Geospatial Interpolation Of Soil Depth In The Magic Valley: Benefits And Pitfalls Of Using Public Data, Akira Byrne, Dylan Thompson, Skyler Barzee, Sophia Huber, Scott Robbins, Jisong Ryu, Robert Welle, Jen Pierce, David Huber Apr 2024

Geospatial Interpolation Of Soil Depth In The Magic Valley: Benefits And Pitfalls Of Using Public Data, Akira Byrne, Dylan Thompson, Skyler Barzee, Sophia Huber, Scott Robbins, Jisong Ryu, Robert Welle, Jen Pierce, David Huber

2024 Undergraduate Research Showcase

This project aims to create a map of soil depth in the Magic Valley area. Soil depth is a crucial variable in estimating soil carbon storage. Surveying the entire valley in person would be expensive and inefficient. This study aims to generate a usable data product using preexisting and publicly available data without the need for a field survey. The Idaho Department of Water Resources (IDWR) hosts well drilling logs for every groundwater well in Idaho. The drilling logs contain lithologic data including soil depth. We have begun research to estimate soil depth by downloading and extracting soil depth point …


Will The Oecd’S Two-Pillar Solution Better The Global Economy?, Joon Young Lim Apr 2024

Will The Oecd’S Two-Pillar Solution Better The Global Economy?, Joon Young Lim

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights and Social Justice (ERSJ) Blog

There has been a massive tax competition among international society for the last couple of decades. Between 1985 and 2018, the global average statutory corporate tax rate fell from 49% to 24%. Some countries competed as tax havens and presented extremely low tax rates to foreign corporations which resulted in multinational enterprises (“MNEs”) shifting “close to 40%” of profits to tax havens. This raised concerns that such a trend is a “race to the bottom” where tax havens will have minimal tax revenue due to such low tax rates whereby MNEs pay less and less tax. During the same period, …


Discrimination In Incarceration: Incarcerated People Litigate To Witness The Solar Eclipse In New York, Mitchell Kevett Apr 2024

Discrimination In Incarceration: Incarcerated People Litigate To Witness The Solar Eclipse In New York, Mitchell Kevett

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights and Social Justice (ERSJ) Blog

The rights of incarcerated people have been historically overlooked and ignored in the United States, and this must change. It is critical for incarcerated people to be able to access and protect their rights because they are often exploited for free labor and receive little resources with which they can maintain their rights, which is part of what led the United Nations to issue a report finding that the United States has the “worst version of a racist criminal legal system.” Lawsuits and lobbying are two major means of expanding and protecting the rights of incarcerated people. In New York, …

An Ethnography Of Permaculture In Southwest Michigan, Lily Burke Apr 2024

An Ethnography Of Permaculture In Southwest Michigan, Lily Burke

Honors Theses

Permaculture is a holistic design system for meeting human and environmental needs in a sustainable way, using local conditions and circumstances to shape land use and food production practices. My project questions what it means to practice permaculture in southwest Michigan, and how environmental ideological commitments can translate into action and practice. Ethnographically investigating these questions through semi-structured interviews and participant observation with individuals in the permaculture community, along with extensive reading of permaculture materials, my study adds to research on applications and adoptions of permaculture in suburban contexts, and sheds light on how ecological ideological commitments can translate into …


Skidmore Air Vent: Understanding Vent Characteristics To Propose Redesign Solutions, Christopher Inae, Shane Gaban Apr 2024

Skidmore Air Vent: Understanding Vent Characteristics To Propose Redesign Solutions, Christopher Inae, Shane Gaban

Honors Theses

Skidmore Pump is a company that manufactures air vents for the purpose of automatically relieving air from steam main lines. Steam vents are a vital part to any steam distribution system, as they are able to vent out air in the midst of a steady flow of steam. The presence of air can pose a problem in steam systems, as it is a non-condensable gas. In some systems, a neglect to remove air will reduce the efficiency of heat transfer, as the air will cause a stagnant film to reside around critical locations of heat transfer. In Skidmore’s Main Vent …


The Tax Cuts And Jobs Act And The Increase Of Stock Buybacks, Ruben Colon Apr 2024

