Isabel Fothergill Smith (November 15, 1890-September 16, 1990), Professor Emcrita of Geology and History of Science, Scripps College, Claremont California, began her career in geology and education with the tutelage and mentoring of Florence Bascom at Bryn Mawr College. After receiving her Ph.D. from that institution, Smith embarked upon her career in education as a geology professor at Smith College. In 1929, she became the first Dean at Scripps College, a newly founded women's college in southern California. After six years as Dean and a sabbatical studying history of science at Columbia and Harvard Universities, Smith returned to Scripps and taught history of science and geology there, as well as at Pomona College. She retired from teaching in 1954 and later wrote a biographical memoir of her mentor Florence Bascom.

AbstractThe Oceans of Data Institute (ODI) at the Education Development Center (EDC), Inc.; Stanford University; and the Scripps Institution of Oceanography have been collaborating, with the support of three National Science Foundation grants over the past 5 years, to bring large scientific data sets into secondary and postsecondary classrooms. These efforts have culminated in the development of a Web-based student interface to marine science data called Ocean Tracks (<ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://oceantracks.org">http://oceantracks.org</ext-link>), which incorporates design principles based on a broad range of research findings in fields such as cognitive science, visual design, mathematics education, and learning science. The Ocean Tracks interface was tested in high school classrooms in spring and fall of 2013 with a total of 195 high school students. These tests indicate that students appeared to find many aspects of the interface simple and intuitive to use. Teachers and students indicated that working with real data was highly engaging, pointing to the tremendous potential for “big data” to transform the way science is taught. Interest among college faculty in Ocean Tracks indicates a need in undergraduate classrooms for similar tools that allow students to interact with data. So in the fall of 2014, we began to collect baseline data on students attending undergraduate oceanography classes at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography (Scripps) and Palomar College, where we will also be developing curricula and conducting classroom tests. Preliminary results from this work are presented here.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to map and analyze sustainability activities and relationships at the seven Claremont Colleges and graduate institutions using social network analysis (SNA) to inform sustainability planning and programming. Design/methodology/approach Online surveys and interviews were conducted among faculty, staff and students, and a network map was created and analyzed using network statistics to identify network characteristics. Findings The mapped sustainability network has 291 one- and bi-directional connections but with substantial differences among institutions. Pomona and Pitzer colleges have the highest number of sustainability-related courses because of their popular Environmental Analysis programs. The two graduate schools and Scripps College are comparatively isolated. Scripps’ network is small but highly interconnected and resilient. Pomona’s network is extensive but concentrated on a single node. Several other key actors were identified based on the number of nodes extending from or connecting to them. Several new sustainability initiatives were recently launched in response to the study. Practical implications SNA and mapping for campus sustainability can highlight network gaps and network vulnerabilities. To increase completeness, a representative and sufficiently large data sample is needed, requiring multiple, coordinated forms of contact. Interviews yield more detailed and comprehensive information than online surveys but are more time-consuming. Thus, the combination of electronic surveys and in-person interviews can be a successful strategy for maximizing information collection. Originality/value The case study was the first of its kind conducted at the Claremont Colleges and one of the first in higher education. It informs sustainability planning, coordination and integration efforts.

Australian scientist Shirley Jeffrey was a pioneer in oceanographic research, identifying the thentheoretical chlorophyll c, and was a worldwide leader in the application of pigment methods in quantifying phytoplankton as the foundation of the oceanic food supply. Her research paved the way for the successful application of microalgae in aquaculture around the world. Jeffrey earned bachelor's and master's degrees at University of Sydney, majoring in microbiology and biochemistry, followed by a PhD from the King's College London Hospital Medical School. Returning to Sydney, she was hired by the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) to research chlorophyll c. Following this successful effort, she became a research fellow at the University of California, Berkeley from 1962 to 1964. She then became affiliated with the Scientific Committee on Oceanic Research. After a 1973 sabbatical at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in San Diego, she returned to CSIRO, where she spent the rest of her career.

