-type, which is characterized by roughness elements that are elevated from the wall. This e- type roughness is modeled after photovoltaic (PV) solar panels and its study driven by establishing a more robust understanding into how flow moves through solar arrays as the demand for renewable energy continues to grow.

Wind tunnel experiments using particle image velocimetry (PIV) were conducted over a scaled array of panels and explored how shifting the yaw angle of the …

Direct Numerical Simulation Of Unstably Stratified Turbulent Flow Over Riblets, Max Eltzroth

Dissertations and Theses

Riblets are micro-groove elements which can reduce the skin friction drag coefficient for wall-, channel-, and pipe-flows. It is unclear how robust these drag-reduction capabilities are when external forces are acting on the fluid and affecting turbulent structures. Here, buoyancy forces are introduced by varying the wall Richardson number (Riτ = 0, 18, 60) to create unstable stratification. Direct numerical simulations (DNS) are performed on streamwise-aligned riblets of triangular and bladed geometries in a horizontal half-channel pressure-driven turbulent flow (Re_τ = 395). The Fukagata-Iwamoto-Kasagi (FIK) identity is used to decompose how changes in stresses contribute to changes …

Generative Techniques In "The Third Man," For Fretless Electric Guitar And Electronics, Adam James Wilson

Publications and Research

“The Third Man” is the latest in a series of pieces, spanning fifteen years of iteration, for solo fretless guitar and “automatic improvisation” software. Prior works in the series have been performed throughout the United States, many of them at the New York City Electroacoustic Improvisation Summit between 2016 and 2024. The author serves as the principal performer/composer and programmer of this and prior works, which has enabled the progressive refinement of generative techniques to support very personal compositional aesthetics and performance practices. Setting aside the stylistic idiosyncrasies they serve, details of the relatively simple generative techniques used in “The …

Health Systems Responsiveness In Low And Middle-Income Countries (L&Mics): Revisiting Its Scope, Meesha Iqbal, Robert Morgan, Cici Bauer, Cecilia Ganduglia Cazaban, Sameen Siddiqi

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

Introduction: Health systems responsiveness (HSR) addresses the legitimate non-health expectations of the population and plays a vital role in strengthening health systems and enhancing population health. Identifying specific constructs or domains within HSR is particularly important in the context of low and middle-income countries (L&MICs) to facilitate targeted improvement. Following a comprehensive systematic review of the literature, we developed a conceptual framework for HSR. This study was designed to validate our proposed framework through a Delphi process.

Methods: Global HSR experts were contacted via email to participate in the study, and a copy of the proposed framework (12 domains, 53 …

Details Matter: Getting People Involved, Cheryl A. Burkhart-Kriesel

Cornhusker Economics

Sometimes getting people into the habit of community participation can be a bit challenging, but two aspects can help make this a little easier. The first is to make sure that there are no organizational barriers in participating, and the second is to realize that community participation happens on several levels and that each level has certain expectations. When these expectations are clearly stated, people are more easily motivated to get involved and stay involved.

Setting up engagement from the beginning requires thought and attention to detail. It can be insignificant things, like choosing a date or picking a location, …

Longitudinal Associations Of Epigenetic Aging With Cognitive Aging In Hispanic/Latino Adults From The Hispanic Community Health Study/Study Of Latinos, Myriam Fornage, Wassim Tarraf, Rui Xia, Adriana Ordonez, Tamar Sofer, Freddie Márquez, Bharat Thyagarajan, Gregory A Talavera, Linda C Gallo, Charles Decarli, Hector M González

The Brown Foundation: Institute of Molecular Medicine

Due to the paucity of longitudinal DNA methylation data (DNAm), especially among Hispanic/Latino adults, the association between changes in epigenetic clocks over time and cognitive aging phenotypes has not been investigated. This longitudinal study included 2671 Hispanic/Latino adults (57 years; 66% women) with blood DNAm data and neurocognitive function assessed at two visits ~7 years apart. We evaluated the associations of 5 epigenetic clocks and their between-visit change with multiple measures of cognitive aging that included a global and domain-specific cognitive function score at each visit, between-visit change in global and domain-specific cognitive function score, and MCI diagnosis at visit …

