Abstract:
In this article, I describe and reflect on the lessons learned from developing and implementing an outreach project focusing on science education and participatory mapping with adult education students, primarily immigrants from northern Mexico. As a graduate student at the University of Arizona's Department of Anthropology, with support from a NASA Space Grant Fellowship, I developed and implemented this project between August 2004 and August 2006 in southern Arizona. Due to the demographics of this area, the majority of the students with whom I worked were immigrants from the Mexican state of Sonora, which borders Arizona (see Figure 1 below).

Abstract:
Objective: The objective of this study is to examine rural hospitals' status in implementing opioid stewardship program (OSP) elements and assess differences in implementation in emergency department (ED) and acute inpatient departments. Design: Health administrator survey to identify the number and type of OSP elements that each hospital has implemented. Setting: Arizona critical access hospitals (CAHs). Participants: ED and acute inpatient department heads at 17 Arizona CAHs (total of 34 assessments). Main outcome measures: Implementation of 11 OSP elements, by department (ED vs inpatient) and prevention orientation (primary vs tertiary). Results: The percentage of implemented elements ranged from 35 to 94 percent in EDs and 24 to 88 percent in acute care departments. Reviewing the prescription drug monitoring program database and offering alternatives to opioids were the most frequently implemented. Assessing opioid use disorder (OUD) and prescribing naloxone were among the least. The number of implemented elements tended to be uniform across departments. We found that CAHs implemented, on average, 67 percent of elements that prevent unnecessary opioid use and 54 percent of elements that treat OUD. Conclusions: Some OSP elements were in place in nearly every Arizona CAH, while others were present in only a quarter or a third of hospitals. To improve, more attention is needed to define and standardize OSPs. Equal priority should be given to preventing unnecessary opioid initiation and treating opioid misuse or OUD, as well as quality control strategies that provide an opportunity for continuous improvement.

Abstract:
The Arizona Department of Transportation's Motor Vehicle Enforcement Services (MVES) conducts interstate commercial vehicle operations and enforcement activities at fixed ports of entry (POEs) along Arizona's interstate and international borders. These POE facilities play an important role in commercial vehicle safety and revenue collection by screening commercial vehicle traffic for compliance with state and federal regulations. POEs provide needed services but lack a clear means of evaluating services relative to the efficiency and effectiveness of enforcement activities. This inability makes it difficult to communicate POEs achievements and identify potential improvements in service quality. Measuring efficiency and effectiveness can help to direct resources for performing MVES functions. To ensure that public funds invested in the Arizona POE program provide a return to taxpayers in the form of increased safety and reduced damage to highways, several measures of performance at MVES commercial ports are proposed. Arizona POEs are used as a case study to evaluate various ways to measure performance.

Abstract:
Washington, DC, July 13, 1993—Africanized honey bees have been found in Arizona, the second state where the "killer bees" have migrated into this country, according to the Agriculture Department. A swarm was found in a state Department of Agriculture trap 2 miles north of Sasabe, AZ. The bees were destroyed. The fierce and unmanageable bees are descendants of honey bees imported from Africa to Brazil in 1956. They have been spreading north and south from Brazil since their release in 1957. They tend to sting with less provocation and in greater numbers than other honey bees. They migrated for the first time into the United States in 1990, near Hildago, TX, in the Rio Grande Valley. They have also entered the country on ships.

Abstract:
Objectives In response to a declared statewide public health emergency due to opioid-related overdose deaths, the Arizona Department of Health Services guided the creation of a modern, statewide, evidence-based curriculum on pain and addiction that would be relevant for all health care provider types. Methods The Arizona Department of Health Services convened and facilitated 4 meetings during 4 months with a workgroup comprising the deans and curriculum representatives of all 18 medical, osteopathic, physician assistant, nurse practitioner, dental, podiatry, and naturopathic programs in Arizona. During this collaborative and iterative process, the workgroup reviewed existing curricula, established a philosophical framework, and developed a flexible and practical structure for a curriculum that would suit the needs of all program types. Results The Arizona Pain and Addiction Curriculum was finalized in June 2018. The curriculum aims to redefine pain and addiction as multidimensional public health issues and is structured as 10 core components, each supported by a detailed set of evidence-based objectives. The curriculum includes a set of annual metrics to collect from both programs (focused on implementation progress and barriers) and learners (focused on knowledge, attitudes, and practice plans). Conclusions To our knowledge, this is the first example of a statewide collaboration among diverse health professional education programs to create a single, standard curriculum. This collaborative process and the nonproprietary Arizona Pain and Addiction Curriculum may serve as a useful template for other states to enhance pain and addiction education.