Abstract Last summer, I was a teacher intern in the Havran laboratory at The Scripps Research Institute where the research focused on how to define the mechanisms by which γδ T cells interact with neighboring epithelial cells, how they recognize and respond to self produced antigen, and ultimately how they accelerate the repair of damaged tissue. Upon completion of my internship, I developed a curriculum unit with a Biology Action Model (BAM) and a double diffusion test that demonstrates the interaction between antibodies and antigen. Students will be introduced to the role of γδ T cells by interpreting pictures of wild type and γδ knock out epidermal mouse tissue that have received identical wounds. Students will observe delayed wound closure and healing in the tissue that comes from the γδ knock out mouse. In addition to the content, students will apply laboratory skills such as microscopy and tissue staining. This unit is aligned with the California Content Standards for the Immune System and is designed to be implemented in a college prep biology class. This unit will incorporate a variety of teaching strategies that engage students in active learning and will foster a better understanding of immunology.

Abstract Background Rising costs pose a major threat to US health care. Residency programs are being asked to teach residents how to provide cost-conscious medical care. Methods An educational intervention incorporating the American College of Radiology appropriateness criteria with lectures on cost-consciousness and on the actual hospital charges for abdominal imaging was implemented for residents at Scripps Mercy Hospital in San Diego, CA. We hypothesized that residents would order fewer abdominal imaging examinations for patients with complaints of abdominal pain after the intervention. We analyzed the type and number of abdominal imaging studies completed for patients admitted to the inpatient teaching service with primary abdominal complaints for 18 months before (738 patients) and 12 months following the intervention (632 patients). Results There was a significant reduction in mean abdominal computed tomography (CT) scans per patient (1.7–1.4 studies per patient, P &lt; .001) and total abdominal radiology studies per patient (3.1–2.7 studies per patient, P = .02) following the intervention. The avoidance of charges solely due to the reduction in abdominal CT scans following the intervention was $129 per patient or $81,528 in total. Conclusions A simple educational intervention appeared to change the radiologic test-ordering behavior of internal medicine residents. Widespread adoption of similar interventions by residency programs could result in significant savings for the health care system.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Financial exploitation (FE) perpetrators are usually seen in a position of trust, such as family members or friends, whereas perpetrators of scam tend to be unknown individuals. Few empirical studies have examined victim risk factors, and this study aimed to systematically compare risk factors of FE versus scam. One-hundred-and-ninety-five adults (ages 18-89) were recruited to complete a 60-minute survey and interview at Purdue University in Indiana (n1=97) and Scripps College in California (n2=98). Risk factors assessed included cognitive tasks (overall cognition, memory, and executive decision), socio-emotional questionnaires (depression, resilience, ostracism, and social integration), financial measures (numeracy, objective financial knowledge, retirement worries, and financial well-being), physical health and demographics (age, gender, education level, marital status, ethnicity). Additionally, participants reported experiences of FE and scam, including (1) the 11-item short-form Older Adult Financial Exploitation Measure, (2) seven questions on scam from the Health and Retirement Study, and (3) likelihood to contact a scammer after reviewing lottery scam materials. The three dependent variables were log-transformed before OLS regression models were built. Each dependent variable was associated with different risk factors. Lower standard of living (p=.02) and ostracism (p&lt;.05) independently predicted FE. Lower physical health (b=-.02, p=.003) was the strongest predictor of scam, with lower level of financial well-being (p=.02) serving as an independent predictor. For lottery scams contact likelihood, ostracism (b=.04, p=.005) and being male (b=-.23, p=.04) were the strongest predictors. Since risk factors differed between FE and scam, prevention and intervention programs should target the unique profiles of risk factors for each.

Full textAbstract:
Photography today is based more in editing and manipulation than in the physical capturing of the photo. The pervasiveness of photo editing is only going to increase; however, whether an edited photo remains true to the original photo, let alone the original scene, is left for the photographer to determine. Photographers attempt to create the "perfect" image and are willing to sacrifice the original photo in the process. The finished product becomes in many cases an entirely different photo from the original, to the extent that it is more a product of the editing software than the actual camera.
My project takes the form of a photo-editing manual, viewable in both physical and digital format, and an exhibition of the final images. None of the images are so extreme that it is immediately clear that they have been manipulated; however, as they are all images of Scripps College, people who are familiar with the campus will be able to recognize that something is off. I see these images as products of editing software more than products of a camera. I have exaggerated commonly used editing techniques to draw attention to their excessive use in photography today. In the manual, the manipulation and changes suggested become gradually more extreme, so that if the reader does not a first question the instructions, he or she will be sure to by the end.