The Tax Cuts And Jobs Act And The Increase Of Stock Buybacks, Ruben Colon

Honors Theses

In 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) decreased the corporate tax rate from thirty-five (35) percent to twenty-one (21) percent. In addition, the TCJA imposed a one-time tax on liquid and fixed assets held off-shore at fifteen-point five (15.5) percent and eight (8) percent, respectively, paid over eight (8) years, by awarding essentially an interest-free loan, creating an incentive for corporations in the United States to repatriate their offshore cash. This research investigates how the TCJA impacted corporate government tax revenue (CGTR), how corporations used the cash gained from the corporate tax rate decrease, whether the decrease in …

Interpreting English-Medium Instruction In Affiliated Colleges In India From A Third Space Perspective, Matthew A. Witenstein Apr 2024

Interpreting English-Medium Instruction In Affiliated Colleges In India From A Third Space Perspective, Matthew A. Witenstein

Thomas C. Hunt Building a Research Community Day

English-medium instruction (EMI) as a global phenomenon continues to rapidly grow in non-native English-speaking countries (Dang et al. 2021). In Asia, evidence of this growth can be inferred by the sheer number of EMI-centered journal articles and edited volumes (Barnard and Hasim 2018; Fenton-Smith et al. 2017). I focus this study on affiliated colleges in India, where EMI interests reflect the aforementioned. Organizationally, the Indian higher education system is based on University of London’s federal university (Singh, 2003) where universities provide central functions like curricular and exam development and degree conferral. Colleges affiliated to them contain nearly 90% of the …

With Great Power: A Content Analysis Of Masculinities And Appearance-Related Themes In The Marvel Cinematic Universe, Ryan Maxim

Honors Program Theses and Projects

Comic book characters and superheroes have served as Hollywood’s biggest cash cow of the last two decades, dominating box office records, over-saturating the release schedules of major movie studios, and influencing the cultural consciousness in a way that is historically unprecedented. The most notable and financially successful example of this trend can be seen in the form of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), a franchise that has grossed an estimated $29.8 billion in box office revenue since its inception in 2008. Due to their immense popularity and global reach, superhero characters serve as role models for young boys and adult …

Quality, Meaningful Educational Experiences: An Autobiographical Study Of Teaching And Learning Algebra 1, Marya Ray

Curriculum and Instruction (Ed.D.) Dissertations

This autobiographical study of teaching and learning Algebra 1 was developed to examine classroom experiences through the lens of the researcher and to explore the perceptions of teachers and students involved in the study. The goal was to identify the quality, meaningful educational experiences in the classroom which led to the development of algebraic thinking and self-efficacy among students who previously demonstrated a struggle to learn mathematics.

Rainbows Around The Throne: Theological Aesthetics In Evangelism To Same-Sex Attracted Men, Austin Tucker Kemp Apr 2024

Rainbows Around The Throne: Theological Aesthetics In Evangelism To Same-Sex Attracted Men, Austin Tucker Kemp

Senior Honors Theses

Cultural barriers and worldview differences between American evangelicalism and the LGBTQ+ movement have historically hindered evangelism to same-sex attracted men. Although recent Christian theologians have offered wisdom for including same-sex attracted believers in the church and for combating prevailing secular worldviews, evangelistic strategies to reach gay unbelievers remain underdeveloped. This thesis identifies five desires common within the population of same-sex attracted men (beauty, friendship, romance, sexuality, and masculinity) and proposes a method of evangelism which targets these desires using theological aesthetics to communicate the beauty of the gospel creatively and compellingly. A focus on aesthetic apologetics, aesthetic community, and aesthetic …

A Further Performance Comparison Of Operations In The File System And In Embedded Key-Value Databases, Nicholas Cunningham Apr 2024

A Further Performance Comparison Of Operations In The File System And In Embedded Key-Value Databases, Nicholas Cunningham

MS in Computer Science Project Reports

A routine scenario when developing PC applications is storing data in small files or records and then retrieving and manipulating that data with a distinctive identifier (ID). In these scenarios, the developer can save the records using the ID as the filename or use an embedded on-disk key-value database. However, many file systems can have performance issues when handling many small files. As a result, developers would rather avoid depending on an embedded database if it offers little benefit or has a detrimental effect on performance for their use case. Our contribution is to compare several key-value databases—SQlite3, LevelDB, RocksDB, …