Abstract:
Background/Context Currently, Native American education policy reports and empirical research papers have largely focused on sociocultural challenges to Native sovereignty and the policy that impedes Native sovereign states. This paper deviates from that theme by implicating policy as preventing improvement of educational outcomes by proxy of the fiscal revenue available to reservation schools, focusing specifically on the Navajo Nation. To date, this is the first empirically driven, Native-specific school finance study that attempts to compare how Anglo and Native schools are funded and how the quality and dispersion of this funding affects Native education and outcomes. Purpose/Objective/Research Question/Focus of Study This study reports on a longitudinal descriptive analysis of school fiscal revenue (2006–2012), comparing Navajo K–12 school districts against Arizona public school districts. This empirical research paper attempts to answer the following questions: How did Navajo K–12 public school district demographics compare to those of Arizona public school districts from 2006 to 2012? How did Navajo K–12 public school districts perform academically compared to Arizona public school districts from 2006 to 2012? How did Navajo public school district tax rates and assessed property valuation compare to those of Arizona public school districts from 2006 to 2012? How did Navajo public school district revenues compare to those of Arizona public school districts from 2006 to 2012? Research Design This research study is a univariate statistical analysis (i.e., mean, median, standard deviation, range, and percentile) examining general descriptions of individual fiscal revenue variables for schooling. Data Collection and Analysis The data comprised publicly available Arizona Department of Education Excel files (Excel v14.0) merged into one consolidated dataset imported to SPSSv22.0. Our analysis began by selecting Navajo public school districts from our dataset and then comparing them to Arizona public districts (excluding Navajo and nontraditional LEA districts) from 2006 to 2012. Findings/Results This study has two conclusions: (a) There is a clear and growing achievement gap between Navajo and Arizona districts; and (b) Our results seem to suggest that Arizona's equalization formula is not effectively counterbalancing the impact of local property wealth, as shown by the disparities in combined state and local revenue between Navajo K–12 school districts and Arizona districts. Conclusions/Recommendations The findings in this study indicate that Arizona must address policy and practice in order to remedy the educational disparity between Navajo students and their non-Navajo peers. Navajo Nation schools require agency to designate priorities and state funding to meet these priorities.

Abstract:
The world has been challenged by the AIDS epidemic for 15 years. In 1985, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control, allocated funds to all state departments of education to assist schools in the development of AIDS education policies and programs. Yet, these policies do not ensure that all students receive effective AIDS education. On September 21, 1991, the Arizona Legislature passed Senate Bill 1396, which requires public schools to annually provide AIDS education in grades K-12. The bill was rescinded in 1995. With prohibitive curriculum guidelines, limited teacher training opportunities and tremendous instructional demands, this educational policy was implemented in disparate forms. By examining the perspectives of the Arizona educators (representing three school districts), this qualitative study reveals how teachers ultimately controlled the delivery and nature of AIDS instruction based upon personal values, views of teacher roles, and their interpretation of the mandate itself.

Arizona has stringent permit requirements for the construction of water wells, but domestic well owners are responsible for repair and maintenance of their own wells to assure a reliable water supply of consistent quality. For the proper maintenance of domestic wells, it is important to have a basic understanding about the different materials that comprise a home water supply system. This fact sheet presents information about Arizona domestic well components, including well casings, well caps, well screens, and pitless adapters; basic materials that combine with a pump to provide water for a household.