Full textAbstract:
Continuing from Eckert’s line of research, I aim to explore the social meaning of common features loaded with gendered ideology: uptalk, creaky voice, and tag questions to name a few (Eckert 2008). Some indexical properties of these features have been alluded to in a study by Ikuko Patricia Yuasa, who found in a match-guise test that many female users of creaky voice are perceived as “educated, urban-oriented and upwardly mobile” (2010). Yet these findings are divorced from the “interactional and stylistic ends” to which girls used these marked features that Eckert and McLemore identify, when in fact they should be in direct conversation.
In the process, I aim to make speech used by mainstream populations a conscious object of study, critically examining whether the features index a specific and exclusive construction of femininity that represents any sort of prestige in the specific setting of a women’s college. This entails studying not only who adopts these features and to what means, but who do not and what alternative patterns of speech they pursue instead. Thus, this project aims to elucidate the complicated choices that young women make in speech and the social meanings they convey in those choices.

This is a creative writing: nonfiction thesis investigating how the Scripps College Dance Department came to be and serves a testament to the tenacity of the Scripps College Dance Department. This thesis explores different interconnected histories, regarding women's bodies, women's colleges and dance pioneers at the turn of the twentieth-century, to help explain why dance has the place it does in higher education, offering dance as a space for aestheticism in academia and focusing on the particular intersection of dance, aestheticism and women in a dance department at a women's college. Perhaps by looking at these histories, the current state of the Scripps Dance Department can be understood.

Odabashian, Gavin M. "“To Live Confidently, Courageously, and Hopefully": Challenging Patriarchy and Sexual Violence at Scripps College." Scholarship @ Claremont, 2013. http://scholarship.claremont.edu/scripps_theses/247.
Full textAbstract:
The pervasiveness of sexual violence on college campuses poses a significant problem for students and administrations that seek to promote healthy, safe, and equitable access to higher education. Although federal legislation under Title IX prohibits sexual violence as a form of gender discrimination, cultural climates that promote sexual violence—or rape cultures - continue to inform student experiences on college campuses. This thesis roots the discourse on campus sexual violence in the specific localized context at Scripps College. As a women’s college situated in a small, interconnected consortium of co-ed liberal arts colleges, the case of Scripps College raises critical questions about the ways in which gender and sexism play out on women’s bodies, and influence students’ experiences with embodiment on campus. In this thesis, I present a feminist analysis of the current institutional policies that address sexual violence on campus, in addition to the perspectives of eight student activists currently involved in gender justice work at Scripps College. Due to the fact that each of the Claremont Colleges, including Scripps, is currently in the process of re-evaluating their policies and grievance procedures that address sexual violence on campus, now is a key time to reflect on the past, present, and future of the Claremont Colleges and the role that these institutions play in either deconstructing or reinforcing patriarchal structures of power.

Full textAbstract:
Unprovenanced and undocumented antiquities play a large roll in the international trade of antiquities, a billion dollar sector of the art market. The removal of these antiquities from their source countries creates many problems for the academic community and the standards put in place to eliminate illegal activity. An analysis of an ancient Roman statue head of Livia was used to demonstrate the usefulness of such an legally acquired undocumented antiquity. A visual analysis was first conducted on the Scripps Livia residing within the Scripps Permanent collection by creating comparisons to other known portraits of Livia. A chemical analysis was then conducted to continue verifying authenticity. With the use of a Scanning Electron Microscope, four samples removed from the sculpture were analyzed for elemental composition. Based on the data gathered from these analyses recommendations for new acquisition policies were created for the purpose of ethically researching and displaying the Scripps Livia.

Full textAbstract:
In this thesis, I trace my personal journey and the precursors of unlearning and conversation necessary to start to move towards anti-racism. With a focused look on specific aspects of feminist history, Scripps College as a place was historically contextualized. This allowed for an exploration of its student body, a look at the ways in which traditional gender meanings and expectations necessarily operate within that space. White students who claim the label feminist add complexity to that space, though their reactions to conversations of race can be traced back to the historic and gender over-determined systems of domination and victimhood that produce caustic white feminist tears. Finally, different ways of having difficult conversations are discussed, along with detailed understandings of why those conversations are necessary. In conclusion, I try to envision a kind of feminism that I would like myself and my peers to continue to work for, and emphasize again the sort of education that one must undergo in order to continue their awareness and work.