The "Secret Of Seven Stones": Short-Term Efficacy Of An Online Intergenerational Sexual Health Education Game For Early Adolescents And Their Parents, Ross Shegog, Christine Markham, Melissa Peskin, Robert C Addy, Sara Dube, Diane Santa Maria, Susan Tortolero Emery, Johnny M Wilkerson, Elizabeth Baumler, Laura Armistead, Pooja Chaudhary, Hsing-Yi Song, Angela Spencer, Jeffery Mclaughlin

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

Objectives: Intergenerational games offer a potential channel to impact parent-youth sexual health communication. The "Secret of Seven Stones" (SSS) is an 18-level online adventure game and parent website designed to engage parents and youth (11-14 years) in conversations about healthy dating relationships and sexual behavior and to provide sexual health skills training to youth. Study hypotheses were that SSS exposure would increase sexual health parent-child communication, increase youth intentions to delay sexual debut, and reduce youth exposure to situations that promote sexual activity.

Materials and Methods: SSS was evaluated in the homes of parent-youth dyads randomly assigned to intervention ( …

Bearing Witness: Témoignage As A Tool For Child Advocacy During Armed Conflict., Anik Patel, Amber Alayyan, Heather A. Haq, Parminder S. Suchdev, Naji Hattar, Jeffrey Goldhagen, David J. Schonfeld, Tanya Haj-Hassan, Lia Harris, Seema Jilani, Ayesha Kadir, Paul H. Wise, Lisa Umphrey

Manuscripts, Articles, Book Chapters and Other Papers

Children affected by armed conflict suffer devastating physical, emotional, and social harm. War uproots families, forcing many to flee as refugees or internally displaced persons, while others remain trapped in dangerous environments. In these crises, children face disproportionate risks-violence, exploitation, disrupted education, and collapsed healthcare systems. Their unique vulnerabilities require urgent, targeted action to protect their health, rights, and development. Beyond immediate care, the humanitarian principle of témoignage-bearing witness-is essential. Rooted in humanitarian ethics, témoignage means speaking out about injustice, amplifying the voices of those affected, and driving systemic change. It challenges traditional notions of neutrality and calls on humanitarian …

“Ni Hao” At The Southern Border: Crafting The U.S. Policy Response To The Post-Pandemic Cohort Of Chinese Migrants, Wei Luo

The Scholar: St. Mary's Law Review on Race and Social Justice

Undocumented migrants feature prominently in modern American politics. One group of migrants, however, has drawn relatively little attention—those from the People’s Republic of China. Leading up to the 2024 election, Chinese migrants were the fastest growing group of migrants entering from the U.S.-Mexico border. This Article proposes that U.S. policymakers take a three-prong approach to responding to Chinese migrants who have entered the country in recent years or who may enter in the future. First, use asylum law as an instrument of U.S. foreign policy and grant asylum to Chinese migrants in numbers appropriate to advance America’s national interest in …

The Unamerican Dream: Breaking The Barriers Of Standardized Testing For Ell Students In A Post-Affirmative Action Era, Laura Rua

The Scholar: St. Mary's Law Review on Race and Social Justice

This comment examines the impact of standardized testing on English Language Learners (ELL) in K–12 education. It explores the complexities and challenges these students face, including language barriers and cultural differences, which can significantly influence their test performance and educational outcomes. By analyzing existing research and legal frameworks, this comment assesses shortcomings of bilingual education in Texas and its under-preparation for ELL students to take standardized testing and whether current testing practices adequately accommodate the needs of ELL students.Ultimately, this comment proposes policy recommendations aimed at promoting fair and equitable assessment practices in bilingual education for K–12 ELL students.