Abstract:
In 1896, Carlos Jacome opened "La Bonanza," a general mercantile store in downtown Tucson. For eighty-four years the store flourished, evolving into a mainstay of Tucson's retail life as Jacome's Department Store. As the store grew and prospered it developed a distinctive image derived from the Mexican-American background of its owners and managers which set it apart from other retail establishments in Tucson's downtown business district. Special attention placed on the two men guiding Jacome's growth and development, Carlos and later his son, Alex, Sr., provided an opportunity to examine the interaction between Mexican-American culture and the store's internal and external environments. Additionally, comparisons between Jacome's and their competitors, Anglo-owned retail stores in the downtown business district, delineated the effect of culture upon Jacome's organizational structure and the store's survival strategy. Like Jacome's, each of these stores had its roots in an era when Tucson was far removed from the mainstream of American economic life and local concerns dictated survival. Fundamental changes in American business organization, economy, and values beginning with World War I and reaching maturity during the 1920's portended an end to Tucson's placid retail environment. Many of these changes brought short-term benefits, but by the 1960's it was evident that in the long run they had worked against the independent retailers' interests. Increasingly, like their counterparts across the United States, Tucson's merchants encountered increased competition from chain stores and shopping centers, as well as problems tied to their central city location and the repeal of federal and state fair trade laws. As problems multiplied each retailer in downtown Tucson pursued a separate survival strategy. Primary in Jacome's strategic decisions was the precedence family interests took over the maximum exploitation of economic opportunities. Ultimately, however, whatever decision was reached, Tucson's independent department stores faced extinction. Within a few years of Jacome's closing in 1980 the last of the old-time department stores, at one time synonymous with retailing in Tucson, were gone.

Abstract:
The purpose of this research was to determine whether there are differences in the correctional approach of the federal government and the state of Arizona. To determine if those differences exist, a comparative study was done which looked at the mission statements, programs and services offered to inmates, cost, and recidivism rates at both the Federal Bureau of Prisons and the Arizona Department of Corrections. Because differences were found to exist between the two levels of government, a policy recommendation was formulated to discuss how the Arizona Department of Corrections could implement new programs in order to have more success like its federal counterpart.

Abstract:

Abstract The purpose of this qualitative single case study was to explore how department chairs described the influence of recent corporate ethics scandals on content and availability of ethics education in postsecondary business schools in Arizona. The following research questions guided this study: RQ1: How do department chairs describe the influence of recent corporate ethics scandals on the content of ethics education in postsecondary business schools in Arizona? RQ2: How do department chairs describe the influence of recent corporate ethics scandals on the availability of ethics education in postsecondary business schools in Arizona? RQ3: How do department chairs feel that ethics education can be improved in postsecondary business schools in Arizona? R4: How have postsecondary business schools in the state of Arizona changed their ethics curriculum in response to recent corporate ethics scandals? The sample for this study was 9 department chairs out of 40 in postsecondary schools in Arizona that offer business degrees. It was important for the purpose of this study to focus on department chairs, because of their direct involvement in the management of their business degree programs (i.e., design and accreditation of required curriculum), faculty, and business schools. The Hosmer and Kiewitz managerial ethics theory provided the foundation of this research. The data analysis procedure chosen was the thematic analysis from the triangulation of three data sources. The results found that a higher number of participants perceived that recent corporate ethics scandals did have an influence on content and availability of ethics education.

Abstract:
Local Health Departments (LHD) that aim to address the public health needs of growing populations require qualified professionals with management competencies. In Arizona, the majority of public health services are delivered by the county health departments, which are charged with assisting community members and monitoring and improving community health. These activities are funded with federal, state and local money, which varies across counties. This study provides a comprehensive understanding of the local public health system in Arizona, the distribution of public health services across counties and examines the association between health outcomes data and funding patterns for each county. National Association of City and County Health Officials (NACCHO) data from their 2008 survey was used to examine the activities performed at the local level. The majority of the activities in which the LHDs focus fall within the assurance function of public health. Interviews with all Arizona county health department directors (N=15) were conducted. Discussion focused on LHD activities, county and state political/policy climate and partnerships that contribute to LHDs activities. Responses varied significantly across the state due to differences in demographic and financial characteristics of the counties. Many political, socioeconomic and environmental barriers to provision of services were identified as well as the need for developing a stronger public health infrastructure.Finally, associations between several health outcomes and funding, workforce and demographic data of the 15 local health departments in Arizona were examined by conducting correlation analysis and linear regressions. This study found strong positive associations between LHD revenues, LHD expenditures, population size and number of LHD employees and HIV/AIDS incidence, low birth weight births and infant mortality rate. Positive associations were also found between revenues and number of women who received prenatal care and HIV/AIDS mortality rate as well as between number of LHD employees and diabetes mortality rate. This study represents a small step in better understanding the local public health system in Arizona, the distribution of public health services across counties and the political, financial and policy constraints faced by county health department directors.