Crouch, Izzy. "Beyond the Lens." Scholarship @ Claremont, 2019. https://scholarship.claremont.edu/scripps_theses/1245.
Full textAbstract:
Beyond the Lens is a portrait series combining visual images with audiotaped recordings of eight Scripps seniors’ narration of their personal, academic and interpersonal process during the course of their college career. This capstone project seeks to uncover the dynamic nature of the Scripps College community by highlighting the unique evolution of these eight individuals. With this project, I hope to convey that while there is no one specific mold for a Scripps student, there are common threads in the development of key characteristics which propel these participants toward their next steps, among them courage to pursue leadership roles, compassion for underrepresented groups both locally and globally, confidence to make positive changes in their fields of interest and a profound engagement and commitment to their immediate and extended communities. Beyond the Lens not only guides the viewer into the makings of each of these student’s individual profiles but also helps the viewer understand better how the Scripps community shapes their personal ambitions, creating fertile ground for lasting impact. Through the interview process, I examine the enduring imprint of an historically all-women’s college environment, exploring disparate and common threads within each student's experiences, including the effects of in-depth exploration and articulation of multiple perspectives and theoretical positions within academic and non-academic exchanges. Moreover, in these conversations, I ask each student to consider both positive and negative elements of their community and to reflect on their holistic experience at the College in and outside of the classroom. While this capstone is a minute representation of the Scripps community as a whole, it nonetheless provides a glimpse into the influences and processes at play within Scripps College. I aim to demonstrate that being a Scripps student means that we, as a community, are pressed to delve beyond the limited representations so pervasive in our current media soaked lives toward a more complex understanding of ever-evolving forces that occur within ourselves, other members of our community and society at large.

Full textAbstract:
Comprehensive sex education is a determinant of sexual health outcomes and healthy sexual/reproductive behaviors. The need for engaging, accessible, inclusive sex education conducted by community health workers is necessary to combat larger national issues such as the rising rates of sexually transmitted infections. After conducting summer research where I interviewed health educators about what makes health education programs successful, I planned, implemented, and created a sex education program at Scripps College. The event covered the topics of female anatomy, sexually transmitted infections, safer sex/barrier methods, and consent/communication in sexual relationships. The presentation mainly consisted of a PowerPoint that was supplemented with an interactive activity, a raffle and giveaway items, demonstrations of various barrier methods, and a question-and-answer session at the end. Through an evaluative survey, I received an overwhelming amount of positive feedback that indicated that many students learned new information and were likely to make concrete changes to their sexual/reproductive choices because of the program. The most common critical feedback requested that this program be repeated in more depth and cover additional topics such as conception and female orgasm.

Full textAbstract:
The study applied behavior analytic principles to foreign language instruction in a college classroom. Two study methods, vocabulary banks and scripts, were compared by assessing the effects on Italian language acquisition, retention, and generalization. Results indicate that students without prior exposure to Italian engaged in more exchanges and emitted more words in script tests compared to vocabulary bank tests. Participants with at least two classes in Italian prior to the study engaged in more exchanges and emitted more words during vocabulary bank tests. Data suggest that different teaching strategies may work for different learners. More research is needed to determine efficient teaching methods and how to ascertain which approaches work best for learners with different histories.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractFibrillar collagen is an abundant extracellular matrix (ECM) component of interstitial tissues which supports the structure of many organs, including the skin and breast. Many different physiological processes, but also pathological processes such as metastatic cancer invasion, involve interstitial cell migration. Often, cell movement takes place through small ECM gaps and pores and depends upon the ability of the cell and its stiff nucleus to deform. Such nuclear deformation during cell migration may impact nuclear integrity, such as of chromatin or the nuclear envelope, and therefore the morphometric analysis of nuclear shapes can provide valuable insight into a broad variety of biological processes. Here, we describe a protocol on how to generate a cell-collagen model in vitro and how to use confocal microscopy for the static and dynamic visualization of labeled nuclei in single migratory cells. We developed, and here provide, two scripts that (Fidler, Nat Rev Cancer 3(6):453–458, 2003) enable the semi-automated and fast quantification of static single nuclear shape descriptors, such as aspect ratio or circularity, and the nuclear irregularity index that forms a combination of four distinct shape descriptors, as well as (Frantz et al., J Cell Sci 123 (Pt 24):4195–4200, 2010) a quantification of their changes over time. Finally, we provide quantitative measurements on nuclear shapes from cells that migrated through collagen either in the presence or the absence of an inhibitor of collagen degradation, showing the distinctive power of this approach. This pipeline can also be applied to cell migration studied in different assays, ranging from 3D microfluidics to migration in the living organism.