Your Turn Texas: A Failed Bill For Conviction Integrity Units And Funding, Jasmine Silva

The Scholar: St. Mary's Law Review on Race and Social Justice

This comment reviews the history and consequences of wrongful convictions, explores the proposed Conviction Integrity Act of 2021, and scrutinizes Texas's role in exonerations. The root of wrongful convictions depends on various factors. However, the slow overturn of wrongful convictions largely depends on the lack of funding conviction integrity units and innocence organizations receive. The devastating truth is that there are many known wrongfully incarcerated persons sitting in prison because of the amount of funds necessary to reinvestigate a possible exoneration. This comment walks through the Conviction Integrity Act of 2021, a bill proposed by Senator Klobuchar and Senator Cornyn, …

Developing Workflows For Passive Acoustic Detection Of Bedload Transport, Quinn Morgan

Dissertations and Theses

Bedload transport is defined as the amount of sediment, including gravel and rocks, traveling down stream. Monitoring bedload transport is important for river safety, hydrological studies and conservation efforts. Existing methods of directly measuring bedload transport (or bedload flux) involve lowering a collection device into a river and measuring the sediment collected; which can be expensive and time consuming. Hydroacoustic sensors, such as hydrophones, have had success tracking bedload flux remotely. This works by measuring the relatively high frequency of sediment impacts to map onto total bedload transported. No perfected method for detection of sediment generated noise (SGN) currently exists. …

The aim of this study is to determine the stress and wellbeing of the staff involved in dental education and identify any …

Barriers Beyond Bars: Examining Experiences Of Students With Criminal Records, Anakin Rivera Ramirez

Dissertations and Theses

As educational opportunities, particularly prison education programs, continue to expand for incarcerated individuals, this study, which included two participants, one formerly incarcerated and one who pleaded guilty to avoid incarceration, suggests that those who plead guilty to avoid prison may enter college without the structured reintegration resources available to their incarcerated peers. While substantial research has explored the school-to-prison pipeline phenomenon in K-12 settings, fewer studies have examined its impact on students with criminal records navigating higher education. Grounded in Critical Race Theory (CRT) in education, this study seeks to understand the experiences of carceral system-impacted students of color in …

At Stake In Each Other’S Company: A Systems View Of Compassion Fatigue In Mental Health Work, Susan S. Standen

Journal of Conscious Evolution

Traditional research on the phenomenon of compassion fatigue (CF) in mental health work tends to include recommendations for workers to build skills in psychological detachment and self-care. This puts the burden of coping with vicarious trauma on the individual caregiver, not on the systems they operate within. Alternatively, a transformative systemic perspective suggests that Western cultural assumptions about care-giving and individual resilience need to be reassessed. By broadening the exploration of CF and comparing it with human reactions to overwhelming crises across fields and disciplines, new questions can be asked, and new solutions can be proposed. This essay details how …

Wellington V. Lucien

All Decisions

A landlord's motion to amend a petition to correct a misdescription of the premises was denied, leading to the dismissal of the holdover case. The court found that the misdescription, a violation of RPAPL § 741(3), was a fatal jurisdictional defect that could not be corrected, even though the parties had previously stipulated to a final judgment of possession. The tenant's cross-motion for harassment was also denied without prejudice, with the court advising the tenant to seek relief in a separate HP action, as the prior two-attorney stipulation of settlement had not addressed the harassment claims. The ruling highlights that …

Matter Of 145 Driggs, Llc V. New York State Div. Of Hous. & Community Renewal

All Decisions

The Appellate Division affirmed a lower court's judgment that upheld a DHCR determination in favor of a tenant in a rent overcharge proceeding. The court found that DHCR acted rationally in granting the tenant's complaint despite having previously denied a similar complaint from a prior tenant. The court held that the landlord's argument for deregulation was properly rejected and that the rent overcharge complaint was valid. The landlord's petition was denied, and the proceeding was dismissed.