Abstract:
Emergency departments (ED) are an integral component of the United States' health care system. The underlying factors related to ED use among Arizona's mentally ill are not fully understood and the patterns necessary to classify patients as frequent users have not been examined. The purpose of this study was to increase the understanding of frequent users and further examine the conditions by which they present to the ED. The theoretical foundation for this study was the fourth version of Andersen's behavioral model (1995) and this model's use to frame this study allowed for an objective analysis of ED use among Arizonans. The sample consisted of Arizona Department of Health Services-Department of Behavioral Services [AZDHS-DBS], ED discharge data, FY2013. The study addressed the gap in the literature using exploratory techniques and was guided by quantitative factor analysis. These multivariate techniques allowed for an analysis of the loading factors for each variable. The major findings from this study revealed a lack of generalizability based on a smaller than anticipated sample size; thus, halting further exploration within the sample for mental disorder, a key component to Research Question 1 and the overall study. Findings from Research Question 2 revealed the factors of race and payer as the best predictors of an ED visit. Study findings revealed ED visitors were most likely White females, 50 years of age or younger, and recipients of Medicaid. These study findings can inform clinical professionals within emergency medicine (EM) in the state of Arizona. This research has provided evidence that can be used by these professionals to promote positive social change and prompt additional primary research study efforts in healthcare utilization among Arizonans.

Abstract:
<em>Abstract.</em>—The native fish fauna of the Southwest has become markedly reduced in range and numbers over the past century. Dramatic changes in aquatic habitats and the introduction of nonnative fishes are related to their demise. Major southwestern river systems such as the Colorado, Rio Grande, Gila, and Verde presently contain nonnative, primarily sport fish assemblages, in combination with rare, declining, and listed native species. The Arizona Game and Fish Department in collaboration with federal and private agencies is responsible for managing both of these fish groups in a representative state, Arizona. Two questions can be offered: “Is it desirable, and possible, to sustain both fish groups in the waters of Arizona?” and further, “Is it possible to sustain both fish groups in the same river, stream, lake for spring?” Currently, the Arizona Game and Fish Department (Department) propagates primarily coldwater species; however, a half a dozen species, including the threatened Apache trout <em>Oncorhynchus gilae apache</em>, Colorado pikeminnow <em>Ptychocheilus lucius</em>, razorback sucker <em>Xyrauchen texanus</em>, Gila topminnow <em>Poeciliopsis occidentalis</em>, and desert pupfish <em>Cyprinodon nevadensis</em>, are also reared in hatcheries and refugia habitats. Repatriation programs for these same species are ongoing in Arizona. A critical component for recovery of these rare, native species will be to sustain secure habitats for their repatriation. Cooperative programs with the U.S. Forest Service, U.S. Bureau of Land Management, and U.S. Bureau of Reclamation seek available habitats for restoration of native fishes. The management activities of many agencies over the last century have contributed to the hydrological and biological state of southwestern river systems. Cooperation among these same agencies will be necessary to conserve and enhance native fishes while sportfishing continues. The answer to the above two questions are (1) “Yes, both groups are being managed under department mission statements”; and (2) “No, efforts to do so should in the same habitats are not recommended and should not be attempted.”

Abstract:
Abstract This one-hour disturbance by inmates at Cimarron Unit of the Arizona State Prison Complex at Tucson initially pitted inmates against inmates. It began as a fight over a cigarette lighter and escalated into a giant brawl. When prison officials intervened, inmates turned on them, and force had to be used to end the disturbance. The Arizona State Prison at Tucson is a complex that houses 2,400 inmates in four semiautonomous units. A warden administers the complex as a whole, with each unit under the direction of a deputy warden. A number of support services are shared. For example, the Tactical Support Unit, a unit specially trained to handle riots, is staffed by members from the entire complex. The riot was confined to the Cimarron Unit, the last of the four units to come on line (in 1986). Department officials considered the cell blocks at Cimarron to be more secure than those in the state’s other mediumsecurity facilities. Thus, Cimarron received the more difficult to manage medium-custody inmates, including gang members.