Springer Nature Switzerland, 2023. http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-47751-5_13.
Full textAbstract:
AbstractIn permissionless blockchains, transaction issuers include a fee to incentivize miners to include their transactions. To accurately estimate this prioritization fee for a transaction, transaction issuers (or blockchain participants, mjohnme@mpi-sws.orgore generally) rely on two fundamental notions of transparency, namely contention and prioritization transparency. Contention transparency implies that participants are aware of every pending transaction that will contend with a given transaction for inclusion. Prioritization transparency states that the participants are aware of the transaction or prioritization fees paid by every such contending transaction. Neither of these notions of transparency holds well today. Private relay networks, for instance, allow users to send transactions privately to miners. Besides, users can offer fees to miners via either direct transfers to miners’ wallets or off-chain payments—neither of which are public. In this work, we characterize the lack of contention and prioritization transparency in Bitcoin and Ethereum resulting from such practices. We show that private relay networks are widely used and private transactions are quite prevalent. We show that the lack of transparency facilitates miners to collude and overcharge users who may use these private relay networks despite them offering little to no guarantees on transaction prioritization. The lack of these transparencies in blockchains has crucial implications for transaction issuers as well as the stability of blockchains. Finally, we make our data sets and scripts publicly available.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractIn the Yucatán Peninsula, freshwater sinkholes known as cenotes are the only natural water systems beyond seasonal rainfall. In addition to their role as sustainable sources of water, certain cenotes were sacred to ancestral Maya peoples. Unfortunately, today, cenotes are threatened by pollution and contamination due to trash-dumping, intensive farming, and the effects of tourism. In response to these threats, InHerit: Indigenous Heritage Passed to Present (University of North Carolina), partnered with the Universidad de Oriente (UNO) in Valladolid, Mexico, and nine middle schools in Maya towns throughout Yucatán. Together, we developed curriculum resources focused on the environmental and cultural preservation of cenotes. Our initiative not only generated conservation activities but archival materials related to cenotes. These include photographs and landscape drawings by students, community oral histories about cenotes, and illustrations related to cenotes in the Maya codices—ancestral books of prophecy and fate authored by Yucatec Maya scribes before the sixteenth century. Through our multi-disciplinary exploration of the relationship between biocultural heritage and place, we investigate whether or not cenotes as landscape markers and archaeological caches, themselves, can also be archives—spaces with the capacity to collect, preserve, protect, and convey intergenerational memory and knowledge in the Yucatec Maya world.

Some women founded women’s colleges that were designed to offer a rigorous academic program on par with that at the best men’s colleges, such as Harvard. Chapter 4 examines four women’s college founders of Smith College, Newcomb, Sweet Briar, and Scripps College, along with Jane Stanford, cofounder of coeducational Stanford University. They believed deeply in the abilities of women and the need to develop them through higher education. This chapter shows how these college founders defined women’s rights and desired access to education, not only for intellectual growth but also for financial independence. Chapter 4 demonstrates the enormous influence on women’s education that these women collectively had.

