Abstract:

One of the major challenges that state highway agencies face is the need to estimate performance curves for different functional classifications of highways and traffic loads, considering the limitations of resources and equipment required for data collection and management activities. The need to estimate the remaining useful life of pavements in different climatic regions with a variety of subgrade conditions is crucial for the efficient allocation of maintenance and rehabilitation funds. A methodology that addresses both the performance and regional climatic aspects is presented. Essential

Abstract:

Given Puerto Rico’s colonial exclusion from Latin American and Caribbean regionalism and its ruling parties’ disregard for stimulating an industrial base of small and medium-sized local enterprises rather than U.S. multinational corporations, Puerto Rico needs to construct new pathways to inclusive socioeconomic development. One approach is articulating strategic and industrial policies to stimulate these enterprises from below by promoting value chains focused on exports or export potential. A proposed systematization draws on the experience gained in a project carried out under an agreement

Abstract:

Successful knowledge-based economic models rely on synergy between government, industry and academia. This paper reviews the efforts to convert the island of Puerto Rico from a manufacturing to a high-tech manufacturing/research and development economy with information technology and biotechnology as the main development strongholds. The formation of clusters and partnership between government, industry and academia are essential requirements for successful economies. The strategic approach adopted in Puerto Rico is exemplified by the university-industry partnership developed by the University

Abstract:

This essay delves into five interconnected themes shaping Puerto Rico's economic trajectory. Firstly, it highlights an entrenched reliance on fiscal federalism, characterizing an inefficient relationship with the United States, impeding the island's economic autonomy. Secondly, the essay explores how a dependency on federal funds has inadvertently stifled the island's political leadership, hindering efforts to cultivate internal productive capacities. A crucial aspect is the insufficient backing and cultivation of Puerto Rico's economic backbone: its Small and Medium Size Enterprises (SMEs/PYM

Abstract:

This piece shares preservice teachers and instructors reflections on their perceptions of a course on Spanish language arts methods in Puerto Rico. The course was redesigned to focus on interrelated curricular and pedagogical aspects such as literacies as situated social practice, funds of knowledge, popular culture and critical literacy. In redesigning the course the instructor and colleague/co-researcher explored perspectives related to “inquiry as stance” (Cochran-Smith & Lytle, 2009) and engaged with the students on inquiry approaches and practices to examine the collective experience

AbstractAs we pass the Quincentennial of the founding of the Spanish empire we stand within two years of marking the centennial of its demise in Asia and the New World in 1998. In recent years, much research has focused on the changes wrought on indigenous populations at the time of initial contact, but little consideration has been given to the material legacy of this empire. This study will examine the material aspects of two Spanish colonies, the Philippines and Puerto Rico at the end of nearly four centuries of Spanish colonization. Archaeological evidence from the two colonies is compared

Abstract:

Thirty-four states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico have legalized medical cannabis. While no two state medical cannabis programs are alike, public health concerns related to advertising, packaging and labeling, pesticide use, scientific research, and the role of medical cannabis in the opioid crisis are emerging across the country. This article examines these issues, the policy approaches states are adopting to protect patients and the public, and an assessment of the underlying federal legal landscape.

The key principles associated with command and control, contingency planning, and resource management were considered in the context of the most recent major response—the barge Morris J.

Speaking about the American choral music, conductor Kathy Romey observed that “our choral inheritance reflects a kaleidoscope of cultural and religious roots which gave birth to an astonishing melting pot” of musical and individual voices. The “American” choral music can be observed from two geographic perspectives – the United States and North America – which include works of composers from Canada, the United States, Puerto Rico, and Mexico. In both contexts, “specific American” choral music is extremely varied, flexible, and in a continuous cha

Introduction: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a cancer notorious for being quite challenging to manage clinically and having a high death rate among adults. In Puerto Rico (PR), the University Hospital (UH) is the major referral center for adults diagnosed with AML. However, a comprehensive study of this population is lacking, representing a knowledge gap. The objective of this retrospective study was to assess the clinical aspects, presentations and outcomes of the AML patients treated at this single institution, thus, filling a clinical and scientific need.

Abstract:

Ecosystems have long been categorized by their function and structure (Odum 1953) and dominance and diversity are among the most common structural parameters measured in plant communities. The dominance of a plant species over another has been defined by having (1) more individual plants in a given sampling plot, (2) more collective biomass, or (3) greater cover (i.e. leaf area), but implicit in all definitions is a better ability to capture resources, grow and compete. Alternatively, diversity is a community-wide parameter encompassing both the raw number of species and the distribution of in

The weather-related disasters in 2017 in Texas, Florida, Puerto Rico, the 2017-2018 wildfire seasons in California and Hurricanes Florence and Michael in 2018 have challenged all healthcare professionals, to have plans in place to protect their facility, patients, and staff from all possible hazards. These were “slowly developing” events, with enormous media coverage, and yet the results were still horrific. The need to have both a good evacuation plan and a good shelter-in-place plan has previously been dramatically demonstrated. When planning for disasters, it is critical for healthcare prov