Abstract:
In 1954 the National Observatory Panel recommended to the National Science Foundation that Aden Meinel serve as the Panel’s executive secretary, even while he was associate director of Yerkes and McDonald Observatories and leading auroral research as part of the International Geophysical Year (IGY) of 1957–1958. One of his first responsibilities was a site survey to determine the optimal location for the National Observatory. Kitt Peak in Arizona was chosen, and after receiving permission from the Papago Tribal Council, construction of the infrastructure and 36-inch and 80-inch telescopes commenced. In 1957 Aden was named as director of Kitt Peak National Observatory (KPNO) and served until his resignation from KPNO in 1961 and hiring by the University of Arizona in the Department of Astronomy.

Abstract:
Arizona has played a historic role in national “law and order” policymaking and immigration politics. Today it has some of the highest levels of criminal arrest, prosecution, and sentencing for immigration offenses. Yet it is also home to one of the most dynamic border- and immigrant-rights movements in the country. This chapter explores linkages among civil rights, mass incarceration, and immigration enforcement to better explain the local political and economic context in which the Department of Homeland Security has diffused federal criminal enforcement priorities and institutionalized “prosecutorial” approaches to migration that aggressively punish while safeguarding “victims’ rights.”

Abstract:
Implementing the Department of Homeland Security’s criminal enforcement priorities—even in a punitive state like Arizona—has not been automatic. In a border region dependent on cross-border flows of people, goods, and money, implementing new crime-centered enforcement priorities did not generate the widespread consensus expressed in Congress. On the contrary, the federal mandate evoked tensions among border agents, local law enforcement, immigrant advocates, and Mexican officials on the ground. This chapter examines how front-line agents’ relations to other players involved in immigration enforcement shaped the ways in which enforcement priorities took hold, with local actors serving as both protectors and prosecutors.

Abstract:
A group support system (GSS) is created with information technology (IT) and decision support techniques for assisting problem formulation and evaluation of alternative solutions in a group meeting (DeSanctis & Gallupe, 1987). The idea of GSS dated back to the 1970s; however, not until late 1980s did GSS take the form as we know it now. In 1987, two GSS systems were developed by researchers in different universities: Software Aided Meeting Management system at University of Minnesota, and GroupSystems at University of Arizona (Wagner, Wynne, & Mennecke, 1993). Since then, much research on GSS has been conducted and many organizations such as IBM, the Department of Defense, and the Internal Revenue Services, have used SAMM and GroupSystems in solving organizational problems.

Abstract:
An account of a vigil held by undocumented immigrants "at the end of the world," in the Arizona desert on a march to an immigration detention center, reveals how the voicing of emotional anguish contributes to a politics of bodily extremity used to engage the state. Immigration activists deploy tactics of historical human rights campaigns, like the bodily protests of Gandhi or Cesar Chavez, in order to contest state power. Similarly, the meaning of the vigil is shaped by the willed endurance of the early Christian martyrs and the "sacred suffering" of the enslaved invoked by antebellum abolitionists. Yet its ultimate target is secular: the Department of Homeland Security and, ultimately, the president. The most transformative claim of these activists denies the need for divine intercession: despite their lack of formal status, undocumented immigrants can make their case for redress of grievance directly to the political leaders of the nation.

Abstract:
Abstract The SunDish is a solar thermal power system designed to produce utility-grade electricity from concentrated sunlight. The system is based on a reflective solar dish concentrator that concentrates solar energy to a Stirling engine/generator, producing a net output of up to 22kW at 1000 W/sq. m. of insolation (Stine and Diver, 1994). Salt River Project (SRP), Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC), STM Corporation, and the U.S. Department of Energy have cooperated to install and operate a prototype SunDish at the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community Landfill (SRP-MICL) in Tempe, Arizona. Operational results and experiences are discussed. At the site, methane gas is collected from the landfill and used as fuel in the SunDish to generate electricity when sunlight is not available due to clouds, and at night. Gas operation has presented some challenges, and operational experiences and incidents are discussed. Finally, design changes and system improvements that have resulted from operation of the prototype SunDish are discussed.