Full textAbstract:
on New Year’s Day 1953, James Bryant Conant made known his intention to resign, effective January 23—all of three weeks later. In June the Corporation announced his successor: forty-six-year-old Nathan Marsh Pusey, the president of Lawrence College in Appleton, Wisconsin. Why this wholly unexpected choice? Who was Pusey, and what did he offer Harvard? He came from an old New England family transplanted to Iowa, graduated from Harvard College in the class of 1928, earned a Harvard Ph.D. in Classics in 1935, went off to stints of college teaching at Lawrence, Scripps, and Wesleyan, and in 1944 returned to Lawrence to become its president. This was a small, highly regarded college in Wisconsin, founded in 1847, with strong New England roots. Pusey did well there, recruiting able faculty and taking a public stand against Appleton native Joseph McCarthy when that sinister figure began to hack his way through American politics. All respectable enough; and, it appears, sufficient to secure Pusey a place on the short list of candidates. But enough to make him Harvard’s twenty-fourth president? Lawrence board chairman William Buchanan reported that Pusey had done little fund-raising for the college, and noted his cool personality and lack of popularity with students despite his manifest skill as a teacher. Another member of the Lawrence board doubted that Pusey had the administrative ability required by the Harvard presidency: “He is stubborn and uncompromising.” More weighty was Carnegie Corporation vice president (and Harvard president wannabe) John Gardner’s “serious doubts that he would have the particular leathery quality required to take on the great administrative job which Harvard is.” But positive views substantially outweighed these reservations. An Episcopal church source reported: “Pusey is stubborn at times but it is always a stubbornness on matters of principle and not with respect to his biases.” Another who knew him well said: “He is all mind, character, and perception. He is no promoter. . . . He is as firm as iron. He always succeeds in getting what he wants done. . . . His religion is top flight 100 percent all wool and a yard wide Episcopalian.”

This concluding chapter sketches a fuller picture of life in institutions such as Ravenwood—disciplined by market and merit. Despite faculty stereotypes, administrators were not universally malicious, incompetent, apathetic, or obsessed only with dollars. Administrators can be a convenient symbol of the corporatization of higher education in the last forty years, and certainly, university administration has been radically transformed over the course of the twentieth century. The chapter also discusses how the confluence of metrics position Ravenwood College and the value of its credential in a particular place in the hierarchy and what the consequences are for how it operates. The ways that administrators interacted with numbers, deployed persuasive scripts, moved individuals through the admission funnel, and handled Ravenwood's financial precarity were partly a logical way to handle their position in the meritocracy.

Full textAbstract:
In the 1970s and 1980s, interactive fiction games emerged and changed the gaming world by enabling players to talk to the machine, make their own decisions, choose their paths, and decide what to collect and do. This freedom captivated players, but at the time, games were limited by programmed scripts that only accepted words present in the game’s code dictionary in a limited format, usually two or three keywords by phrase. However, technological advances have paved the way for improvements in this regard, replacing scripts with artificial intelligence using APIs, such as ChatGPT, for example. Thus, it may be possible to offer players an even more natural and customized experience, where each decision is more flexible with the player’s writing style. In this work, we carried out a communication experiment with the ChatGPT as an intermediary for interactive fiction games and the Frotz game interpreter (a modified version of the Z-Machine interpreter) to assess the feasibility of the approach.

Full textAbstract:
Due to the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic, college tours are no longer available, so many students have lost the opportunity to see their dream school’s campus. To solve this problem, we developed a product called “Virtourgo,” a university virtual tour website that uses Google Street View images gathered from a web scraper allowing students to see what college campuses are like even when tours are unavailable during the pandemic. The project consists of 3/4 parts: the web scraper script, the GitHub server, the Google Domains DNS Server, and the HTML files. Some challenges we met include scraping repeated pictures and letting the HTML dropdown menu jump to the correct location. We solved these by implementing Python and Javascript functions that specifically target such challenges. Finally, after experimenting with all the functions of the web scraper and website, we confirmed that it works as expected and can scrape and deliver tours of any university campus or public buildings we want.

Full textAbstract:
Stiffened panels are commonly used in aircraft structures in order to resist high compression and shear forces with minimum total weight. Minimization of the weight is obtained by combining the optimum design parameters. The panel length, the stringer spacing, the skin thickness, the stringer section type and the stringer dimensions are some of the critical parameters which affect the global buckling allowable of the stiffened panel. The aim of this study is to develop a design tool and carry out a geometric optimization for panels having a large number of stringers. The panel length and the applied compression-shear loads are assumed to be given. In the preliminary part, a simplified panel with minimized number of stringers is found. This panel gives the same equivalent critical buckling load of panels having larger number of stringers. Additionally, the boundary conditions to be substituted for the outer stringer lines are studied. Then the effect of some critical design parameters on the buckling behavior is investigated. In the second phase, approximately six thousand finite element (FE) models are created and analyzed in ABAQUS FE program with the help of a script written in Phyton language. The script changes the parametric design variables and analyzes each skin-stringer model, and collect the buckling analysis results. These design variables and analysis results are grouped together in order to create an artificial neural network (ANN) in MATLAB NNTOOL toolbox. This process allows faster determination of buckling analysis results than the traditional FE analyses.