While there is an increased desire for complex geometry inthe built environment, affordable fabrication processes arestill in their infancy.1 Economical workarounds have historicallyexisted including the use of developable surfaces (WaltDisney Concert Hall, Los Angeles), rationalization techniques(Mercedes Benz Museum, Stuttgart) and cold bending techniques(Experience Music Project, Seattle). More recentlythe Dongdaemun Design Park (DDP), designed by Zaha HadidArchitects in Seoul, South Korea utilized a multi stretch formingmachine, with two mating dies and high pressure.2 At theUniversity of Arizona researchers have developed an economicaltechnology to manufacture precision, compound-curvedaluminum metal sheets for satellite communication dishes,answering a need for increased high speed internet demands.This developed technology has been recently expanded andadapted for economical building façades, in collaborationwith the architecture department, giving an opportunity toconnect space technology with the built environment, naturalforms and systems.

Full text
Abstract:
On 30 June 2013, nineteen Prescott FD, Granite Mountain Hot Shots, a quasi-military Wildland Fire Crew, died on the Yarnell Hill Fire in Arizona. This tragic Arizona State Forestry (ASF) wildfire was “investigated” by a USDA US Forest Service-funded Serious Accident Investigation Team (SAIT). Their alleged "factual" report (SAIR) concluded they "found no indication of negligence, reckless actions, or violations of policy or protocol." Stated in the positive - they did everything right and yet nineteen men perished. This no blame, no-fault conclusion clearly defies logic and reason. Both USFS and BLM training publications mirror each other: "If firefighters follow the Standard Firefighting Orders and are alerted to the 18 Watch Out Situations, much of the risk of firefighting can be reduced." In 2001 and 2002, former USFS Fire Director Jerry Williams fully supported that joint assertion: “The Ten Standard Firefighting Orders must be firm rules of engagement. … They are the result of hard-learned lessons. Compromis¬ing one or more of them is a common denominator of all tragedy fires. … [where] the Fire Orders were ignored, overlooked, or otherwise compromised.” “Entrapment avoid¬ance must be our primary emphasis and our measure of professional operational success. We must embrace the rules of engagement as a way of doing business - as a professional standard. ... because we owe it to one another. The Fire Orders must become a shared obligation, where the leader’s situational awareness depends on participation by the entire crew and where the crew’s participation is tempered with respect for the leader’s responsibility ..." The SAIT states: "The 10 Standard Firefighting Orders and 18 Watch Out Situations ... [are] the foundation of training in fire suppression operations, ... but they require judgment in application. These principles, ... outline the [SAIT’s] perspective regarding the use and consideration of the 10 and 18 in [the SAIR]." This contradicts the GMHS aftermath.Additionally, other Agency video training sources have made light of this serious subject. “Visualizing The Ten and Eighteen - With Humor” (2004) Kathy Murphy; “WFSTAR: Fire Orders” (2018); and the Wildland Fire LLC - “Honor the Fallen” (2018). In this video, the Standard Fire Orders are denigrated by the USFS Apprenticeship Program Manager: “the truth is that we try to put it into these little boxes in these rules and the 10 and 18 that cannot, they’re not gonna keep us safe, that’s been proven time and time again, we can’t follow our own rule, you know, these rules whatever they are” and states they need to have “luck decision conversation[s],” concluding with “it was good … until it wasn’t.” Did these, and coaching from others, result in the third-year GMHS sole survivor McDonough’s SAIT assertion that Fire Order Ten regarding safely fighting fire, was “hillbilly” and “old”? The documented YH Fire and GMHS tragedy is inaccurate. Indeed, knowing, recognizing, and applying the 10 and 18, and mitigating any Watchout Situations are responsible for saving tens of thousands of WF lives every year! There are no documented cases revealing otherwise.

In ASME 2011 14th International Conference on Environmental Remediation and Radioactive Waste Management. ASMEDC, 2011. http://dx.doi.org/10.1115/icem2011-59246.