Full textAbstract:
Libraries in Indonesia are starting to compete in developing digital libraries. College, public, and regional libraries have started to develop digital libraries. The development of digital libraries is based on the consideration of providing opportunities for greater access to collections owned by libraries and adjusting the format of library services with the characteristics of users who are familiar with information technology products. Seeing the importance of digital libraries, BPAD DIY began to develop a digital library under the name I-Jogja. I-Jogja is a digital library portal developed in the Android and iOs operating systems. I-Jogja was developed using the iLibrary software created by PT. Woolu Maya script. I–Jogja offers a new concept in digital library management, where to access public collections, people do not need to download but borrow collections from the digital library portal. This digital collection lending concept is known as e-lending. Through research, the researcher aims to describe the management of I-Jogja as a new concept of digital library management. Research that researchers conducted using qualitative research methods. From this research, it is found that the text-based I-Jogja collection, to access I-Jogja must be registered in the application, functions as a means of fostering reading interest, policies related to membership and access patterns, is able to be a means of fostering reading interest, able to run on the operating system Android and iOS.

Full textAbstract:
Esta investigación analiza algunas de las conceptualizaciones urbanas y las estrategias proyectuales desarrolladas por la ‘vanguardia’ disciplinar de la posguerra europea en el período ‘pop’ (1956-1967), relacionadas con el ‘movimiento’ en sus implicancias lúdicas. Se definen como los principales operadores disciplinares: el Independent Group, la Internacional Situacionista, Yona Friedman, Cedric Price y el grupo ARCHIGRAM. 
 Se propone un enfoque original que analiza en sus obras el ‘moverse’, en tanto ‘jugar’ (play), como inspiración de una novedosa imaginería urbana y como auténtico generador de proyecto urbano al servicio del nuevo hombre libre (pop-homo ludens). El discurso se construye a modo de “collage”, abordando la producción de múltiples fuentes de época (eventos, proyectos y artículos), con una metodología sistémica y relacional. Esta (re)lectura de época profundiza en la historiografía del urbanismo, como aporte al entendimiento del desarrollo conceptual desde la superación del urbanismo funcionalista Moderno, hacia el abordaje urbano contemporáneo de una ciudad viva, compleja, “delirante, congestionada y caótica”. This research work analyzes some urban conceptualizations and design strategies developed by the disciplinary 'vanguard' movement of postwar Europe in the 'pop' era (1956-1967), from the standpoint of the playful implications of 'movement'. The major disciplinary operators at play are defined as: Team X, the Independent Group, the Situationist International, Yona Friedman, Cedric Price and the ARCHIGRAM group. This paper innovatively proposes to examine specific pieces of work under the light of the act of `moving´, understood as playing, as the inspiration for a new urban imagery and as an authentic generator of the city project serving the emergence of the new free man (pop-homo ludens). The script is constructed in the form of a collage, addressing the production of multiple sources taken from the pop era (events, projects and items), through a systemic and relational methodological lens. The proposed (re)reading of this historical period delves into the historiography of urbanism and contributes to the understanding of its conceptual development, from modern functionalist urbanism towards a contemporary urban approach that acknowledges the lively, complex, "delusional, congested and chaotic" city.

Abstract Current virtual assembly environments primarily allow assembly operations involving pick and place manipulations with hands. In some applications, assembly tools snap onto screws and are constrained. Some non-immersive systems create tool motion script models for the tool to execute the assembly operation. The inclusion of tools and realistic tool operations is a significant step in creating a better virtual assembly environment. We propose a technique to model hand held tools and the corresponding assembly operations in a virtual environment. Intermediate-location constraints and tool engagement constraints obtained from the CAD model are used to model the intermediate positions and engagements of a fastener tool, tool-part, and base-part. In addition, tool-based motion dependent on the rotation of the tool and the pitch of the thread has been achieved for a fastener part This allows us to simulate the physical reality of these interactions without using expensive collide, penetrate, correct, and align methods. The tools and tool/hand/part interactions have been modeled and tested in a virtual assembly and design environment successfully. This capability also allows tool accessibility and tool operability to be verified.