Full text
Abstract:
Modeling of coupled processes in the geology near a high-level nuclear waste repository is similar to the modeling of coupled Thermo-Hydro-Mechanical-Chemical (THMC) processes that occur in magma-hydrothermal systems. Former Professor Denis Norton and his colleagues at the Geoscience Department at University of Arizona studied magma-hydrothermal systems extensively. These hydro-thermal codes were verified by obtaining excellent matches between calculated δ18O–values and measured δ18O–values in three principal rock units: basalt, gabbro, and gneiss. This paper reviews the concept of transport theory used in the formulation of the conservation principle used to model the hydrothermal systems. In addition, the paper reviews conservation of mass, momentum, energy, and chemical component equations as applied to the multicomponent-multiphase systems related to hydrothermal systems and obtains parallels to reaction rates and radionuclide transport in the geology of a high level nuclear water repository. Further, this paper compares published results obtained by other researchers modeling coupled THMC process in the geology of high-level nuclear waste repositories.

Cross, Courtney. "Designing “Complete Green Streets” for Multiple Benefits: Improving Equity, Increasing Safety, and Reducing Flooding Across the Multimodal Transportation Network." In 109th ACSA Annual Meeting Proceedings. ACSA Press, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.35483/acsa.am.109.90.

Full text
Abstract:
Transportation systems have historically been designed to move the greatest number of vehicles as efficiently as possible across a city from point to point. However, streets also rep¬resent roughly 70-90% of cities’ public open spaces (NACTO, 2020). In addition to being conduits, streets act as an impor¬tant amateur on which an array of public services can be built. Streets can be designed to provide multiple benefits across multiple modes of transit for aggregate network impact. The U.S. Department of Transportation defines the term Complete Streets as streets that enable “safe use and support mobility for all users (USDOT, 2020).” Green Infrastructure (GI) is defined by the Environmental Protection Agency as “reducing and treating stormwater at its source while deliv¬ering environmental, social, and economic benefits (EPA, 2020).” This paper integrates these two recognized concepts to design a “Complete Green Street” that reduced flooding for increased safety and equitable access while providing an array of community assets. Led through an University of Arizona upper-level design studio that was sponsored by the City of Tucson, the partnership used spatial mapping, quantitative analysis, hydrological modeling, and design inquiry to create a six-mile bicycle boulevard that is slated to be constructed from the northern to southern city limits, passing through the largest municipal park. This paper starts with a review of recent complete street, flood modeling, and GI literature. Then, research methods are outlined. Results are discussed for a set of four Complete Green Street prototypes: crowned streets, inverted crowned streets, curbed streets, and naked streets. Each of these four Complete Green Street prototypes were designed with a set of corresponding GI kit-of-parts based on the greatest flood reductions modeled for each condition. Based on the hydro¬logical modeling performance results for these prototypical designs across the 6-mile bicycle boulevard, this research concluded that the greatest potential impacts for flood reduction were in locations with the largest existing right-of-way and moderate flooding levels. This paper argues that by working across disciplines and departments, new typologies for place-specific, multi-benefit street designs can be created and implemented. Complete Green Street design can expand multimodal accessibility and safety through flood reduction and increased community assets.

Abstract:
<div class="section abstract"><div class="htmlview paragraph">The operational safety of Automated Driving System (ADS)-Operated Vehicles (AVs) are a rising concern with the deployment of AVs as prototypes being tested and also in commercial deployment. The robustness of safety evaluation systems is essential in determining the operational safety of AVs as they interact with human-driven vehicles. Extending upon earlier works of the Institute of Automated Mobility (IAM) that have explored the Operational Safety Assessment (OSA) metrics and infrastructure-based safety monitoring systems, in this work, we compare the performance of an infrastructure-based Light Detection And Ranging (LIDAR) system to an onboard vehicle-based LIDAR system in testing at the Maricopa County Department of Transportation SMARTDrive testbed in Anthem, Arizona. The sensor modalities are located in infrastructure and onboard the test vehicles, including LIDAR, cameras, a real-time differential GPS, and a drone with a camera. Bespoke localization and tracking algorithms are created for the LIDAR and cameras. In total, there are 26 different scenarios of the test vehicles navigating the testbed intersection; for this work, we are only considering car following scenarios. The LIDAR data collected from the infrastructure-based and onboard vehicle-based sensors system are used to perform object detection and multi-target tracking to estimate the velocity and position information of the test vehicles and use these values to compute OSA metrics. The comparison of the performance of the two systems involves the localization and tracking errors in calculating the position and the velocity of the subject vehicle, with the real-time differential GPS data serving as ground truth for velocity comparison and tracking results from the drone for OSA metrics comparison.</div></div>