Full textAbstract:
In the realm of virtual reality (VR) research, the synergy of methodological advancements, technical innovation, and novel applications is paramount. Our work encapsulates these facets in the context of spatial ability assessments conducted within a VR environment. This paper presents a comprehensive and integrated framework of VR, eye-tracking, and electroencephalography (EEG), which seamlessly combines measuring participants’ behavioral performance and simultaneously collecting time-stamped eye tracking and EEG data to enable understanding how spatial ability is impacted in certain conditions and if such conditions demand increased attention and mental allocation. This framework encompasses the measurement of participants’ gaze pattern (e.g., fixation and saccades), EEG data (e.g., Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and Theta wave patterns), and psychometric and behavioral test performance. On the technical front, we utilized the Unity 3D game engine as the core for running our spatial ability tasks by simulating altered conditions of space exploration. We simulated two types of space exploration conditions: (1) microgravity condition in which participants’ idiotropic (body) axis is in statically and dynamically misaligned with their visual axis; and (2) conditions of Martian terrain that offers a visual frame of reference (FOR) but with limited and unfamiliar landmarks objects. We specifically targeted assessing human spatial ability and spatial perception. To assess spatial ability, we digitalized behavioral tests of Purdue Spatial Visualization Test: Rotations (PSVT: R), the Mental Cutting Test (MCT), and the Perspective Taking Ability (PTA) test and integrated them into the VR settings to evaluate participants’ spatial visualization, spatial relations, and spatial orientation ability, respectively. For spatial perception, we applied digitalized versions of size and distance perception tests to measure participants’ subjective perception of size and distance. A suite of C# scripts orchestrated the VR experience, enabling real-time data collection and synchronization. This technical innovation includes the integration of data streams from diverse sources, such as VIVE controllers, eye-tracking devices, and EEG hardware, to ensure a cohesive and comprehensive dataset. A pivotal challenge in our research was synchronizing data from EEG, eye tracking, and VR tasks to facilitate comprehensive analysis. To address this challenge, we employed the Unity interface of the OpenSync library, a tool designed to unify disparate data sources in the fields of psychology and neuroscience. This approach ensures that all collected measures share a common time reference, enabling meaningful analysis of participant performance, gaze behavior, and EEG activity. The Unity-based system seamlessly incorporates task parameters, participant data, and VIVE controller inputs, providing a versatile platform for conducting assessments in diverse domains. Finally, we were able to collect synchronized measurements of participants’ scores on the behavioral tests of spatial ability and spatial perception, their gaze data and EEG data. In this paper, we present the whole process of combining the eye-tracking and EEG workflows into the VR settings and collecting relevant measurements. We believe that our work not only advances the state-of-the-art in spatial ability assessments but also underscores the potential of virtual reality as a versatile tool in cognitive research, therapy, and rehabilitation.

Full textAbstract:
The Federal Aviation Administration instrumented four concrete slabs of a taxiway at the John F. Kennedy International Airport to collect pavement responses under aircraft and environmental loading. The study started with developing preprocessing scripts to organize, structure, and clean the collected data. As a result of the preprocessing step, the data became easier and more intuitive for pavement engineers and researchers to transform and process. After the data were cleaned and organized, they were used to develop two prediction models. The first prediction model employs a Bayesian calibration framework to estimate the unknown material parameters of the concrete pavement. Additionally, the posterior distributions resulting from the calibration process served as a sensitivity analysis by reporting the significance of each parameter for temperature distribution. The second prediction model utilized a machine-learning (ML) algorithm to predict pavement responses under aircraft and environmental loadings. The results demonstrated that ML can predict the responses with high accuracy at a low computational cost. This project highlighted the potential of using ML for future pavement design guidelines as more instrumentation data from future projects are collected to incorporate various material properties and pavement structures.
